Speaking of the sending spell, can vampire durkon see or hear the surroundings of the target? Because he might notice what they're doing.

Even if one ambush was spoiled, I'd still be on the lookout for signs of an ambush because there could be more than one set up.

Nope

Hey, if you could use Sending as a scrying spell there wouldn't be much point in scrying, now would there?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

See, what you do is make a custom spell that looks like Sending but allows Scrying activities, they'll never know until it's too late.

[Egan_BW]

...Or you could just scry on them, invisible.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That risks them having scry detection.

[Egan_BW]

So does your plan.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

They'll have doubts if it looks like senidng instead. Even at worst it sows confusion among them.

Just cast a level 12 spell that doesn't give anyone under level 25 or any spells below level 10 the chance to see you scrying? That should keep you mostly safe.

I don't play DnD but even to me it doesn't sound like it would work that way, at least not the way you worded it probably.

Well, outright preventing a counterspell from working isn't a standard seed for epic spell development, but if you can get it, GM approval forgives many sins.  Alternately, Detect Scrying covers a 40' area centered on the caster.  Create your custom scrying spell so that it places the magical sensor at least 41' feet away and allows for observation of a sufficiently large cone or radius.  This then results in Spy vs. Spy shenanigans where the other caster creates Greater Detect Scrying spell that covers 42', you step up to 43', and so forth.

Or, you know, talk to some gnomes and ask them to develop a non-magical device to take images, some sort of light-recording mechanism like a sunprint or heliogene.  That would require you to work with gnomish inventions, though.

New one this morning.

Well, it would be really nice if they updated their RSS feed.

Why does the Chaotic water show them what they want to see?

[andrea]

I would guess it is a material component for the scrying they are doing, and they use chaotic water instead of holy water due to the alignment of hilgya/loki. Plus, it is a convenient way to show the results of scrying.

[Arx]

It was a joke.
