Everything is difficult terrain. The rocks are even worse than the ship.

Pharodeys jumps off the cart (almost falling on her face again) and moves toward the bridge. Surprise round: Move to K36. Pharodeys Female Human Living Statue Shaman 3 Initiative: +0, Passive Perception: 20, Passive Insight: 20, Senses: Normal AC:18, Fort:14, Reflex:15, Will:16; Resist 5...

You need to have line of effect to a conjuration in order to maintain it.

Scarmiglione nods slightly at Damen and walks up to the guards. "What's going on here?" he asks in a self-important manner. "If you'll excuse me, one of my former companions is in there, and she's rather ill, so I should like to retrieve her, if you don't mind." He makes as if to walk past...

It would certainly be possible to soften things up a bit with AOE effects cast from outside, but you don't have line of effect to the entire interior, so you probably wouldn't end up doing all that much damage. And you can't really see what you're aiming at; it's very bright outside, and the...

"Oh, well, that explains it," says Papolstaanas cheerfully. "I'm just happy that we made it out. I'll never eat another mushroom or talk to another caterpillar again! U-unless he talks to me, first, be-because that would be rude, to be addressed by a caterpillar and not say anything in return...

As the adventurers back out onto the rocks, the flickering movement of the interior shadows becomes unmistakable. If there is to be any further exploration of the wreck, something very unfriendly will have to be dealt with. You can back out completely if you choose: the shadowy things, whatever...

I've actually retired characters five times, in this manner: 1st slot: One-Who-Waits (deva shaman) > Livia (human seeker) > Scarmiglione (kenku rogue|sorcerer) 2nd slot: Papolstaanas (warden) > Papolstaanas (battlemind) > Papolstaanas (avenger|battlemind) 3rd slot: Goldenhorn (minotaur...

Scarmiglione regards the armed guards thoughtfully. "I'd like a look inside," he murmurs. "But if we get rid of the guards, there may be some sort of panic. Perhaps you're right--let's hear what the commandant has to say."

Pharodeys returns to the cart, climbing awkwardly into her seat. She regards Tyris thoughtfully, perhaps noticing his unusual silence for the first time. Thoughts enter his head, unbidden. "Do you not speak? You can communicate with me in this manner, if you have no objection, when I am near...

Everyone should at least attempt the Perception and Insight checks (I know it's a pretty slim chance for some of you).

Pharodeys retraces the woman's path, her eyes closed (although it is difficult to tell, as she has no visible irises or pupils). "This is the way she came," she says softly. "The grass knows her feet. The wind knows her hair. She was stumbling. The twigs know the pain of her passage. Let us...

Takahaan stands in the middle of what was the ship’s main cargo hold. There are bones, broken crates, and other refuse scattered about. There is a hatch most likely leading to another hold below this one, but it is stuck--the lower deck is probably filled with water. Noriaki stands near the...

"That would be unwise," says Pharodeys. "We shall bring her. She may recover; she may not. If she does, she will no doubt explain herself in due course." Pharodeys walks stiffly over to the trees that the woman emerged from. She examines the ground and listens to the whispers of the wind in the...

Ishirou climbs down after the others. Ishirou athletics check 13(1d20) +9 = 22 As you climb down, you can see that one of the masts broke during the wreck, and fell in such a way as to be wedged tightly in the rocks. It looks to have blocked off the hatches leading belowdecks, which may have...

Is the woman armed? How is she dressed?

I hope that that isn't the case. While I can't honestly say that I'm overjoyed when I retire a character and lose XP, I think that some sort of penalty is reasonable, and the existing penalty is not that onerous. I think it would be nice if simply revamping an existing character were easier...

It's a pretty old wreck--you're not certain whether what remains of the structure is still sound--but it's more or less intact and upright, with a gaping hole in the side that you can climb into.

Actually, as someone who's been hit fairly severely by the retirement penalty several times, I think it should be kept. The fact that you end up with slightly more XP in a corner case isn't an example of brokenness. (If option B is actually better in this instance, go ahead and use it.) "Broken"...
