To Prove D&D Exists for Echolon

Quote from ArwensDaughter >>

Elyona watches Toots and Tommary head off to inspect passageways with some trepidation, not about them, but bout what will happen when it comes to be her turn. In the back of her mind she can hear the taunts of her playmates, calling her out for being clumsy.  She tries to divide her attention between the two of them, on the lookout for trouble. 

 Elyona rocks easily on the solidified muck while keeping an eye out. She sees Toots dance her way to the other side of the chamber easily.

"See? Just do like that little girl did. How hard could it be? Then again, you didn't take dance lessons."

If he can do it comfortably from his present perch he'll do the following, and if can't he'll stealthily pull himself onto the ledge to not overpenetrate the passage.  He'll take his [spell]light[/spell[ coin and toss it further into the passage to extend his vision.  *OOC I know light can't be stealthily travel tossed down a passage, but I'm hoping if anything sees it they won't necessarily see where whoever threw it was positioned.

stealth: 11

If my findings are mundane I'll give a verbal report down to the group.  If there's something prompting me to advise caution I'll message Elyona.

Tommary throws a bright light into the hallway which bounces loudly, rolls, and comes to a spinning clatter after about 25 feet. The light reveals a turn to the right about 50 feet down the hall.

"I got 50' of corridor that turns right.  What you got, Toots?"  Tommary calls out.  He'll keep an eye on "his" passage till he hears from the group as to next course of action.

Toots sends her glowing pebble down the passageway to see what she can see.

OOC: 6 damage recorded.

“Hold on a moment. I’m looking. You know it doesn’t make sense that the gnolls would have to climb these walls every time they came down here. Hey Elyona, Taslyn, Hawksley, Oerthe, why don’t you four check down there and find the secret passageway or control panel or whatever we must have obviously missed. Especially you oh fire retardant one, since you’ll be safest.”

Toots' pebble rolls down the dark hallway illuminating the walls on its way. Toots spies figures standing in the dim light becoming progressively more detailed as the pebble finally settles among several skulls littering the floor. Just beyond the creatures she sees an iron bound door. Two wights, eyes aglow, grip their swords and advance. 

ROLL INITIATIVE!

Initiative roll for Elyona:  7

OOC:  It will be this afternoon before I'll be able to check in again; and this coming week is the busiest work week for me of the year, so I may not be able to post quite every day.

 OOC: No problem, let me know general tactical action tree, and we'll go with that as needed.

Initiative: 10

Oethe will use Turn Undead on his turn(DC 14 Wisdom saving throw).

OOC: Toots didn’t roll the pebble, she had it floating along held aloft in a Mage Hand.

“I see dead people! AND THEY’RE COMING RIGHT FOR ME!”

Initiative: 25

OOC: Do we get another nifty map of the area? And how far up exactly is Toots from the caked surface of the mud below?

Tommary initiative 22 (if I entered this wrong let me know).

I'll be on and off over the day doing, while I'm painting a room.  If things get intense my intent is to use the suspension stones/platforms as the direct route to Toots and the Wights.  First move would be my 30 (or 15 if we're talking difficult terrain), hold to see if Toots engages, then use sneak attack with bow assuming I can target over her height or just fire cover arrow if she disengages) and repeat until I'm in melee range, basically using sneak attack on whatever's occupied by party members).

Looks like I used the auto roller correctly no need for DM or party to confirm my initiative roll.

 If you reference the map below, you will see that they are FAR away.

 You are 50 feet above the floor. The floor is not solid rock, just a floating cake of dirt. So if you fall, it shouldn't do as much falling damage. The steaming mud might hurt a bit though.

Well, assuming that Toots will be acting first, I’ll put her turn in now. She will cast Hypnotic Pattern (DC 15) on the two Wights, then climb as far back down the wall as she possibly can with her movement. Dex (Athletics)  18

Unless Hawksley checks in with a higher roll, looks like Tommary would be up next.  If Toots spell is a success I'm presuming I'd catch some sense of the razzle dazzle magic being worked from my vantage, so wouldn't want to break the Hypnotic Pattern, at least not at this distance, so Tommary will dash and cunning action dash over the suspended platform(s).  If the party ops for the the other entry way as opposed to pressing this direction, I can catch up with my mobility.

Not sure if this requires anything skills check wise, etc. beyond I'm presuming we're treating the suspended structure as difficult terrain.

OOC: I have to say, having the Weapon of Warning talk like that is kinda wild. It never would have occurred to me to have it be like that. I always narrated it is a tingling, like a magic vibrate function, or a silent alarm type feature. I’ve even done it as an audible klaxon-like noise. But actually “He buddy, look out” type of warning is pretty alright. But actually having it smack talk you while you do stuff is a whole next level kinda thing. 👏 

*OOC: I like the sentient persona for Elyone's blade, though am glad it didn't uplift my sabre as well, preferring the tingle for my "operator."  At my "table" I have a character who's got a blade inhabited by an agent of Fraz-Urb'luu, Demon Prince of Deception.  I basically impersonate the Man in Black Jesse Venture did in a classic X-Files episode, "You have the audacity to declare SEEING is BELIEVING!" and is just constantly exasperated at its wielder accepted perceived reality over phenomenological nihilism.  The party _hates_ it, the owner announcing "I draw the blade" usually resulting in an out of turn sequence chorus of "aw sh!$, here we go again <everyone's screen eyerolls>."
