Turn Twenty NinePlayers:
GragrarSprint across the tree as fast as possible. If I feel it is about to break while I'm running across, jump for the other side of the gorge.
And if I fall call out to Sarron as loud as I can, I believe I met him a few turns ago.
Knowing the imminent collapse, Gragrar runs as quickly as he can across the tree. {2} A few feet from the relative safety of the other side, Gragrar hears a creak of wood, he resolves himself to jump and hope for the best. Amazingly enough, the tree held his weight, the ashy covering, on the other hand, was rather slippery. Gragrar's foot slid out from under him, sending him tumbling into the chasm with a resounding scream:
SARRRON!YnotDeny the knight's wish by starting to float, myself.
Summon inexplicable background music.
Hopping into the air, focusing on levitation, trying to keep himself afloat. {2} A moment later Ynot opens his eyes to find himself standing on the ground exactly where he was.
ValentinePossess the archer; attack the goblin
{1} Valentine's attempts at possessing the creature go completely unnoticed; by the creature. Three of the fire sprites begin floating over to the new apparition.
SarronApologize profusely while tearing his throat out with my talons.
And if I do hear my name being called, I will quickly run my altruistic ass over.
{2v4} Sarron's attempts to right himself and attack the bear fail miserably, leaving the bear open to counterattack.
Upon hearing a cry for help, Sarron {3} pries himself from his quarry and flies off, {5} grabbing the human by one arm, pulling him out of an amazingly steep dive. The long, slow, process of power-strokes required to haul a heavy load out vertically on wing-power begins....
GrekRocket-pipe self towards bear.

"
Is that a dragon, utilizing jet-propulsion?"
"
Why, yes. I do believe it is."
"
Strange times we live in."
"
Indeed."
KlausKeep digging!
With great fervor and the sweat on his brow, {5} Klaus breaks the surface, clawing his way into an ash-strewn wasteland. Klaus hears cries of pain and the clanging of metal off to his right.
Unknown HumanFling half a hunk of salted meat into the fire. Observe the reaction.
Pulling out a small piece of meat, you fling it toward the floating fires, {4} hitting a
purple one dead-on. The meat immediately bursts into a gout of
purple fire before falling to the ground, a blackened crisp.
HexTry to find a smaller rock to break into a chisel.
{5} Conveniently, a shard of rock perfectly suited to the task was shaken off by the seismic activity, Hex picks it up.
NPCs:
ArkenRoll over and try to get this blasted beast off me!
{2} Feeling faint-headed from blood-loss, Arken fails to do anything meaningful.
GoblinStabbity-stab.
{2} Inexplicably, the goblin misses anything vital on Arken. He does leave a few new holes in him.
ArcherReload and don't miss.
{4} With his crossbow ready for a second try, Archer is unwilling to miss this time. He walks directly up to Arken and places the crossbow against the back of his head....
Flora and FaunaGeoff{5} "These freaks are insane!" Geoff evaporates into a cloud of smoke, which floats off into the distance.
Spot/Listen Check:
{4} Every character is aware of everything said in this turn. Somehow.
