[sblock=BB,Theroc]Yeah. It's really more like: add a square for every 2. Since the actual distance is about 1.41 or round to 1.5, you can adjust by requiring three moves to go two squares diagonally, and you get pretty close. In any case, it's just to much of a hassle to keep track of in the game, so they ditched it. I'm glad they did, much, however, to my mathematical chagrin (Dude! The spellchecker got that one. Wow)[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I know you guys are getting impatient, but technically, WD has ~24 more hours to post, so let's give him the chance.
For my part it's easy. I'm laid up with my back, so I'm lurking around, on and off, all day long.
BTW Tenchuu, don' t be too sure this encounter is over

I know. I'm not being critical. I'm just liking the game and hoping the pace can keep up at better than 48h per post. But, I certainly understand life priorities.
For the record, I never said I thought it was over...just that I want to finish it, preferably alive.

[sblock=OOC]OK. WD's time is up, so I'll post for him. I'll likely be waiting until Monday to update status since WD is not likely to post until then, but here goes[/sblock]Usually wanting to lead from the front, Riardon finds himself at the rear of the pack. The sinking feeling is made even worse by the grievous woulds that Talon has suffered. As he moves forward, he also notices that Talon’s wounds are healing quickly, but not quickly enough to withstand a second attack from the drake, even if he gets in a good defensive strike.
[sblock=Actions]
Move: Double move to G16, standing over the dead drake
Minor: Inspiring word
Target: Talon
Effect: Talon gains 1d6+6=10hp[/sblock]The drake screams in agony as he’s impaled by Talon’s spear. As he writhes dying, the party turns toward the stairs breathing hard and angry beyond belief. The man at the bottom of the stairs is equally angry, “And just what da yooou thank yooou’re doing dawn heee’re. Cahn’tchee see yeee’re nat wonted? Gooo bock ta wheeere ye came frem!” The drake on the stairs hisses angrily through bloodsoaked teeth, obviously disturbed by the loss of its brother. The handler looks beat and crestfallen, but his eyes glare with a desire for revenge.
On top of the curses that follow the bandit’s initial expression of frustration, the party realizes that these two are not alone. Behind him, several others have been hauling chairs, benches, ale pitchers and other larger items, and stacking them in a pile so as to block the passageway. At the back of the room, you can’t see, but you hear a table being dragged across the floor.
As the bandit is finishing his tirade, a man steps forward to the bottom of the stairs, for whom it seems out of character to be spending time in such a foul-smelling and unkempt place. He is well dressed, well groomed, and, seemingly, well mannered. He lifts his gaze to address the party, projecting his voice like a stage actor above the cracking and grating of furniture.
“I see that you are not exactly the night-watch, so would you mind my asking who or... what [obviously this man has seen neither a shifter nor an orc before]you are, and why you’ve decided to invade our place of meeting?” Though the others continue the work of stacking the pile, he holds eye contact with Talon and Fenwick, as though he’s willing to wait all day for the response.[sblock=Status]

"We're looking for Varquat's wife's necklace, which he dropped in here," Jin said. "We entered through a door by Stark Brewery, in Daunton’s Commons."
Jin leaned over toward Riardon to get line of sight on the injured human bandit. "And you, you okay with them throwing you to the wolves like this. These people are willing to sacrifice you. Seems dishonorable to me. Tell us what you know, and we can end our quarral."

I wasn't expecting such a good roll, but with no bonuses, I wonder if I was even able to beat a DC.
Diplomacy Check = 17

The well-dressed human looks quizzically at the voice coming from behind the shifter, "I'm not sure I know where Daunton is, and I don't know anyone named 'Farthat.' As for the necklace, we come by lots of trinkets in our line of work, but I don't seem to recall a necklace. Have any of you seen a necklace recently" He turns his head from one of his henchmen to the other in a mocking imitation of sincerity,"Perhaps if you describe this necklace, it might jog our memory."
The workers continue to pile things together in the hallway.
[sblock=Jin, Talon, Riardon]You notice that they're not exactly hanging the bandit and the drake out to dry. There's a hole in the pile that seems big enough for them to get through 1 by 1, and it seems that it exists out of design.[/sblock]
