As Chay glanced at his map, most of the way down one of the near-vertical channels, and Cersei looked down beyond him (with a stealthy Koh lurking about, watching their rear but staying close), the wizard saw a flicker of movement on the other side of the Guard; something thin and wiggly snaked around the bottom edge of the shaft and shot toward Chay almost as if it had eyes on the tip.  Which, given it looked like the tentacle arm of some strange Night Plague beastie, might have been the case.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Chay was glancing at the map while in mid-climb, so he couldn't notice.  Cersei was surprised enough by its sudden appearance, and its alien behavior, that she couldn't react instantly; the tentacle had time to shoot up and wrap around Chay's ankle before anyone could do anything.<br/><br/>((the tentacle had surprise; Chay was hampered by the fact he specifically declared he was looking at the map at that point, and he was blocking most of Cersei's vision until it was too late for her to react.  All that has happened is the tentacle moved in and grabbed hold of Chay's ankle; it hasn't even started to pull yet.))<br/><br/>((What I want from you folks is a declaration of an action you intend to do in this round.  This is essentially our first combat.  Therefore, remember that each thing you try to do decreases your total die pools when you get to rolling.  So keep it simple.  I'm also suggesting we wait for Kite to post a declaration before I decide what I'm going to have him do.  I intend to play him hopefully true to form, but I do want to give him the chance to post before I do so.))
