Fangs can get in, it's Mirror that needs a larger opening.cyl said:
There are crystal panels/doors that are already cracked - plus the whole Manse crashed out of the sky. A little more damage is not going to make a difference to the huge list of repairs that are already needed.

Well, if Fangscan get in and attune to the manse, then she should be able to open the door for Mirror.
If she cannot attune, then it means the Manse is already owned by someone else, and there isn'tmuch you can do.

What happens in this case? Do you have to hunt down the heartstone?

@xarvh - would the spell "Incantation of Effective Restoration" work on a broken crystal door/window ? Specifically, not the sliding/mechanical/essence driven parts, but just the panel/door part? Spell is in Book fo Sorcery 2, pg. 50.
In 1st Ed, you could smash the hearthroom, and when it reformed, you attuned to it instead of the other person. (Or kill the other person attuned to it, of course.)
You could also modify the geometry to the point where the heartstone needs to reform.
Looking in the 2nd ed book, pg. 133: "Altering or defacing the hearthroom substantially disrupts the manse and causes all attunements to break." Then you have to repair the manse's hearthroom, and you can attune to it.
Basically, defend your manse, or someone will come in, break it, and take over from you.

Don't have the manual here but seems doable.
Still, as you will discover soon, the Manse does not have a heartstone. As it is right now it's a bit more than a glorified Demesne.

Why would you believe that to be the case?cyl said:
Fangs did express a concern that the Manse's defenses would light her up when she dropped in (because this is precisely what a Manse designed by Fangs would do). But given the knowledge that Flicker successful came down, that bit shouldn't be a problem.

Siham's away in Nexus right now, isn't he?
When he's on his way towards Ankss, if he could pick up a book or scroll with the Terrestrial Spell of Incantation of Effective Restoration from his library on the way, that would be lovely. Fangs can Messenger him with the request, and notice of captured, broken manse.

Or honestly, his Siham-ness might be sufficient at this point sans spell.Kacie said:
I imagine we'll know when we get inside.
True, but right now we don't know how to open it without breaking it, and one of us *can* get inside. That gives us an entirely new angle through which to look for doorknobs.
...
Or alternately, how long does it take to learn a spell...Mirror has Terrestrial Sorcery, doesn't she?
Kacie

Yes, Mirror has Terrestrial Sorcery, and has Occult favored. Which is why carefully breaking a door could be okay, once the spell is learned.
About that hitting thing - you want Mirror to slug Fangs? Oh boy. That's gonna hit the psyche.

I more meant there is more than one way to skin a cat, and in this particular case, we have a Twilight Solar who likes to build things. That should trump sorcerous means of repairing things any day of the week.JayTee said:

So, uh, does Mirror need to hit above Fangs's DV in order to trigger the spell?
This is a funky question, but Mirror only has MA worth anything if she uses charms. If she uses charms, she quickly becomes very dangerous. And asking a Dusk caste to hit you is like taunting the Neverborn, you know...
Regarding the spell, I was thinking that if Fangs and/or Mirror know that, we can help make repairs go faster. Siham will still the star of things, but I was hoping we could help cut down the time even more.

Kacie, this is purely because Fangs is a little bit insane. Mechanically, the spell is a reflexive action, but reflex implies something happened.Kacie said:
Slap her cheek (this will cause things later, but they're happening anyway), Good-natured shoulder punch (This won't), etc. No rolls, no charms

Oh, I was thinking that if nether of you knew the spell, Siham would at least know the theory behind it so he could teach you and you could actually do it.CrazyIvan said:

You can trigger any reflexive things at will.
The Widow herself used FoS without any attack, so can Fangs.

@xarvh - is it okay to learn a spell in this scene if Fangs is teaching Mirror?
@CrazyIvan - don't know if you saw, but Mirror has (attempted to) punch Fangs; Fangs is up.

Which spell? FOS or the repair one? o_O
If it is just to access the Manse, we can have Fangs enter, attune and open the doors in a single post, so that you won't be left waiting.

FOS was what I was asking about - I don't believe Fangs knows the repair one. But if Fangs can enter and open the door swiftly, then no need to grab FOS on the fly, as it were. Thanks.

I know I'm up, just having a bad week, and it's important enough to Mirror that I'd like to not half-ass the consequences of her decking Fangs.
