Totally offtopic, but ... do I recognize an "Interstate 60" reference? Love that movie :)

In other news, I have been totally consumed by Real Life in weeks past, to the point of barely being able to lurk these forums and see all the action I missed. I guess I owe Malek an apology for such a sudden dropout of mine.

[Malek Deneith]

Actually I never saw or heard of "Interstate 60". I was inspired by a magic 8-ball findable in Fallout 2, which in turn was based on actual real life ones.

Edit: And no apology necessary, real life happens.

- "Alright... Thray. Let's see that party of yours then" - the man relaxes a bit and follows Isirius with dwarves coming after him.

What - no handshake and introduction?!

Draw steel, men! :)

[EDIT]: And ladies, of course.

How much can Berak see from where he is standing? Can he see that they are coming?

Is Berak naturally hidden in his position or does he have to use the stealth skill to stay unseen? Actually, it would be nice if there was some kind of guideline like "if less than 20% of the square you are in is visible to the opponent, (s)he/it can't see you", so that I wouldn't have to keep asking things like that all the time.

Does the door open outwards of inwards? Because I'm wondering whether we could slam the door closed after the human enters and hold it closed, so that we could off him before the dwarves can enter.

[Malek Deneith]

Probably not see without peeking which could make him exposed - he could hear the footsteps coming though. They can't see you otherwise, but they will once someone reaches -A0. Also there are no hard and fast guidelines - we're not working by Rules As Written (henceforth referred to RAW) but on the spot rulings and common sense hence you'll have to ask each time for this kind of situations. And outwards.

Although the rest of the post was OOC fluff, the question is no less serious: he declined to shake Isirius' hand and give him his name?

[Malek Deneith]

I'll admit I kind of missed implications when replying to IC yesterday, I was getting a bit sleepy by that time. Name got retconned into previous post. Still no handshake though - good bluff check made him a bit more trusting of Isirius but apparently not trusting enough yet :P

What - no handshake and introduction?!

Come on, man, you can't expect every random mook we kill to have a name and a backstory...

[LuckyDee]

No, but a little bit of common decency... :)

[Malek Deneith]

Derp, reverted the comment on lesser number of prep rounds, my error.

[slave]

Was that your planar ally I saw behind you? Why did it disappear, is it shy?

It seems unlikely that we would be able to avoid combat. How do we explain the table full of body parts? It was Bortek's doing. The fact that he had time to do set it up seems to contradict the fact that we saved them, since we are recent arrivals.

To Malek: I'm assuming that I can hear them talking, now that they are getting closer.

[LuckyDee]

You're assuming they and Bortek are on the same team...

[Malek Deneith]

@Slave - I'm going to say they'll be close enough to hear after one of those two preparation rounds you've been given.

Also I'd like for Berak and others to state their actions for said prep rounds - or state they're not doing anything - before making any serious progress in IC.

[slave]

I'm going to assume that Barak has not heard any conversation yet. He will wait at the door until he hears something. He will then decide what to do. Ultimately, I'd like Berak to learn that Isirius wants to try a peaceful approach, so that he could relay Isirius's intentions to the others.

[LuckyDee]

Again Isirius walks back to the previous room, keeping an eye out for the others, ready to send a few soothing thoughts at each of them at the earliest available opportunity.

Right on top of it.
