Not just because it was my character involved either. Game flow will get awkward if we lose too many of the Dragonmarked/cursed folks. Though Aethon is admittedly safe on the sideline, Xarxes and Jules are prey fans with all that implies, and Synys has real life striking pretty often. I will also say giant mermaid is more appealing than kraken.]<br/><blockquote><div><cite>pacattack25 wrote:</cite>(OOC: someone PLEASE tell me how having a bow [and not the arrows] enchanted with flaming actually does ... anything?

Thus freed she immediately puts some distance between her and the kracken using the technique she displayed earlier against the Karrnathi zombies. A pulse of energy travels across of bloated body and she's gone, slipping through a short lived portal to the library doorway. Once at the relative safety of being through a doorway and among/behind other people Linda takes the opportunity to finally strike the kraken effectively via a Magic Missile spell.<br/><br/>Undeterred by the kraken's resistance and unnoticing of the new backup, Linda's undead continue to rip and tear at the kraken's tentacles.<br/><br/>[Linda uses Dimensional Slide to move to the library door (counts as 5 foot step).
