"Well, I'm not much use at diplomacy, but sometimes, other talents are required." Lars cleans his fingernails fastidiously with his dagger as he speaks.

Lars, taking break from his studies, thumps his pitcher on the table. "Great idea! A beautiful wagon, with the arms of Gatepass! And 4 fast horses that we can ride. How about it? I will buy myself the nicest horse I can find."

After a night of wild excess, Lars sleeps for 15 hours straight. He then returns to see his tutor. Lars unashamedly milks his status as a hero to extract every last ounce of magical knowledge from the Lyceum that he can. He also makes sure his pet rat attends all the lectures and demonstrations.

After diving deep below the waves and waiting there for a few minutes, Lars starts to head back to join his friends. As he wearily fights the currents and waves, he slowly realizes what Kirio and Bannock are doing. "Oh. Hrimr." Lars wordlessly helps the others at the grim task. Once it is...

Lars yells at the retreating squid, "I'm from the streets of Gatepass, punk! I'm too tough for ya!" He spins and scans the horizons and sees the huge twister coming his way. "Uh, ho!" Lars waits a few moments to catch his breath before he dives below water again, and heads to deeper ground...

Lars continues to float defensively.

Lars decides to just let the current carry him while he fends off the attacks of the squid. OOC: Fight defensively. (-4att, +2AC)

Lars moves north a little, draws his dagger and tries to hurt the squid. Lars takes a 5 foot step and sets himself to fight defensively as a full round action. -4th, +2 ac dodge bonus. I assume that Lars benefits from the effects of Kirio's Inspire Courage (he is 90 feet away).

OOC: Read the appropriate rule section, but not clear if it is ok for Lars to run/swim all out and move at quadruple speed. (4 x 15 ft = 60 ft) If not, assume Lars moves only 30 feet. (I placed him 60 feet closer than his starting location.) Lars takes moment to take his bearings, and then...

Lars digs deep in his reserves of energy as he struggles against the tentacles.

Ooc: Farewell Hrimr, you retire to the Hall of Heroes. (Unless that green vapour... Anybody read Lyonesse by Jack Vance?)

Lars continues his struggle against the squid.

Lars tries to not panic and tries twisting in a different direction.

Ooc: if Lars succeeds, he swims for the surface. Regardless whether he succeeds or not, he draws his dagger.

Lars, despite the dire circumstances, realizes he would be dead without the water breathing potion. He tries to use the momentum from his kick against the beak of the squid to yet again twist free from the strong, rubbery tentacles.
