   Spoiler 
  he'll probably try Colour Spray this time. That gives him only 2 Kelgores, which I can tank with potions. Everything else he has is short-range and he can't jump over the gaps, so I win a ranged fight. Bit unusual for Barberration, but whatever works
  course, he may get some scrolls to shake things up...

  How does holding something in your mouth work?  What sort of action is it to put something in your mouth/retrieve something from your mouth?
conversations: Bakkan:
conversations: human
conversations:  you can hold 1(and only one) item in your mouth, which prevents you from speaking. Switching items between mouth, hands or changing the grip on an item are free actions
  
  where is Slide from?

  Nothing comes out of the tent(I'm working on the assumption that opening the tents exit is a move action). If you have LoS on the southern edge of the tent
   
   Spoiler 
  you see the exit open. Beating Hide  (1d20)[ 17 ]  + distance penalty reveals Barberratation in B14. There is an empty vial on the ground
  
  held items if Spot successful
   
   Spoiler 
  another potion, lit bullseye lantern, 3 lit sunrods
   
  
   
  
  
  you see light equivalent to a sunrod emanating from B14/C15 if nothing else. That should be enough for us to not need a LoS check
  
  edit: actually light equivalent to a lit bullseye lantern pointing south too

conversations:  Barberration Turn 2  
  
  no need to spoiler, you'll see me somewhere along the way
  
  swift: emerge from tent into B15, then onward to I15
  free: drop 1 sunrod in I15/J16
  items held: lit sunrod in mouth, in hands a potion, sunrod, bullseye lantern
  
  the lantern is pointing eastwards from I15/J14
  
  If that doesn't give me LoS, I take a partial move to O15, which would give me LoS unless you used Expeditious Retreat turn 1 and jumped to another platform turn 2
conversations: TheFallenOne:
conversations: human
conversations:  You may have LoS, you need to make 2 Spot checks.
conversations: Bakkan:
conversations: human
conversations:  why two? 🤨
    Spot  - (1d20+4)[ 12 ] 
    Spot  - (1d20+4)[ 10 ] 
  
  keep in mind that you need cover or concealment to hide. If I have bright illumination on your square through lantern/sunrods and nothing else gives you cover, the hiding is broken
conversations: TheFallenOne:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ah, my mistake, I didn't notice that I would actually be clearly illuminated from your ending location.  You do not see me from I15, but you do see me once you get to O15.  I am standing in X18 with a scroll in my left hand.  A bullseye lantern sits in W16/X15
conversations: Bakkan:
conversations: human
conversations:  hm, no triggered readied action, curious. Did you cast Expeditous Retreat and now plan to finish me with a point blank Colour Spray or Slide?
  
  Finish move to Q16
  free as part of move: draw sling with masterwork bullet
  drop sunrod in Q16/R17
  held items: sling right hand, lantern left hand, potion mouth
  Free: Whirling Frenzy
  Standard: sling attack on Ro-Gayn   attack  - (1d20+2)[ 18 ]

conversations:  Nah, I was trying to do something fancy that didn't work out.  Good match.
conversations: Bakkan:
conversations: human
conversations:  nice match 🙂
  
  Care to tell me what the plan was? I have to admit, that Slide scroll and probability of you prepping Colour Spray had me quite worried about coming too close to you
conversations: TheFallenOne:
conversations: human
conversations:  That was basically it, lure you in and either slide you off or color spray + scythe coup de grace.  I spent the last round casting Expeditious retreat on myself in order to give myself more movement, but I think I should have gone for a readied Slide instead.  I would have cast Expeditious retreat at the beginning of the first round, but that would have caused the force pane under me to disappear, right?
conversations: Bakkan:
conversations: human
conversations:  exactly, casting it first would result in suicide. Moving onto the proper platforms and then casting it would've worked though, first turn there was nothing to fear from me with the tent closed and my need to drink the Resist potion
  
  I actually would never have come close to you, without Shield or Mage Armor simple slings work well enough. Just stay in the center of a platform to avoid Slide, and be outside Colour Spray range unless you jump onto my platform inside Gore AoO range.
  Still, nice melee repellant when even a beatstick like Barberration doesn't dare to approach
