Wow. Lots of flambé here. Here’s my take on things. I’m thinking back to a 3.5 campaign I played in—one with a very good DM. Social situations did in fact come up with some regularity. (Meeting with the mayor, talking our way out of a dragon’s lair, etc.) My character was imagined as being...

Please note that I'll be on holiday visiting family for the next couple of weeks. So, I may be even quieter than I have been for a little while. (Hariel seems to currently be in a mood to listen and gather information until she has something significant to say.)

"Is there any suggestion in the journal of what we might expect to find at the end of our trip?" Hariel asked. "It seems the only clues we have point to that location, so we should prepare as best we can. Between equipping ourselves to deal with fiends, and determining how best to cross the...

Hariel frowns, and asks "If they have such an item, should we be concerned about protecting our own activities from prying eyes?" "Unless and until we have a solution to that problem, however, I would be happy to look over maps and try to find some clue to the location. Could the name possibly...

No specific questions here. Hariel certainly has some things she'd like to know, but she thinks very much that it will take trickery to get them out of the Rakshasa, and she knows she's never been much good at that. So she plans to watch for cues and come in as good cop, bad cop, or whatever...

Hariel leans back against the door of the opposing cell, trying to look relaxed, with a bit of a sneer on her face. Damn, she thinks, I've always hated this part of the job. She waits to see what the others will do, so she can support their tactics as best she can.

Hariel stands up from where she had propped herself by the wall. "I suspect we can handle it. But be sure to keep yourself safe—it wouldn't do to lose you as well as your father", she said. Nodding to Drue and Oz, she motions towards the door. "Shall we?"

Hariel flips through the pages one more time, then tosses the book to Kahlia. She then strides across to the extinguished light, peers at it, and sniffs a couple of times. Her forehead wrinkles. "Well, that seems significant, or at least very very unusual. But the significance, I must admit...

Actually, I was too busy to post this weekend--my apologies for not mentioning something earlier.

"Thank you, Ava," Hariel smiles. She takes her tools out and begins to work on the drawer. "Kahlia," she asks, nodding towards the unburning torch, "how long has that light been out?"

Hariel moved examined her leg and shoulder briefly. "The wounds look clean, and my movement is not impaired," Hariel said, "but after being bitten, I am sure it is better to be safe than sorry." She looked at Kahlia "Their shape is... a natural condition of their fiendish race, I hope...

I'm sure drothgery has gotten to check out his ECS for Investigate by now, but here's a quick summary for future reference (and my take on it, so drothgery can correct me if he thinks it should work differently): The Investigate feat (ECS, pp. 55-56) enables new uses for the Search...

"Before we learn what the fiend wants us to, perhaps we should learn what we can from other sources", Hariel said. "Kahlia--the rakshasa seemed to be here specifically for your father, and while he seemed upset at their appearance," she said, nodding towards the weapons rack, "he certainly...

Yeah. This is one of the weirder intersections of the rules for subdual damage, DR, and weapon damage types. Without using a good and piercing weapon, these guys don't get hurt by small amounts of damage (and that includes subdual damage.) So, in order to effectively do subdual damage, you...

Hariel, realizing the truth of what Dain says, steps over and begins striking carefully in order to disable the Rakshasa. OOC: Hrm. If they're grappling, they should be in the same square--specifically, Dain should have entered the Rakshasa's square. In any case, five foot step for two...

OOC: Oops. My mistake, though: he posted that before I changed my action to the five foot step (and he is higher in initiative.) I'm happy to full attack from here if he doesn't post again before you want to move on.

Ahh! I knew I was forgetting something... good thing I made that save. If you want to stick with the pure first-AoO thing, I'm fine with that. I wouldn't expect it to be an issue all that often, in any case. PbP combat seems tricky. :) (Actually, I'm a bit surprised you jumped into a...

Just a note that I've revised my action after seeing the map. (Much simpler now.) Just as a note: it simplifies things here, I suppose, if we always use our AoO on the first target that provokes. We are not, however, obliged to by the RAW. If that warrior moves around again I would like to...

Revised: Hariel curses her poor judgement of the area of the silence effect, and eyes the sorcerer warily. She quickly adjusts her position and strikes at the sorcerer twice again as it's distracted by Kahlia on the other side. Super simple today, a full attack sneak attacking from flanking...

Hariel looks around for the most effective way to attack the sorcerer: If she is very close, she nimbly disengages with her current opponent and adjusts position to make a devastating attack on the sorcerer. Otherwise, if she can see any sort of higher ground to fight from near the sorcerer...
