Moving on

[Anastasia]

What precisely are you casting it on? You have to target an object.

"Oh, that's a good idea," Emily murmurs, "I'll remember that one for later."

"We could use a stronger version of it another day," Jarem agrees, "Good work. Now stay quiet and stealthy, and keep your eyes open. A single flash of electricity could be what we need."

Ianvasah swirls, water rippling around her.

[Iron Dragoon]

Um, can I wield shifting steel while controlling a smaller object? I'll use one of the shrunken boulders if so. If not, then just Shifting Steel.

[Anastasia]

Is it a one or two handed weapon?

[Iron Dragoon]

Shifting is a Great Sword, so 2h.

[Anastasia]

No, you'd need to cast it on the sword itself then.

[Iron Dragoon]

Lets do that, then.

[Anastasia]

Thus it is cast and...

Give me Perception, Alyssa. Note any unusual means of perception as well.

You swim for perhaps 20 minutes, in a corona of light that barely illuminates the endless seas around you. You're soaked as you swim onward, magics keeping you protected and moving easily. That's when you see it - far ahead, a crackle of electricity, momentarily flashing in the dark ocean waters ahead.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa uses the telepathy granted to her to point it out to the others.

I'm not sure how stealth works in water? I guess angle of approach and blind spots or something?

[Anastasia]

Yes, as well as darkness and other related senses such as feeling currents for natives. It all depends.

'Saw it, too,' Emily sends.

'Careful now,' Jarem says, 'Fan out and close in. Whatever you do, don't let it get a charge at you. You saw what it did to Ianvasah.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'I'm going to try to get in close unnoticed. I have a trick that might make this easier...'

[Anastasia]

'Go on, then,' Jarem invites, 'Just be careful.'

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa attempts to use knowledge of sea creatures to approach stealthily, moving Shifting Steel to it's scabbard on her back!

So I just realized that it might be important what type of scabbard she uses? I'd prefer the minimal kind, the type that's just a strap around the guard area. Seems she'd like to show it off, so covering it wouldn't be her first choice, but up to you.

[Anastasia]

That's fine.

What knowledge are you trying to draw on here?
