I'm not sure what happened to the table, but something wasn't right. And I'm the one who had to clean it up. The life of a serving wench is definatly taxing. But as I wiped up the spilled drink, I saw a new oddity appear before my eyes. The captain now stood with a halfing standing on his shoulders, a cruel smile on the little woman's face as she held a Kusari-Gama to his throat. I swear I saw the words "nice try" appear on her lips as they stood there for a moment, neither one moving."[sblock=OOC]Vertexx: There are a few problems with your post.First: Initiative is required if you want to engage in combat like that. Even if you justify a surprise round, you can only take a standard action in that case.Second: The fact that you had to make a spot check indicates that this is a statted NPC. This means you cannot determine the results of your actions against it. Just something to keep in mind.Third: Ring of Sequestering requires a standard action to activate.Fourth: Ring of Sequestering functions as per invisibility with exceptions. This means you reappear after the first attack (though theoretically you stay immune to divinations)Fifth: You can't expect to buff and turn invisible without a reaction from the halfling. Especially since you delayed, meaning the halfling still gets to act before your attacks go off when it moves up next to you.Sixth: If it is a DM NPC, you actually do need to make attack and damage rolls. If its not an NPC, you kill it. Any character I introduce with any amount of detail will probably be a DM NPC.If not for the fact that some of the rules were a bit off, good post in terms of writing value though.Now for the simple fix. Since anything you write technically happens here, I'm adding a little flavor to the encounter. While the halfling moved in next to the good captain, she switched herself with a lifelike duplicate, an actual living body with no soul, so not detectable by True Seeing, and yet not a living creature. This duplicate is currently in your HHH Vertexx. She then hides and reappears next to the captain and initiative will take its course with whatever you want to do. I will warn you that her current turn in initiative has passed and she hasn't taken anything other than free actions, so she probably has something up her sleeve. If you want to initiate diaglogue here it is appropriate btw, since the serving wench who is observing the encounter is so close by. These are rare exceptions to the no dialogue rule, but will help roleplay a little. I'll let you guys know when they come up.[/sblock]</blockquote>
