    Classic! One of my favorite Blackwing lines to date!

    I deeply approve of this approach to magic.
    “Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

    Hah! I can honestly say I've never seen someone deliberately botch a UMD check to get this result before! Now let's hope it doesn't burn the ship down.

    Also that might be one of my favorite lines from Blackwing so far.

    See, V? This is why we pay attention to our familiars - so they don't blow up our brand-new scroll! Oh, and the ship as well, I suppose...

    Verbal component of the spell/attempt to read the scroll is great

    that is creative. of course, if I were a player, I'd then start making scrolls then intentionally failing the checks while throwing them like grenades to deal damage....

    I read this in a public place and almost burst laughing outloud. Great solution, didn't get it at first, found it much funnier when Blackwing considered not knowing wth he was doing good news.

    Hah! The wonders of using magic items as explosives is a classic one, in more creative circles, indeed. The rats almost certainly have far fewer hit points than the others, so an area effect was just what they needed.

    There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
