Tanner's Tortured Teepee
 

Hey Riku,

This is Tanner's private thread.

His name is Tarner, not Tanner. Tee Ay Are Enn Eey Are. :)

Argh. Gonna misspell that a few dozen times in the first 6 months, I can already tell.

Heh, I come close to misspelling it too XD I think of it like how metal will tarnish.

History (success):
What Tarner can tell about these gates at about 20 yards away is that they display the typical strengths and weaknesses of drow war-construction. Which is to say that they are very strong against magical assault but not nearly so good against a strong, physical pounding. Iron is a magically inert compound, so blasting them almost certainly won't work. However, even iron gates are only so strong as their cross-bar. Moreover, black iron is HEAVY. So the the crossbar here is probably wooden. Maybe heavy wood, but still. You should be able to pound it with a few good strokes... if you can get close enough.

Translation: This is a Lvl 2 Skill Check, Complexity 1. You need 4 successes to open the gate.

Tarner has little trouble finding books about demons. In fact, there is an entire section of the library focused on the Demonweb and its denizens--and plenty more besides.

What exactly are you looking for here?

A book with the names of different demons would be ideal; Like a sort of master-list of demonry. Other than that, a book focusing on possessions would work great.

Ah. Sorry. I missed your response.

Alright, I'll get back to you about this later this weekend.

Although, it seems like this book will work fine! XD

Good. 'Cause that's what you got.
