Echoes of Egypt OOC

And, as is not always the case, the Character and Player are both unaware of the timer...

Wow Kesslan! Congratz to your parents, that is really impressive!

Stampede: I can't remember, but either way, you will have time to summon a spirit; that takes a matter of seconds. Whether or not you want to is a reasonable question to consider...

Ok before I do sth. stupid because of rule unawarness: I can summon a spirit and send it to it's home plane until needed, right? So, as long as it's on his home plane it's not easily detected by magic guards or other spirits patroling? It can be detected the moment it appears of course...

It depends somewhat on what kind of security they have. Technically speaking, that's not really true. It will leave a magical residue of it's actions while on this plane. If you send it away immediately, that does limit the amount of residue it can leave, but it won't be nothing. Also, the link between you and the spirit will be traceable through your aura. Of course, your aura is blocked by the box, but if they can find the magical residue of the summoning and of the spirit while it is here, you could be traced that way as well.
Again, this stuff is not simple stuff, magically speaking, and requires an initiate who specializes in that sort of thing. But there is no guarantee that we aren't up against a magician like that. On the other hand, they are highly rare, considering, and it is unlikely.

So, in answer to your question, no. That is not the case. But it will limit the potential for exposure.
Or you could just do the summoning in the heat of battle.

also our other mage I believe has 2 bound spirits in play, so if back ground count hasnt exploded yet then I say go for it.

So far the spirits are not with me they are on stand by, it will take a simple action to call the 2 water elementals and another to call the air elemental.

That is 2 force 2 water elementals (Bond) and
1 force 3 air elemental

Background count shouldn't be an issue yet, since Sca is an indeterminately large distance from us in the boxes... That won't be affected at all.

Ok folks, I'm going to see about getting a GM post up either Saturday or Sunday, as I need to go over a few things and see where everyone is at before throwing up said post. I'll also see what I can do about throwing up some crapptastic map for everyone.

Ok, so working up the post, had to note something here:

Astral vision:
Astral perception does not see through walls, a wall in the astral plane blocks your view same as in normal perception. So if your stuck in a box you cant see what's outside of it anyway, unless your using astral projection, which is an entirely different beast altogether as at that point your entirely on the astral realm and not on the physical.

La la la waiting for the next phase ;-)

Ok, wanted to see if those outside the boxes were going to do anything, but apparently not so I'll get the next GM post up later tonight.

Is there a specific reason why noone is posting?

Thanks for the reminder Stampa; I hadn't realized that the latest GM post was up. Shame on me. I will put something together today and post in!

Getting rather used to it to be honest, which is why I was looking at possibly just junking this whole run and doing something else. This site is really really bad for people flaking out on games.

Hey, I appologised... And it looks like we have paired down the team to some people who are (currently) posting fairly regularly.

Sorry I dont know really when Will was going or anything i know she is out side the fence waiting i didnt know if i should post or wait
