Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: His sword is still on the ground there. That is okay, right?)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Has he got time to pick it up and still get away from the wolf? If so can he get far enough away that it may not see him?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: If he picks it up, he can go around the corner and the wolf will barely not be able to follow and attack. However, it will be hard to shake the wolf so much that it can't even follow at all, no matter what he does. The only chance is with the double move, and even that isn't a sure thing)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: So you're telling me, that even if he gets out of sight of the wolf, it will still be able to follow him unerringly?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sort of. The reason a single move around the corner is no good is that the wolf can move up to the junction, see him on one side or the other, and use the second move to go that way (though not attack). A double move has more promise, as if the wolf doesn't hear him, it might not pick the right way to go. Moving silently would help with that)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Which is exactly why Baeleth wasn't trying a single move. Hmm, just checking, but that wolf has been around 9 rounds right? (4 rounds of attacks, 4 rounds escaping from under the crates, and 1 round moving towards Baeleth).

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yes indeed it has. So double-move fleeing?)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Yep, time to flee and leave his blade behind.

*Baeleth takes a quick serious of moves, ducking around the corner, heading around and back to circle to Verra's position. Fortunately, the wolf doesn't hear which way he went, but unfortunately, when it picks at random, it picks the right way. Thus, it is bearing down behind him, as he makes another double move around a corner and reaches Verra, forcing the wolf to move as well to keep up, though now it is right next to him.*

OOC: Didn't you say earlier he could reach Verra in one round?
