OUT OF CHARACTER
Updated the map to correct Prost's position. He doesn't see anything of interest there, just a mirrored dead end.

Assuming I can't get a shot off at D3, If Pat rules, I can. I will make attempt... to be continued, maybe. Oh, I checked twice...1124 :lol:

 

Prost comments, So Fluffy where do you think he is at... waiting only a moment for Fluffy's response Prost lets a bullet fly to where he thinks the doubleganger is.

Round 8 Continues

Lola waits to follow Worrel...

Round 9 Begins

Worrel waits to follow Tex...

Acting on Ahm Shere's information, Cyrius steps forward and thrusts his mind blade twice into the area at the end of the corridor. He makes contact with nothing.

Tex steps to 1023 and scans the corridor ahead of him for any hint of invisible creatures or signs of more of the hidden walls that come up from the floor.

Worrel follows Tex.

Lola follows Worrel.

Ardrea steps up behind Cyrius and cackles to keep up her protective hex.

Prost guides Fluffy back toward Cyrius. He notices nothing unusual in the area leading to the door, then comments So Fluffy where do you think he is at... When Fluffy growls in the direction where Cyrius is stabbing, Prost lets a bullet fly. The bullet bounces off the mirror at the end of the hall, making a spiderweb of cracks [pesky 50% miss chance].

No one sees any doppelgangers. Ahm Shere reports that the creature remains in 1225 and seems to be doing... something weird... waving its fingers?

OUT OF CHARACTER
All of the blue lines on the map are walls lined with mirrors.

 

ACTIVE EFFECTS
Feather Token Whip: +10 BAB, 1d6+1 nonlethal, free grapple attack (with a +15 bonus on its combat maneuver checks) if it hits; 27.3 minutes remaining

Bless: +1 morale to attack and +1 to saves vs. fear, 5.3 minutes remaining

Protective Luck on Cyrius: Attackers must roll twice and take worst result, ends on Ardrea's turn in Round 10

2. Tex - longbow readied, 64 arrows left

You entered the warehouse for the second time here (just about one year ago real time!). It's been about 36 minutes game time, after accounting for a few minutes before the feather token whip got activated.

Ardrea will continue to communicate with Ahm Shere and relay any invisible opponents. She will cackle to keep up the protection on Cyrius. Should a location be identified. She will command the whip to attack that spot.

Round 10 Begins

Athena, guide my hand, Cyrius beseeches the goddess as he again thrusts twice into 1225. The first finds nothing [pesky miss chance], but with the second, the point of his rapier pushes in and skewers something, delivering damage both physical and psychic [14 hp damage to D3]

Tex steps forward. His bow is still out.

Worrel moves past and beyond Tex, before pausing to determine which way he should proceed.

Lola steps forward and whispers Worrel if you pass me back your wand of cure light, I can heal you up a bit while you stay on point- I am nearly out of spells, want to save my 2 heal spells for a combat emergency.

Ardrea continues to communicate with Ahm Shere and relay any invisible opponents. She cackles to keep up the protection on Cyrius.

Keep on guard Fluffy; we'll get him! Prost loads another bullet and lets it fly at the space in front of Cyrius. He is rewarded with a satisfying clink when the missile bounces off something invisible [5 hp damage]

No one sees any doppelgangers. Ahm Shere reports that the creature in 1225 remains there.

OUT OF CHARACTER
All of the blue lines on the map are walls lined with mirrors.

Yes. Hint: if you want a bigger view of the map, right click and choose "open image in new tab" (or something like that, depending on your brower, I imagine).
