Just having the ring isn't enough to guarantee that the spell won't work on him.

I'll change my post if it bothers you, but what gave you the idea that Erudessa and her ring were behind the counteracting of the spell's effect for The Storyteller when I stated that it was the voice that was doing so?

Because that would be God-moding, and you wouldn't do that to us.

I don't mind in the slightest, as long as there is a plan on how the story progresses from this point.
I mean, we could just get party-wiped. It would certainly be the first time I've seen it, ever, in forum roleplay.

The Storyteller's strength cannot simply remain while the Warlock casts his spell. Just having the ring isn't enough to guarantee that the spell won't work on him. The Storyteller has to ask Erudessa for what he wants, and she'll tailor a spell for him based on his abilities, character, and tactical situation. Tiberius got a simple strength spell, while Kaite is going to get something considerably more complicated. The Storyteller should be weakened like everyone else, and then I'll handle Erudessa's response as appropriate.

Also consider that Vert's subplot is still active. She's supposed to be the hero here at the moment. We need to support her until the subplot comes to a close. Not saying you can't try to supplant her or do your own thing, though.

You mean Ivan, Tiberius hasn't actually asked for anything yet.
