IC Thread: 4) Longtail's Folly

[cave_lion]

Dordolio...pulls his sword and sends a clear thought to Harpsent "Can you check that doorway? be careful! (looking at AO19)"

Harpsent fades down to a dull blue glow and disappears for a moment...stretching into several moments...and then returns next to Dordolio "There doesn't appear to be anything in the doorway or in the hallway leading away from it.  There is a small room to the right that has a very frightened orc hiding in it."

Arpat--I didn't log the bracelet in the treasure log since Dordolio has claimed it...everything else is now THERE

[Arpat]

Dordolio tells the others what Harpsent has seen...

@Cave_Lion thats cool. He actually took the bracelet since he liked it and he is a little egoistical. he just didn't think of asking anybody. he was searching and found a nice item. if someone really needs it or has good use of it he would not bother to give it anyway (he is egoistical but also has a big ego. He "stands above pityfull personal stuff" although... having it is nice and opens sometimes nice RP opportunities. I guess Dordolio will someday regret his ooeh nice trinket grabbing actions

[Anderlorn]

Taedyn decides the Whip Feather Token could come in handy.

"Dordolio are you claiming the Whip Feather Token?  If not, I would like to claim it.  I would like to use the token to distract enemies, especially those enemies that threaten me during spell casting, and to capture enemies."

[jennaver]

As Dordolio and Taedyn discuss the new bobbles, Sheen observes their activities from Dakar's shoulder commenting quietly to him....."the skills of thievery and plunder have never been ours though we may need to practice them a bit more aggressively in the future to insure a fair outcome for ourselves.  Even the stealthy Ameera was not quick enough to earn a bargaining position in this current division of loot....we have much to learn in this new environment Dakar.  For now we will watch and wait to see where the hearts of our new friends lie."

[Arpat]

"no... nono..." Dordolio replies with a grin and he sheates his sword "i just showed it to Teledesic, but i don't want it."
Dordolio hads over the pouch with the little things to taedyn.
"I only took this bracelet." Dordolio shows his wrist with the dolphins. "it's very pretty..." he points at the golden nose ring "and i want to create something nice from that piece of metal when there is time and opportunity. maybe a nice bracelet for our invisible friend."
Dordolio shrugs... "not even sure if i am capable enough, but i like to try. Without Sheen we would have a hard time..."

[Anderlorn]

Taedyn takes the feather token and holds it up.

"As I suggested before, it should be the party's decision of how the loot is distributed.  Does the party agree with my claim to the whip feather token and Dordolio's new bracelet?"

Taedyn points to the Dolphin bracelet.

"This may not necessarily be the best time to vote, however I plan on using this feather in our next encounter so the decision needs to be done now or I can borrow it and we can decide later."

[jennaver]

From Dakar's shoulder, sheen nods his head and looks to Dakar and the rest of the party "That is no plaything for a Pixie!"

As they gear up to move again Sheen will disappear and hover somewhere over Dakar....out of sword range - he is preparing the actions for a sleep spell in his mind making sure he has all of the components memorized and in place in case it is needed......hoping it won't be needed but knowing full well it will.

[Anderlorn]

Taedyn nods and puts away the whip feather token in his pouch.

"Harpsent, can you detect invisible creatures as well?"

[cave_lion]

Taedyn nods and puts away the whip feather token in his pouch.

"Harpsent, can you detect invisible creatures as well?"

The archon pulses back into brightness as he replies "No sir, I cannot detect invisible creatures by sight or other special means."

[Anderlorn]

"Hmm, well if the demons are invisible they can still surprise us.  This would be a new tactic for them."

"Hmm, I know.  Kenden, can you please search that whole back area?  If you are not comfortable doing it alone, perhaps Harpsent can take you from room to room and hallway to hallway?  If there are any damaged ones, you will should still be able to detect them if they are invisible unless they have some sort of anti-scrying powers?"

[OOC - I am talking about both hallways between A25 and A28, and the long room on the (West?) side of A28.]

[cave_lion]

Kenden glides up to Taidyn and nods his head at the request, looking over the map of the area Taedyn is talking about "I can go look, but I am pretty sure there are no damaged ones in this area.  I've not sensed any at all yet."

He then flies through the open doorway [AO19] into the darkness, returning a few moments later "Just empty halls and dead bodies down there that I can see Taedyn.  That little room [pointing to A28 on the map] has a closed door, but I didn't detect any damaged ones behind it."

[Arpat]

"Taedyn... are you sieng ghosts?" Dordolio grins widely...
"Teledesic saw one running past the door. if they could be invisible they probably would be.... invisible. Maybe detecting magic would help? after all invisibility is some form of magic."Dordolio pulls his sword agian and moves to the door "i would say lets check that scared orc..."

"You have lots to learn my friend.  Why do you think there is a detect invisibility spell if detect magic worked on invisible creatures?"

"We should check out the area anyway.  Everyone on their guard."

[kabkal]

Kev is not sure about the idea of ghosts.  Invisibility he can handle, but ghosts, that is a different matter.

He readies his sword, and looks about.

[Arpat]

Dordolio grumbles and mutters something.. and the ones with good ears could hear him mutter "i'm not a wizard, but i know it sometimes works... that i havent tested it doesn't mean it doesn't help"  However... this is not the time and place to discuss...
"Are we ready to move on?"

Invisibility does not foil detection spells.

A detect spell doesn't make an invisible creature or object visible, but if an unseen subject is in the area where the spell is aimed, the spell can give some hint of the unseen subject's presence. For example, a detect magic spell reveals the presence or absence of magical auras in the area where it is aimed. An invisible creature using an invisibility spell or magic item has a magical aura (thanks to the active spell or magic item) and a detect magic spell aimed into its area will reveal that aura. All the spell user knows, however, is that there is magic present somewhere within the area where the spell is aimed. If the detect magic user scans that same area for 3 consecutive rounds, the spell can reveal the location of the invisible magical aura (if the creature is still in area). The spell doesn't reveal anything else about the creature, or even that it is a creature at all. The spell user could aim an attack at the creature's location and have a chance to hit it
