>>5992632>>5992121>>5992078>>5992035>>5992010>>5992003Before you mastered your <Improved Aethereal Form>, your <free Movement> state came with many disadvantages. Chiefmost among them—aside from falling through floor and out of your clothes and the, ah, sex stuff—was that you couldn’t reliably hold onto a weapon. Well, it seems even NOW you can’t, since the impact of the bolo caused you to drop your staff. However, with that athereal form being, well, IMPROVED, it is a simple thing to retrieve it. You hardly need to shift your frequency at all , nd only for half a moment, without so much as dropping your inbuilt invisibility to do so. And so you do—
“There he is!”
--or so you’d thought, anyway.
>10, 7 for the enemiesYou are able to ‘dematerialize’ again, and to dive back before one of Elak-Rak’s lieutenants hurls a spear at where your staff just was, a mere moment ago. Luckily, you are able to retrieve the <Archmage’s Gift> ahead of this, but it gives you an important reminder—to not get cocky, even now. It seems that thought you are utterly invisible to the goblinodis in your current form, any interaction with a physical object is enough for the leadership—or at least Elak-Rak, who seems unusually acute in his perception—to launch an attack. At first you’d thought to startle the hobgoblins and their jade-skinned flunkies with a show of force without inflicting any harm…
“Get the girl! Knife-ears won’t leave without his pet humie, mark my fuckin’ words.”
…But in light of this revelation and that LAST remark, you rethink your strategy. You’re loathe to shed blood or end lives unnecessarily… But the keyword there, as ever, has been ‘unnecessarily’. Sometimes, as you have been forced to reckon with repeatedly, the time comes when it is you or them.
You raise your staff high, and flickering in and out of corporeality, you cry:
“<LIGHTNING BOLT!>”
DC 15, -1 for the staff, +2 versus magic-resistant races.
