The path ahead is...

[Anastasia]

THERE! You see it out of the corner of your eye, a moving blur - you don't feel it, but you can see it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa tries to catch hold of it with her TK while firing off a mental, 'There it is!' to Ianvasah.

[Anastasia]

In that case, init.

Init:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+19 : 10 + 19, total 29[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+12 Ianvasah
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 28 > [d20=16]
> roll 1d20+14
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 16 > [d20=2]

Init is Alyssa (29) > Ianvasah (28) > ??? (16)

Open.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa tries to seize the thing with her TK!

[Anastasia]

CMB.

Got it! It's a tiny black gemstone - no larger than a dot in the air. You hold it in place, the stone no longer able to move.

"A gem?" Ianvasah marvels, "Some sort of probe or familiar?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Possibly. Could be sentient in it's own right..."

Alyssa moves to inspect it, casting Detect Magic as she does.

[Anastasia]

Spellcraft then.

[Anastasia]

The gem looks to be the focus for a scrying spell, powerfully enhanced to see far more than a scrying does.

[Iron Dragoon]

What options do I have to block this? Just a Dispel?

[Anastasia]

Yes, a dispel would get rid of it.
