Kass soon watched Aria disappear from sight, and as she moved forward Kass softly whispered to herself, trying to be as silent as possible, and soon she disappeared into the darkness, though it was due to magic and not Shar's influence.  Then, all but running, she headed forward into the room, again trying to be as silent as possible, and in that time she heard the whip-wielding woman preaching her twisted words, and in the middle of it there was a smack of two hard objects colliding together, then the woman was screaming, and<em>then</em>crying out for them to essentially smite the 'heretics'.  Eye of the beholder though, regarding whom was the beholder, it seems.<br/><br/>Moving a bit further forward, she turned right and headed up... which is when she noted the half-nude woman, and<em>another</em>half-nude woman.  Based on how they were arranged... how they were blindfolded, the preaching, the...<em>everything</em>... there were more people in here than she'd thought!  She needed to even the odds...<br/><br/>Quickly 'drawing' her trumpet from her bracelet, and took in a quiet, deep breath... and then blew into the trumpet as hard as she could.  A loud, blasting note shot forth, shattering the silence like it was but a pane of glass, causing<em>everything</em>within a heavy range to be wracked with goodness and beautiful righteous music that would hold them in their tracks, which if this worked would<em>tremendously</em>even their odds.  Here's to hoping this worked...<br/><br/>If I am to understand you properly, Kass gets one action,<em>then</em>a surprise round action,<em>then</em>initiative is rolled, right?  If I am wrong, please inform me.<br/><br/>So, anyway, assuming she gets two free rounds (the first one being done as Aria is moving and doing her thing, and the second as a surprise round), the first round will be Kass casting Greater Invisibility upon herself, so that she can be unseen, then Moving 35' West while Moving Silently at a -5 penalty (it's only a -20 if she moves her FULL speed, but a -5 if it's >1/2, and <full)<br/><br/>Move Silently: At 2011-02-10 16:10:14, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a38 Result: 49 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=22633) - 5 = 44<br/><br/>Now, for the surprise round...<br/><br/>Move West 15', then North 15' at -5 MS penalty, then Swift to retrieve her trumpet, and Standard to cast Heaven's Trumpet (DC24 Fort or Paralyzed for At 2011-02-10 16:24:37, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d4 Result: 4 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=22634) rounds), since NOW she can infer and see that there is a circle of women there, which is more than they expected to find.<br/><br/>Move Silently: At 2011-02-10 16:27:29, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a38 Result: 57 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=22635) - 5 = 52<br/><br/>I shall let you handle initiative, as usual ^_^
