I was under the impression the spellbooks were conceptual, rather than physical objects (unless we wanted them to be), since it wasn't listed in our inventory.

Examine room more closely (Perception).

If we've been stripped down to rags, does that mean we wizards don't have our spellbooks?
Also, my character sheet has been updated to be much more accurate.
This is a good point. Glyph, you have to change your action. Also the goblin and orc are nonhostile prisoners/criminals.

Edit: Glyph also makes a good point, but I decided that a spellbook is an actual object, and it comes with your wizard class. I checked. You also get a pointy hat. Make a note.

Bluh, completely missed that bit with it actually listing the spellbook. What use is a wizard that can't even remember his own spells? Note to self, when I get out of here make sure to get these things tattooed somewhere instead.

Can a wizard use another wizards spellbook?

Anyways, just go with the rest of my actions, then, not like we know enough to make real decisions at this point.

Actually... to maximize readability space, anyone else here want to trade tattooing our spells on the other guy, just in case this ever happens again?

I quote,
Bdthemag: "I don't always GM, but when I do I prefer to put my player's in situations that include pain and torture. Stay creative my friends."

What's worse then a wizard not being unable to use his magic?

Or, for that matter, a weaponless warrior?

Or, a pickless rogue?

Hell, I pretty much made all of you really nice peasents, nerfing your class abiltys to death. That doesn't last long, but hell, still fun to mess with you guys.

Well, its not the only thing I have at my ability. If it's a guard, lure him into the room through trickery or something. Have one of the warriors act sick.

Tell the guard not only that he's sick and weak, but I'm sure I saw him hiding some ducats in his rags!

Act spiteful. And hope like hell the warrior is able to wrest the weapon from the guard.

If one of the warriors is next to a thief, the thief should try to steal the keys in the scuffle.

Hmmm. Everybody else seems to be asleep or at work or such, so I'm checking out for now. I'll come back later, and as far as you know the orc and goblin are just prisoners, slaves like the rest of you.

I don't know why you keep talking about the orc and goblin prisoners. I'm talking about the unknown person who's coming through the door.

Slowly sneak outside the room.

Scriver, you won't believe how much I use that name for games.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

I'll just chill, and let others do the hard work for me. Wizards work smart, not hard.

Fine. Chat with the orc and goblin prisoner, and ask if they know what's going on.
