I must be going for the rest of today and all of tomorrow, internet connection will be iffy, but I'll see what I can do.

Sleeping two sets if 4 hours is not the same as sleeping 8 hours, sadly.

Also, Morning!

Just plop it down anywhere, really, as long as it's sparsely inhabited. Muggleproofing has its limits, and if everyone in Reykjavik started wondering what was in that rather interestingly disinteresting valley, well, that tower wouldn't have stood for as long as it has.

Guten morgen, too.

Faramir, I'm afraid I can't let you do that. Spells do have a limited range, and you have to aim them manually. If it were that easy to hit the target, he would have hit you already. So I'm ruling that your spell missed.

Of course, you could diminuendo yourselves to make yourselves harder to hit.

Just a suggestion.

Or it could result in the heli airframe folding up around you while your size is unchanged.

I think that's an matter of an Undetectable Extension more than just a simple Diminuendo. Also, since a heli is much more complicated than, say, a cardboard box, it would take several months in a workshop to get it to do that—engineering challenges and all that.

Good thinking, but no. I encourage creativity, as long as you have a plan to deal with all the side problems.

Also, oh God no. They're canon. Which means GTFO MY HEAD, MY IMMORTAL!

I think Dracula may be canon, yeah. Might just factor into the current, or maybe a future mission.

I'll be sending up a GM post soon. Also, we may have a new player joining soon. A Crack In Time has expressed interest in this RP as a wizard or a witch.grin

Two or three kilometers. Also, everyone's running blacked-out, so it's very hard for you to see him.

Sorry, got caught up in other things, as usual.

Now, our guys do know about magic disrupting electronics, right? That seems like something they would've covered during their weeks of training.

You're right, it's not. Check the last page. (I had a freak-out moment when I noticed that that post seemed to be missing, but it wasn't. Turned out it was on the previous page.)
