I don't think so, Colossus.  And you can let her go, while you're at it."  She was dredging her memories for what this creature might be - the word "Goldblum" popped into her head, but that didn't explain anything.<br/><br/>Shooting first might not be sporting... but there seemed no reason not to get in a bit more preparation.  Pausing a moment to try to focus herself, and with her hand itching for her<em>own</em>bow, Rayne  recited the necessary chant of a<em>haste</em>spell.  To her gratification, the familiar energy surged through her, and even her armour didn't prevent it from "sticking".  She felt zipppy!  She glanced at Sylvia with a wink - it should have affected that elf, too.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC and rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Oops (again), forgot my armor check penalty when rolling to cast <em>shield</em>.  I'll claim the concentration check was so high she earned the pass.  :-)<br/><br/>Knowledge (Planes): 1d20a2 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=91560)<br/>Sense Motive: 1d20 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=91561)<br/>Concentration: 1d20 DC: 22 Result: 16 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=91562) + 10 (forgot to add the bonus!) = 26 yay!<br/>Arcane spell failure: 1d100 Result: 32 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=91563) &gt;15%, yay!<br/></div></div>
