Talking is a free action.  You're free to do whatever beyond moving to attack or using an item.  Even interacting with the enemy NPCs.<br/><br/>All NPCs that I don't explicitly state as being GMONLYDONOTTOUCH is free for each and every player to god mode and RP as within reason.  During battle though you obviously can't giving them commands though, of course.<br/><br/>Next turn will begin in about 24 hours, and all players who can move to do something but haven't will be auto moved and the next round will begin after that.
