The water is heavily obscured.Climbing the shaft requires a DC 20 Athletics check without a rope, or DC 10 with one. There is currently a rope hanging down the shaft, anchored to the wooden plug.[/sblock][sblock=Controlling Gelik and Pezock]Companion NPCs in CombatAny PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Gelik to use Charm of Misplaced Wrath, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.If all of the PCs act in a given round without giving any actions to a particular NPC, I will have that NPC take one non-offensive action. This will most likely be Second Wind if it is needed and available, and movement or Total Defense if it is not. (It won’t be necessary for PCs to spend their own standard actions to have NPCs use second wind.)[/sblock][sblock=Gelik]GelikHP 26/26, Bloodied 13, Surge value 6; Surges 6/6AC 15, Fort 13, Reflex 15, Will 17Speed 5, gnome traitsSkills: Bluff +8, Arcana +12Hypnotism (standard; arcane, charm, enchantment, implement; ranged 10, one enemy)Attack: +6 vs. WillHit: Choose one: the target uses a free action to make a melee basic attack against a creature of Gelik’s choice, with a +4 power bonus to the attack roll; or, Gelik slides the target up to 3 squares.[o] Charm of Misplaced Wrath (standard; arcane, charm, enchantment, implement; ranged 10, one enemy)Attack: +6 vs. WillHit: Gelik slides the target up to 3 squares.
