The wizard was still a regular wizard when Alex and Anahita were struggling to free themselves and I hinted through IC and OOC in direct message that they still had some time to act before the wizard can fully reach them. In the last post the wizard became a huge tentacle monster as tall as the ceiling and charged at Anahita and Alex, after which I explicitly asked in OOC thread for group 1 to tone down amount of narrative actions per post and zoom in on the time, or ask when in doubt. This was because I knew that otherwise players will like to roll one thing and then immediately roll Hack and Slash while it is the nature of some encounters of DW that Hack and Slash may not even be permitted every time. Such was the case with Xia and Moxephone's encounter with the huge naga, though this is now a first such monster for group 1. It may take some getting used to them now that we're still trying things out, but my wish is to try have a variety of encounters, some more puzzle style and some fair old hack & slash that can be won through pure force.<br/><br/>Remember also that the acrobat move by itself is not a passive supernatural speed at everything. It may sometimes stretch that way when you're defying danger in a situation where jumping or some other gravity defying comes to play. It's not gonna give Sparrow supernatural run speed in every situation however. It would however let him scale the monster! The problem is my intended narrative speed here. By the time Sparrow does all that he does in your post the creature would have either done something to Anahita and Alex, or they would have escaped, which will no doubt have consequences in the flow of the scene that I'd like to address first.<br/><br/>You were kind of watching the action unfold in front of you in the large laboratory.<br/><br/>I'll be more specific next time, though knowing myself I might forget so just shoot me a PM ;D I'm usually online so answers are swift.
