Hollister's fireball explodes around the ball of light, but when the flames dissipate the ball remains. It returns fire with another ray of light, but Hollister dodges while he moves up the ramp. Hollister shoots another fiery burst, and this time he destroys the ball of light.
Plavin, Korrin, and Rashelle ignore the ball of light and continue running up the ramp to the third floor. The floor is unlit. The rows of storage lockers merge with the darkness beyond the range of lantern light. The group runs across the third floor to the ramp up to the the fourth floor, and then up again to the fifth.
One of the balcony doors on the fifth floor is open. Plavin, Korrin, and Rashelle run onto the balcony. They see the impostor Rivereye on the roof of a building adjacent to the depository tower grounds. Lit by the fires burning in the city, it's obvious he's really an elf. He's obviously fleeing, and is 45 feet away from you when Hollister catches up.
Torrent and Liiros loose sight of the faster party members when the two are only on the third floor.
"Wait!" Torrent says.
"This could be a trap. Anyone could be hiding in that darkness." She slows.
"And there should be other guards here, too. Something isn't right." OOC
I sped things up a little bit. I'm still figuring out the best way to handle certain situations in a
pbp environment, I guess.
Every PC except Liiros are on the fifth floor (top floor) balcony, with line of effect to the rapidly fleeing Rivereye impersonator. Liiros and Torrent are paused on the third floor, near the ramp up to the fourth floor.
