Viridian Plague--Act 4: The Sleeping Queen

[Erekose13]

Obscurity quickly grabs Lyssa and swims to the surface, her large dinosaur head breaching the surface in a big splash.

(ooc: very cool. What did Whinoah do to part the water?)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Same as last round--the sacred arrow. Like oil and water, the sacred arrow and the evil corrupted ooze stay separate and won't mix, but thanks to the force of the bowshot, the arrow had downward momentum--thus the ooze in contact with the arrow would be partially purified, creating droplets of pure water dripping down from the arrow, but mostly the ooze would part aside for the arrow and then immediately fall back in again over the open space)

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: thank goodness for manyshot/rapid shot or what ever Whinoah has )

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: She has both, actually )

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: Is Lyssa still alive then?)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yes, but barely)

 

[unleashed]

(OOC: The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell, even if the caster makes the DC 24 Spellcraft check to convert it into steam)

OOC: Don't forget Trayah was delaying his action, so as soon as the water was parted by Whinoah's arrow he could have cast his spell (before the water rushed back in). You just didn't give me time to act before you posted the entire round.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Nope--delay lets you act for certain (unlike ready), but you go just after the action instead of before/simultaneous like ready. The water rushed back immediately after Whinoah's shot--it would require a readied action to act then)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Considering a readied action only occurs just before the action which triggers it, that wouldn't work either. Not that I mind the outcome mind you, but if delaying an action wouldn't work (acting on the same initiative, right after Whinoah fires, instead of before as is required by a readied action), it couldn't be done at all.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sure it could--you ready an action to use the spell just before Whinoah's Xth arrow, where X is not equal to 1 )
