Nice write up.

I just updated about 13 days worth of the archives, almost 100 entries. I still have over 2 weeks and 125 more entries to go.
So that is what I am doing this morning. :)

OOC: Ditto, nice writeup. So basically, Ally was able to find him, but learned little of importance. Will this success make it easier to scry again in the future, or will every casting have the exact same saving throw?
IC: All too quickly, Allistair's magical energies are drained, and he must guide his spirit back to his own body before he lacks the strength to do. Not being able to re-connect in time may weaken or even kill him, a danger that such magic requires. This being his first time, he was sure to return to himself with time to spare. His connection to the mirror, the gate to this mirror world, is still in place and he quickly follows it back through to his own body. With a sharp breath he blinks his eyes and finds himself back in his own body.
Allistair takes a minute to clear his head. "Well, it's finished. Did either of you see anything? I didn't think you would, but you never know until you try." Ally then gets up to report to the rest of the group in the fort. "Well, the spell was technically a success. I was able to find him. He was in a small room, changing his clothes. He had a lot of bandages from the wounds that Ran and Mund here inflicted on him. Then got a tray of food and started eating. Unfortunately, that is all I was able to see, as the spell has a fairly short duration of a few minutes. I can try the spell again, but my energies are currently used up and I won't be able to attempt it again until tomorrow. However, I can give a very accurate description of this wizard. Even better, I can show you."
With that, Allistair casts Alter Self to take the form of the enemy wizard. He is careful to replicate all the details he observed during the few minutes, especially the face and eyes. "Do any of you recognize this person?" Ally looks to the Force Leader, Maximus, and especially the Lady de Blum. Ally keeps his own voice in the altered form, since he hasn't yet had the opportunity to hear the wizard speak. "We don't know his name yet, but this is what he looks like. Remember it well, as he has already shown himself as an ememy of both the Dwarven nation and Bhyo."
When everyone is satisfied, Allistair will cancel the spell, revert to his own form, and answer any other questions the others might have.

Mund draws his axe and stands guard over his brother while he does his magicker stuff. The axe he's still not used to is heavy in his arms, and he paces the room.
When his brother comes to and tuns into that dirty stinkin' coward magicker, Mund has to consciously stop himself from using that axe immediately.
"Damn, that's creepy Ally. But yeah, that's him."

But evidently not lucky enough for you to to decide to actually give us some useful information...

Well the spell does have limitations, such as only being able to see 10 feet around the guy. I mean if someone scryed on me at work most days all they would see is the desk and door of the room I work in. Wouldn't tell them much about where I am or who I work for.
If they scryed at night they might find out even less.
But you do know that with in a few hours of escaping you he was at a place he felt comfortable in.

OOC: Mark and Derek, according to the spell description, the scrying spell allows you to see and hear the subject. You may not understand what he says, but Allistair should have been able to hear what was being said (not that Mark will have had anything truly important said, but the guys name might have slipped out - a servant saying "here you are, my lord xyz" for example.
