To catch up, Aria hopped onto the table and dashed down it, leaping clear from the far end and timing it right to phase through the greathall doors for a drifting landing back in the marble foyer chamber. She dashed up around the nearer marble staircase, catching up to Rose at the second floor double doors, as it happened, right as the vampire was about to drift through;s he supposed she could've passed it if she'd liked.<br/><br/>Phasing through with Rose into the hallway, they found the two elf-maid stone golems once again, standing still but vigilant, and now in more central positions to give themselves more obstructing positions and better views at the junctures of the long hall and its stair-alcoves. The two creatures surged toward the girls as soon as they caught sight of them, ignoring the vampire which drifted diagonally across and down the hall.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Edited post about when you replied so you probably haven't seen: originally had the suit removal time as 1 minute, then realized that was just (light armor) and not necessarily 'outfits', will figure 2 rounds and have Aria following. (The 2 rounds is pretty arbitrary, you may have another idea.)<br/><br/>On 3rd round, vampire moves into room, and (just before that) Aria double moves for 70, using Extreme Leap to get an extra 10'. It's skill trick to (as a swift action) add 10' to a move by jumping as part of it. (Might be of interest to Rose come to think of it - skill tricks are from Complete Scoundrel and cost 2 skill points apiece, similar to learning extra languages. If you like / don't have CS I can paste some that might be of interest to her. OTOH since she is the faster mover and teleports maybe that one wouldn't be of too much interest to her.) The check itself she can take 1 on (mod +9) since the hall is enough space for a running start.<br/><br/>60' would be the space of the double doors - would 70' put her in the room (ahead of the vampire's 3rd turn where it moves in - but she delays then to follow it.)<br/><br/>Retriggered initiative with golems (they're waiting to attack if they see the girls again or figure out where they went, which I figure cancels out with our 'surprise' of moving in - a 'no one's surprised' situation)<br/>Aria initiative 14<br/>Golems initiative 2 (lol)<br/><br/>Was counting rounds up to this point to pace the other actions and count down durations: if the girls triggered blink right before moving in, they had their surprise round (2), two regular rounds (4), then two rounds of the vampire moving and Aria stripping the troll (ew) (6), so the blink would end after their first round with this new initiative (they would have it on this round,and it would end just before their actions on their 2nd round). Rose has 5 rounds on the Rage from this point.<br/><br/>Or Rose, while easily keeping up with the vampire with single move actions during the two rounds of my last post, could have dismissed and restarted her blink (to refresh its duration) with the spare standard actions.<br/><br/>Oh, and in case the central 'e' (the magic mouth statue) in the map is misleading, what's spotted so far hasn't suggested that statue is a Creature / golem, I'd just map marked it for reference.<br/><br/>Floor 2<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">                ~ ~ <br/>              ~ ~ ~ ~ <br/>            ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~<br/>          X X X X X X X X             1        <br/>          X   ~ ~ ~ ~   X             2<br/>          X     ~ ~     X             3<br/>          - . . . . . . -             4<br/>          X             X             5<br/>          X             X             6<br/>X X X X X X             X X X X X X   7<br/>X * . . .
