'Plane shift from the fourth floor.' Tryll says, heading to the site to examine it.

[Nephrite]

"So they stole the grail, walked... across a desert, came to this tower and then... plane shifted?" Moore asks aloud. "None of this makes any sense. Let's meet up with Tryll and see if we can determine where they went. We may still be able to find them." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"It makes no logical sense if viewed from our point of view. Therefore, they are either chaotic or in possession of facts and motive we are not in possession of," Sixtus says crisply.

Meanwhile, it takes a bit of doing, but getting up to where Tryll is happens without incident.

[Nephrite]

"Right, exactly." Moore agrees as they go.

Assuming Hindsight doesn't tell him anything, he'll examine the lingering magic!

Moore will take 10 on Spellcraft for 97 (using GI points + divine insight)

He would like to try and figure out the following:

1) Where the Plane Shift was to,
2) If it was regular Plane Shift or Greater Plane Shift (i.e. if they were being specific)
3) Who the caster of the spell was.

[Anastasia]

Are you using any particular epic skill usages here?

[Nephrite]

I would like to use the epic usage to Discover the caster, as well as determine the spell level.

Since discovering the caster takes one minute, assuming that's too long for him to find out, he'd at least like to try and determine -where- the spell was directed, if that is possible.

[Anastasia]

The magic's not going anywhere that fast, it's just a question of if you want to spend the time doing it.

[Nephrite]

If he can tell where they are going / where they went, then let's proceed with that.

[Anastasia]

This has come up, this really should be some sort of epic skill usage or be ruled not to be possible. We've done this before, right?

[Nephrite]

To my knowledge, no, but I don't mind if it's an epic skill usage.

[Anastasia]

I'll figure that out post session.

The plane shift went to the Astral Plane.

[Nephrite]

"They went to the Astral." Moore says. "But since I have no idea where, there, that limits our options to give chase."

[Anastasia]

"They wanted us to follow if they could just plane shift," Kaja announces, "I must be right -they're throwing in wastes of time to occupy resources from more serious attacks, ones designed to do this."

[Nephrite]

"I think I agree with you." Moore says. "There's no sense in any of this."

Moore takes out his stone to report back to Barachiel -- that they've basically been given a time-consuming chase that seems to point to there being another reason for the theft.

[Anastasia]

'Very well, return. Attacks are winding down - word has come that the assault on Zaaman Rul was repulsed.'
