A world's support

Gimme a quick init check, Tryll? You'll probably beat it in init and go first, but it's not quite a slam dunk.

[Nephrite]

You get +15 to your check!

[Yuthirin]

I argue this should be a surprise round. No way were they expecting the door to just stop being there.

[Anastasia]

Look, just roll the init. If you win it this becomes moot. If you manage to flub it we'll come back to that.

[Yuthirin]

[blockquote]Rolled 20d20+24 : 11, 3, 17, 7, 18, 12, 17, 6, 10, 20, 7, 9, 15, 6, 11, 16, 5, 13, 5, 8 + 24, total 240[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

That...does not look like initiative.

[Yuthirin]

Too many d20s. Oops. There's a 20 in there though. I'll take it. Surprise round. Faces melted.

[Anastasia]

Okay, in that case first roll is the one we go with - which is sufficient regardless. Okay.

Also, since time magic's a no-no in setting and I know this power's come up before, what did we agree on for how it works? Purely academic here since it doesn't matter, nothing's interdicting.

You catch sight of a green ooze of some kind, filthy - and nothing more. Whatever it was, it's utterly obliterated by the blast, leaving behind a pocket of air before the great, oozy mess beyond can be seen.

[Yuthirin]

You never mentioned you had an issue with it. Bring on the maruts.

[Nephrite]

"Weird, it was an ooze on ooze." Moore says blandly. "Great job, Tryll, I always forget you can do that."

[Yuthirin]

'And that's that.' Tryll says, throwing up a wall of ectoplasm in place of the doors until they came back. 'Everyone forgets I can do that until they see the light.'

[Anastasia]

I know we had a conversation about it, I'll see if I can dig it up later. Suffice to say time magic = no in the setting due to setting reasons. Power can still exist, the flavoring of it just changes.

As everyone there stares at what happened," Tryll is exceptionally deadly with that," Miranda agrees, "Explosively."

[Yuthirin]

"EXPLOSIONS!" Calleigh enthuses.

'Sort of. You know how positive energy is good for you until it isn't? It's like that, only all at once.'

[Nephrite]

"Too much of a good thing." Moore says with a nod. He looks out towards the ectoplasm to see if he can spot anything else coming in the short term.

[Anastasia]

Miranda shiveres at that. "I've seen that happen."

Perception, Moore.
