[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Betimi]

Seeing that the matter of whether the dwarf is slain, left alone, or joins them is settled, Betimi returns to what she was doing
  she places the magical MW dagger before her, takes the wand of divination magic, focuses on the dagger and speaks the command word.

" COGNOSCO!"


UMD [1d20+6] = 18+6 = 24

[OoC: I had to look this up because even though you know the command word you don't even have a spell list for Identify to be on.  But you can activate it by emulating a Class feature.  So the initial DC is 20 and subsequent DC's are 18.  It would be safer letting Simon use the wand since Identify is on his spell list and he's higher level than you.  (Edit: Actually this might go by the wand's caster level.  I will have to check.)

So you succeeded but you still need to make a Level Check with a +5 bonus from the anti-torque wand.]

[OoC2: Betimi has heard of Marthammor Duin.  He is the young, neutral good dwarven god of wanderers and patron of dwarves who had left the clanholds to explore the world. He was also known as Finder-of-Trails, Watcher over Wanderers and the Watchful Eye, and was sometimes considered to be an exarch of Moradin. ]

[OoC we didn't actually know it was a wand of Identify, only that pointing it at the pond had no effect. So we suspected.]

Torque check [1d20+9] = 8+9 = 17
