Claims to be an ex-gladiator who won his freedom. A natural charmer.</em><br/><hr/><br/>"Damnation."<br/><br/>Certain tactical realities dawn on Victor, watching Cassidy advance. It didn't take a genius to realize that the light from her ioun stone didn't extend as far as it ought to in the unnatural darkness – and that anyone who stepped close enough to be seen in its light would be close enough to strike at her. With her firearm, Cassidy wouldn't even want to be on the front line, and ideally they wanted any goblins stopped before they could reach her or Edan.<br/><br/>Victor couldn't carry both a torch and a spear, and even if he could, he'd be stabbing into the darkness; if any goblin was close enough that the torch illuminated them, they'd be too close for him to use his spear effectively against them.<br/><br/><strong>Double Move Action:</strong>Victor moved to catch up with Cassidy, shifting his spear to one hand as he pulled out an unlit torch with the other.<br/><br/><strong>Free Action<sup>1</sup>:</strong>"Load that thing while I light this torch?" Victor suggested, nodding to Cassidy's firearm as he set his spear aside against the tunnel wall.<br/><br/><strong><sup>1</sup></strong>Free action is predicated on the idea that the darkness persists throughout, and that they still can't see clearly by the time the double move ends. If they can see clearly at the end of the double move, he drops the torch and shifts both hands to threaten with the spear.
