Colgrave surveys the way ahead and swiftly comes to the conclusion that the known quantity of the flame jets is almost certainly preferable to the possibility of stumbling onto another of the dreaded green tiles. Hurriedly he steps across two of the red ones to the momentary sanctuary of another...

Halcyon wonders if he might have cause to regret having disposed of his cloak, as the fire elemental's flames somehow manage to take hold and start working their way up his legs. Happily, he manages to brush them out promptly enough before they can do too much damage. Steeling himself to keep...

I'm good to go! Wow, that's a squishy group. ;)

"So long," Heather says in a bright and cheery tone that positively drips with sarcasm. Her bird swivels its head to watch the half-elf leave, and squawks something that sounds very much like intelligible speech - although it's not the Common tongue. "Thanks for breakfast, you insufferable...

Regarding Luinnar's earlier shopping query: yes. Feel free to do any shopping you need to, we can assume you did it before coming to see the Professor or that you nipped into a convenient shop on the way to the Lightning Rail. Regarding Grys's 'at least a month' prediction: depending on how...

Colgrave stands up and pauses for breath, and with a wave of his hand he slides his bag along the tiles to catch up with him. That done, he braces himself for the push onwards. Move: Stand Up Minor: Mage Hand on the bag at J4 Standard -> Move: slide the bag to O3. Next round: Step to P3 and...

The professor gives a sigh. "How do you propose I hire the carriage from here? Am I to devise some new magical ritual to remotely contact each of Hatheril's cab drivers, inviting them to bid for my business, and then magically transfer payment to them? Just find a conveyance when you get there...

Colgrave grimaces with frustration as the gas pours out once more - the necessity of keeping his mouth shut and his breath held prevents him from giving more vocal expression to his feelings. Shaking his head ruefully, he takes the plunge once more, stepping forward onto the red tile and from...

Colgrave surveys the way ahead with a sigh, coming to the inescapable conclusion. "So much for making a safe path. It's impossible. There must be some way to deactivate the whole hallways remotely, but who knows if it even still exists. We're just going to have to brave it." Deciding to take...

Coughing, Colgrave hastily whisks the bag to a stable location and then retreats to a safe spot where he can wait for the noxious fumes to clear. "Ugh... this requires some rethinking." Whoops! Seems I made some faulty assumptions about tile functions. Sorry about the confusion. Did the entire...

"Superb," Colgrave remarks with satisfaction as the purple tile rolls into view. "Hmm, I'll need to move up a little..." He beckons the backpack to a position just in front of him and, raising it up once more, dumps it on the blue tile at his feet. 1st round: Move Action to get the bag into...

The professor sits back, puffing his cigar and doing his best to maintain a poker face, but it's obvious that Alexia is swaying him. "Well, er - that is to say - hmm. To be precise, if you will allow me a moment's pedantry, only one of the group failed to return - a second merely chose to...

Colgrave breaks into a grin. "It appears that we're in business," he says cheerfully. "Now, let's see if I can poke a gold tile without it chewing up my belongings." I'd like to try sliding the bag one square to F4, lifting/dropping it onto the gold tile, and then snagging it and lifting it...

Colgrave frowns. "Maybe with a little more height..." the backpack rises up to the ceiling and drops with a thud onto the tile. Cool. Taking 10 for an Arcana result of 22.

Multiple rounds is fine by me - I kind of figured that would be the case anyway, since it will presumably take some time to make the necessary adjustments to the pack's weight. As long as other people are happy chilling out for a round or two while Colgrave tries this, it should be all good...

Fyrm's right. Burst 3 extends 3 squares in all 8 directions from the origin square, so each side is 7 squares.

Colgrave quirks an eyebrow at Thalin as the bard breaks into his spontaneous poignant ballad. "A sensible enough sentiment," he says finally, his tone neutral as Thalin states his intentions. "Certainly this is no profession for anybody possessed of both a healthy self-preservation instinct and...

There are always going to be people selling obsolete items - when you get a +2 Longsword, you no longer need your +1 Longsword, so you sell it. The game expects you to be selling at 20% in those circumstances; if you sell all your old stuff at 100%, you get more money than expected and end up...

Halcyon rises to his feet with a low rumble of irritation. Finding only one enemy within reach as he regains his footing, he fixes the fire elemental with the binding force of his unspoken challenge and lashes out at it with a sweep of his sword. The weapon glows momentarily with a fierce...

"Very little," Farrow says bluntly. "Sharford seems to be an unremarkable logging town, and this person Derslin is not known to me." Likewise, none of the group have heard anything of note regarding either name. Farrow smiles indulgently. "Ah yes, it must be time for you to launch into...
