[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6840385, member: 6696971"] Due to her awkward earthen hand and the tenuous grip on the Winter Fey staff, Saerie is left with a hard choice the moment she propels herself from her rope seat. Her momentum is sufficient to get her to the icy chute and slide down it to the peat bed below. However, the staff shifts in her hand and threatens to fall down into the murky waters of the reed swamp below (and down to whatever thing lurks within). This is a split-second decision with no time for deliberation. What is Saerie going to do? 1) She can retrieve it mid-air, but that course would cost her all forward momentum, thus depositing her in said reed swamp...but with the Covenant of Winter safely in tow. However, this would obviously also make a hell of a splash, alerting the warlock and whatever inhabits the waters of the reed swamp. 2) She can lose Covenant of Winter to the murk of the mire (perhaps trying to recover it later), but make it safely and silently (enough) to the peat bed. Regardless, her crusty, cracked earthen hand will have fully recovered its coordination and normal aesthetic. [HR][/HR] Though Otthor cannot see the figure, he can easily make out his obsessive mumbling. Maybe 40 - 50-ish paces away (out of Near range). He hasn't reacted to Otthor's encroachment (we'll wait and see about Saerie, pending her decision). The peat bed is extremely dense and firm. It may very well make for a sufficient foundation to build a standing structure in this swampy domain. It is also just pliable enough to make for a nice surface to stealthily pad along. No sucking mud, splashing water, or foliage to brush up against. [/QUOTE]
