RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Betimi - 08-16-2020
Betimi tells Ning/Nang to leave the gems in the walls alone, no telling what would happen if they tamper with ley lines.
She asks for Nang to use the ant-Torque wand on her. Then she will test the command word COGNOSCO! with the divination wand, stepping about 20 feet away from the party and aiming at the pond.
Use Magic Device [1d20+6] = 14+6 = 20
Nothing happens...
"There could be several reasons for it to fail," Simon says, "Either you failed your attempt or you targeted the wrong object. For example, magic missile needs to target a creature. A cure wand also needs to target a creature but it's a touch spell. Just to be completely transparent, I also know how to activate magic items on the fly." [Simon has UMD 10] "It's kind of like a double-edged sword because the Torque can only blow you up if you succeed in using the wand but the UMD can blow you up if you fail."
RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-16-2020
Can UMD be used to trigger a wand when we don't know the command word? To figure out the command word?

[I don't think UMD uses a Password, does it? You just try to activate it using a Skill rather than a command word.]
RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-16-2020
In that case Ningalu will get his brother to use the anti-Torque wand on first Betimi, then himself and he will test the enchantment wand, then the illusion wand. (Beguilers have almost all Enchantment + Illusion spells in their list.
UMD [1d20+6] = 4+6 = 10 fail.. what happens

Nang, the hand, is gone.
RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-16-2020
I was flying, at least while looking at the gems, as stated in my prior post. How did he not sense the hand disappearing, since the flight relies on it.

I didn't say you fell. I said, Nang is gone...
RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-16-2020
The first thing Ning does is mentally reach out, "Nangalu, you there?"
If there is no respnse he calls out loud in Draconic "Nangalu, where have you gone? Are you okay?"

~Yes,~ Nang replies mentally. ~Where else would I be?~ Ning feels the embedded tail wiggle a little under his scales, like he would feel when Nang gave a wave at someone.
RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-17-2020
Ning looks at the rest of the party.
"He's still here, I hear him in my mind."
