Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ambrus" data-source="post: 3929391" data-attributes="member: 17691">[sblock=Cage Rattler]Having spotted the solitary raven and being confident in his obfuscation skills, István slinks from shadow to shadow until he can see it's ghostly outline clearly with his darkvision (approximately 60-ft.). Spying the bird, the whisper-gnome quietly reaches over his shoulder and grips the haft of the sharp-edged shard of crystal he'd pulled from the deep earth while in Thayan bondage long ago. With practiced ease, the wayfarer draws forth his own soul and wills it to flow down into the shard, making it a part of him (imbuing the deep crystal rapier with two power points, +2d6 damage on next melee hit up to 1 minute). István then draws upon his birthright to quell all sound (manifesting silence as a spell-like ability, 20-ft. radius emanation centered on István, 1 minute duration) as he prepares to move.Round one actions: Lunging forward (Hide +23, -5 penalty for moving at less than normal speed) the wayfarer moves with the swiftness of a driving gale as he traverses the ground between himself and the boarding house in a few bounding steps. Then, in defiance of gravity, the silenced gnome leaps up and continues running up the wall as he draws forth his soul shard from its sheath at his back (Moving 60-ft. with the Up the Walls feat while drawing a weapon as a move-equivalent action). Standing overtop the eave where his target sits perched (+1 bonus to hit for being on higher ground) István calls upon the uncanny agility granted to him by his magical fencing gloves (as a swift action) and thrusts the point of his soul shard at the raven's heart (Standard action, skirmish attack with rapier +10, +1 for height, 1d4-1+5d6 damage)OOC: It's my hope that István will succeed in catching the raven either unaware or unprepared for a sudden attack and so will be both surprised and flat-footed when he suddenly runs up to it to attack. Now let's hope that it turns out to be something more than just a roosting executioners raven. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> [/sblock]</blockquote>
