Shanosuke's The Sorcerers Bravo Team Edition (Inactive)
Game Master Shanosuke

The combination of the appearance and almost violent encounter with the large armored man, Yalm's grandson, and his all to clear lack of faith in Yalm coupled with very strong recommendations that they leave is almost the straw that breaks Ashley's back.

Although she moves inside with the others and sits at the table her movements are stiff and wooden and her eyes are as wide open as they can be. It's pretty clear to anyone looking at her that she is freaking out and barely holding her s#$+ together.

She makes no sound as she stiffly sits, her eyes merely darting wildly back from one person to another.

In the awkward silence that follows, Terry walks into the cottage and sits down, glowering. Not the first time I've been insulted by a jock--probably not the last, either. Maybe that's why it hit Ashley so hard...no one's ever dissed her like that.

"All right. Looks like at least half the battle is going to be convincing people that we're for real. Fine, we'll deal. But before that, I'd like a little convincing myself. Not of what you can do...of what we can do. You say we've got this great potential. I don't feel it, though. I don't think any of us do. So." He sits back in his chair. "Where do we start?" He looks expectantly at Yalm, thinking Let me guess..."It's not that simple. You don't know what you're asking."

Trenton seeing the argument can't help but feel anger. It reminded him of his own family troubles...He then shrugs and mutters under his breath"Prick" and then follows everyone else in. Before he takes a seat he silently squeezes Ashley's shoulder gently, she seemed on edge after the outburst freom the nephew, she could use some encouragemtn and if they were all that was going to stand infront of this...Xivasar..they would all have to stand together.

When he takes his seat he listens to Terry's questions and nods agreeing with him before looking to Yalm for an answer.

Yalm takes a heavy sigh. "If you are eager to learn your purpose then? You can stay down her and eat with Leorn, just follow me when you are ready." Yalm stands up and heads to a door in the next room over. You see him disappear into the room.

You can follow or stay and eat.
You must confer with your fellows on which action you want to take. Follow Yalm or stay and eat with Leorn. Talk with each other and decide as a whole. Once you have all decided, read the correlating spoiler and roleplay your responses to it. Do not jump the gun please

Ashley smiles gratefully at Trent for his kind and desperately needed support. Using some breathing exercises she finally begins to calm herself down. When Yalm makes his offer, a part of herself tells her 'Ok girl, this is it, decision time. The choice to jump with Yalm to this world was kind of a crazy one. Everything was so fast, and unreal, and captivating. But if you get up to follow him in there, you better be 100% sure you are committed to what he wants you to do'

Releasing a big pent up sigh, she relaxes even more. She is clearly still not all the way at ease however. As much as she wishes to consult with her fellow Pathfinders, even more, she first wants to hear from the person here who knows Yalm the best. "Leorn...I...know I, we, hardly know you, but, well, you know Yalm far better than we do. Please, I need to know truly from you, what kind of man is he? Can, should, we trust him completely in all he tells us? Why is it that you follow him and have stayed with him so long?"

From the tone in Ashley's voice and the earnest look on her face it clear that the young elf's answer is very important to her.

Terry looks around the table. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I want answers more than food. (No offense meant, Leorn.) If Yalm is right, we don't have a lot of time. But you asked the right question, Ashley, and I'll wait for that answer."

Leorn looks confused. "Of course you should trust him! He saved me and my brother when we where just kids from a horrible battle. He has cared for us ever since. He also spent years raising his grandson Alexander after his parents died due to Xivasar's tyranny. Yalm has spent the last two decades trying to find a way to fight against Xivasar. He is the most dedicated and caring man I have ever met in the whole world! I mean. What more do you want to know?"

Trenton who had watched Yalm walk away, turns and listens to Leorn speak and then nods. Thinking over the past few days and then says slowly."I think...that Yalm has put a lot of trust in us. For us to turn away from that well we shouldn't have gone with him in the first place if we hadn't intended to go all the way before. Look I don't know about you all...but I want to make sure i am worthy of all of this Yalm has placed on our shoulders. So...with that said...I'll be upstairs." Trenton pushes himself away from the table and makes his way to the stairs looking back over his shoulder once to grin at the rest. "I mean hell look around you. Isn't this place worth saving?" He then looks away and makes his own way upstairs.

Ashley takes in the words of her friends and is moved by the ernestness of Leorn. She wants to ask about the young elf's brother but she knows there'll be time for the later.

Mainly she is focusing on the strange feeling welling inside of her. It's not a bad feeling, just, different. Something she has never experienced before. As the feeling continues to get stronger she begins to realize what it is. It is the sense of her Destiny reaching out to her that she is feeling. A sense of her connection to something larger than herself. Of her place in the scheme if things. She begins to feel the Ashley she was, the Ashley she has always been, begin to fade away. This is it, this is what she has secretly always wanted. The chance to create herself anew, by her own rules.

Standing up, her shoulders firm as she says "Yes, I'm ready. Let's find out what we're here for."

Terry listens to Leorn, nodding in agreement every now and then. Kind of figured...Yalm seems like a straight-up guy, even if he has no idea how to handle his grandson. As Trenton and Ashley stand, he does likewise, carefully pushing his chair back in. "Thank you for your honesty, Leorn. Reg? Let's go. We do this together." Ashley's right...Yalm can talk all he wants, but we need to see for ourselves.

He smiles suddenly. "But the first person to start singing, 'We're off to see the Wizard!' gets Gibbs-smacked!"

I wonder if Reg has been effected by the recent flooding I know I am missing a player in two games im in due to it, ie 4+ days no post

Over in the discussion thread he said he lived in Virginia USA, so yeah, he's probably still w/o access. I think a hurricane is a pretty good excuse for not posting. Ashley, did you catch any of it?

We are on the brink of the point of no replacements. I will keep his character around but if I have not heard from him by Monday, I will assume to NPC him. He won't be the same after that. So let's all hope and pray or however you ask for fortuitous favors, that Reggy is just a bit set back and okay.

Begin mass praying

Passed the point of replacements so I will have to NPC him and cross my fingers he will show up.

Reggy agrees with you all. You all tromp to the tower. Yalm is there as described in the spoiler above. He looks at you. "Are you all ready to receive your powers?"

I need one more yes out of each of you. Be ready, this will be a massive post.

Not encouraged by the wizard's sudden seeming lack of interest, Ashley, feeling more than a little nervous, has nevertheless firmed herself to this decision. "Yes, I am ready."

Too late to back out now...we're halfway up the side of the building already, and the only ways down are the long drop or at the top. Unable to keep a slight quaver from his voice, Terry replies, "A-as ready as I'll ever be." Damn, I hope I can learn how to fly!

Sorry about disappearing, but I'm not gone. Weekends are usually kinda packed for me, for future reference.

Reginald listens carefully to Leorn's reply, and decides that the elf is talking earnestly. After all, there's no reason for him to lie about that or anything. Reginald agrees to going upstairs.

Inside the foreboding room, Reginald visibly pales at the heavy and serious atmosphere in the room. He gulps down his fear and replies to Yalm, "Y..Y..." He steadies himself, then says, "Yes, I'm ready for it." He has a look of almost grim determination as he prepares himself for whatever is coming next.

Phew. Its just your last post was last Wednesday. I kinda started to fear the worst. Glad your still with us. Good news for you is that will not be able to replace your character ever. Just know that I will try and move the group along daily. So if you cant post, at least keep up on the reading is what I recommend. :)

I am sure Trent will say yes also.

Yalm nods. ”Then approach the alter here and touch the stone that you feel most draw too.”

Each of you examine the stones. Each of the stones are different colors, blue, red, brown, and green. As you look closely one of the stones will glow for each of you.
For Ashley the red stone seems to beckon for you.
For Terry, you feel the green stone pulling you to it
For Trent, the blue stone is very alluring
And finally, for Reggy, the brown stone is calling to you.

Each of you go up and place a hand on the stones you feel most drawn to. Yalm starts an incantation. The window shutters slam shut and the candles in the room go out. All four stones are now visibly glowing. In the center of the alter there is a large white stone that is also glowing. Yalm is chanting as he walks up to the white stone. He has what looks like a strange crystal shard. Yalm raises the knife shaped shard above the white stone and plunges it into the rock. The rock flashes and soon a red liquid like blood begins to pour out from the bottom of the white stone into four small canals. Each leading your each of your stones. Once the liquid reaches your stones, a strange whispy essence evaporates and quickly engulfs each of you. At this point you need not hold onto the stone. You can feel the glowing essence fill into your nostrils, mouth, ears, and all other pours and openings into your bodys. The strange essence peels your clothing away leaving each of you naked on the floor. You feel extremely cold for about a moment but you can feel something at work inside of you. You can feel a noticeable change in your system. The room is completely dark at this point. Suddenly you all feel extremely good, much like you would in the heated moments of intimacy with a beloved partner. The release is overwhelmingly orgasmic and you soon realize that you have power. The essence works through your system a little more before bursting forth in another whispy cloud. This time it is the color of your element. Before you know it, the element engulfs you once more, providing even more comfort, almost as if it has clothed you. Suddenly you realize light has returned to the room and all of you are sitting in the four corners of the alter. You all feel real good right now. You look around at your friends to see what has happened.

After you all have looked each other over, Yalm speaks up. ”You have now fused with the bloodlines of each element. This is only the beginning. You still need to learn how to use magic. There are a few spells your should be able to perform instinctively. Feel free to go outside and experiment. Also you might want to consider some other training. Kellmanor is not an easy world to simply move about in. Leorn knows many classes and could teach you many things. I was hoping Alexander would also teach you things but you can see why that is no longer possible. Now, how do you feel?”

You can now add the Elemental Bloodline Sorcerer to your gesalt list. Also, I am actually going to allow you to REPLACE the expert class with another class if you can find someone to train you in it. The next chapter will have plenty of opportunity for that. Lastly, You will at some point gain boodline powers for the other bloodlines mention earlier, Stormborn, infernal, and the like and also the powers of the elemental genies too. This is a high caliber campaign. Also you add another 10 point buy to your ability modifiers. Enjoy the bonuses and be sure to post your reactions to what just happened. I really can’t wait to see how you all respond to all this. Oh and ask questions if you don’t understand something okay.

Still a little fuzzy on this gestalt thing haha. And when did you mention other bloodline powers haha? Do you add them to the elementalist ones or replace them? Will post reaction when I have little more time, at college computer waiting on brother to get out of class haha

Didn't quite understand all the upcoming additions to bloodlines and such but I trust that at the appropriate time you'll make it all clear. If I understand correctly, all we are doing at the moment is adding the Elemental Bloodline to our Sorcerer list and 10 more points worth of abilities, yes?

Before the ritual, Reginald looks to the brown stone immediately before the other stones, and just knows that this is the one he is tied to. He hesitates as he places his hand on the stone, feeling its perfectly smooth sufaces with his outstretched hand and revelling at its beauty. Yalm commanding voice booms, and Reginald is startled by the simultaneous noise of the shutters and sudden darknes, though he does not lift his hand. It feels attached to the stone, like he couldn't let go of it even if he wanted to.

Reginald watches intensely as Yalm slowly walks to the altar, his heart feeling like it will beat right out of his chest. He gasps as Yalm stabs into the altar, and blood pours forth from the crystal. He tries to bring his hand away from the altar as the blood approaches his stone, yet it still seems attached, as if its glued onto the crystal. When the blood reaches his crystal, he watches helpless as a sort of thick mist comes out of it and surrounds him. Reginald feels a slightly burning, tingling sensation all over his entire body as the mistiness envelops him, his clothing disintegrating as the sensation increases quickly in power. His hand flies suddenly off the altar and he collapses to the floor with a shudder.

Reggy lies still for a moment, his heart beating faster than it ever has and his mind racing to figure out what's going on. He feels something welling up from his abdomen, growing into a wonderful ecstasy that courses throughout his entire being. He stays silent, his eyes closed, as this incredible feeling overwhelms him, a feeling unlike anything else. He feels power, raw power, coursing through his veins, filling him to the brim.

Reginald opens his eyes slightly to barely see the mist rising from himself and the other teenagers, their naked figures visible only as vague outlines in the dark and mist-shrouded room. It seems like a dream, an awesome dream, and Reginald feels completely content. The mist starts to thicken and take a shape, and Reggy closes his eyes again. He sits in that moment for what feels like an eternity, relishing in that wonderful feeling that's slowly drifting away. His heart aches for the feeling to stay, but it steadily streams out of him.

Reginald opens his eyes again, realizing that the room is now lit. He looks first to Terry, surprised at his new clothing and the shocking changes in his appearance. Then he looks to Trent, seeing that he has radical changes to his appearance as well. Finally, he looks to Ashley, and his gaze stays there the longest. His mouth drops open as he looks at her wild and fiery beauty, more intense and seductive than any other woman he has ever laid eyes on. He stares at her perfect skin, her flowing hair, her beautiful amber red eyes. He takes a long time to look away, forgetting himself in the light of her beauty.

When he finally does look away, he becomes aware that Yalm is saying something. He hears him say to go outside and experiment, and wonders at the new things he can accomplish. When asked how he feels, Reginald looks to Ashley and says unabashed, "I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life."

Our characters are now Expert/Sorceror 1, correct?
If we are gaining the Sorceror gestalt now, I'd like to know the crunch as far as your modifications to Sorcerors so I can make the necessary changes to the character. You said previously it would be based on HD rather than Charisma.

For the purpose of this campaign, that is correct. You will only have to worry about the Elemental bloodline for right now. You will add another bloodline in book two and the third in book three. That is provided we ever make it to those books. So only worry about being Elemental Bloodline for right now.

What I meant was, is the Elemental Ray bloodline power still usable 3+CHA per day, or is it based on something else? Also, are bonus spells/day based on CHA?

In all variables, charisma is replaced by HD. Your not very powerful to start. But your HD will exceed your modifier making you obnoxiously powerful down the road. Trust me, it will be a good while before we get to that point but you will relish in the unique challenges you will face once you get there. This campaign gets to be quite insane hehe. So for now. Do your best to supplement HD in place of Charisma. I spent a good deal of time on this system and it works best this way.

As Terry approaches the altar, his eyes are drawn to the green stone...for a moment, it's the only thing that exists to him. Despite its obvious solidity, its shape somehow suggests that it's about to dissipate into nothingness, and as he reaches out to grasp it the stone fits into his hand as though it were made to. It presses back into his grip like its solidity is dynamic rather than static. At some level he's aware of Yalm chanting in the background, but that's not important--his entire attention is focused on the stone in his hand. The current of power flows into him, and though under other circumstances he'd be embarrassed by his nudity it's not important either. He inhales deeply, trying to draw more of the essence into himself, greedily drinking it in, feeling it fill him to bursting, striving with all his might to prolong the moment, the sensation, the flow, as it moves through him and changes him. The cold is only a momentary distraction, followed as it is by the ecstasy of transformation.

He slowly returns to his senses, breathless and exhausted yet energized. With his eyes closed, he can feel the stone's essence inside of him, beating in time to his heart, filling his lungs as he breathes, flowing from his diaphragm throughout his body and back again in a continuous current, never completely still. Opening his eyes, he comes to his feet and looks around--first at Reggie, who's directly across from him, then right and left at Trent and Ashley. He doesn't immediately register Yalm's question, as he's distracted by the changes in the appearance of the other three. "What? Oh, sorry. I feel incredible. And yeah, learning things...good idea, we can talk to the Elf...yeah...wow, Ashley, what happ--what happened to *all* of you? Hell, what happened to *me*?" He looks at his hands and arms, and at the rest of his body, then chuckles slightly. "Guess we don't need to worry about clothes after all.... Yalm, do you have a mirror handy? I want to see Ashley's face when she sees herself."

He walks around somewhat aimlessly, clearly burning off nervous energy, clapping Trent and Reg on the back and squeezing Ashley's shoulder as he passes them by. "All, right, Yalm. I'm convinced."

One more question we still do not assign feats correct?

One more question we still do not assign feats correct?

Correct. You need to find someone to teach you the feat you want to learn. How do you know what feat to learn? Ask folks about stuff that you may know from books, movies, or just logical or creative thinking. Example. To get the metamagic feats you would ask Yalm things like, "Know any trick for making spells more amplified, or how to use them without incantations?" Or for cleave. "Is there a way I can do more with one swing?" Then there are the feats such as skill based feats. Feats that relate to personality or personable or reasonable for you to know, then you can simply train it by yourself for yourself. Hopefully that makes sense.

In all variables, charisma is replaced by HD. Your not very powerful to start. But your HD will exceed your modifier making you obnoxiously powerful down the road.

So does this make Chr a dump stat then? Cuz Ashley is obviously fairly focused on Chr.

I make socializing extremely important plus I will play reactions against your ability modifiers. Even though your characters got a good makeover, don't assume that will make conversing any easier. Also, I am reminded of one rule. Your charisma must be 12 or above. It cannot be below. This represents your appearance at the very least. Please stat your characters according to roleplay not rollplay. Most of this campaign depends on quality roleplaying as much as mechanics. Thank you.

Alright, Reginald was kinda anti-social before but I'll raise his CHA to a 12 instead of INT. I was kinda going to go with something along those lines before anyways. Play it as the transformation giving him more confidence, due to his new powers and his more comely appearance. The adjustments to character are on the profile now.

If bonus spells are done as Hit Dice instead of Charisma score, that would mean that no bonus spells would be had until 12th level. Are Hit Dice replacing the Charisma score in this case, or the charisma modifier, or are they determined another way?

And for Ashley, Charisma is still useful for socialization and convincing people, something that I'm sure Ashley will excel at given her scores. Other classes also use Charisma (such as paladin), so maybe your gestalting could swing one of those directions. Just an idea.

Another good one for a high Charisma character might be cavaliers. I would recommend bard, but they overlap quite a bit with sorcerors. There are some archetypes of rogue based heavily on Charisma, if you want a character who is less combat-focused. Oracles are Charisma based too. Plenty to do with a good Charisma score.

Trenton stares down at the blue stone before him, hesitantly he touches the pulsing blue stone and he is overcome with a sense of peace that seems to envelop him. He looks up in time to see the knife Yalm holds above the central white stone and flinches as he plunges it down into the stone releasing the blood like liquid from the stone. He watches with apprehension as the creeping liquid reaches his own stone, the mist the pours forth quickly envelops him, he feels at peace, he once had gone swimming off the coast of Florida and the waters there had wrapped around him like a warm embrace, he felt that now as the mist swirls about him filling him from the inside with...power? He felt it magic real magic was inside him and it was growing throughout his body. He gasps with the sudden cold he feels but once again the warmth of it soon replaces the cold, though he can feel the icy sensation at the back of his mind. It was like something now shared his body something he could not put a name to but he knew it was there to help him.

The mist changes as it surrounds him once more, now the blue of the ocean and the rivers he welcomes it as it once more washes over him. As he looks up he sees that light has returned to the room and then he sees everyone else. Curiously there hair and eye color has changed. He had only been able to make out there forms in the dark earlier but now he sees what the magic has done to them. He looks curiously at Reggie, seemingly to have grown but he was not that much changed or so Trenton could tell. But when he looks at the others, Terry and Ashley he almost gasps at the changes their clothes and their hair had changed drastically, Terry now could go out and become the most popular well anything, TV, movie, singer star ever. And then there was Ashley he could not seem to come up with words to try and describe but her hair now fiery red in color her eyes the color of warm amber yellow the kind that filled the campfire on cold nights. He tore his eyes away from her and slowly reaches up to pull a lock of his own long hair down before his eyes, it was startlingly blue in color. Then he caught sight of his clothes, flowing robes of various blues even with hints of sea green hidden among the folds.

He looks down at his hands and slowly clenches them feeling the power flowing down into them,cold energy flowed down into them making them glow slightly frost slowly forming on his hands, he grins suddenly to himself and then releases the power to look up at Yalm as he speaks of more training.

"Yalm could you teach us things about magic? I mean Leorn might know a few things...but I guess I could talk to you more later huh?" Trent grins at his new found friends and then says. "I don't know about you guys but I would definitely like to try this out, and then talk to Leorn."

Good, only person left to post is Ashley. I look forward to that one lol.

coming this evening! Hope it won't disappoint ;)

hmm dramatic suspense fills as we all wait on the one females reaction lol

Sorry! Busy times here with the Film Festival in town. And all good points about Charisma, thanks all.

As soon as she enters the room she hears it, the call. The voice she has heard all these years, the quiet, yet also deep and powerful voice that had been calling to her from across some unimaginably vast gulf, now, now it was here, and it's power and urgency completely overwhelms her.

As if in a trance, Ashley moves over to the glowing, pulsing red stone and reverently places her hand upon it. She hardly notices when the windows and doors slam shut. Then Yalm moves to the center and stabs down into the white crystal. As the 'blood' begin to flow down and toward them all it only seems somehow...right, to her.

As the wispy essence begins to surround her Ashley raises both arms and hands above her head, unconsciously performing a sinuous dance. She breathes in as deeply as she can, allowing the substance, the energy, to penetrate every part of her, every pore and every cell.

As the energy and power continue to build in her Ashley feels as she never has before. Power, sensuality, flow through her veins. Sex, and Fire, Heat and Passion, all broil and roil inside of her, filling her with an esctacy she had never even imagined was possible. The power claims her, becomes her, as she becomes it. The two become one, united body and soul forever more.

As she opens her eyes Ashley views a new world. The colours are brighter, sharper. She can sense, almost see, an...aura around the others, almost as if being able to sense the new power within them.

She stands gracefully, elegantly, her every movement unconsciously sinuous and sensual. Where before was a girl now stands a woman, confidant and secure in both her power, presence and sexuality.

She gazes levelly at each of you in turn, a small, secret smile on her face. If you didn't know better, it would almost seem as if she was mentally...tasting you. Whatever, all you know is that when her amber eyes meet with yours, a thrill of heat pulses through your system, ending it's journey somewhere in-between your legs. It's passing leaves you feeling a little week kneed.

Opening her mouth in a smile she says languidly "Yes, I would relish the chance to play with...my new abilities." for a moment your heart hitches because for some crazy reason, for an instant you were sure she was going to say your name instead.

"Yes, Yalm, please, teach us what you may so that we can use our new found powers to grow...and of course to help your world."

As she says the word 'grow' Ashley's eyes seem to alight, and you can swear you see a...hunger in her, the insatiable hunger of the ravaging fire. After that brief moment though the gleam subsides and the Ashley you knew returns. Well, more or less. Actually, a lot less.

Smiling once again, this time in a traditionally women-like way say laughs charmingly as she says "And yes! A mirror would be lovely! while letting her new red hair fall through her fingertips.

Um, oh-oh! I'm suddenly a little nervous about what we may have released here! Sure hope Yalm knows what he is doing! (But seriously! Suddenly Ashley scares me a little bit....; )

And now trent is severely creeped out...not the girl he gave his coat to a day before lol

Lol, guess time will tell how much is Fire and how much is Ashley. I have as little idea as the rest of you!

That was an awesome display of creative writing with the reactions to one of my favorite parts in this story. Especially Ashley's, real spicy. I like. Can't wait to she how her new persona plays itself out.....I'm both excited and scared lol. Whatever!

Ashley did make an interesting point though. You should try to mold your character's to fit the personalities of the elements within. To put it bluntly, you all just made love to the spirits and now their power and personalities are fused with yours. You are all half human, half elemental. So there will be some obvious changes in personalities, though none of you has lost any of your personal life experiences and none of you have yet to gain much knowledge of this world even with the elemental union.

You all have gain a small spell list of innate abilities relating to your elements. First is the bloodline power for your bloodline. After that, there are two others. I have personally added additional spells to the original spell list. I don't have time this evening to post the new spells or even push the game on as I need to reread a bit of my stuff and make the necessary adjustments. Tomorrow is friday and is therefore my busy day so I wont be able to post more than maybe a couple of sentences for one post. So I will hopefully have the next step up tomorrow night. Thank you all for your patience and wonderful writin skills. This is so much more enjoyable in PBP than IRL lol.

Yes now Trenton shall be even more reclusive and og with the flow but piss him off and he shall be unmovable as a glacier mwhahaha rats lol will work on it now im just debating spells and how they apply to them also Shano if you were thinking to put the primal archtype for trent dont lol I actually just reread it and no I dont want lol if we get to the second/third book Trent will seek out someone to teach him the bloodline Rime blooded though more focusing on ice than water that ok?

In addition to your bloodline powers each of you has two spells that you all can cast innately

Fire:Light and Spark
Water:Create Water and Ray of frost
Air:Gust and Breath
Earth:Create Sand and Form Rock

Light, Spark, Create Water, Ray of Frost are the same as in the book

Gust is a standard action that creates a gust of wind that blows strong in a straight line up to 15 feet. It is strong enough knock over items lighter than five pounds

Breath You can inhale pure air no matter what environment you are in. This spell is only good for one puff of air per level. Good if you are in a tight spot and need a gulp of air.

Create Sand This works exactly like Create Water. Exactly only it creates sand.

Form Rock You can make a sizable rock out of sand or dirt that is laying around or in hand. Rocks usually the size of baseballs.

All these spells are standard actions and also require no incantation. You simply gesture and think on it and they work.

Yalm chuckles a bit. "There should be some powers you will now have innate in you. Basically what happened was that you are excellent receptacles for the elemental spirits powers. The alter was simply a channel but four capable and untainted individuals were needed in order to make the connection. Leorn can teach you much,Leorn can teach you to be many things. He can train you to be a horseman(Cavalier) He could teach you to be a ranger(Duh), he can teach you to be one with nature(Druid). He can teach you to be a swordsman(Fighter). Lastly he can teach you the art of many skills(Rogue)" Yalm nods "Yes that is what he knows. You all have innate powers. You should go outside and try them out. If you need Leorn he will either be in the kitchen, his room, which is in the back of the cottage, or out with the unicorns. Now you can go outside and try out your abilities or talk to Leorn. Let the spirits show you how to use your new powers. Given time and training, you will learn much more."

Oh, and all your spells are once a day each spell

So does that mean we get these spells as well as the ones we have selected as regular spells? haha and the once a day = these extra spells? sorry if these are dumb questions long day at work

Trenton nods at Yalms words, although deeply intrigued by all of these he wonders...if they were right for him. The power he feels in his veins seems cold as if ice had formed in some part of his body and was slowly melting to fill him with its power.

When Ashley had spoken something inside him had risen up and almost found himself snarling at her but thankfully her normal self had seemed to come out before he lost control of himself. Though if he was water she would be fire natural opposing forces. He hoped she didn't lose control like that too many times, no telling how long he could withstand that....raw temptation or control his own..spirit.

"Maybe Yalm you could teach us more about controlling our powers as well?"

Let me clarify. The spells I listed are the ONLY ones you can use right now. Other spells will come with time and training.

Alright, I changed my profile so that I don't have any more spells. Should I list these as 1st level spells, or just spell-like abilities?

Ok ill leave spell son but i did put in the two spells you gave us ryuko

Also:
Yeah ill get back to you guys on this game i am totally pissed right now that yet another game might have to be lost due to dreaded loot system arguments
I am no going to go console myself with the original Karate Kid

Apart from the physical changes, Terry seems to be having some trouble keeping still since the transformation, and he's definitely a bit more touchy (as in, inclined to touch people when he's near them). He's continuing to walk around while he listens to Yalm. "Good ideas. I think I'll go talk to Leorn...let him know how we're doing, and apologize for running out on him."

If there's a railing on the stairs down, Terry will slide on it. Otherwise, he'll move a bit tentatively at first (not used to walking in robes!), then hurry down the stairs to the cottage.

"Leorn! Sorry we ran off without eating...say, how long were we gone? Check out the new look...and wait'll you see the other three! Especially Ashley and Trent...for some reason, Reggie just makes me want to pick at him. He's just too still. I bet it's the elemental, though; he never did that to me before.

"Anyway, Yalm said you could teach us. Tell me about being a rogue--I think I like the idea of knowing how to do lots of things."
