That was quick. My juror panel was dismissed within three hours of us showing up, so I have normal availability this week. Just a note for when we get back on track, Invisible Castle is currently down. Is there a preferred secondary dice roller?

[Reminder]

I really don't use online rollers that much, so whatever you find will work.

[Csjarrat]

Rolz.org is ok

[Reminder]

I'm not sure  what has happened with Ren

[JackVII]

Me either. He's a very regular poster who participates in other PbPs. He hasn't been on at all since the 16th. I am hoping nothing serious.

Do you want to auto-pilot him for now?

ETA: If you don't want to autopilot two characters, Csjarrat doesn't have much to do right now and it sounds like Frenchy is player-less at the moment.

[Reminder]

If he's not in by tomorrow. I am giving him a chance since he is probably the most combatty of you left, so I was trying not to auto him through this section due to that fact.

And to avoid playing more or less with myself (pun not intended).

[Ren]

Sorry, i got sick pretty badly, but i'm back now. I'll check where we are and reply in a few minutes.

[JackVII]

Welcome back man, glad you're okay!

[Reminder]

which spirit? Or should I just assume the one closer to you.

[Ren]

The one that just tried to scare me, of course
(For one, it is the one that attacked me. For two, it is the clear target.)

[JackVII]

Mwindaji definitely needs that Ares Victory Big Game Hunter armor from the Run & Gun Preview.

[Reminder]

I am travelling extensively for the job over the next 8 days, and my laptop crashed, so I am shall be posting from a mobile device. Update should be up soon, but posting is going to be a bit irregular.

[JackVII]

Sorry to hear about your laptop, Reminder. Thanks for the head's up.

ETA: Not sure if it would help, but if you just want to post the mechanical stuff in the OOC, we can probably incorporate the actions into our own posts. IC posts tend to be more lengthy and time-consuming, which seems like it would be problematic for the moment.

[JackVII]

Of course they are dual natured, so any mana spells could be used on their astral forms at no penalty (illusion spells are easier to resist astrally though)

I had a question about this. I was reading through the rules on Mana Illusion spells. It says that a successful assensing test basically resists the spell.
Q1: Is there a threshold? There isn't one mentioned, but the assensing table lists a threshold of 2 to determine the type of spell effect something is.
Q2: Is this reactive or would the spirits have to actually take a Simple Action to assense in order to resist the spell? That might actually be just as valuable.

[Ren]

As you don't have to spend an action to determine about an aura that it is a spell, i think it is a pretty obvious situation: a new aura appeared and you suddenly start to see things - must be an illusion. I'd probably allow at least a new resistance test.

Unfortunately i didn't find the assensing reference you quoted in the book so i don't know what game developers might have wanted.
