(Initial reply by PM, repeated here.)

Patch appears uncomfortable.

You notice that Patch's forehead is a bit humid. He's sweating.

As you leave the orphanage, you take a breath of fresh air when arriving outside. However, you smell something... weird. As if... well, you can't really explain it, even to yourself. It's not a smell actually, more a feeling. You look to the North and see clouds roiling in, and for a moment those clouds take on the shape of a hand, with the late afternoon sun giving it an eerie reddish glow.

A moment later, the clouds revert to a shapeless mass once again and the sun's reflections aren's so vibrant anymore.

What position was the hand in?

Palm opened towards the South, fingers spread and as though about to close.

You don't see any traps or concealed creatures. There is another door to the room, unobvious at first glance behind the locksmith's gear, but not hidden either.

Jack, as you look into the pool of the pillars room in Jzadirune, you think you see a dark hand with long, wicked claws about to grab your shoulder in the pool's reflexion. You turn around quickly, but see nothing when you do. Only Discido and Sorring looking at you with a bland stare.

As you are all standing in the corridor and contemplating whether Fea should go in to look at the weird statue in the large hallway, you hear a whisper from someone in your group, you're not sure who, but you think it might be Sorrin who was standing right behind you: "Elves shouldn't be trusted."

Though you are standing right behind Fea, you think the whisper was too low for Fea to hear, but the elf suddenly turns around nonetheless and looks at you with a quizzical frown.

[Skyscraper]

As you are resting in the great hall after the battle with the delver, you hear a low whisper.

"They know you're here. They won't let you leave."

You can't figure out where it comes from, and you don't think the others heard because nobody reacts at specifically that moment.

[Skyscraper]

At the start of your turn on round 2, you are not grabbed by the shadows.

Jack takes 7 ongoing damage from the tendril that holds him, at the start of his turn.

I'm seeing one consequence of our rule: if the 7 damage were enough to get you unconscious, then you could ask Sorrin to heal you, but would then need to wait to post until Sorring plays or else you'd fall unconscious before he heals you. Hmm.

I could avoid telling you this information (ongoing damage) of course, but then it would not be fair because normally you'd act last in the init order and might receive the heal anyway.

Hmm.

One way to deal with this hypothetical situation might be for you to post right away if you want, but mention in your post that you act after Sorrin.

Thoughts?

[PylonHead]

Hmm. Tricky.

We have some time.. no where near unconsciousness yet. Let me think about it.

[Skyscraper]

You'll be taking 7 damage at the start of your turn.
