Ylria was waiting on a response from Serra on the detect magic checks before acting as well.  I know we'd asked OOC about a protective circle around the pirate which you did clear up but I didn't want to have Ylria act on OOC information.<br/><br/>I think the more likely event would have been we entered the area.  Serra started scanning, Ylria asked quietly if the pirate was protected, she said no and Ylria offed him quietly.  The time delay would not have been that long although I for one delayed a string of rapid fire posts to avoid passing up other players.<br/><br/>I do think all the characters would have been rather quiet in an attempt to not wake the pirate up.<br/><br/>That said... I don't want to prolong the argument further
