Back to the Future II, Track II - No McFly's here Options

[Lady Door]

Morgana sighs. It's like getting visions from Bahamut, it really is. For a moment, she eyes the cards suspiciously and then slips them back into their velvet bag. Holding them by the drawstring, she moves back to the bookshelf. Placing her pack and her cards on the desk, she surveys the bookshelf again. This time, she takes a look at the shelf and the books themselves.
Perception Test

Perception: Step 6 (-1 Wnd Mod.) Step 5, d10, Result: 8

[fistandantilus4....]

It takes a while of searching. By now the dogs on the othe side of the door are quiet. They growl occassionally, just to remind the occupants that they're still there.

Eventually ,Morgana finds a book with a seal on it similar to the "paper weight" in appearance. The libram is titled " The Head of the Pack".

[Lady Door]

This looks promising. Morgana opens the book carefully, and scans the first few pages.

[fistandantilus4....]

The text is indeed helpful. It is essentially the enchanting formula the wizard used to create an item he calls "The Head of the Pack". It is a small statuette in the shape of a hounds head, created to control canines. Specifically, it is geared to be especially effective in controlling Gate Hounds.

[ Spoiler ]

Among other things the book contains all the key knowledge needed to bind threads to the item.

[Lady Door]

Morgana's eyes shoot open. I've found it. Give me some time and I should be able to get us out of here. Morgana looks up in excitement, then in confusion when she sees Ralo perched holding a book sideways, his eyes wide.
Ralo... what are you reading?

[Grinder]

You.... you don't want to know. It's about Zoaks. With many illustrations. Very interesting. Sort of.

Puzzled by the knowledge he gained (knowledge that windling is not supposed to know) Ralo closes the book.

How much time do you need? I'm not sure if I can stand the knowledge of another book, he says with a big grin.

[Lady Door]

Morgana simply raises an eyebrow and brushes the comment aside.
I said... I think I might have found a way out of here. This paperweight She holds it up. isn't a paperweight... or at least not only a paperweight. It's a powerful thread item that allows you to control the Gate Hounds. All I have to do is weave the threads to it and then I should be able to get us out of here. Soka?

[Grinder]

Ralo sighes. That will take a long time.

Mind you if I close my eyes while you're doing it? Alex can watch the door alone, I'm sure.

[Lady Door]

Morgana nods and looks to Alex.
Keep watch for us. We should be safe from them for now. It will take me roughly an hour to bind this statuette. After that, we can see about getting the hell out of her.
Morgana returns her attention the figurine in her lap, eyeing it's pattern carefully.
Breathing deeply, Morgana calms her breathing and slows her heartbeat. When she's finally ready, she begins the threadweaving.
GM Note

Not sure on what I'm supposed to roll. Help. :)

[fistandantilus4....]

[ Spoiler ]

Roll thread weaving test against the objects spell resistance.
Since you have the Key Knowledge in a handy little book (which I'll list in a bit in the OOC thread), and everyone has the Threadweaving talent, any one in the group can bond the item.

Threadweaving Test

[ Spoiler ]

Threadweaving: Rank 2, Step 8 (-1 Wnd Mod.) 7, 1d12, Result: 10

[fistandantilus4....]

Morgana attempts weaving the threads in to the Head, finding it suprisingly difficult. After the first hour, she is unable to successfully bind it.

Ralo would be fast asleep, if her weren't so hungry.

[ Spoiler ]

Try again :)

[Lady Door]

Morgana frowns in frustration and begins the threadweaving test again, this time pushing all she can of her energy into forming the weave.

Threadweaving Test

Threadweaving: Rank 2, Step 8 (-1 Wnd Mod) 7, 1d12, 8 (+1 pt. karma, d6, 5 Total: 13

GM Note:

[ Spoiler ]

Character has enough LP's to learn all 4 key knowledges.

[Grinder]

While Morgana tries to weave a thread to the hound's head, Ralo first tries to sleep, but he is too hungry for it.

Hey Alex, care for a game of dice? Or do you have something to eat? My dear, I would even listen to a story. Maybe one about you and your life before you ended in an old citadel that is inhabitated by magic-draining dogs.

[fistandantilus4....]

With increasing frustration, Morganna pushes and pulls and tucks and weaves the threads every which way. The thing is put together in a very quirky way. Almsot like the magician used his own version of short hand. Perhaps it's the bits of Beastmaster magic woven in, or just the human's own slightly crazed mind. Finally however, she gets the thread in place, forming the bond.

[Lady Door]

A test of the owner's control? In a humorous or dangerous way? How could I...?... Morgana looks up at the bored looking chew toy. Bingo.
Morgana glances up at Ralo once her weaving is completed. She has a wicked grin on her face and an open book in her lap.
Ralo... you're pretty quick, right? She gets up and sets the book down on the desk and fumbles around in her pack for a moment. When she pulls her hand back out, she's holding a small length of twine.
and you want to get out of here, right? Go get some food? Find a place to sleep? Morgana's voice is lilting and pleasant...for a moment Ralo doesn't notice that she's getting closer.

[Grinder]

Yes, yes and yes.

Ralo gets up in the air. You know a way out of here? Finally! I was getting really annoyed in the last minutes.

[Lady Door]

Well.... Morgana stands below him. Could you come down here... it hurts my neck to always be looking up at you. She smiles sweetly.

[fistandantilus4....]

Morgana's eyes narrow. This is for the good of the group, Ralo. You'll thank me for this later.
Morgana fumbles in her bag for a moment and then turns around quickly, her canteen open and splashing a gush of water across Ralo... and his wings.

[fistandantilus4....]

Roll missle or throwing weapons, which ever you have, factoring in the minus due to taunt.
