Pfft. The guard are nothing. Lets seem him do that to a Dragoon.

As I understand it, most mages can sense areas of high / low magical potency. Red Mages, drawing their power from the life-force of others (directly via the blood) would most likely be able to sense other people by that means. Of course, the question is whether they can tell the difference between a Human and an animal, or whether lone individuals or small groups can pass under the radar, so to speak.

You know, having read Rav's describtion of enmeshing metal, I'm not sure I want to know how silk is enmeshed.

Normally it requires a loom, a mage, and a magickal substance to be woven through the fabric substrate.

Shaya's Bulwark, however, is rather more special.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Bagsy me not enmeshing anything again!

[InsaneTD]

You're not a mage. Unless this red is your new PC? In which case, I would be worried if a red mage was needed to enmesh something.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

I suppose it depends WHAT needs enmeshing as to what kind of mage would do the job. Still, I dont recommend it. Jan'us was tired for quite a while after that whole thing.

Double posting to avoid spamming the Enclave.

So who are we to send to meet with the assassins? My vote would come down between Oan and Tybalt. Te staff should be taken if we send Oan, as it wouldnt be classed as a weapon in the hands of a non mage. If we send Tybalt, we have to hope that there wont be any Quetus Runes to dampen his abilities as he wont be able to take his rifle or a sword.

On reflection, Oan is probably the one to sacrif-. . .send. . .

[Scout Sergeant Mkoll]

I think regardless of who goes they shouldn't be unarmed. A mage is never without weapons, why should we disadvantage ourselves when we neither know nor trust the person we're meeting or the person arranging it?

[Mabbz]

I'll lend a dagger or two to whoever goes. As for who goes, I suggest Zothern. He knows as much as Oan or Tybalt, and he's basically a spare character once Jayne takes control of his new one. Besides, a guard is less valuable than a runesmith or a ranger as far as I'm concerned.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Arent assassins somewhat honourable though? Nil mortificare sine lucre and all that? They need Kraytor out the way because he is causing them issues of some kind. They said send the one who was closest to Ja'nus, which wasnt Zothern.

As for being armed, one on one, or one on however many are there, which one of us other than Rehd could take on a master assassin even with a couple of daggers at hand.

We know magick can be stopped, we know there are kinds of magick in Cyven that we have never encountered, and we know that these people are VERY dangerous.

[Wargamer]

Rehd's always got at least one dagger on hand.

[InsaneTD]

2 points:

1, Tybalt can't use a mage staff.
2, He can send up a flare if he needs rescued. Anyone else we send would have to get back to us before we know they are in trouble.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Unless they use something to supress magic. You need it, they dont.

[InsaneTD]

Which we would sense before hand or as it went up, either would be a sure sign I'd probably need rescued or that it was a trap.
