#1 aramar_the_black Aug 26, 2008 14:27:11	Welcome to the Council of the Archmages. We are the oldest foundation still in existence and we have always been one of the most powerful. We were around before this whole guildwars or even this Guild House subforum was founded. Our original purpose, believe it or not, was the discussion and creation of all things arcane. While the original creator {Archmage of Nethril} may have named this place Council of Archmages, I assure you all types of spell casters are allowed. Everyone will have a domain. Upon joining, one must request a domain. One of the things that has been handed down throughout the long history of the CoA are the rules of the domain. Domains may not be too powerful and one specific rule that is incredibly old and was always being broken [but quickly fixed] – No race archmages. For example: There is an Archmage of Fire, Archmage of Shadow ect. There is one exception you may notice. A famous Archmage was titled: The Archmage of High Elven Magic. This Archmage was not the “Archmage of Elves” but of a very specific style of magic that happens to come from the elves. -Frostbite Ravenheart, Archbard. Edited by Aramar the Black Yes, friends, this is the 10th incarnation of the Council. The Council exists both for those who wish only to discuss magic, as well as for those who want to take part in the IFWG (Inter-Foundation War Games). As far as the latter goes, know that we have established our headquarters on Thalingrad Isle. The issue of Guild funds and resouces will be posted here as well, as soon as we get some things sorted out. So come on in and stay awhile.
#2 aramar_the_black Aug 26, 2008 14:27:56	Reserved for links and whatnot Council of the Archmages, Tome Nine Council of the Archmages V8 Council of the Archmages, V7 The Council forums at Conforms (outdated) Threads 1-6 are either buried quite deep in the archives or deleted for good. All that remains is what exists on my (and maybe somebody else's) hard drive. Archives of existing homebrew material can be found in either of the following: Official Council Library V4 Council Archive at freewebs List of the current and active members (along with in-game character and archmage domains): Aramar the Black, Archmage of Ice Bookmen, Archmage of Aberrant Magic CaptainShar, Archmage of Snowballs Turalisj, Archmage of Serpentkind Nightscreamer20, Archmage of Light Von Crown, Archmage of Undeath Let me know if I've made any mistakes
#3 bookmen Aug 26, 2008 17:22:39	I would like to change my title to the Archmage of Aberrations. So shall we begin the conversation of how we shall construct the guild hall again? I think Lycan's post shall be very useful. We really could do a lot with our magic, thus saving money that can be put to use else where.
#4 turalisj Aug 26, 2008 17:58:26	The Council exists both for those who wish only to discuss magic, as well as for those who want to take part in the IFWG (Inter-Foundation War Games). *cough* Fix'd :P Several ectoplasmic serpents writhe out of the ground. One by one, they merge into the form of an ethreal elf, a serpentine staff in hand. Zik looked around, pulling out a pipe and sticking it in his mouth. Now, where d'ya suppose we begin? I would suggest we look for a place near the shoreline, on a cliff if possible. We can build both upwards and downwards from there. Once we have enough funds, we can requist the small amount of materials that we need from the Merchant's Guild. After that, it is a matter of time before we get a decent sized Guild Hall constructed. For the city, I am sure there are those who do not enjoy the recent monarch rising to power and would like to find some other home. It would be relativly cheap for us to construct small, two or three room homes to start a city off with.
#5 bookmen Aug 26, 2008 19:12:45	Dang. Zik is at least, if not fully, right. We can't handle everything via spells since we will want people to come here. Either we pay for everything and have the NPCs build it or we spell construct it all and send out a speaking spell to tell everyone they will be safe here. We should send out messages to everyone leaving the Proper telling them they can come here anyways, but if we tack on "Well paying jobs available" then we are sure to get more people. The ways we can send out messages: -Posters -illusions -Wizards with fly spells and loud voices -word of mouth (news of safety and free jobs should travel fast) -Well placed message spells (Sending and the like) (this would be another form of word or mouth; messages sent to high ranking people as they and their employees/followers/etc leave)
#6 aramar_the_black Aug 27, 2008 0:06:31	Either we pay for everything and have the NPCs build it or we spell construct it all and send out a speaking spell to tell everyone they will be safe here. Or, we could do...both? We could certainly build quite a bit wih magic, but we could also have NPCs come in and help as well. We could help them with their houses a bit, and let them do some work on the stronghold, to garner good relations. I mean, how many persons would want to say "I helped the Council's castle" or "that's right, Billy, our house has a nice blessing from the Council itself" And, it looks like it's time for Aramar and his servants to visit the Tyranor bulliten boards again. As far as the domain of aberrations....we technically don't allow race domains. (type or subtype) I'd suggest changing to something similar, such as "aberrant magic". Would this work well enough?
#7 bookmen Aug 27, 2008 7:05:17	It seems the spells wont construct as much of the castle as I thought. aberrant magic will do wonderfully. I've relly been liking aberrations for a good while now (blame H.P. Lovecraft).
#8 turalisj Aug 27, 2008 7:12:13	A single spell wont. A single psionic power just might though. Specifically, Greater Psionic Fabricate. Your average 15th level shaper with a 16 intelligence can manifest it 19 times per day, giving you 2850 cubic feet of fabricated material. All we need to do is find a mountain or the side of a cliff. We can easily build a large enough cas-erm, guild hall, if we just go outside the box a bit. We can use Wall of Stone to create the foundation/outer walls of some minor areas (places for students and workers to stay, etc) and then Fabricate up the inside such as doors and window frames. The cost would be for what? A single tree :P http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/fabricateGreaterPsionic.htm http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/fabricatePsionic.htm http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/fabricate.htm
#9 aramar_the_black Aug 27, 2008 16:48:48	aberrant magic will do wonderfully. I've relly been liking aberrations for a good while now (blame H.P. Lovecraft). Heh. I'm actually reading the Dream cycle right now. Good stuff. I'll get your title changed.
#10 captainshar Aug 27, 2008 17:57:25	Sounds good. I'm planning to retire Twinkle and introduce another sort of mage, who'll be more helpful with building things that don't melt.
#11 bookmen Aug 27, 2008 19:23:30	I mean to bring Val into the Council soon enough, but he doesn't know fabricate or any wall spells other then Wall of Force. He will have the 50,000 gp he can give and if he studies from oe of the council spell books then he will be able to add to the spell construction, but don't wait on him of course since he is in Hades right now.
#12 NightScreamer20 Aug 28, 2008 0:32:47	Actually I voted Rayne Archmage of Light or Life... how many other of your Archmages can cast Heal?
#13 aramar_the_black Aug 28, 2008 8:48:52	how many other of your Archmages can cast Heal? *Aramar raises his hand*
#14 NightScreamer20 Aug 28, 2008 9:05:47	#1 That doesn't make sense. #2 He's an NPC he doesn't count. #3 He doesn't worship Pelor, ergo anything he does is null and void. Yup.
#15 gulien Aug 28, 2008 13:52:13	You just made me so proud i cant even contain myself. *highfive*
#16 aramar_the_black Aug 28, 2008 14:47:56	#1 That doesn't make sense. #2 He's an NPC he doesn't count. #3 He doesn't worship Pelor, ergo anything he does is null and void. Yup. #1 Sure it does. Aramar's been a mystic theurge since his first incarnation. #2 Counts enough for the issue at hand. Not that it's a serious issue. #3 Now somebody's just jealous.
#17 von_crown Aug 29, 2008 0:56:13	*Raises hand with Aramar* Btw, for title I'm thinking something like Archmage of the Farthest Reaches
#18 turalisj Aug 29, 2008 15:12:25	Off in the distance, a sailing ship can be seen. It's sail, shaped like that of a great bird, waves in the distance. Atop the main deck of the ship stands Ailuth, looking sternly across the sea to the island. Mr. Jeeves, find us a safe place to dock. Mr. Crown, shall we get ready to land? This is, of course, assuming nothing (such as a kracken attack) happens on the way.
#19 von_crown Aug 30, 2008 2:53:44	With the others "Ah it seems I'm almost here. I'll be seeing you all shortly." The image winks out On the boat "It would seem the logical course of action, the shore being where it is."
#20 captainshar Aug 30, 2008 15:06:28	No kraken attacks at the moment. *** By the way: the NPCs "attracted" and "transported" while Ailuth, Aramar, and Von Crown are unstatted will have no bearing on the guild's status.
#21 turalisj Sep 01, 2008 0:49:40	Acknowledge. That isn't to say, however, they could be recruited later is it? Also, what kind of price modifiers would Thalingrad Isle have in terms of stronghold price mods (lawless, etc)? What kind of reasources does it have (in terms of timber, stone, etc)? Finaly, Tortuga had a pirate city didn't it? Ailuth stepped off the ship, looking around. Let us disembark then. Tell me, Mr. Crown, where would the Council be at? My ship can be used as a temporary quarters by my people, but I am afraid I have little room for civilians.
#22 von_crown Sep 01, 2008 15:22:47	"Well, I believe construction is still in the planning stages." He puts on a pair of bulky goggles and fiddles with some knobs on the side. "Mmmm... over there would be best, I suppose." He points at an area currently heavily forested.
#23 turalisj Sep 01, 2008 21:11:37	Ailuth nodded. Let's hurry and go meet with them then. I will need a list of all groups across the continent who might support our cause and any mercenaries willing to work for spoils.
#24 von_crown Sep 02, 2008 3:10:06	He walks with her to the others, talking as he does. "Well, from what I heard, there's those White Raven blokes, who I imagine are likely to be on our side. I imagine we'll also be able to count on aid from the Seafarer's Guild, which may prove useful. Unfortunately, I'm uncertain if we'll be able to get assistance from the church of Pelor, since your father seems to have rather upset them. Though I suppose if we didn't approach them as being from the Council, we may have more success, however I'm afraid I may be more of a burden than a help in that regard. Other than that, I can't say I know of any mercenary groups around, though I'm sure there are better people to ask than myself. There's another tidbit I think I should mention. I've heard that Tyrannor's been partially seal up, at least insofar as they aren't letting people leave without passports, which I imagine will be difficult to obtain. I'm thinking of calling in for an excavations expert, to smuggle people out of the city, and possibly pull some jailbreaks and the like, if necessary."
#25 turalisj Sep 02, 2008 12:26:17	Ailuth nodded as they walked. Yes, I heard the White Ravens as we left. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they practice some form of blade magic or at the very least get their name from one of the founding schools. It doesn't suprise me that father ticked off the Church of Pelor, he isn't exactly the most religous person in the multiverse. Behind her, Jeeves could be heard writing something in a rather large tome.
#26 redhase Sep 02, 2008 16:19:33	After looking around abit, Zern stops here to check out these people. Zern looks at them for a while, then still in a shadow, "Interesting I though this Island had very few living on it."
#27 captainshar Sep 02, 2008 18:41:57	We're here now! Twinkle exclaims. Ooh, more people.
#28 redhase Sep 03, 2008 4:36:40	Zern in the shdows says this to the group, "First i would like to know who you are? The second question is are you followers of the king of Trannor? If you support the king tell me now and I will leave."
#29 turalisj Sep 03, 2008 4:38:11	ooc: Which group? The Council or Ailuth and Mordred's group which is headed to them?
#30 redhase Sep 03, 2008 5:15:34	The counsel of mages.
#31 von_crown Sep 06, 2008 3:08:09	(Presumably some arriving happens) "And here we are. So then, I imagine some amount of planning is in order, yes? I've got my eye on a spot already, for my own residence. But that's irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I know we'll each be having our own constructions to our various tastes, but then presumably we'll also have a common meeting place, yes? And of course, we'll need somewhere to keep our funds. I also think it would be wise to have areas where talks can occur without fear of watching eyes... Perhaps the main meeting hall, or some other location, could be secured against scrying?"
#32 turalisj Sep 06, 2008 3:57:11	Tibur finished writing in the tome, bringing it over to Mordred. The plan is for a large plains area. The walls are going to be built completly out of hewn stone, a small feat when using magic to create everything. The fortress itself will have a single basement level which will house storage and prisoners. The first floor will be a mixture of combat training, meeting halls and dormatories (barracks) for apprentice level students. The second floor will contain the living quarters of the higher ranked students, various nonteaching staff (myself excluded of course) and a library. The third floor will contain the bath for the masters and a seperate room for each, with M'lady recieving her own room. I have plans also for freestanding walls to encompass a hundred feet around the fortress. However, for that, we will need to see what funds are remaining. He blinked, tilting his head slightly. What? I took ranks in Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering).
#33 von_crown Sep 06, 2008 4:22:55	"It looks sufficient. I had planned on building a tower here-" He indicates an area on the plans "Since there's a nice convergence of ley-lines and a level one rift zone there. It's quite nice for my purposes, weak rift zones are common enough when you know how to find them, but rarely are there that many nice natural conduits leading into them. I could use the power from the ley-lines, over time, to improve the condition of the rift zone. So it'll be nice that my tower and the school will be close enough together..." He grins over at Ailuth, then addresses the other mages. "Miss Ailuth has decided to build a school of martial arts in our new city. I assume there will be no objections?"
#34 turalisj Sep 06, 2008 4:50:31	Oh great, a bunch of brainless brutes. Well I'm so sorry father that I'm continuing the training that has been in our family, training you had no muscle for. Ailuth said, rolling her eyes. But yes, I do plan on building a martial academy. To do so, however, I may need some assistance from the council mages. My father, with his current state, excluded of course. I'll post up the complete schematics soon... The cost would come to about 335,000gp, that's including discounts from spells.
#35 redhase Sep 06, 2008 8:19:56	Zern Say to them again," I thought this island was had few living on it. First I would like to know who you are? The second question is are you followers of the king of Trannor? If you support the king tell me now and I will leave" Yes there are spells to prevent scyring Mostly: wards 4 9th level and scrying hawk 6th or 7th level both fr spells.
#36 aramar_the_black Sep 06, 2008 9:44:49	"I have no objections. And, though it is nothing personal, assistance from myself will be limited." Aramar turns and looks at Zern, through the shadows. "You would have been right a week ago. We are maesters who manipulate the many fundamental forces of the multiverse. And what would you do if we did not follow the king?"
#37 redhase Sep 06, 2008 19:25:50	Zern lokos at them, "If you support not the king of trannor then I would ask to join what every this group is, since your group has changed its mind about the king of trannor. To me if you can manipulate the many fundamental forces of the multiverse, then you are wizards and sorcerers. Maybe even the counsel of archmages, or the arcane association. the question is witch group are then?"
#38 von_crown Sep 07, 2008 3:26:49	"Hah, got it in one go. We are, indeed, the Council of Archmages. In the interest of reviving our declining organization, we've decided to relocate, and start a city. We were originally planning on being overall neutral towards the king, but honestly, none of our members seem to be anything but against him. Though I have considered paying him a visit... I do think that would be interesting." Mordred grins mischievously. "If the information I've received is correct, then I may have a more immediate goal than him, however."
#39 turalisj Sep 07, 2008 3:42:25	And what information would that be? Ailuth inquired. In the mean time, we should start setting up atleast a tent camp for those who came over on boat. If we can get a way of sneaking back into Tyrannor, we can bring more people over until only those who truly seek to be ruled by a necromancer remain.
#40 von_crown Sep 07, 2008 4:08:05	"I've already made arrangements for an agent from my homeland to come to assist in helping people escape from Tyrannor. As for the information I've got... Let me say I've taken it upon myself to monitor my own kind... There are standards I hold them to when I come across them, standards which they are unfortunately often unwilling to meet... In which case they must be dealt with. Though I will possibly not be able to do so personally, unfortunately. I am relatively confident, however, that with some assistance from the council the situation can be dealt with. And this would of course weaken 'his majesty'."
#41 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 07, 2008 13:15:29	Orcy would like to take a moment to adress some metagaming that is going on here. First off, Von Crown, Orcy is going to have to ask you to stop sharing information Modred cannot possibly know IC. In fact, Mordred can do nothing IC, this includes casting spells, building things, or any number of other various thing that might come up. Being that he is not level 15. So in that regards, Orcy wants you all to completely ignore any metagamed information that you have been given, for example, the 'race' and whatnot of some of Sargatanas' followers. Once again. Mordred can do NOTHING but talk, and he CANNOT deliver information that the others would not have access to. Indeed... should Mordred start casting a spell or saying something that he cannot... Orcy wants you to imagine a big green guy with a club.
#42 redhase Sep 07, 2008 13:44:07	That being said by orcy the green wounder, witch is a good point. Zern lokks them over, " Than any plans you might have, have any of you been to Trannor city or the docks recently, I have. I tell you it is not good. Shar will not be pleased when she is back. Then it is allright if I join your merry little band. I have my home in the shadows"
#43 turalisj Sep 07, 2008 15:16:07	Mordred, could you perhaps go back and edit that stuff out so Orcy doesn't come in here with his club? Please? My head still hurts from the last time he used it.
#44 von_crown Sep 08, 2008 21:33:05	Ahem, I don't want to make a big scene, so I'll try to be calm an respectful. I did, at no point, mention any names. I'll now bring a quote as to what exactly I referred. However, there are wanted posters about the city looking for a vampire... I believe his name is Thaspian Worgfellow I assume that if there were wanted pictures around the city, it can be considered easily accessible information to any who've been there. From there it's merely a point of assumption to guess that there's a connection between said vampire and Sargatanas, but I don't think it's an assumption that stretches the limits of plausibility. As to building things, would it be acceptable to act as an NPC with an average modifier to Craft(Masonry) checks, and charge said average amount? I hardly think that's unfair. Lastly, to be totally clear, I do apologize if, after taking that into account, it's still going too far. I suppose I may have overstepped in assuming the validity of the claim to those wanted poster's existence. Though it does seem to me that if those wanted posters didn't exist, it seems to me a circumstance penalty on that bluff check of the large variety would have seemed logical, since he was talking to Ra'nel'ek (Apologies if I misspelled that).
#45 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 08, 2008 22:01:50	Orcy has seen nothing of Mordred looking over posters or anything of the sort. He has seen mordred in two different places at once. As well, he believes he has seen Modred discussing things that the OTHER mordred was seeing and knew about. This sort of thing is what Orcy does NOT want. No does Orcy want Mordred traveling places and doing things that he really shouldn't be able to then coming back and telling others what he has found. Orcy has seen many of these things done, some recent, some in the past, and he does not wish to see a repeat. There is an obvious opportunity and an obvious temptation to metagame and the like... Orcy just wishes to make sure this does not happen.
#46 von_crown Sep 09, 2008 2:01:11	It will be ceased. In any event, as I have statted characters whose arrival is yet impending, Mordred will likely see less activity, likely mostly staying around the Council and possibly occasionally visiting the Seafarers or somesuch. I do have a few questions as to if some minor things would or wouldn't be okay, which I imagine I'll send along in a pm eventually (obviously before taking any actions).
#47 redhase Sep 12, 2008 14:37:16	Zern will move closer to Ailuth in the shadows of course. The two can carry this further if you want to Turalisj. "It would not be wise to try anything at this moment, seeing how the city gates are locked down, and none can leave with out a passport, by this king of Trannor. Witch will be hard to get by the way if you ask me. Unless one can move freely through the shadows and bring one back with you, or teleport the people out one by one." Zern says to Ailuth from the shadow.
#48 turalisj Sep 20, 2008 23:33:44	We have ways of entering the city. Even then, my warriors and I should be a match for any undead that come in our way.
#49 redhase Sep 20, 2008 23:59:03	" You won't get any help from the sea guild, The king had the acting guild master taken to the palace. From what I seen not many return the same, this women might support the king when she comes back, if she comes back at all. The snake thing said that a new guild master would be appointed in her place, one that will see the kings ways. I would not expect any help from the sea guild, with this new guild master. any ship that tries to enter the harbor that isn't approved by this king might be held. especaly the captain. Who knows maybe by now Jamnie is back as the guild master, but not the same one that left. She proubaly sees things the kings ways. I know I just came from the docks, and listen from the shadows." he says to him. "You do know the city gates are all locked down and no one can leave with out a pass port from this king. Unless one can travel by other ways. You might have to fight your way all the way from the sea guild, then through the city. Also Many were turned back and heared back into the city from the docks by force. By the way I am Zern, I thank a new memebr of this guild."
#50 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 26, 2008 14:43:16	A large creature circles in the skies overhead. A draconic form, with a large wingspan but no apparent front claws or limbs save for it's wings. A long, barbed tail trails from it's backend. The creature swoops down, coming to land and roaring. It looks towards the mages that are gathered as a man drops from it's back, approaching the group. The man is clad in varying shades of white and black. A mask covering the lower portion of his face, the cloth pulled around his mouth and nose and the upper portion covered mostly by pointed, conical hat made from what appears to be some sort of wood, covered over with a thin layer making it smooth. A large blade rests over his back, a number of rings set into the flat edge of the weapon. He stops before the group and presses his hands together, bowing. "Greetings magi. I am Arioch, Master of the White Ravens. Might we speak?"
#51 turalisj Sep 26, 2008 14:49:21	Ailuth walked forward, flanked on her left by Jeeves. Indeed, I was going to attempt to contact you sometime. Have you any news of the Mainland? She returned the bow with a nod, while Jeeves gazed at the dragon.
#52 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 26, 2008 15:15:44	Arioch turns toward Ailuth and dips his head forward to the woman. He shakes his head, looking over his shoulder toward the direction that he had come. "No. It has been a long ride here, I am awaiting what my people might be able to tell me about the goings on in the city. When last I had heard, they were allowing a wagon to leave the city's confines. It would seem that the place is not entirely shut down. What is it you wished to contact me about miss....?"
#53 redhase Sep 26, 2008 15:19:02	Zern being close will make himself somewhat visibile, gives the man for the White Ravens a bow. Then say to him, "I am Zern Master Aioch then tis good to meet one of your people".
#54 turalisj Sep 26, 2008 15:30:29	Arioch turns toward Ailuth and dips his head forward to the woman. He shakes his head, looking over his shoulder toward the direction that he had come. "No. It has been a long ride here, I am awaiting what my people might be able to tell me about the goings on in the city. When last I had heard, they were allowing a wagon to leave the city's confines. It would seem that the place is not entirely shut down. What is it you wished to contact me about miss....?" I am aiming to start a school for the martially inclinded. To do so, I seek to gather those who have mastered the nine paths that make the Sublime Way. I ask you, have you interest in becoming an instructor at the future academy?
#55 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 26, 2008 15:43:09	Arioch dips his head in greeting to the shadowy form of Zern, more visible than might be elsewhere given that they are currently outdoors and not within any deep shadows. "A strange thing to speak of in such times, but I suppose I would be willing when time permits. In fact, my people are currently taking residence in a place that appears to have once been a military academy, dedicated to the various schools. At the moment however, there are more perssing issues. An evil resides within the city of tyrannor, a corrupt and powerful force that seeks to overwhelm and conquer to spread it's 'unity' to the world. I have heard that you oppose the current rule within the city, and I seek to forge an alliance if you do indeed. The white ravens will not sit idle and watch as evil runs rampant throughout the world. What say you?"
#56 turalisj Sep 26, 2008 15:49:18	I say the city of Tyrannor needs to come under new management. I was there for only a short while, but while I was there the entire city stunk of rotting flesh. But the question is, how do we go about it? It seems unlikely that the current ruler will give up his throne peacefully. Those who gain power never seemt to want give it up.
#57 redhase Sep 26, 2008 17:26:16	Zern having the ability to controll shadows will step back and darken the shadow aro0und him, "So the question is then how can we help each other then to free the city and it's inhabtints." Zern wil move to another shadow area close by.
#58 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 27, 2008 0:03:51	"If I have your support in this matter, I will begin developing a plan immediately. My suggestion would be for you and your magi to research spells that might have greater effect on the undead. Many spells that work with the light of the sun seem to do greater harm to the walking dead. Spells of disintigration as well may be a must to prepare..." The man begins to pace back and forth as he speaks. Waving his hand infront of him as he goes on with the developing plan. "If there are a few who have been or can get into the city and study areas enough to give us a good focus for teleportation, that would be helpful as well. A teleportation Circle would be the best for my intentions. We cannot hope to win if we are to assault the city's gates themselves, but if we can get inside without touching the gates we have a chance. The king is a powerful death magi, so it would be best if we have some sort of protection against the energies he and his minions weild..."
#59 turalisj Sep 27, 2008 0:15:14	Ailuth nodded. I nor none of my followers are magi, however there may be some among the council who can help. My butler, Jeeves, is skilled in stealth tactics and is a member of the Order of the Shadow Sun, his talents may prove usefull for the initial assault. ooc: I don't think anyone next to Red and myself actualy has a good aligned character statted up that is in the Council... And even then, Ailuth isn't even a spellcaster.
#60 von_crown Sep 27, 2008 0:27:03	Mordred looks up from going over some papers "It would seem that an agent from my homeland has been deployed to the city. Arioch, you say? I do dislike the current ruler, from what I have heard, though I would still like to question the reasons of those who would oppose him. If you could consider it appeasing the curiosity of an eccentric mage, perhaps?"
#61 turalisj Sep 27, 2008 0:33:42	A necromancer in charge with delusions that killing people is 'unifying' them. Simple as that. Oh, and I have some form of disgust whenever I hear of him. No one asked you father.
#62 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 27, 2008 0:52:06	"Though the 'king' is quite mad and his intentions of Unity seem to be that it comes at any cost, I do not believe that he seeks to make ALL undead. Still, he is a madman and must be stopped, destroyed along with his servants. The current ruler is a mad, vile tyrant. I have seen one world destroyed, ended by such madness, and I will not watch another fall. This world may not be mine, but if those who have the power to defend it do not, then who will?"
#63 von_crown Sep 27, 2008 1:12:54	Mordred grins. "A good answer. My agent in the city goes by the name Khasshus Anova. Due to security protocols, I have no way of contacting him currently, but if you find him and tell him your task, I'm certain he should side with you." Mordred hands the newcomer a small parchment with a depiction of Khasshus (Specifically, a depiction of how he dresses... Since that'd be what to look for).
#64 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 27, 2008 1:56:22	Arioch takes the parchment and looks it over, commiting it to memory. He tucks the parchment away within his jacket and nods to Mordred. "I will keep this in mind. But, if I am to prepare a proper plan, I must know what each of you are capable of and what you have at your disposal. I will tell you that I am not only a master swordsman but my skill without a weapon is great as well. I am a warrior, I fight and it is what I am good at. I live by the blade and know that eventually I must die by it, but while I yet live I will do all that I can with my skills. Tell me, what skills do you weild?"
#65 von_crown Sep 27, 2008 2:05:13	"I, unfortunately, cannot aid you directly. I could, perhaps, bring you assistance from my homeland, if there are any available and interested who you might accept."
#66 turalisj Sep 27, 2008 10:51:45	Ailuth nodded. I am a master swordsman myself, as well as having the knowledge of generations of elves at my aide. She motioned to the glowing orb that floated next to her. Jeeves here is trained in the ways of the Shadow Hand and the Setting Sun and can sneak in and out of a building before anyone would have spotted him.
#67 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 27, 2008 15:18:49	Arioch nods, adjusting the large sword at his back. He continues to pace, a hand stroking the outside of his mask over his chin. He comes to a stop, nodding slowly. "Jeeves may be needed in seeking out a place to enter the city, or the castle as is preferable. Though without the ability to cast magics, I am not sure how he might be able to relay such information to one who can. Likely, you will be heading in first along with myself Ailuth, to clear a path once we have found a way into the city. Are there any other... magi here within this council...?"
#68 redhase Sep 27, 2008 19:35:38	"Just me who can help a magi of shadow, Jeeves could give me the information. Then I could give it to who ever, or see what is going on my self also along with Jeeves." zern says to them.
#69 von_crown Sep 27, 2008 21:50:55	"I don't know that getting into the city will be a problem. And if you're successful, getting out shouldn't be too bad, either. If not, well, you likely have worse worries. Like being dead."
#70 turalisj Sep 27, 2008 21:58:15	Jeeves gave a slight cough. Well, then I guess I should be glad I already am... Dead that is. Been that way for oh.... A couple hundred years now. I can enter the city under the guise as seeking an alliance with the king with Zern as my 'advisor'. If we are successfull, that will mean I can relay information on how many 'soldiers' are in the city, what defensive measures are prepared, and possibly provide misinformation.
#71 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 28, 2008 1:15:01	"Individuals entering the city and an army entering the city are two different things. If we are to wrest the city from the hands of it's necromantic master, we will need an army. Preferably within the walls of the castle itself. In this way we can take hold of it's borders and keep the majority of the city's foces outside of the castle's yards. We will make them seige their own castle to stop us, and if they manage to get through it would be far too late. If we are to win this battle however we will need magi... I had hoped that this council would have more than a single true magi amongst it that could act."
#72 turalisj Sep 28, 2008 1:27:48	We have had a lull in activity recently. While I would gladly help, the powers that be have bound me to either remain within the confines of where ever the Council sets up shop or pass on... And most of my powers have been stripped at that. Sufficient to say, I'm in no place to help. In the same case, the greater powers of the land have bound some of the stronger members into inaction.
#73 redhase Sep 28, 2008 15:39:33	"So it seems I am the only mage here that can help you then. Jeeves I'm thinking about your plan, I was in the city and the docks already. I'll just say they had a hard time seeing me. So then Master Arioch what do you think of the plan? Do you know of any other magi organaztions that might see things the way we do?" Artimas says from the shadows.
#74 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 28, 2008 16:14:07	Arioch raises a finger and nods slowly. "Yes... I think I've an idea." He turns and looks out over the waters. Folding his arms behind his back he dips his head in thought, the hat upon it covering his face completely. "I have heard tell of magi that have taken up residence in your old territories... as well as warrior-magi born of your schools as well. The children of war and the Arcane Association. I would leave which organization we contact to you, as I believe there is a bit of history with both."
#75 redhase Sep 28, 2008 16:38:05	"Then do speak Master Arioch if this plan can help in some way. I have no proublem with going to the Arcane Assocation and seeing their views. As for the Children of War I do remember meeting some, Not really sire on their view of this king. They didn't really express them, they did seem to lets say not have a kind of trust for me the last time I meet one of them." Zern says to both of them.
#76 von_crown Sep 28, 2008 22:51:33	"I agree that it would be different to bring an army into the city. I'm not a fool; I merely meant that it could certainly be possible to get an army in without needing magic. Specifically, you send in smallish groups over time, as civilians. Then, once you've got all of your army in that way, you give them the signal and it really begins. Not necessarily a lightning fast plan, true, but I've found it to be effective in the past. Admittedly, getting them into the castle is another matter, but I'm sure that with proper planning, it might be accomplished. Perhaps if you can get the lord to leave the castle with his stronger guard members, then force your way in before they get back. Jeeves, you might be very useful for that."
#77 redhase Sep 29, 2008 2:55:19	"Hum Thats not a bad idea, about sending in small amounts at a time. Maybe the ships could help this in some ways, Or have a small force on a ship or ships and use attack that way also. The force would have to take back the sea guild from the kings forces that are there. Witch will have to be done any way." Zern says, "just saying what has to be done maybe, if you take the castle and not any other places in the city or around the city. The king can gather more forces from the jungle, and he has a ship to bring them to the city. There might need to be some kind of inbetween forces for the king to worry about, just saying."
#78 captainshar Sep 29, 2008 19:39:33	I'm here! The ice mephit looks up from her work on a new snowflake pattern. I have a tank! We can go anywhere in it.
#79 turalisj Sep 29, 2008 19:58:40	Zik looked over. Well, if it isn't the resident snow-machine. Where ya been?
#80 captainshar Sep 29, 2008 20:02:40	Teaching my kitty how to tell me secrets. Why are we going to the city? Do you need any snow?
#81 turalisj Sep 29, 2008 20:12:18	Zik smiled. Hmm... Can you bring large number of people into the city without anyone noticing? There is a bunch of bad men in the city, they want to kill many people. If we can get many people into the city, we can put these bad men away.
#82 bookmen Sep 29, 2008 21:21:12	(OOC: Don't forget that the bad guys hate snow. They hate it with a passion. In fact they want to melt all the snow.;) :P )
#83 turalisj Sep 29, 2008 21:41:37	ooc: But that would be metagaming, and I don't feel like having Zik whacked by Orcy's club.
#84 orcy_the_green_wonder Sep 30, 2008 15:08:06	Arioch listens to the others and sighs. He brings a hand up to rub at his forehead, shaking it back and forth. "Perhaps this was a bad idea. My intent is not to sneak in and whittle away at these creatures. They are undead, they are by their very nature expendable to a necromacner. I also HIGHLY doubt that we can talk an ancient necromancer into leaving the saftey of his castle. My intent is to strike quickly, and cut off the head so that they cannot bring more of their foul kind into the world. Be assured that if we simply try to take the city without killing the necromancer, he will simply make more from our dead. We must know what the current situation in the city is, as well we must know what these foes of ours have at their disposal. This will by no means be easy, there are soldiers within the city as well as the castle. But we MUST take the necromancer before we fight his armies. I'll not sit by and see my people risen as undead because we decided to take it slow and take bits of the city at a time. If you cannot agree, I will go elsewhere."
#85 turalisj Sep 30, 2008 15:51:25	I, atleast, have no intention of 'whittling away' at the undead within the city. Jeeves will infiltrate the city and send us, by way of the shadowmancer, information on guards, the castle defenses, and the like. When he has done so the strongest out of us will infiltrate the castle by way of Zern. Once that is done we can hold the castle by bringing more men in. Once that is done, we take out the necromancer. We will need to distract the guards, perhaps with a disturbance within the city. Mordred, can your agent within the city create a big enough distraction? Assuming the worst and we do end up having to fight the guards, we will have to have a few tricks on our side. She turned to the man with the wierd hat. Sound good so far?
#86 redhase Sep 30, 2008 16:10:30	"Then lets see what the city is doing then, whlie we make our greetings then after I can go speak to the Arcane assocation. If this is agreable. Wait for a time to attack, maybe to find out what is going on in the city. Then find a way to bring out this king then and attack him. what is important is find out about the city so a plan can be formed. I am not saying take a lot of time Master Arioch, but find out who the kings underlings are in this short time. and make a plan because my people's learder would have his support by him at all times." Zern tells them. "And no idon't think you are wasting your time in any way. I think alook around the city first is needed."
#87 redhase Oct 01, 2008 16:06:44	zern takes out a tile [far sight] and breaks it, he begins to look at the dock of trannor first. "Jeeves, Arioch come have a look at this. Things are differnet in the city now. The shadow not going to hurt you" Zern scryies around seeing the docks and what is happening there.
#88 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 01, 2008 18:54:13	Arioch approaches, a scowl crossing over his face at the image of the massive Skeletal dragon on the docks. He watches people flee from the creature. "This... is terrible. The monster has turned his own upon the people it seems. We must act quickly... someone must travel to the city and learn all that we can. If the people are in immediate danger, then I would suggest that we act to save them, even if it means a quick strike to allow them to escape the city before retreat."
#89 redhase Oct 02, 2008 2:52:10	Zerns going to look at the skelton dragon and the dead dragon and the people around the dock buildings, He then switches to the city. He looks around at the dead fighting each other all over the city and the priests fighting the dead[ in different areas first], then try to find Gorad. If Zern does find Gorad he focus on him then reads his mind for 1 round, Gorad gets a will save as per the second part of the spell after the first round [truth revealed]. "I agree let me look around the city first to see what is happing there first before we act, but the people at the docks are in trouble with that skelton dragon stoping them. I believe a quick strike is needed.." Spot check 22
#90 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 02, 2008 9:00:09	((Zern would need to make a spot check to find Gorad, as well... Zern does not have the 'Truth Revealed' Mystery.))
#91 captainshar Oct 03, 2008 21:18:53	Let's go let's go! Stop talking, the people are getting trapped!

#93 aramar_the_black Oct 04, 2008 15:10:52	I have CoA threads 2-8. I think I only the latest library thread; but the libraries only ever built on each other; no material has been lost. I don't think that I have the role-playing games; I never bothered to think about it, and we've never had any links. And...I seem unable to access the archive...
#94 turalisj Oct 04, 2008 18:18:32	Let's go let's go! Stop talking, the people are getting trapped! Then lets stop talking and get moving. Ailuth turned to the shadow-mage. How many people can you bring with you at a time? The more we bring to the city the better. She turned to Jeeves. I'll be needing the black-crystal for this. The kobold nodded, reaching into a leather bag at his side and tossing a jet-black crystal to Ailuth. She grabbed the handle of her blade, attaching the crystal to a socket.
#95 redhase Oct 04, 2008 22:21:28	"I can take my self only, Yes the city does need snow. The dragon needs to feel your snow magic to help free the ones traped." Zern says. It depends on how big twinkle is, he might be able to take both of them to the docks if she is small. Since I didn't find any size, height, or weight for twinkle on the character thread.
#96 turalisj Oct 04, 2008 22:27:19	Last I checked, Twinkle was a Snow/Ice mephit, which are small.
#97 redhase Oct 04, 2008 22:42:27	Then Twinkle could get on his shoulders and he could use his shadovar shadow ability to take both of them there. The docks I mean. Edit: Sardal spot check; 30 I think that spot check makes it. Zern will read her mind for 1 round then. I do know I don't get a second roll on the same character, I think a 22 is not enough to make the roll.
#98 turalisj Oct 04, 2008 22:48:58	The problem then is getting there for everyone else. Ailuth and Jeeves could take the ship there, but it would take 3 days.
#99 redhase Oct 04, 2008 22:52:50	Zern could be there in 1 round. Pleas Orcy do let me know what Sardal thoughs are, I know they will be hazey for the 1st round.
#100 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 04, 2008 22:58:47	Zern cannot see Sardal.
#101 redhase Oct 04, 2008 23:31:47	"Then twinkle if you want to go to the city, then you can come with me. We can be there instanly if you want to come along with me." Zern says Twinkle the ice mephit. "we could play spell tag with the dragon." I do think that Arioch could be faster than the ship, or have his people send their forces there in say hours, to help? maybe.
#102 sculyblast Oct 05, 2008 5:20:13	I have CoA threads 2-8. I think I only the latest library thread; but the libraries only ever built on each other; no material has been lost. I don't think that I have the role-playing games; I never bothered to think about it, and we've never had any links. And...I seem unable to access the archive... Ey Aramar, I pmed you the keys to the Gmail Archive... please feel free to share them with whoever you feel fit. I also noticed that the last rpg thread, "renegate [sic] Archmages" is not yet archived. please archive it: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-298304.html%3Cbr%20/t-847021.html I don't seem to be able to find the thread: The Archmages spellbook, which discussed spells out of the CoA library, maybe this initiative should be recreated to get a new inflow of members. I also have no clue what happened to the conscientia threads though. well, I hope that will be my 2 cents for this thread. Sculy, or Quarius Shadowage, Former Zenith Archmage of Shadow magic
#103 redhase Oct 05, 2008 14:36:03	Zern still holding the spell watches the city as the fires and the skeletons begain ther march. 21 "I do think we need to hurry"
#104 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 05, 2008 15:02:42	"Unfortunately this council of archmages has few archmages to assist us. Otherwise we might be able to get there in time. As it is, there is little we can do without some means of instant or near instant transportation. But without that, how can we manage to get there and help them? I've no means of doing so... one of the reasons I came here to speak with this council."
#105 turalisj Oct 05, 2008 18:23:41	Zik sighed. Yes, the council has been in decline for a bit. Most of our more powerfull members come back maybe once a decade. The last time I saw our original council leader was... How many years now? The reasoning behind our relocation was to restore membership and renew interest in the Council. Even at that, there are the beings which govern the land that bind those who wield powerfull magic into a lesser form or prevent them from interfering with 'lesser' matters altogether.
#106 captainshar Oct 05, 2008 22:31:10	Can't we buy spells? That's what I do when I want to cast one I don't know. i.e., anyone think it's reasonable we could buy a scroll of teleportation?
#107 turalisj Oct 06, 2008 1:06:36	Don't ask me... Neither Ailuth nor Jeeves would be capable of casting it in either case. Anyone else think we should pressure Aramar into making a CoA character :D
#108 redhase Oct 06, 2008 2:52:50	"So what do you want to do twinkle, go help in the city right now and wait for the others. The rest of you would have to travel by ship then. Or I can go to the island of mists and have a talk with the mages there." Zern says to them. yes why not have Aramar a 15 level character.
#109 captainshar Oct 06, 2008 10:56:22	Zern can go buy us a scroll! Then we can all come!
#110 redhase Oct 06, 2008 14:44:35	"Then I'll go to glens shop , I'll need donations to help pay for the scroll, or two scrolls. Unless your going to have your ship meet us there at the dock, incase one scroll will be needed then." Zern says to them. Cost for teleportation circle at 75% is 3,618gp for glenn. for one scroll. cost for one scroll is 4,825gp dmg
#111 captainshar Oct 07, 2008 12:56:44	IF other people pitch in, Twinkle will give 1,000 gp.
#112 turalisj Oct 07, 2008 14:07:38	Wait a sec... Red, what is your means of transportation? All of the Ebon Roads mysteries allow you to take yourself+ a number of people equal to your caster level.
#113 redhase Oct 07, 2008 15:18:42	Zern does not use the ebon paths, he uses his shadovar racial abilities to travel the shadows. Artimas uses the ebon shadow paths.
#114 captainshar Oct 08, 2008 18:47:31	You take too long. I'll ride my lobster. A few minutes later, the clank-clank of the Apparatus of Kwalish sounds, tinkling into the distance.
#115 turalisj Oct 08, 2008 19:19:59	Jeeves walked towards Twinkle. Would there be enough room for 2 in that contraption? I'd prefer to get there as soon as possible.
#116 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 09, 2008 0:05:11	Arioch turns away from the archmages, heading toward the Wyvern. He does not appear pleased in the least as he climbs upon the creature's back. "How can none in the council of archmages have transportation spells! How did you manage to get here if you have no magic with which to travel? I will fly there myself and pray that I can make it in time to do any good for those people, but I doubt that I will."
#117 lady_rolindin Oct 10, 2008 5:41:45	The Raven's Song arrives near the island, seeing the other ship Fi' rua orders a closer look. crow nest spot check 31 Once the message is passed down its the Elven wingship that took people from the trannor docks. Fi'rua seems more at ease, then orders to get closer to the ship. Once the Raven Song is closer to the ship. She'll send a crew member over to go talk to a ships personal, by boat.

I will fly there myself and pray that I can make it in time to do any good for those people, but I doubt that I will." [INDENT][/INDENT]Zik sighed, rubbing his temple with his free hand (which went right through his head, of course). As I said, limitations have been placed on the council members. Most, meaning about three quarters, of the Council either checks in very rarely or don't want to bother themselves with the silly little squables that go on in a day to day basis. We got here because our current Council Head, Aramar, used a power teleportation spell. HOWEVER, he is not here at the moment. Infact, I haven't seen him around since we re-located.
#119 orcy_the_green_wonder Oct 10, 2008 15:16:13	"Silly little squabbles? People are dying, people are being attacked and their homes are being burnt! I do not consider that a silly little squabble. Good luck with your doings magi." Arioch nudges the creature below him and it takes to the air, flying upwards and turning toward tyrannor. The creature beats it's wings and rockets off away from the island, Arioch crouched low toward it's back.
#120 aramar_the_black Oct 10, 2008 15:48:46	Where Arioch once stood, an unidentifiable fleshy mass appears. The bloody organs quiver for a moment, and then the thing turns upon itself strangely, and suddenly the pale half-elf called Aramar stands in its place. He shakes his head vigorously, and then looks up to the departing Arioch. "Hmm..he and I should really compare dictionaries someday. People die all the time, after all, and people get attacked quite often. Those are silly little squabbles. However, entropy is something much bigger to a person of my nature, and so I do feel some annoyance at the whole "homes being burnt" bit." He turns to Zik. "No offense, friend, but you memory seems to have gone with your body. I was not the one who brought you all here. I could have, but lady Rayne was plenty eager. Remember the giant sneeze?"
#121 redhase Oct 10, 2008 15:59:09	"Then those that can help will try, such as I. it would help to get more wizard members who can help" Zern then uses his shadovar ability and goes to the docks of trannor.

#123 lady_rolindin Oct 10, 2008 20:48:06	a crew member says, "Ahoy Captain Firua sends her regards." to those on the ship deck.
#124 captainshar Oct 11, 2008 22:25:03	There is room for two in the Apparatus.
#125 NightScreamer20 Oct 11, 2008 23:55:12	Rayne yawns and wanders around the corner into the an area full of people wiping her eyes sleepily. "So wait... who needs a lift to Tyrannor? I AM a Mage you know! I mean who in this council of arch'MAGES' can't teleport?" Rayne giggles to herself at the thought.
#126 turalisj Oct 12, 2008 0:28:52	Zik looked over, a smile appearing on his face as he vainly attempted to keep himself from laughing. You know, you could have spoke up earlier. Might have saved us some trouble. We need... 4? 5 people teleported to Tyrannor Proper? He shrugged. Eithere way, I'm going to go look for a cavern that I can convert to a lab. I might be reduced to a spirit, but that wont stop me from merging a de....erm, maybe if it's best if I not say. Nice timing NS :D
#127 NightScreamer20 Oct 12, 2008 19:26:53	Rayne appears slightly puzzled. "If I remember correctly we left Tyrannor in order to escape the grasps of the Undead King... Now suddenly we wish to give up building our new home in order to take leave BACK to the Necropolis? I'm confused."

"Sorry for disappearing without mention, I was asked to save some idiot nobles from the latest horrors spawned from the far realms. So, I think I just heard someone mentioning a big battle? Where is it and how many need destroying?"
#130 captainshar Oct 18, 2008 20:11:26	In Tyarannor, at least there was a little bit ago.

Stil close to the island about a quarter mile from the shore. The crew begains to dive on the wreck there. might as well start here, then move on to the reefs next. 35 6
#132 turalisj Oct 30, 2008 17:42:20	Rayne appears slightly puzzled. "If I remember correctly we left Tyrannor in order to escape the grasps of the Undead King... Now suddenly we wish to give up building our new home in order to take leave BACK to the Necropolis? I'm confused." Yes, we are. It appears there is a chaos in Tyrannor. We are going to go there to take advantage of said chaos of bring down the king. Now, if we are done chatting... Ailuth drew the bastard sword from it's sheath and made a quick flourish with it. Let's get to the part where we bash a few skeletons, eh?
#133 lady_rolindin Oct 31, 2008 1:32:59	when the crew is done the anchor is weighed and the raven song moves away. Once at the five eye reefs the ship is ancored away from the reefs there, the row boats with crews are taken closer to the ship below. they dive on the wreck this way. 35 another good one 5 I haven't forgot about the other wreck, next stop. Then else where to go talk to someone.
#134 lady_rolindin Nov 06, 2008 20:48:36	After finishing with the wreck at te five eye reefs the ship is prepared to leave then a course is set away from the reefs heading towards the mainland.
#135 turalisj Nov 09, 2008 21:03:14	Nightscreamer, it's been nearly a month since you last posted. I know I'm the last one to say this, but GET YER BUTT OVER HERE SO WE CAN CONTINUE
#136 turalisj Nov 11, 2008 20:12:58	Ailuth turned to Jeeves, disgust on her face. Well Mr. Jeeves, since the Council seems to be slow to take action, we must move ourselves. Ready the ship to set sail, we are to head to Tyrannor Proper. She turned to Rayne. When you finally decide to move, we'll be on our way to the Mainland. Setting sail for Tyrannor Proper at maximum speed. ETA 3 days.
#137 NightScreamer20 Nov 13, 2008 12:44:05	Rayne looks stunned and an expression of shock covers her face. "Oh god... here it comes!" She spazzes a bit. "Every...body... take... COVEEERRRR!" And with that she lets out an explosive sneeze engulfing everyone nearby in a a fiery wrath, and when the flames are gone there is nothing left of her only the spot where she stood is free of ash and smoke. ((*Casting* an Empowered Fireball and a Quickened Teleport to Tyrannor Proper)) Everyone within 20 ft of Rayne takes 60 fire damage; Reflex DC 20 for half.
#138 turalisj Nov 13, 2008 14:13:49	ooc: Ailuth nor Jeeves are there, they already set sail. Infact, they should be arriving any moment.
#139 bookmen Nov 13, 2008 14:53:09	((*Casting* an Empowered Fireball and a Quickened Teleport to Tyrannor Proper)) Everyone within 20 ft of Rayne takes 60 fire damage; Reflex DC 20 for half. (OOC: lolz)
#140 NightScreamer20 Nov 15, 2008 1:57:45	((Oh and for some fanciful reason everyone gets a Silk Rainbow Hankerchief))
#141 captainshar Nov 15, 2008 18:36:10	Won't bother to post ref. saves for Twinkle; she can create ice and heal herself. She is now disgusted with Rayne's use of fire. Trundles away in her little lobsterboat.
#142 aramar_the_black Jan 07, 2009 22:13:32	Greeting fellow archmages! If you can spare a recluse such as myself but a few moments, I have a favor to ask. I have been redesigning the arcane casting classes (well, all the classes, actually), and will be granting wizards some sort of school-related bonus at given levels. Example: Evocation: Spells that manipulate energy or create something from nothing. An evocation specialist is called an evoker. Evokers gain a +2 bonus to counter evocation spells and have the following abilities. Powerful Elements (Ex): At 1st level, whenever the evoker casts an evocation spell that deals damage, it deals additional damage equal to ½ his caster level. This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray. This damage is of the same type as the spell. Energy Substitution: At 4th level, the evoker gains the Energy Substitution feat. Spell Power (Ex): At 10th level, the evoker increases the damage cap of all his evocation spells by one die. Lasting Energy (Ex): At 16th level, any creature that fails its save against one of the evoker’s evocation spells takes damage again 1 round later equal to half the damage it took when the evoker cast the spell. Note that these abilites all directly affect the evoker's spells or how he casts them. There will be no extra (Sp) or (Su) abilities, such as an energy blast or energy resistance, becuase such abilities will be saved for the Evoker/Warmage/Energy Mage Core Class. Now, what I would like to ask of all you intelligent souls: I am having trouble coming up with 1st level abilities for the Transmuter specialization and the Enchantment specialization. Have you any suggestions or ideas? Thanks greatly, Aramar the Black Archmage of Ice, Council Archivist, Headmaster of Conscientia
