It was tough. The final battles were brutal yet we survived because everyone did his part and did it well, playing to his or her strengths. Rogar did a lot of damage and was lucky as hell with rolls (didn't say anything before because I didn't want to jinx it! XD) but even so he would have accomplished nothing without support, starting with Ursahla's gift of a folio reroll on that initial failed will save.</p>
<p>Also I feel I need to thank GM Cwethan for all of his hard work. Sometimes when I play I try to look at things from a GM propspective and this looked like a very complex scenario to run while keeping tabs on everything going on with the PCs. GM Cwethan managed to do that in an excellent fashion while also creating a thrilling narrative, I'm not sure I could have done as much.</p>
<p>So, let me repeat myself: thanks everyone! This was truly a splendid game!</p>I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who take part in this game. It was tough.

<p>Did the caster automatically make the required check to identify the spell effect on the assassin that they are trying to dispel?</p>
<p>In order to target an individual spell with dispel magic, you have to specifically name the spell effect.
