<br/>Elia, while cleaning herself up carefully in front of the room's sole mirror (she seemed perfectly happy to swab every bit of cum with her fingertips and then lick and suck it off) and tying up her blouse again (after emptying her received coins from it), told Kass, "sure!". The man seemed to insist on her waiting a minute to leave the room after he had, before she slipped out herself.<br/><br/>After studying the offending spell with the monocle, Kass also realized it had, like Firion and Leila themselves had had, an illusory guise to obscure its magic aura; detecting magic, she would recognize that the magic aura was due to a spell - in fact, an instance of the spell cast onto each of the nine pages - meant to magically hide or encode the true text.<br/><br/>Aria, meanwhile, sliced open the stitching closing the hidden compartment. Several paper notes and a badly tarnished silver locket slipped out; Aria began reading them, and mused, "Huh....purely sentimental as far as I can tell, some girl writing love-notes to Firion, the diction teenagerish and the ink years faded." She flipped open the locket - nonmagical, like the notes - and found an interior much less ravaged by time than the silver exterior. One half showed a fine miniature painting of some ash-blonde lass, the other of a recognizable younger (and yet still - or rather already - white-haired!) Firion.<br/><br/>The door opened again, by the hand of a buxom redhead in the same white blouse and black skirt as Elia's, carrying perhaps twenty-five winters on her face and a tray of several green salads, mutton roasts, and wine jacks in her hands.<br/><br/><br/>You could deslot the RoNL (would cost an amount = to its normal value, since deslotting doubles price) and combine them (no add'll cost; slotness subsumes multiple-different-abilities). Mechanically, if you're making things slotless there's no reason to combine them (unless it's the type of item where you can only 'physically' wear one like boots) vs just having a slotless ring + a slotless stone (the stones are slotless), but OTOH there's little downside either (only downside would be if you later wanted to sell or share one).<br/><br/>Kass makes Will save using identify, and using detect magic, recognizes Secret Page (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/secretPage.htm) cast on each page of the 'Gate'.
