[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 2579686, member: 16739"] Lucas makes a quick pass with a small crystal over his eyes. The crystal vanishes and he knows that he can see as well as Sirius in the dark now. But the view is unchanged as the sun continues to shine down from the brilliant blue autumn sky. He then begins a much more complex ritual. He intones words of power while he focuses his perceptions on a spot before him, willing into existence a locus for his vision. Meanwhile Donnybrook and Erethinol begin making their careful way out of the tree line and through the talus field at the bottom of the slope. They are careful to keep large rocks between themselves and the cave entrance as much as possible, but the slope is very exposed. [sblock]Hide checks (with -4 circumstance penalty): Donnybrook rolls 13+15-4=24, Ery rolls 13+9-4=18[/sblock] As they climb, Ery suddenly crouches behind a rock and hisses [COLOR=Teal]"There!"[/COLOR] She points to the left side of the cave's wide entrance and Donnybrook just makes out the top of what is unmistakably a helmet. Its wearer is mostly obscured by the ledge on which he stands, and from that angle he clearly can't see the approaching adventurers, but if he moves forward they might be spotted. [sblock]Spot checks: Donnybrook rolls 7+14=21, Ery rolls 20+11=31! For that roll you get a chance to act before they spot you. :)[/sblock] [COLOR=Red]I also made Spot checks for Sirius and Girble, but given the greater range and the fact that I rolled lousy, they don't see anything.
