Invictus pulls up into the driveway. As he and the others get out, Invictus asks Animus a question. "What do you need for your ritual?"

Invictus is the first one to the front door and once everyone is inside he gets more serious than normal. "Someone should show you around sometime. But now we should get down to business. What are you going to do and are there any exceptional precautions we need to take?"

"I'd need to open a gateway to the shadow realm, and from there we would need to return to the park. The gateway lasts for an hour, but I doubt we can make it back before then. Assume you're entering unknown and potentially hostile territory and make preparations as you see fit. Not all spirits are friendly, and whoever set up the two stones may not have left them unguarded. Depending on what spirits are near here, we may also need to take precautions to keep them from using the gateway while it's active."

Directly inside the hallow, the only spirit around is that of the house, but its largely unconcerned with you guys. There are no other spirits of any concern.

Blackfire gives the people a short tour and then shows them down to his basement.
There is a large open space were Blackfire motions for Animus to cast the portal spell.
"If we are going against spirits I can jimmy together some simple blasting items that can injure spirits. You all will have to provide the mana and they won't last but a few hours."

"But aren't spirits solid in the shadow? They aren't like ghosts here in twilight, right?" Invictus knew next to bumpkis about spirits-of-things-Spirits, but he was on firmer ground when it came to spirits-of-dead-people-Spirits. "Vulgar is still Vulgar in the Shadow right? It isn't like the Astral?"

"No, if I re-call Paradox is lessened in the Shadow. But would you really not want to go in there prepared. Unless you guys can do the blasty stuff on your own."

"I can do blasty, but I'm not very good at it." Invictus admitted. "A boomstick would be nice."

"Paradox is indeed lessened in the Shadow Realm, and the spirits are solid. I can handle myself in a fight without .
If any of you plan to cast any spells that aren't rituals, I suggest you wait until after the portal is opened. And, Blackfire, how long do you expect it to take to jimmy those items together?"

Blackfire nods and begins rifling through his boxes of parrafeniala in his basement.
"Will take me a few moments to put the stuff together and begin casting. Make yourselves at home."

Blackfire waves from his stack of boxes.
"I'm Blackfire, this is my place. I sell mana and the odd special tool for a limited time."
He dives back to the boxes looking for the focuses.

"I came here because I had heard rumors of banisher attacks and wanted to help. What I didn't expect was being greeted with a text message that Cartright had been murdered. Do you have any idea what will happen to the nine-link chain?"

Fiddler directs his conversation to Animus, "I'm originally here on business- I'm a concert violinist and have picked up plenty of gigs here. the banisher problems are what's keeping me, though. I would be remiss if I didn't help out the ladder when it needed me." He paused before adding, "Hopefully the nine-link chain can stay strong. otherwise, if Cartwright can get murdered, we should all watch each other's backs real close."

"Eh, I'm just a working stiff. Lived near by. Got phenomenal cosmic powers that I need to practice with. Joined up with the Silver Ladder. Going to night school. Not much to tell really." Invictus doesn't know Animus all that well, and until he does he plans on playing his cards close to his chest.
Once he realizes that they are going to start talking politics, he excuses himself. "Well, I don't know about anyone else, but us Matter wizards need their tools. I'm going to get some things put together for the expedition while you get that gateway built."

With a triumphant cry Blackfire holds up two wands from behind the pile of boxes.
"Now we can party."
Blackfire heads to a side room in the basement and pulls his lighter out to use as his focus.
03-10 12:42:28 Blackfire rolls 11 dice to Imbue spell 4 successes
9,8,3,6,1, 7,10,1,5,3, 9,4
03-10 12:44:40 Blackfire rolls 11 dice to imbue spell 4 successes
8,1,9,6,6, 4,6,2,10,8, 2,1
[[Takes two hours to produce two wands with Celestial fire, 7 dice against defense. Bashing/ Vulgar 1 die from paradox (2 base- 1 casted with a focus)]]

As Taylor begins his ritual, Animus takes the time to renew his spells.
Organic Resilience -- +1 duration (advanced), words of power
03-10 13:13:27 Animus rolls 7 dice to Gnosis + Life 2 successes
9,4,10,1,3, 4,7,7
Pulse of the Living World -- +1 duration (advanced), words of power
03-10 13:14:32 Animus rolls 7 dice to Gnosis + Life 7 successes
8,8,8,6,10, 10,9,10,7,3
He then waits an hour before beginning his own ritual. He removes from his pockets a small copper mirror, a book of matches, and an incense stick. Lighting the incense, he begins his ritual.
Spirit Road -- +3 duration (5 turns)
03-10 13:00:38 Animus rolls 6 dice to Gnosis + Spirit 2 successes
8,7,3,7,3, 8
03-10 15:44:04 Animus rolls 6 dice to Gnosis + Spirit (1) 5 successes
03-10 15:49:10 Animus rolls 1 die to Paradox Failure
4
Takes one hour to cast.
((Edit: changed due to misunderstanding of Spirit Road))

Blackfire holds up the wands.
"Alright, these aren't the best blast power in the world but they are better then nothing. Who wants one?"

Fiddler puts out his hand to Blackfire, saying, "thanks man, hopefully won't need it but better safe than sorry."
Fiddler debated in his mind whether to push his spell tolerance by activating his mage sight, or to keep both his shields. The wand Blackfire had given him was beginning to weigh on him, but not too heavily. Not entirely sure about the Mind stone's possible effects, he decided to keep his mental shield in favor of sight. He cleared his mind and meditated, focusing on the rote Imago's he was now thoroughly familiar with.
(
Recasting shields (to create definate succ #'s and make sure they last as long as possible)
Cast Twisting Threads (space 2 armor) Wits+Occult+Space
03-10 14:08:10 Fiddler rolls 7 dice to Twisting Threads 3 successes (all spent on potency, 1 mana spent to increase duration to 24 hours, cost negated by being at hollow)
4,8,10,1,1, 7,10,6,1
Cast Steel Trap (mind 2 mental shield) Resolve+Occult+Mind
03-10 14:09:58 Fiddler rolls 7 dice to Steel Trap 3 successes (all spent on potency, 1 mana spent to increase duration to 24 hours, due to gnosis limitation hallow does not mitigate, I now have 9/10 mana)
6,1,3,3,10, 9,1,8
)
"Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be, lets do this," he said, before following Animus through the portal.

(( Long ST note here:
1. Blackfire's Imbue pool is 10 die, not 11, unless I'm missing something.
2. Wands will do 7 die of Celestial fire, require the user to spend Mana per use, and require a base Paradox roll of 2 die per use.
3. Whoever carries the Wands add +1 to Spell Tolerance, please.
4. Please remember that Paradox rolls come BEFORE spellcasting rolls.
5. Spirit Road is Transitory. It remains open one turn. One person may pass through every turn. You need to add Duration Factors, or cast multiple times.
Sorry for the length, we can take this to Mage OOC and I'll delete if you guys have questions. ))
