And when I say pretty bad, what I mean is really bad. My highest primary skill for both of the challenges so far is +1, so you'll excuse me if I try and find a way to "get out of it" and still gain a success  for the group. I can ret-con if you decide you don't want to allow what I am going to do.[/OOC]Boris is far from being an athletic type, his thin frame supporting the crushing weight of his heavy armour through force of will more than brute strength. But he is quick off the mark, moving away from the cave before anyone else has been able to move. And despite being the last guy to be able to nimbly navigate the hidden obstacles littering the rapidly darkening forest floor he delves into the undergrowth. The mantle around his neck begins to glow, outlining the spidery pattern of its intricate weave and quite suddenly his movements change as he gathers pace. His movements change, becoming quite impossible, suddenly scurrying over fallen logs and bushes rather than leaping over or under them as if he was a long legged spider. His movement is fuelled by that unwavering belief in his own powers to push his distance further away from the source of looming death while the magic from his cloak sustains his spiderlike agility. All the while he mutters to himself over and over again "We shall never speak of this."[sblock=Actions] So this is what I'd like to do:Head Start! Crimson Blade (Iaijutsu) Free Action when TCO rolls initiative: Shift 2 (I know we didn't roll initiative, but it's a skill challenge)Minor Action: Spidersilk Mantle: TCO gains Spiderclimb speed 5 til End of TurnDouble move action: Running! (+2 movement) so Spider Climb to navigate forest with Auto success 14 squaresIf that is not enough to convince you TCO should gain an auto success then he'll blow an AP and spider climb another 7 squares for a total spider climb movement of 2+14+7= 23 squares (115 ft; that's 35m in 6 seconds wearing full plate armour through jungle terrain, with poor light; and as we are in a skill challenge "the turn" might even represent a longer amount of time! So even further!) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> What do you reckon?
