What chance do I have, he wonders, knowing that he's bound by human limits. He thinks of all that's happened recently, and he realizes that the boys, the bandits they met on the way here, will only make it if there's someone to vouch for them. And only he will do that. He has to make it, he realizes. He won't accept failure. He follows in Lief's steps, doing what he can to leap forward as the stairs crumble beneath them. He finds himself teetering on the edge as the stone floor falls away, the tower being torn asunder by the waves from without, and Acamar's orbit from within. He sees one last gap between him and relative safety. Once outside the tower, he knows they can deal with the water. But within? It's only a matter of time until stones collapse on them, or they're swept away, or worse... pulled into the orbit of the corpse star. He's about to leap out past the tower walls, to an outcropping of rock that juts above the waves outside, when he sees Starn floating in the orbit of Acamar. With little time, he draws one of his star fletched arrows, and fires it at the wizard. It thuds harmlessly into Starn's pack, and then he vanishes. He reappears several yards back, above Vorn. The vigilante dives from the staircase to the rocks outside as Starn drops to the landing behind him. He hopes the wizard can make the jump! Acrobatics r(16) + 8 = 24 vs. Group check DC 18. SUCCESS 2 out of 3!!</blockquote>
