DM: You hear the Scriptomancer walk off down the hallway. Oosh: I'll sneak into his study. DM: Are you sure you want to do that? Oosh: Yep! DM: You're in the Scriptomancer's study. As a strong believer in shared learnings, he hasn't locked the door. Oosh: Awesome! I'll grab his spellbook. DM: You grab his spellbook. There's a whole heap of original spells in here, the one at the front is quite long. Oosh: Cool! I'll add some words to it to make it better. DM: *Raises an eyebrow* Are you really sure you want to do that? Make an Arcana check. Oosh: It's an 11. That's better than average, right? DM: After your Int mod is applied, no. No it is not. You failed to improve the spell, but you did manage to draw a few dicks in the margin. Oosh: I'm happy with this outcome. DM: You hear footsteps coming back down the hall towards the study. Oosh: Uh oh! Can I roll stealth now? DM: What for? Oosh: To hide! DM: Where? Oosh: Behind the spellbook? DM: *sigh* I guess this will be easier if I just let you roll. Go on, then. Oosh: I rolled a one. That's good isn't it? Ziechael said it's the best number. DM: The Scriptomancer walks straight up to you and snatches your 'hiding place' from your filthy hobbit hands. Oosh: I dive under the table. Can I make a saving throw? DM: What? Why? The Scriptomancer isn't attacking you.... yet. But you are now under the table. By the way, this would have been a better hiding place than behind a book you were holding. Oosh: Oh. What's the Scriptomancer doing now? DM: Well he doesn't look impressed. He's shaking his head and mumbling something about 'not what the damned spell is for'... Oosh: I shout "Francesco made me do it" and hide. Can I roll stealth again? > Oosh has been kicked from the game. > Connection lost, attempting to reconnect...
