Post is in progress, albeit slow progress.

[HOUSE RULE] In the interests of reducing housekeeping, I am removing the range-limits on Darkvision and Ebon Eyes. Both of those are as far as your normal vision (subject to things like walls in the way). True Seeing is still capped at 120 ft., however (because it's a much more powerful ability)

Also, for the first round, and for the first round only, I will allow you to affect the entire party / anyone in the party with buffing spells. (It's 'as if' you had cast them before you split up). This applies only on the first round, and you are still using your first round's actions, with all the limits involved.

Also, just so everything is clear, the only Shadowy Darkness on the map right now is that little area around the Eye. Everywhere else is Total Darkness.

(I'll be making a little key and fiddling around with the colors later tonight, but I just don't have time now)

Also, Spot Checks being asked for are regardless of your ability (or inability) to see due to darkness. If you can't see because of darkness, then no Spot will help you. If you can see through the darkness, then you don't need Spot.

Folks, now might be a good time for some of those everburning lanterns and torches I made for various people in the early parts of the game.

Charles has one (an everburning torch) from back at game start.

Since I have had PC requests, I will let you assume that, since it was dark when you arrived, you can have an Everburning Torch or some sort of light out with you when you arrived.

Just state that you have a torch or something out and make sure you've got a free hand.

If you haven't stated as such by the time next round rolls around, then we are assuming it isn't out, and getting it will require normal "Get an item" rules from the SRD.

Is anyone else getting acid flashbacks of that scene from "The Rock" where all the Navy Seals get butchered by heavily armed dudes standing on balconies above them...

No? Just me then....

Oh yah, don't forget you guys can fly. 60' movement, or 40 if you are in heavy armor (and maybe medium too?).

Thanks to Chaz's haste, those movement speeds are 90 and 70, respectively.

Alas, no.

Have fun with the kitty!

Yes I bought my catnip chainmail +3 just in case.........

So apparently I will be taking over control of Kage's cleric for this battle until he returns.

By my estimation, the hostages have about another 3 rounds before they drop unconscious, then another 2 rounds after before they're dead (This assumes that the darkness is the only threat to them). The mist makes healing them all at once problematic (Don't suppose anyone is packing a Gust of Wind spell to disperse that?).

Also, if the elemental could somehow get shoved back a bit, dropping the chandelier on it would be awesome.

Ok Im struggling with grappling rules, someone tell me if this is wrong:

I know I need tomake an opposed grapple check against the kitty.

But:

If I win I'm not grappled and get my normal full rounds worth of actions?

If I lose Im grappled and can only do the stuff you can in a grapple, but does that include trying to break it again?
