Tower of High Sorcery: Emergency quarantine

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Until further notice do not approach the Tower of High Sorcery.

Something in here did not appreciate my efforts to penetrate its mysteries.

I will alert the ship when I have dealt with it, on the possibly optimistic assumption that it does not kill me.

Do you need assistance? I can't give it, but others in Magical might be helpful.

With due respect to the others in Magical I don't think they have the depth of metathaumaturgy necessary to properly deal with a foe of this caliber.

Aibghalien, I am on my way. Tell me, what did you do before the construct attacked?

I would prefer you not intervene owing to the level of

It was not immune to its own spell-turned disintegrate. Good to know. But it reforms in a manner of hours.

I dispelled it, of course. In my defense I thought it was a shadow conjuration.

The Tower of High Sorcery is a powerful building from my world, I will intervene if I see it fit.

I have a suspicion of just what you may have gained the ire of.

Do you require assistance?

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Given the level of magics it and I are dueling with it would endanger you grossly.

I will be all right so long as I discover how to stop it from reforming before it slays me. I probably have a 45% chance.

It does say something that this has him talking to Abby.

...if this thing kills you, I won't forgive myself.

Do you want some help?

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

...as much as I appreciate the offer, I would rather I be the only one in danger.

[sonofether.livejournal.com]

You know, if you're not going to accept help from me, but at least get it from someone, all right? Pretty sure your death would be a detriment to the ship, you read me?

[dearest-nehaa.livejournal.com]

At least say something if you do need some help. I'll be certain to pass the warning around.

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

I much prefer having no lives other than my own endangered. I do not believe it will leave the Tower if it kills me.

[encourage]

I can do optimistic assumptions. Be as careful as you can, Aibghalien, sir.

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

I assure you my spell loadout is weighted heavily towards defense, particularly as this construct has a pesky resistance towards destruction. There is still a chance I will win, though.

[encourage]

A chance is better than none.
