Re: Thread VIII: Power, Players
When the group had reached the side of the lake ooposite to the High Priest, Water Hornet made several steps forward, stopping just a couple of yards from the water. He was poised to start with their plan when the snakes moved.
"It's not me," replied Hornet to Sun Fox in a shocked tone, "it's somebody else!" He started turning his head around, trying to pinpoint who had such effect on the serpents, before realizing how futile that attempt was.
"This might be our chance," the Magnakai spoke to other Kai, "I will try to discover what is driving the snakes, but we should make haste and cross the lake while the water is clear." He nodded to Frost Ferret, approached the lake and knelt on one knee. Holding his dagger in one hand, he submerged fingers of the other one into the water and invoked his powers.
He probed slightly in the minds of the moving snakes, connecting their instincts and reflexes to his own mind to understand what was driving them; here and there he would push slightly his own command back at them to see how would individual specimen react, "listening" with his psychic powers if there was any mental communication established with some other source.
The aim is to find out what is driving the snakes. I don't want to give them any specific command, yet, but just probe into their minds and see what is controlling them (while I'm not using Sixth Sense to detect a psychic communication directly, maybe it could give a bonus to the roll...?).
Rolled a 4.
