Page 1235 - Attack By Logic

Tangents are neat ways to cleanse the palate if they’re brief and don’t demand an extremely broad set of skills that a full party would have access to. …But honestly, there’s nothing I can say to justify how little I resist going on tangents. In fact, this one time* in Fallout is Dragons…

*Every time. It was every time.

Sandbar (AJ): So right now we’d have to use a regular messenger to inform anyone important, and, assuming that they even believed us, by the time they got here it might be too late.
Ocellus (TS): At the risk of metagaming… Everything about this is screaming “We have to save the world ourselves.”
Silverstream (PP): I mean… Is that news?
Smolder (RT): I don’t think we knew how high the stakes were until now.
Sandbar (AJ): Hold on… It’s a magical spell that steals and banishes all magic in the world? Does that include itself?
DM: Are you really going to try and “gotcha” this thing with a paradox that I can just explain away?
Sandbar (AJ): …Well, here’s a valid question: What’s powering it? A magnet has to have a charge, right?
DM: Better. There are six ancient magical artifacts – probably stolen from the School – just within the perimeter of the circle, feeding energy into the orb. You also remember that Neighsay had a magical amulet that was still working. It seems that “artifact magic” will be among the last to go.
Yona (FS): Maybe we could use that if we get it off him?
Gallus (RD): Oooh, Sleight of Hand, huh? You might need help with that… Sounds like a great time to GET US OUT OF HERE!
DM: I sort of agree. This tangent’s gone on long enough.
Sandbar (AJ): Heh. Coming from you…
DM: Yeah, yeah, I know.
