You described it as Hide, but then called it Leather, but I assume the first one was correct?
Bye
Thanee
Correct, as requested on your wishlist.
Cheers PDR

I just called him - he's at work for a couple hours yet - yes pls, move Kali to the intersection and, if nothing is stopping him finish his move toward the east where the kid's calls were coming from. Thanks!

Bit of a sticky point here, since we transitioned directly to combat before [MENTION=6680999]Blutspitze[/MENTION] really took Kali over. [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION] normally runs Kali's out of combat perception checks as though he were in Aspect of the Soaring Hawk. I'd pretty much established that Kali always shifted to Aspect of the Cunning Fox once it was obvious that combat was immanent, but in this case we hit combat directly from scouting mode. So it seems likely that Kali would have been in Aspect of the Soaring Hawk, but I don't think we've ever established a precedent for this kind of situation, and I have no idea what Blutspitze wants to have as a precedent.
Unfortunately, it is a very relevant question, because the +2 bonus to speed from Aspect of the Soaring Hawk happens to be exactly enough to allow Kali to move and charge the creature without spending an action point.
Of lesser concern, has Blutspitze picked a theme yet? I can think of multiple themes whose abilities would be very useful in this situation, and at least some of them would have been among my top contenders had I been picking a theme for Kali. Assuming a theme is going to be selected, I think that decision should be made before we learn too much about this combat--or delayed until after the combat.
Finally, regardless of which stance Kali is in, he's unlikely to want to change it during this round. That gives him a free minor action, which he could potentially use to apply one of his two doses of poison. If he's in AotSH, then he should be at the doors, and would have more information about whether it's worth using the poison before charging. If he's in AotCF, he can move into the room and get more information before AP-Charge. Either way, that's another decision I don't want to take away from Blutspitze (although if the creature is undead, he's unlikely to want to use poison since most undead are immune).
I think we want Goonalan to make a ruling on which stance Kali is in, and then either provide more room description based on Kali being at the door or on Kali moving into the room (M:26 looks about right). Then Blutzpitze can decide about poison. Whether or not we should wait on that description until Blutspitze decides on a theme--I have no idea on that one.

Kali is in Soaring Hawk, and no Theme till the end of the combat, he can therefore move another two squares for his first Move and then... over to you. (Edit) Or rather over to me again, more description coming IC in a moment.
Sorry I though Blutspitze was in... anything amiss?
