This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"Let me try to extinguish the candles with my bow," Rissthil says as he looks over and around Smeads and Gareth, "watch out backs while I try."

======================

OOC: If no one is this area objects, Rissthil will step forward and try to shoot the orange and green candles off their perch in an attempt to extinguish them.

The group starts to clear the room north of the armoury on Runch's initiative. Ylarum uses a rag to light the fire by the southern door of the room, which suddenly roars to life. You can hear for the first time the creatures on the other side of the door shriek with pain as the flames lick the shaking door and reach the ceiling of the room. Smoke starts to fill the room pretty fast.

As Ulas Xegg leaves the area, he turns to the north and checks out the pile of rubble north of the red lantern. It almost completely obstructs both passage and line of sight to the area beyond. One thing that Ulas notices is that the ceiling above the pile is completely intact. There is a small crack there between the huge block of sandstones that runs east to west, in effect cutting the architecture of the corridor in two different parts, but it is a few inches wide, at most: no way this kind of rubble, with pieces of lumber, huge chunks of rocks and so on could have made it into the corridor from there. Besides, the pile seems well, a bit too neat. Like the rubble was brought up there and piled up, rather than then result of an accident.

Meanwhile, Smeads finds another rock and rolls it along the ground as far as he can. It passes the lit orange candle with no trouble. No super-heated stuff is projected from it as the rock rolls past it. It stops short of reaching the green candle.

Gareth starts to step forward but is stopped by Smeads as he looks for the effect of his little experiment. Rissthil the proposes to blow the candles by shooting at them with his bow. Does he attempt it?

Rissthil quickly draws, notches, and lets fly two arrows in quick succession, the first arrow for the orange candle and the second for the green candle.

==============================

OOC: The first arrow hits AC 2, and the second arrow hits AC 3 (didn't roll damage).

Ylarum cackles madly and yells "THEY DIDN'T LIKE A LITTLE CLEANSING FIRE, DID THEY?"

Smeads, assuming you are still standing in the frame of the door, make me a saving throw vs Aimed Magic Items as well.

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

"Look Bug, pretty fire! Huh, I'm hungry. Hey brudder, is it time for lunch? I'm hungry." Tudd says, as he leans his shield against the wall by the door and starts to pull his pack off and dig around for a tidbit to eat.

spinning towards Tudd,stunned to silence seeing him conversing with bug while taking off his shield while the conflagration grows...all I can do is shake my head for a moment...

"What's going on in there fellows?" Othos asks.  Then, after hearing the creatures to the east shriek, "Sounds like the others were finally forced to face the creatures!"
