No problem, hopefully the store update is done while you are away, then you can come back to a nice new site and the same old crusty forum. :)
The mind thrust does have a save for half, I noted it in the initiative tracker. [/QUOTE
I see that now. But you did not indicate a DC, Shine got a 28 so I'm thinking she takes half. :) AP adjusted. Shine is full after that channel.
Why would I need to include the DC? Either way, update to come once I get home.
If I have messed up any HP adjustments for the psychic, such as the subtracting 10 damage instead of adding, please do let me know. He has fast healing 5 and DR5, which is a big part of why he is still kicking.
It counts as a melee attack, so holding the charge does allow the full round action next turn. It will hinge on him remaining unconscious until then.
Handle Animal is Trained Only for training tricks, you can make Handle Animal checks untrained. Also, as a summon it generally follows your commands. Entirely up to you if you don’t want to spend the actions to direct it, of course.

Oh right I keep forgetting the [Trained Only] tag should come with more of an asterisk on that front. Well, Oria's Charisma rests somewhere below the pavement so she'll simply let sleeping psychics lie and give him that Love Tap if he stays down for a round.
You don't have to follow Lady Blakros' request, just to be clear.
Chronicles should be ready tonight, I will post the link once I have it done.

Very rough go, with the lack of Disable Device and the early end to the interrogation of your friend in the summoning circle costng the secondary success and both boons. :( Please let me know if I missed anything on your sheets. I do not have Shine's reporting info yet, let me know if you decided against using a replay.

I see no sheet for Shine?
I do not have reporting information for Shine.
Chronicles updated!

I just found this post again. I think the campaign was marked inactive while I had to take a short break from pbp (only a few days). Somehow, I didn't recognize that it was gone until today. I was going to level up Kaervek and couldn't find the last chronicle... because I never saw the Discussion post! This is entirely my fault, though, for being absent.
Wow, that's some quality wizard loot there! :-O
If Kaervek survives this scenario, he'll have a boatload of rolls to make to learn all these spells from the spellbook. ^_^
I'd like to post these dice rolls in this thread, if that's ok with you, GM TOZ.

INSIGHTS OF FAR-SEEING TAERNIS (LEVEL 12 CONJURER)
These two books are part of a set held together with a leather strap. The covers are of a shimmering and unearthly blue leather, and the spines are built of silver and iron. The books are chilly to the touch, and staring at them induces minor vertigo.
Protection: Sepia snake sigil (Reflex DC 16)
Opposition Schools: Divination, necromancy
Value: 4,555 gp (6,355 gp with the preparation ritual)SPELLS
6th — getaway(S) APG, planar binding(S), summon monster VI(S), wall of iron(S)
5th — contact other plane(OP), life bubble APG, overland flight, teleport(S)
4th — acid pit(S) APG, black tentacles(S), dimensional anchor, lesser geas, phantasmal killer, solid fog(S)
3rd — gaseous form, greater magic weapon, magic circle against evil, sepia snake sigil(S), spiked pit(S) APG, stinking cloud, tiny hut
2nd — arrow eruption(S) APG, daze monster, dust of twilight(S) APG, fantastic reach UM, glitterdust(S), metabolize(S) UM, shatter, stone call(S) APG
1st — comprehend languages(OP), disguise self, jump, mage armor(S), magic aura, mount(S), sleep, stumble gap(S) APG, unseen servant(S)
PREPARATION RITUAL
Sturdy Summoning (Su): A creature you summon gains augmented defenses for a short time. Spend this boon effect as a free action when you cast a conjuration (summoning) wizard spell. The creature you summon with that spell gains a number of temporary hit points equal to your caster level, and as long as the summoned creature has at least 1 of these hit points, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus on saving throws.
Relevant rule:
Spells Copied from Another’s Spellbook or a Scroll: A wizard can also add a spell to his book whenever he encounters one on a magic scroll or in another wizard’s spellbook. No matter what the spell’s source, the wizard must f irst decipher the magical writing (see Arcane Magical Writings). Next, he must spend 1 hour studying the spell. At the end of the hour, he must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell’s level). A wizard who has specialized in a school of spells gains a +2 bonus on the Spellcraft check if the new spell is from his specialty school. If the check succeeds, the wizard understands the spell and can copy it into his spellbook (see Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook). The process leaves a spellbook that was copied from unharmed, but a spell successfully copied from a magic scroll disappears from the parchment.
If the check fails, the wizard cannot understand or copy the spell. He cannot attempt to learn or copy that spell again until one week has passed. If the spell was from a scroll, a failed Spellcraft check does not cause the spell to vanish. (...)

Kaervek owns two items that give a bonus to (either some or all) Spellcraft checks:
- Cheat sheath: +2 circumstance bonus on Spellcraft checks made to learn a spell from a spellbook or scroll, prepare a spell from a borrowed spellbook, identify the properties of a magic item using detect magic, or decipher a scroll.
- Arcane family workbook: +2 circumstance bonus on spellcraft checks (takes 1d4 full rounds). This bonus increases to +4 if 1d4 hours are spent referencing the book.
That's high enough for all spells in the book - even with the -5 penalty for spells from his opposite school (Metal) e.g. the Level 6 spell Wall of Iron.
(If he is not allowed to use both items, he could take more time to get the +4 bonus from the arcane family workbook for the most complicated spells. I don't see a reason why he should not be able to use both, though.)
(...) If you are a specialist wizard, you get a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks made to identify, learn, and prepare spells from your chosen school. Similarly, you take a –5 penalty on similar checks made concerning spells from your opposition schools. (...)
The gold cost for scribing can be found here: Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook
If he copies only the spells below to his own spellbook (he already has some and doesn't want the others that were omitted), that will still be a lot of gold...
TOTAL SCRIBING COST: (4*10)+(1*40)+(5*90)+(5*160)+(2*250)+(2*360) = 40+40+450+800+500+720 = 2550 gold
6th — getaway, summon monster VI
5th — life bubble, overland flight
4th — acid pit, black tentacles, dimensional anchor, phantasmal killer, solid fog
3rd — gaseous form, greater magic weapon, magic circle against evil, spiked pit, tiny hut
2nd — shatter
1st — jump, mage armor, stumble gap, unseen servant

As discussed with Grandmaster TOZ, Kaervek needs at least one lesser restoration to cure his ability damage to Wisdom at the end of the scenario in order to be conscious and able to scribe any spells.
Also, the funds from the chronicle are not yet available for the scribing.
Therefore, here's one addition and one correction.
1) Addition of the payment for the following spellcasting service:
- 1x lesser restoration for 60 gold (spell level*CL*10 = 2*3*10 = 60)
2) Correction of the list of spells scribed (due to lack of enough funds):
6th — summon monster VI
5th — life bubble, overland flight
4th — acid pit, black tentacles, dimensional anchor, phantasmal killer
3rd — gaseous form, magic circle against evil, spiked pit
2nd —
1st — mage armor, unseen servant
NEW TOTAL SCRIBING COST: (2*10)+(0*40)+(3*90)+(4*160)+(2*250)+(1*360) = 20+0+270+640+500+360 = 1,790 gold
