I could use some puzzles here. I get those all the time when trying to figure out what the original electrician had done in the walls.

So I'm introducing a concept here: Edge Of Detection (EOD).
Those characters who have dark or lowlight vision, or spells or abilities active that extend or enhance detection for a spot/listen are the ones who unless otherwise stated will alert fellow party members to the presence of something the moment they detect it. That first party member to see or hear something establishes the EOD for the party, having the furthest range.
What this means is that when the group is creeping through a place and the parties EOD collides with some feature, that feature's distance from the party will be determined by the character who can see/hear the furthest. In the IC thread, I'm assuming that Scrag's darkvision is the first thing to detect the thing at the base of the cliff. Scrag has established the EOD of 90' for the group unless he decides to not automatically alert the others or someone elses senses excede his range. Make sense?

Good, this makes my job a little easier, since I don't have to go look through and figure out who's got what and how far it works, I can just say the group is at the EOD, whatever distance that happens to be, and then you guys can decide whether to move in from there or whatever. Wouldn't be a big deal on a tabletop game with a map, but when you're dealing primarily with text it's a different ballgame.

Just glad to make it easier!

by the way, for the record:
EOD does not mean Explosive ordinance disposal.

I'm fine with puzzle or darker tone though i'm only 16.
oops nope! 42 alas.
but as far as puzzle are concerned, I'm compeltely lost already as to what is happening around us, so...
is it that Grok player has dropped and you introduced the scene to get rid of the character, or is it part of the scenario??

I am not sure what he is doing about that, but I do know that Leif seems to be willing to take over our healer's duties!
