Bah, I should have saved the log of the event. It would have shown what happened better; but then again it may have given away what I did.

I teleport to an ally in Rockholm and soon after Daevos, Imadis, Silvanus, and others walk into the room. Deavos notices me and razes my shield. I immediately use a skill in illusions and poof they do not see me. They walk off, so then I come out of the illusion and shield. They almost immediately walk back in and Daevos razes my shield again. I promptly use the illusion again and sit tight.

While in the room was able to watch and listen to them discuss and prepare ways to kill me. I see one person prepare his hangman tarot. Another person uses Carcer to make sure that I can not immediately escape the room. More than one person casts scry and use search to try to discover my location. Daevos says something along the lines that I turned myself into a statue, while Silvanus disagrees because he does not see my statue anywhere. Silvanus gives the opinion that I must have left the room and used my cubix (One can only use the cubix or prism in outside areas). I got to sit there and watch all of this action going on, while they were trying to figure out if I were still there or not. That was just a great experience all around.

Serves them right for not having a Geomancer to dispell you.
Shiri2005-02-26 20:40:11
Despite Silvanus being a geomancer.

Despite Geb for being Trans illusions, while I'm only virtuoso.

And the thing is, when you walk into the room, you see the "A humanoid-figure is here in the form of a statue." When its not there, it usually means they are not there.
Ceres2005-02-26 20:50:17
You don't see that.
Silvanus2005-02-26 20:51:01

Does nature work in Southgard?

Syntax: WEAVE NATURE
In any outdoor, non-urban or road location, you can weave a glamour around yourself that would fool nature itself. This will place you out-of-phase with reality and, though you won't be able to do anything, it is particularly useful as a means of hiding or spying on others.
Geb2005-02-26 20:57:14
The best way to find out is to test and see. I sometimes just sit around for hours testing my skills to see exactly what I can and can not do with them.

Also test different areas in a place. Just because the top area is urban, does not mean the mines are considered urban.
Silvanus2005-02-26 20:57:44
I know, but I'm just wondering, since Imdar Circle is indoors and it says Imdar Circle (Road) I figured you couldn't weave nature there.

I do not remember us being on a road. The location I remember was down in the mines.
Silvanus2005-02-26 21:01:32
You were in Imdar Circle. It was indoors, so you shouldn've had been able to do it anyways.

Post the log please, or have someone else post it. I am sure I was not on a road. If I were, I would have used statue.
Silvanus2005-02-26 21:03:22
But you had to use statue, because we were indoors.

We were in a mine. That is a bit different than indoors.
Shiri2005-02-26 21:05:44
Is it? :/ It's not OUTdoors.
Geb2005-02-26 21:09:45
It is not out in the open, but it is outdoors. I do not consider a mine being indoors, do you?
Manjanaia2005-02-26 21:11:14
Well its not out in the open. It is inside.
