Now where am I?! (Moore)

[Anastasia]

"Strange," Ilsenine agrees, "There's no helping it, a maze is meant to be explored."

The souther tunnel leads you to a narrow hallway. It goes 30ft, and at 15ft there's a passage to the west and at 25ft there's a passage to the east. At the end is a dead end, but a stone triangle and a stone dot decorate the waters.

As you go into this room, you hear a faraway whistling of the winds.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns to look over at the noise. He makes a mental note of the rock line and then these rocks.

"Do you think they're meant as markers so the people traversing don't get lost?" Moore asks as he flies over, he tentatively tries to reach out to a rock -- both to test how solid the water is and to try and reach it as well.

"I suppose it would be cruel to expect someone to remember something that looks... watery." Moore adds.

[Anastasia]

Your sharp hearing lets you note that the wind comes from the eastern passage.

"Only Queen Titania may know," Ilsenine admits, "Who can predict the mind of a slaad? In my captivity, the devilish indoctrination even managed to get in several digs at them, calling them lunatics and insane. On that point I fear the devils were not ill-informed."

Which stone are you touching, the dot or the triangle?

[Nephrite]

The dot in the middle.

"You know, I've never really reflected on our journey there." Moore says offhandedly as he glances towards the eastern passage as he fiddles with the water.

[Anastasia]

You tap the dot and the dot glows. At the same time, the eastern tunnel begins to glow faintly as well. The dot crumbles away, though the eastern tunnel begins to glow.

A moment later, the triangle glows and crumbles away. Behind you a humanoid shape of pure water appears - you know this as a water elemental. A medium one, but it glows with an eerie light as it attacks both of you.

Init.

Queen Ilsenine has motivate dex+10 for an aura. Do you have one as well? Multiple marshal auras for this don't stack, so the stronger one dominates.

[Nephrite]

His default one is the same thing, so his is +12.

Init is Moore (48) > Ilsenine (42) > Elemental (14)

Open.

[Nephrite]

Moore tilts his head back and forth. How best to handle this...

He strums his harp once and lets out a deafening shout at the elemental, then he flies back and slightly away from Ilsenine so he doesn't get her caught in anything!

Greater Shout via the Harp

[Anastasia]

There's nowhere to fly back to, since you're at the end of a dead end. Does that change your action?

Placeholder.

[Nephrite]

Oh I just meant in general -- I figure we're in a room and she's like, say in the center with the elemental on the wall, so I just meant like 10-15 feet to her right, if that makes sense. If that's possible.

[Anastasia]

The southern tunnel leads you to a narrow hallway. It goes 30ft, and at 15ft there's a passage to the west and at 25ft there's a passage to the east. At the end is a dead end, but a stone triangle and a stone dot decorate the waters.

From the description of the area. You're at the end of a narrow hallway with Ilsenine, there's just not much room to maneuver like that.

[Nephrite]

Oh I see, that's fine, he can just stay nearby. If it comes after him he has tricks.

[Anastasia]

Okay, does using your harp provoke an AoO and if so, is it one you can Concentrate away?

[Nephrite]

That is a really great question, I don't know. This is what the description says:

The harp may also be used at will to cast Greater Shout, at Caster Level 15th, by expending one use of user's bardic music allotment. This is a Standard Action.

So maybe??

[Anastasia]

Checking the SRD, it does not.

> roll 1d20+17
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 23 > [d20=6]

The shout vibrates the elemental all over, water splashing from it as it shakes.

At the same time Ilsenine turns invisible, before a flurry of tiny, invisible fists pummel the elemental.

Yes, I'm aware this isn't optimal. She was caught off guard, she's not nearly as seasoned as all of you in combat and dungeoneering. Normally, I'd let this stand on it's own merits and be inferred by her actions, but I figure I'll save people commenting on it.

The elemental's hit further, water knocked away from it. It stands there uncaringly, before a great blast of pressurized water comes from its chest at Moore.

> roll 1d20+18 touch AC Moore
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 21 > [d20=3]

Touch AC?
