Arthur, John, and D all jumped down the well, effectively washing them off. Any residual dust would have been burnt off by the funnel as they exited the well.

[edit]I just went back and re-read the Last several Posts. We do seem to have a problem, but it goes back further than the teleport, all the way to Arthur's force wall. This statement...

Quote:

Arther gets two bags in the chest and Narp gets one on his shield. John manages to duck and the bag hits the force wall holding the bug down. fortunatly, it doesn't burst. unfortunatly, it appears to be dissolving the shield.

...is followed up by this...

Quote:

Arthur quickly throws up a massive force wall in front of the bandits.

When Jack teleports, Narp's shield was left behind, but Arthur (his clothing included) apparently made it just fine.

The error is mine, as I wasn't careful enough to line my post up with Narf's. The question is, how do I fix it? Arthur might be able to cast when he's only partially covered, but a giant power-leaking spell like the force wall would probably be out of the question. Arthur's clothes making it with him during the teleport would definitely be out of the question--and, remember, even the minotaur had pants.

I can throw in a comment about a massive power drain from Arthur's clothes; As for the force wall, simply go back and specify that Arthur channeled through his hands, avoiding the dust on his chest. The dust can only affect the magic it impacts; in order for it to have maximum effect, it needs to coat the mage over all surfaces that magic is channeled out of, or get into the caster's system (hence the value of exploding pouches and aerial dust). The dust got caught up in Arthur's wet garments, and wasn't able to perform properly.

Edit: I edited.

Oops. I'd gotten the impression that you'd pretty much given up on posting there due to the comment on having removed it and your later comment on not being able to come up with anything for Narp. The wrong impression, apparently. Sorry about that. Should I go back and edit out?

Okay, I've edited the offending post, and I'll have a new one up soon.

[edit]Yeah, I've been working on it this whole time. It's a masterpiece! It's the best thing I've ever written! You have to go read it now! Okay, so it's not that great. So sue me--I had to go get a dog (2-3 yr. old black lab mix) yesterday. My anniversary present, and all.

And, of course, new dog=stinky dog=needs a severe bathing=Krsqk gets drenched while dog doesn't get much of a bath.

i've also thought out a method she could use to free herself - just poke a tiny hole in the spell and 'convince' the spell she's somewhere else. since the spell that's holding her powers in check is running off her life, it'd have nothing to run on. then, we come back and no buggy or psi.

wasn't this cave suppossed to be filled in? oh well, the cave-in could always have missed it.

Not quite - while I'd suggested such a method in this thread, Jack doesn't have that type of linking capability, and so is maintaining it himself. Of course, if Jack gets sufficiently dusted that he doesn't have a channel available to send power to the spell holding the Psi, she'll be free.

It was the Labyrinth that collapsed; we're in the mage's cave: the place he gated us to the Labrynth from.
