After the words

[Anastasia]

Sure. Which one first?

[Iron Dragoon]

Depends, is Moore in the middle of something? If so, then which can be completed fastest: True name or ability stuff? I'm not sure how you want to handle the ability thing since we haven't really talked about it much except in conjunction with the template thing.

[Anastasia]

Moore's tied up, so go ahead and try one of the others. In that case, true name. Run me through your goals there.

[Iron Dragoon]

PM'd it to you here on the board.

[Anastasia]

Okay, go ahead and give me an Intelligence check. The research checks for this aren't that hard for you and don't need to be rolled unless I say so, since you can't fail most of the Knowledge checks.

[Iron Dragoon]

Int:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+13 : 8 + 13, total 21[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

You work and research - it doesn't look impossible, but you'll either need to find someone with more knowledge, or spend a bit of money on an expensive focus to work out the ritual.

[Iron Dragoon]

How much money we talkin' here? And do I already know someone who fits that bill?

[Anastasia]

About 5 grand and no, you'd have to research it and take time. Your call.

[Iron Dragoon]

I'm good with 5k

[Anastasia]

Okay, go post the expense in loot, then give me another Intelligence check.

[Iron Dragoon]

Int:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+13 : 17 + 13, total 30[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

It takes work and study, narrowing down and focusing it - but in time you have it. Your true name is...

Go ahead. This is hard but not impossible - certainly not the biggest deal for an epic level character. Kascha has hers, Antenora had her old one as an erinyes, so on and so forth.

[Iron Dragoon]

Amphelisia. It rings something deep in her, crystallizing her drive and need for freedom and adventure, helping define herself and solidify the concept of who she is.

[Anastasia]

Thus you hold your true name in your mind, clear and clarion as can be. The question is: What do you do with it?
