Her tone didn't indicate anything particularly lascivious was being said, at least not on her part, but she still spoke with the same playful, teasing cadence she'd used when conversing with the others.<br/><br/>When the scuffle between the shadowy figure and their hulking foes came into view a broad grin broke across the little elf's face. She was on the ground in the blink of an eye, pausing just a moment to pat her horse on the neck and glance back up to Jean, saying "Careful dear, Kelytha's not trained for fighting."<br/><br/>With that she was off, following behind Sampson as she mumbled under her breath. Her fingers traced out arcane runes as a pale green glow blossomed around them. She stopped short, letting the enthusiastic mercenary charge ahead as she thrust a hand forward, completing the arcane incantation. The green glow vanished from her hand and a similar eldritch glow appeared on the ground beneath the ogres, washing across the ground like a wave, leaving a thick coating of slippery grease behind it.<br/><br/>She giggled when Sampson's first swing missed the ogre by a mile, shouting "You know dear, I hate to tell you how to do your job, but I've heard it's much more effective if you aim for the fellow you want to hurt!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kiira will be stopping about 30 feet away from the group and casting Grease, the cover-a-10-foot-square-area variety, beneath one or more of the 3 ogres ganging up on the two cloaked strangers. It's a little hard to be precise about placement without a visual aid so I'll leave the exact target area to Togashi's judgement. She'll be trying to get as many as the ogres as she can without greasing their opponents (or Sampson!), but if she's only able to hit one she'll choose whichever is closest to the party.<br/><br/>Oh, and while I think Jean is whispering during their conversation Kiira isn't trying to be all <em>that</em> quiet, so if any nosy elven speaking folks are listening in let me know and I'll give you Kiira's half of the conversation. If any nosy non-elven speaking people are listening in feel free to let me know as well and I'll send you a bunch of gibberish in purple<br/><br/><br/>Here's a handy dandy copy of the grease spell from the SRD (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Grease) for reference.<br/><br/><strong>Grease</strong><br/>Conjuration (Creation)<br/>Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1<br/>Components: V, S, M<br/>Casting time: 1 standard action<br/>Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)<br/>Target, or Area: One object or a 10-ft. square<br/>Duration: 1 round/level (D)<br/>Saving Throw: See text<br/>Spell Resistance: No<br/><br/>A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).<br/>The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.</div></div>
