Anson had established telepathic communication with Newt, and he checks with her to see if she is well. He is tired, and does not like being accused of murder by graverobbers, and he has no doubt that he will cross paths with Callyassa again. For now, however, the beacon is lit. His hands hurt...

Have a safe trip. Have a safe and enjoyable trip! :D We'll see you when you return. Ha! That is obviousl But it was a really good way to slow us down. We all want the chance to self-justify our characters' actions, to be the hero, and tick-tick-tick went the clock. It was really fun...

Anson has no time for this. The woman's feelings are hurt, he understands, and her sallow comment about her friend not living seems foolish to him when so many have died. She was robbing a tomb filled with the living dead. Yes, he had killed he friend, but he was neither sorry nr did he believe...

I was trying to be funny. Doesn't often work (for some of us).

Who knows? We still might...

Anson can't see Cailyassa pointing at him as she speaks, but he knows she means him. She is scared, he surmises, and is looking for a way out. At the same time, he does his best to determine where precisely she is, as he holds up his hands (the fire sticks still safely tucked in one of the...

Anson stood where he was, raised his arm, and fired another flame-blade at the glowing skull. It hurt his joints to fire -- again, something that had never happened before. But the pain felt good somehow. He aimed, and the blade shot forth, and struck home. Bonus: Aim. Move: none allowed...

Sure -- if Caer isn't there, I can use the Ready action, with the trigger, "if an ally is within 5' of the enemy" which will trigger the attaxck and get the SA bonus. With the fast-and-loose time frame of PBP I wasn't sure we were worrying about that, but I am absolutely prepared to use my...

Hearing the commotion in the next room, Anson enters the room and makes his way to the chest. He turns to see the glowing skull at the other side of the room. Before he think, a blade shoots forth from his hand. Move and (bonus) dash should get Anson beside the chest, even if he is slowed by...

I'm sorry -- I think I posted while you were typing, sticking with what I said before we knew more. Yes, I could set up an Silent Image, which could provide some cover. With Urgan moving ahead, he gets to test the (presumed) spellcaster. She will either flee (which we can't do anything about)...

So with my previous declared action, that means Urgan moves up to BE or BF 4 with 30' movement, ignoring the nearby cultist (and hoping someone else gets him, and is within 60' to cast Mind Sliver on Valendra. See what happens...

From the beacon's stand, Anson turns, trying to assess what is real and what is not. He hears a voice from behind him -- he is wary -- but the foe is either invisible or it is another illusion. Either way, he is more effective fighting the dwarf. Another blade emerges from his fist, and again he...

Urgan feels shame that he had not seen that the tree was in pain; that there was new life waiting to emerge. He always focuses on peception, and as a result often misses something of reality. It was abeautiful moment, his strange companion Caer dancing and serving as midwife to the shrub. That...

Round 2. Anson lights the beacon, despite the fight that has broken out about him. He is determined. He shouts out, "There are illusions! Don't trust what you see!"

Yup -- I pulled the trigger. Second round Anson's lighting the beacon and spending a hit die to do so. Round 3 he'll attack again, having dropped the sticks.
