Dax wide eyed nods nervously hearing half of what is being said, going along with which ever way he is pointed.

She will voice the goal of taking what we've found and getting out of sight. Nia will cross the chasm (so that she is on the same side as the entrance we came into) and set a grapnel hook on the extreme far edge of the chasm. She will do her best to conceal the grapnel and tie a loop in the rope about 20 feet down. Her plan is to descend into the dark of the chasm and lurk there while the interlopers make their way across. "If this is to work as intended, we will need someone - who can use Far Step - to attract their attention and lure them across the chasm. Once they are well across, those luring House Magissa can use Far Step to bypass them, get across the chasm." Gegren quickly bundles up the shutdown automaton and gives it to Nia. If needed, he'll help figure a way to strap it to her back."I'll be the bait, and I'll try to lure them into the library and remain out of sight enough to be able to Far Step back, but that's not teleportation, they'll see me if I do it wrong." [bss: the plan here is to try to lure them towards the library, and then a combination of Hedge Magic (to move a torch as if I'm continuing down the hall) and Far Step (to try to use the sudden darkness to conceal a Far Step down into the pit to where Nia is hiding.). LMK what rolls you want for that and how many actions you judge it to be.]_______________________________________________ Emerald Flame mailing list -- emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org To unsubscribe send an email to emerald-flame-leave@lists.incorporeal.org _______________________________________________ Emerald Flame mailing list -- emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org To unsubscribe send an email to emerald-flame-leave@lists.incorporeal.org
