Aria nodded, "Agreed..you mentioned fire before...this place seems like it might be some...otherplace?...than among the flammable buildings of Tsurlagol proper. Even if we don't run across outward-facing doors and windows, I could try to blink through an outer wall to figure out what's around it."<br/><br/>After Kass had regenerated from the curative magic and they'd looted the beasts, the tiefling inspected the rightmost pair of double doors. Satisfied, she activated her blink ring again (in this place, possibly dense with more foes, she decided to do so preemptively to save time if and when violence broke out) and opened the left of the door pair.<br/><br/>This revealed another trapezoidal room about the same size as their own. The long walls to either side continued to curve around to the left, lending the suggestion of a large circular layout of the same diameter as the theater house, with this chamber where the stage-right wing area would've been. Along the left wall was a set of double doors resembling those leading radially inwards in the last room.<br/><br/>This room, instead, had the look of an armory of practice room; the walls were lined with cheap-looking, mostly padded or wooden weapons and pieces of padded body armor. The floor was inscribed with a series of three circles, each of which had several radial lines, concentric circles, and hash marks - sparring circles, by the look of it.<br/><br/>Two men - a knee-length-robed human and a goat-horned-and-hooved satyr - stood in the middle one, but rather than fighting each other, they were staring at the third circle, where two other men<em>were</em>sparring. One was another satyr, wielding a small wooden sword and his own horns, the other was a lightly dressed man gliding about the circle and kicking, his technique starkly reminiscent of the two more formally dressed martial artists Kass and Aria had twice fought backstage. All four were dressed simply, their garb looking black in this colorless world, but as likely black as any other color anyway.<br/><br/>The sparring satyr seemed unexpectedly perceptive, eyes flinching towards the far door as it opened. Kass would recall most fey (and humans for that matter) had no natural ability to see in such darkness as pervaded this place, but this one appeared to have no trouble focusing across the room. He whistled to the others, balled his fists, lowered his goat-horned head, and grinned gamily as his fellows began to turn in place, the other satyr reaching for some weapon, the sparring man balling his fists, and the other man reaching into some robe-pouch.<br/><br/>Aria leaped through the open doorway and into the air, drawing her bow and firing a force arrow at the nearer, probably-a-spellcaster, human. His body spun in place, an arrowhead slicing upon his temple and blacking him out. While he crumbled to the floor, she shot at the nearby satyr, who seemed to flinch at the rush of air before quite realizing what he'd done, and only caught the shallowest of grazes While Aria hiss-whispered what she saw to Kass, she fired at the other human. The shaft  sank between two ribs and caused him to stagger back a step, clutching at himself, then another arrow caught him through the neck and sent him flying back slain across the sparring circle.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Yeah, rightmost is the one on the slanted wall. (It's a 'radial / spike wall' that if the curved south wall is part of a circle, would go towards the center.<br/><br/>Aria init 34<br/>Kass init 25<br/>NPC init 10<br/><br/>Aria: 5' northeast and vertical, cast sniper's shot (5/10 left after), draw bow and full attack, starting with robed man<br/><br/>mods 32/27/23/17<br/>Result: 9, 7, 14, 17,<br/>atk 41 dmg 11+53, unconscious<br/>attack nearer satyr next<br/>atk 34 dmg 4+0...uncanny dodge!<br/>attack other human next<br/>atk 37 dmg 8+63<br/>atk 34 dmg 8+63 slain<br/>(btw made a mistake in previous fight - the other guy shouldn't have been able to use Deflect Arrows, b/c he was flat-footed)<br/><br/>M = human (M' = dropped)<br/>S = Satyr<br/>(if Kass is using Blindsight, note that they are out of its 30' range from her start position, but Aria has whispered their positions)<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/><br/>                                                                  /. . . . . .|<br/>                                                                /. . . . . . .|<br/>                                                              /. . .
