GM can ignore all. End has initiative and actions.</em><br/><br/>For the year he had already spent there, Ahji reflected, could have been used more constructively.  More experiments with fire, and how things react to fire.  That people tended to die after being set on fire was somewhat unfortunate, but necessary.  He'd still  be free to go around lighting fires if that damn constabulary hadn't gotten him when he was basking in the glow.  It's not like they'd miss the dozen or so humans who died screaming in the church he'd carefully set on fire.  They breed like rabbits anyway.<br/><br/>Craning his neck back, he stared at the ceiling of his cell.  There really wasn't much to do most of the time.  The fights broke the monotony nicely, but he'd seen early on the guards' response to overt magic, which mean he had to keep most of his abilities under wraps, and the mostly barehanded nature of the fights was further problematic.  He preferred to have something sharp to stick people with, and beating knuckles bloody just didn't have the same elegance to it.  Oh, he managed all right, but it was a chore at times.  He certainly wasn't the strongest or smartest person in the prison, but he was fast as all hell and he had enough presence to browbeat most lowlives into the ground.  It was only the big and somewhat smart bruiser types he trod carefully around with.  He was fairly certain he could kill most people in the prison in a one-on-one fight, but with the secrecy and rules restricting him, it didn't always go so well.  Mostly, he let it be.  But sometimes if he got annoyed enough with a particular foe, he'd use subtle magic to get back at them in ways that would not be noticed.<br/><br/>One of the positive aspect of prison life for him, though, was the spoils of victory.  He won enough fights that the jailers threw the occasional woman his way, which let him test out some new ideas for fire.  He'd subtly use some magic to heat various objects, then stimulate his partners with them while he fucked them into the ground.  The prison environment didn't really let him try out the most extreme and promising ideas, but nevertheless his trysts were both useful for new ideas and very pleasurable.<br/><br/>He was about to settle down for the night when a commotion began in the cells next to him, as well as the women's side.  He listened to the increasingly more crass insults between the bruisers and the guard, and was about to settle back down when the Warden made an appearance, alongside some rather ominous horn sounding outside.<br/><br/>This made him sit up and take notice, especially since he noticed some soldier types trooping in as well.  He began marshaling his magic, which he'd very carefully kept hidden during his stay here.  When, not if, the fracas erupted into violence, he wanted to be ready.  This might be a ticket out of here.<br/><br/>Initiative rolls: 1d20 Result: 18 add +9, Initiative 27 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=124046)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Swift Action+Standard Action</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ahji is in the cell right below Darwishi, so near the intersection where the guards will likely pass.  Since Ahji is likely very high in the initiative order, he will prepare for the guards to move in range.  At the beginning of his turn, he uses his Swift Action to Mystically Focus, using 1 Eldritch Pool point.  This isn't visually apparent, only he seem more focused.<br/><br/>Then, he used the Standard Action to Ready a spell, Color Spray.  Triggering condition being the guards starting lethal attack agains inmates.  If/when that happens, Ahji will cast color spray so that it reaches as many guards as possible.  If something changes between now and the action triggering, will re-evaluate then.<br/><br/><strong>Color Spray information, Save DC 15</strong><br/><br/>School illusion (pattern) [mind-affecting]; Level bloodrager 1, magus 1, psychic 1, sorcerer/wizard 1<br/><br/>CASTING<br/><br/>Casting Time 1 standard action<br/>Components V, S, M (red, yellow, and blue powder or colored sand)<br/><br/>EFFECT<br/><br/>Range 15 ft.<br/>Area cone-shaped burst<br/>Duration instantaneous; see text<br/>Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes<br/><br/>DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious.
