Jin can't see through the cloud and has no idea what's going on, so he just continues waiting.

Turning to face the less than visible archer, Chou-Zhen shouts (in Sahudese, paying no particular attention to diction or fine points of grammar): "Why ain't you dead?"

He flips his leather whip in the general direction the arrow came from, simply hoping to feel the presence of a body to give him an aiming point.

(OOC: How much longer must we remain inactive in order to receive the benefits of recovering mana?)

OOC: well, recovering fatigue is recovered 10 minutes of resting, if you have no fitness modifiers.
a battle is fought second by second. so, anybody who opted out to rest, would pretty much be out of the battle, or pretty much gain nothing, during the battle. it would seem..

OOC: Correct, though if you have Recover Energy at skill 15 you gain a point of spell casting fatigue in only 5 minutes -- and with Kho Khilana's cakes, that becomes two points.  None of this would affect physical fatigue, of course.

ooc: Right, so it only takes 300 rounds to recover FP instead of 600, and you get 2.

OOC: I wonder if Kho can summon a snickers, cos the rest of us waiting, shoulda grabbed one. xD

ooc: That was funny, Iskander.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 18):

A faint thud comes from the area the arrow came from.

Straining to see what's going on from his hidden spot, Iskander finds through the smoke, and shadow, he cannot. OOC: failed perception by 1

In reply to Iskander (msg # 20):

There is a distant sound of tramping from the far side of the gas.

"More trouble coming, I think, and this cloud will not last much longer; everyone be ready to strike like fury and lightning.

"Kho Khilana, are you well?  I thought I saw an arrow strike you."

Ales continues to wait, look, and listen, feeling slowly energized by the mana from the area leech into his body.  He hears the noises, and curious about what they may be, Ales becomes dilagent and tries to figure them out.

(OOC: Perception roll passed. (13 on skill 13.  I am trying to find out what all the strange noises may be.))

Airis moves to the edge of the cloud near the wall and in the shadows, waiting for a target.

In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 24):

The tramping soubds came from the far right exit, and are now
 accompanied by swishing and clicking sounds.  The mist is
starting to move!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 25):

"Do we need to wait here until this stinking cloud crushes the breath from us?"

OOC: Ev'rywhere I hear the sound
Of marching charging feet, boyyyyyyyy....

"We need wait until Chou decides to tell us where to go," Jin said. "After all, it isn't as if time is off the essence. Not when the enemy has endless waves of disposable idiots to throw at us."

"Everyone prepare.  They come, and my spell is ending."

"Let's hope that giving them time to regroup and prepare was worth whatever this delay bought you." Jin ducked behind the doorway, weapon ready, most of his body behind cover.

Iskander listens to the others from the shadows, watching the entrance from which the sounds were coming.

Ales studies the area as the fog starts to dissipate and looks for any aid that would be beneficial to the group.

(OOC: Tactics (12) roll passed with an 8. GM: Is there any place we can corral the enemy fighters or create a choke hold and essentially slaughter them?  Otherwise, would my casting of Fear or Mystic Mist be a help or hinderance to the group?)

Airis stays in the shadows hoping they will move by her.

(ooc- not sure where the enemy is in relationship to where I am hiding)

OOC: ditto

In reply to Iskander (msg # 34):

The room is filled with yellowish mist. you cannot see anyone clearly in it, and the mist is not dissipating - it is moving toward you!
