00:20:30 Devastator: Uh oh, appointment time.
00:21:06 Devastator: Lets see how good a job that arcanist did in making protection.
00:21:28 Devastator: Yeah. It seems nobody there mentioned the brain-spirits exploding a charm or doing various mind-related smackdowns when asked.
00:21:33 Devastator: so.. normal precautions.
00:21:54 ER: I don't think any of them realized that was the spirits
00:22:07 ER: though they probably could have gotten it if they read Sh 1
00:22:18 Devastator: not tooo bad, 2 points and 5 points.
00:22:42 Devastator: though head-splodey guy had 8 when he almost had his head exploded..
02:07:05 Devastator: good draggy update.
02:31:34 ER: "half-dozen imperial exorcists"
02:34:29 Devastator: Spirits that roll at +8 are not normal.
02:37:21 Devastator: because some numbskull is going to extinguish the sun.
02:43:33 Devastator: In game terms, because I don't want you to have tg deal with mind-affecting effects, and because I didn't want you able to use them for power.
02:54:15 Devastator: If you meant, "Why You", that's the final post in Sh 1.

08:43:47 syv: I *know* I set my alarm, but it was turned off when I woke up. It also relocated to being facedown on the floor.
08:44:19 syv: This must be the work of an enemy stand!
08:45:32 syv: ...And I'm *still* tired, ugh.
08:51:42 Devastator: I hung around another 20 minutes just in case.
08:52:42 Devastator: I know I'm doing it wrong.
08:53:57 syv: I don't know anything about the magic word rendering you're doing.
08:54:15 syv: But the other stuff seems... reasonable, if mayve iinefficient,
08:55:53 Devastator: so how to scry for a specific key with View, then?
08:56:23 syv: Possibly just summoning a view of a key.
08:57:14 syv: Actually, that might work well. Summon a temporary view of the king's key, then Ekrov can use that view as a focus for his own scrying, or a reverse-banish spell.
08:58:18 Devastator: And I have the door right there.
08:58:34 syv: I could see it being more than a d8 cost.
09:01:01 syv: The only other idea I have offhand is basically the same as yours, with the change that it just *changes* your view when you're closer to looking at it. A warmer/colder kinds thing. That'd be easier to do than making the spyglass *only* see keys, I think, and sounds more functionally usable... though it still might have the simple problem of there only being one king's key, and many other keys.
09:01:28 Devastator: I do have an ice spell.
09:01:34 syv: Specifying that it *only* detects the king's key might make it very effective, but could also just be ridiculously difficult.
09:02:07 Devastator: View Ice on a dowsing rod.
09:02:12 Devastator: so it gets cold when close to the target.
09:02:27 Devastator: sadly, that drops the power all the way to d4.
09:03:34 syv: It really might be better for me to just spam d12 "animate" scrying spells.
09:04:01 syv: They're pretty safe, and don't sound much less suitable than your spell.
09:04:05 Devastator: But I should try a couple of spells.
09:04:45 syv: Could do it cooperatively. Ekrov casts the basic scrying, Saeko buffs it.
09:05:02 Devastator: Maybe strengthen can sort by 'power' of the key.
09:05:11 Devastator: so it makes a forest of dots, but the king one stands out.
09:05:22 syv: Make an animated map of the ruins, which only shows a portion of them, then Saeko grows/strengthens it to encompass thenahole ruins.
09:05:34 syv: Or she does that--buffs the map to sort keys, yeah.
09:07:37 syv: If you want me to do that I'll do it.
09:07:53 syv: I don't have any great ideas here.
09:08:59 Devastator: summon a view of the king doors key.
09:09:05 Devastator: you then reverse-banish the key now that you can see it.
09:09:16 Devastator: It can't work, but I have to try it.
09:10:39 syv: Okay, I'm game for trying that.
09:11:17 Devastator: I'll then add orders to do any support spells such as a strengthen should you want to make a key map or something.
