Chapter 2: Through a glass darkly (ooc)

Don't read it. It is just the small print. Bad for your eyes, you know?

Players who do not post regularly shall be flogged, tared, feathered, quartered and hanged (in this order). There will be no waterboarding though since it is not torture.

BTW, I'll be away this week-end.

Hey, I'm here. I'm just not the one doing anything right now.

We should all get our arses into gear and get through the mirror asap.
Probably a bit unfair to have one person stuck there unable to interact.

Helena, Berneguer and Hiems have passed through (away?), Viscaria, Cygna and Serrano are still on the cottage side.

We can go on if you have the self-discipline not to peak into the other thread (which may or ay not be set in a level 10 divine regio with a bearded man carrying keys).

Kitchen? This is two rooms including kitchen I thought, but well, okay, there is a kitchen (so the chimey is between the kitchen and the mirror room).

Guess i wasnt being clear , i did know it was only two rooms , but i probably meant from wherever we have supplies stacked.
I had this idea that standard village hovels were a three room affair for some reason.

Be a dear! :stuck_out_tongue:
Not the type of speech i was expecting from a Majorly Wrathful SwanMay.
Thats the kind of language my very proper and kindly grandmother used.
As for the portal , we shall see. :smiling_imp:

Level of effect 20
Spont for Invisible Scythe of the Unseen Harvester , ReHe 20
R: Touch , D: Mom , T: Group
As much grass as can be cut in a single day is hewn.
Base 03 , +01 Touch , +04 Group (10x10 paces of grass x 1000)

(10+09x02+0-03+0)/2 ; Casting Total = 0
Roll
Check for Botch : Yes
Wait , nearly forgot the extra die for Weird Magic (page 61) , 04

OK , a botch combined with Chaotic Magic (page 52) and i get a warping point.
So , what happens now.

I wasnt being randomly chaotic with the spell.
Thought it would make the villagers less suspicious if the grass was cut and the place looked inhabited.

I will do a few stress die rolls for making new clothes , finesse and of course sponting ReCo hair growth.
At least 2 spells for clothes (+ finesse rolls) and the hair growth.
results = 2/3/2/1/8/7
If you want all the working out , i can do it.
The craft spells are formulaic and covered by the focus , so should work.
SD for spell 01 = 02 , SD for Finesse Roll = 03
Finesse Roll: 02+03(+01 He)(+02)+03(Craft at 05)+06(major virtue)+03 = 20
SD for spell 02 = 02 , SD for Finesse Roll = 01 , 08
Finesse Roll: 02+03(+02)+03(Craft at 05)+06(major virtue)+16 = 32

HoH: Societates has the ease factor table on page 61
24 the finest work done by grandmasters in an art
27 the epitome of skill in an art

If you dont like the die rolls , im happy to re-roll.

SD for spont = 07
Base 15 , +0 personal , +0 momentary , +0 individual (unless you want +01 part)
(Re10 + Co04 + 0 - 03 + 07)/02 = 09
Having failed to achieve my target level of 15 (no real surprise) ,
you can do something else horrible to my poor abused character. :frowning:

okay, it works

Where are our grogs? It just isnt Ars Magica without flunkies. :slight_smile:

Because they hadnt been washed since they were last used. Eww!
InCo spells revealed far too much of the activities on those sheets.

Dude, we're carrying the supplies! Viscaria's pile is probably so high that she can't see over them. It's not like any of us memorized Unseen Porter.

Or Tenser's Floating Disco. :mrgreen:
Floating Disc
What level are we all supposed to be anyway.

I think , even as magi , we know enough to rig a travois to pull stuff along
and the use of backpack technology is not beyond our feeble magical powers.

bwahahahaha!

Okay, that was funny! :smiley:

C'mon! Just let go of the rope and walk on through. Everybody is doing it!

Peer pressure! Peer pressure!

Just to explicitly mention it, Viscaria dropped off the letter with Father Pierre before heading in with Serrano.

Or Cygna, or somebody. The point is, the letter got dropped off. We told somebody we were about to do The Stupid Thing, not just talked about how we should. Int+3 and all that.

Just means you can process information 16x faster than someone with Int 0. :slight_smile:
Someone in the party should have taken the Commonsense Virtue.
Anyway , who paid the postage?
Can we really trust a fat Redcap in Narbonne who is being watched by the Dominicans?
