Elemental Movements

[Nephrite]

How about just using Limited Wish to move all the books into my bag? That may be beyond a 6th level sorc spell though, I admit... I can't think of any spell to just move things for me. Obviously teleporting them won't work so it'd have to be some sort of almost levitation sort of thing.

[Anastasia]

That's reasonable for it, sure. Want to?

[Nephrite]

Yes, let's go with that plan.

[Anastasia]

With a burst of magic, the books flow steadily and smoothly into your bag, one after another.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right, let's go back to where we started, prepare ourselves for a final assault, and then be done with this place."

Intent is to go back to the original entry points.

[Anastasia]

You fly back up to the roof. Yet as you reach the final stairs ahead, you see it - absolute darkness. A darkness that covers everything ahead, blotting it out even to your true seeing enhanced senses.

"Utterdark or worse," Xandra declares, "Caution, we are anticipated."

[Nephrite]

Take 10 on Spellcraft for 89 to ID the spell and the spellcaster.

[Anastasia]

The spell is Bleak Utterdark and the caster is Majanal.

Feel free to make an K:N check on Majanal.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 94 on K:N.

EDIT: Also, can you tell me how Bleak Utterdark differs from Utterdark? I don't see it in the spell list.

[Anastasia]

It's a custom spell. From your spellcraft, it saps the energy and ability of good creatures within it on top of the normal properties of utterdark. Goodly creatures come in and corpses come out, ideally for the spellcaster.

It's one of those spells that isn't posted because it's a bad guy spell.

[Nephrite]

would protection from negative energy keep it from doing damage or anything of that sort?

Also, i did a K:N on the caster.

[Anastasia]

You don't think it would.

Majanal is an Unseelie Fey, a pixielike creature who savors death and destruction. While a powerful mage, his main entertainment is tearing the bodies of his prey apart. He is akin to a hunting spider or other such thing in nature, uncaring of anything but his own needs and desires. The Queen of Air and Darkness dislikes him, and as such, he spends little time at Court. He wanders freely, engaging in whatever trouble catches his eye.

[Nephrite]

"We can't pass through it without harming ourselves, unless all of you can somehow fool reality into becoming evil." Moore explains to the others. "I know traditionally extremely powerful things that create light can suppress this stuff but I don't know that we have anything like that. Also, we're up against an Unseelie Fey named Majanal." He adds.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel hefts his hammer and smiles grimly. "Then we go out the sides. Shall I?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "By all means."
