I'd probably keep at least one square of distance from the shadow but seeing as how others have passed in front of it with no issues I would be looking straight at it as opposed to looking at it from an angle.

Gonna give Nori a chance to respond and then we'll continue on with the enigma of this room.

I've been keeping up on my phone but haven't had a chance to sit and post on my comp. Feel free to move on as Nori will probably stay by the door and scoff at the drow. A dark elf meddling in a dwarven room and getting herself caught in a sticky situation is poetic in his mind.

*waves at nori*

23:57, Today: Kassadria rolled 13 using 1d20+1. perception.

Let's hope Dale rolls better XD

:( Are we all gonna die? (I assume the worst, with you...)

Please refer to this video for my answer:

Oops! I actually meant to be a bit lower down, closer to Dale. But that's fine, Kass's next step likely would have been to look a little closer at the portals so what's happened there works out fine.

You expect the spellcaster/fighter to make a decent Perception check?  That's just silly talk.

Oh.  Nat 20s help.  Perception: 23 (nat 20)

Heh well played.

Dale, check the post in a moment for your additional PM.

Driftwood, lol. I blame the name generator and my lack of realization.

Kass: I was referring to the top left one rather. She's looking toward the door you came in and can't really turn around to see the other ones. Still want to move toward it?

Aha, then go to that one. I meant to go to the one that Dale indicated.

Oh, erm. Slight problem. I used my waterskin (the only source of water on my person) in the fight.

Hm. So, you're telling me that the heat is bad enough that Kass knows she'll take damage if she just retreats, and thus has to act now that she's close enough?

If that's the case, the only thing I can think of doing (which will undoubtedly make me take some damage) is try to flip the brazier over.

Technically you already are taking damage. Your fire resist is the only thing keeping you from actually experiencing any of it yet. The rest is just mostly dramatic flare.

Ah, I see.

Fire resistance for the win. :D

So, anyone else have any suggestions for what I should do?

I could try ray of frost-ing it to death.  But that might make it explode.  Or I could toss you my water.  Or Gren could try drench-ing it.

All three of those sound like good ideas to me. However, we should consider the possibility that disrupting one side of the room will unleash the other. Would we rather fight firey things or shadowy things? Or can we think of a way to deal with both sides of the room at the same time?

Maybe there's a key brazier on the other side, too.  But you're melting pretty quickly, from the sound of things.  Shout at Dale to cast, if you want, and we'll try to get out of there.

Oh, Strange, it would be so funny if we started looting her while she was stuck there.

I have no problem with that whatsoever.  If she's got magic items or weapons on her it might be best to remove them before a fight happens so she can't wield them against us.

I'd do it, but I don't want to touch her with those runes on her.

On a different note, in the Advanced Races Guide, standard races cost 10-15 racial points to create.  I think I did the teenage mutant ninja turtles in 15.

I just made a Kryptonian.  It cost more than 10,000 racial points.  Just for a land speed that could break the sound barrier.

What kind of level/experience penalty would that incur?
