Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

OOC: DM_Matt what does the stake/pyre look like? Could Timrin reach at least the witches foot from the ground or must someone scramble up the stacked wood?

I know we are running out of time but a bit of a plan is forming...

There is very little brush, but a stone wall a few inches high. This is probably used for bonfires under more typical circumstances. He might be able to touch her foot, but not without being noticed by the gaurds and the crowd.

"Maggie, do you have an invisibility spell, greater invisibility would be better?", Timrin desperately blurts.

"Helm has granted me two resist energy spells this day. Perhaps if I could approach the girl unseen and deliver some protection against fire, they would have to let her go or face the wrath of the crowd."

"Of course if I am wrong and she is evil I will face stiff penalty. It is a risk I am willing to take."

OOC: Getting up there and casting a spell would attract attention regardless of me being invisible or not so I would cast it discretely somewhere back and 'discharge' it when I reach her. From the SRD...

Touch Spells and Holding the Charge
In most cases, if you don’t discharge a touch spell on the round you cast it, you can hold the charge (postpone the discharge of the spell) indefinitely. You can make touch attacks round after round. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates.


A BIG question remains, Is this considered an attack? If she were any ally that knew me I would say no. But I must quickly convince her to accept my spell. Touching her and turning visible right there in front of everyone would be a major disaster.

It is not considered an attack, because Resist Energy has the (harmless) tag in the save and SR entries. You still have to find a way to get there silently, although between the rowdy crowd and the speaker, it may not be an issue.

OOC: I'm willing to take my chances with the move silently. Does Maggie have an Invisibility?

Yes.

Timrin and Maggie go out of sight, she makes him invisible, and he casts his spell. He goes in from behind the procedings, and maneuvers to where he can touch her foot. He has to go in front of her to avoid getting very very close to the guards, who probably have much better spot and listen checks than the guys in the crowd. He touches her foot, and the spell is effective. As he does so, the leader suddenly looks right at him, then looks back to his work. Timrin thinks the leader saw him.

The leader's fireball begins to hover on its own, surrounded with a thin green glow. The glow fades, leaving nothing but the occasonal green sparkle in the flames.

"Judge, cleansing fire!," he shouts.

The ball shoots towards the witch, and her entire body is quickly engulfed in flames. She cries out in agony. She survives the first round, but will likely not survive the second.

Meanwhile, Kayls tells the others:

The tunnel goes that way (pointing). If we assume they are underneath, waiting in the chamber, some or all of us could use magics to transport ourselves to the area just beyond the open cavern below. This could provide a tactical advantage.

Would Alethia's teleports be able to do this? Maybe she and Murdoch could do as Kaya suggests.

OOC: Aaaahhhhh!! we're screwed.

I assume this wasn't a typical fireball as I wasn't blasted as well? Can you describe how she has been affected? Is she enveloped in flames? If she were to be moved would they move with her or remain behind?

Basically, Timrin's thoughts are this: the deed has been done and he has been seen. His cover is blown. If she is evil, he is already screwed. If she is good, he needs to save her. Might as well save her and HOPE she is good. It can't really get any worse.
