[sblock=ooc]Mal, K12 is in the Grasping Shadows zone. I'm guessing you didn't intend on entering it, since you can't move as you wanted to if you're slowed. It appears that there are two ways to get to N9. You can slide to L12 or M12, draw an OA from the husk as you move to N9 and then Quarry and Shield of Blades. Or you can slide to L12 or M12, shift to somewhere in the 11s, and charge to N9, which gets you there with no OA but also no Quarry. Let's say you did the latter. Hey, look at that! Your attack hits for 12 damage, thanks to the charge bonus. If you think I'm being too nice, you are free to roll the OA.
1. I was lead to believe that vulnerability is not affected by reductions (i.e. it is always received in full. Essentialy, vulnerability 5 + insubstantial = vulnerability 2.5.
Your words and your math seem to be at odds. My understanding is vulnerability first, then insubstantial. If someone has evidence to the contrary, please let me know.
*Sighs* That reminds me that I need to beg for a judge again.[/sblock]
The remaining hound snaps at Kendrick's boot, but a swift kick discourages it.
One of the floating creatures drifts into the shadowy field, and small parts of it seem to flake off as it does so. Once again the beings lash out with flickering tendrils. The one floating near the house finally manages to graze Veruzak across the temple. The one near the rocks reaches out and caresses Bell with a tendril, a gesture as disturbing as it is excruciating.
[sblock=Bell]As your mind is ravaged by the seeker's, several images flash into your mind. A coastline, the town, a series of caves. You also realize that these "seekers" are not independent entities, but the psychic projections of something else. In addition, you get the unmistakable idea that this link is bi-directional, and that flashes of your past are being presented to, something...[/sblock]

*Counts the squares* "...9, 10, ugh, 11."
Seeker 26 moves forward one lousy square into the Grasping Shadows zone, suffering the appropriate effects, and attacks Veruzak, missing. Seeker 31 does the same, hitting for a phenomenal 5 psychic damage. Seeker 72 misses Atlas. Seeker 74 crits Bell for 11 psychic damage.
Rolls.
