"Well then!" the talktative male centaur grinned. "Why yes it does, welcome to Westkeep! You<em>must</em>stay for tea! If I may say so, you're quite a sight yourself!"<br/><br/>The female on his side of the court frowned, and glanced sideways, meeting the gaze of the opposing male, who was frowning the sme way. That male, from his backend fo the court, laughed. "Why, sights? We have some of our own to show you! I think you ought be our guest for quite some time!"<br/><br/>He extended his hands - one, Rose would note, gleaming with a ring almost identical to the two looted from the drow archers, as were the finges of the other elf-centaurs - towards Rose and Aria in an almost universally recognizable gesture of aimed spellcasting, face screwed up with merry malace, as were both females'.<br/><br/>The male centaur flicked a hand, and a small pulse of force burst from each fingertip; they zipped through the air right for Rose. The male opposite the count from him cast a spell with an effect only on himself - suddenly, seven likenesses of the fellow all hopped out from his body, creating a cluster of eight clones. The two females each cast spells with less directly visible effects, although their bare bodies seemed to grow firmer, and their hooves heavier against the court.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria init 25<br/>Centaurs? init 27 (!)<br/>(Rose could achieve 27, thanks to her gloves, but theirs is the higher modifier)<br/><br/>East male - casts magic missile at Rose<br/>19 dmg<br/><br/>- 30' more feet n of tennis court before back wall of house<br/>- tennis court is 35' wide (ns), 75' long (ew)<br/>- 230' between tennis court and Rose+Aria<br/>- Alongside the pebbled path to the tennis court are flowerbeds, hedges, statues, etc. Movement is 3/4ths speed in these squares, similar to certain types of wilderness terrain (although I think Rose's boots negates such effects for her) and these squares provide concealment.<br/><br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">(scroll down for path to Rose and Aria) <br/><br/>- - - - - - - | - - - - - - -  <br/>- - - - - F - | - - - - - - -  <br/>- - - - - - - |- - - - - - M  <br/>- - - - - - - | - - - - - - -  <br/>- - - - - - - | - F - - - - -  <br/>- M - - - - - | - - - - - - - <br/>- - - - - - - | - - - - - - - <br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - - 50' <br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - - 100'<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - - 150'<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - - 200'<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            - - -<br/>            A R -<br/></code></pre>
