"Oh for God's sake, stop setting stuff on fire! That is doing the exact opposite of helping. Put that fire out now."

[Harry Baldman]

"I have to agree. It's a bit uncomfortable having to dodge around you at all times, lady."

Once everyone's in, move down, if that is what we were supposed to do! Push button if necessary.

Just keep healing, just keep healing...

((The group carrying Angel is on the other side of the wall of boxes and cookware and a considerable distance away. The elevator team isn't in any danger yet.))

[Fniff]

(But I thought you said they were running right at the elevator?)

[Lenglon]

((One-foot diameter IS huge from my perspective, but from a human perspective it shouldn't be all that big. Since I'm the only one of us with full mobility, it should be pretty easy for me to keep my distance from the others. Where is the hazard coming from?))

"Oh for God's sake, stop setting stuff on fire! That is doing the exact opposite of helping. Put that fire out now."

To Teammates: <Nope.>
send four of the five spheres back behind us and use them to form a final firewall blocking pursuit, have the final sphere float directly above me and continue on to the elevator.
To Teammates: <You going to do something useful like help our wounded to the elevator or just stand there and provide commentary?>

"I have to agree. It's a bit uncomfortable having to dodge around you at all times, lady."

((Have you forgotten where you are relative to me? you haven't had to dodge around me even once.))

(Generally having fires in a highly flammable environment causes fires.)

"I'll do that when you start doing that and not setting fire to things."

[Parisbre56]

(But I thought you said they were running right at the elevator?)

They're inside the elevator hallway, the same hallway you're in and they're moving towards the elevator. But that hallway runs through the entire building, so it's very big.

Have I made some mistake in the wording of the turn or was it just too vague? Please tell me, since I'm trying to improve.

((Rolled a 6, got bigger balls. You being small and further away gave you a bonus in the followup roll, making it almost impossible for you to hurt them.

((concrete building, the environment isn't all that flammable.))

To Teammates: <Size matters! What do you think I can do like this, bite them to make them go faster? I can't carry people over ten times my size! Get your lazy ass over here and do something worthwhile! or do you want me to provide some burning motivation for you?>

(Boxes are. As judging by the post.)
"Well, I'd rather not burn alive. Judging by your general competence at flame-related subjects, trying not to burn stuff causes stuff to burn and burning stuff causes stuff to not burn..."

[DarkArtemisFowl]

<Please don't argue. Please just do your jobs. Please.>
That was the best Zechariah could manage under the pressure. He swore he saw Artemis strolling around at the end of the corridor. Grinning at him. Calling him worthless. Calling him:
"Pathetic, Zechariah. Simply pathetic."

There were few things in the world that really angered him like Artemis did. Now, he was angry. Very, very angry, at Artemis.
He had to get this done. He couldn't let Artemis win.
Not now, not ever.

To Teammates: <Then get over here! These three need help and I can't provide it! All I can do is buy us time by blocking the people chasing us with those fires you're complaining about!>
((How big are my spheres if they're larger than 1-foot diameter?))

((Hey, that's the point of the upgrade system you haven't seen yet. You "win" a mission, you can make your powers and yourself better. And isn't that the whole premise of RTDs? "Roll 1,2 or 6 and you and/or your friends are likely to have trouble. Roll 4 or 5 and you're mostly OK."

I like how there are a bunch of angry guards and recently arriving reinforcements after them (you can't see them, but you do know about them) and all Jordan cares about is some fire a very large distance away from him. Although, considering that fire has actually been more dangerous to the team than bullets so far, he might not be completely paranoid...

Anyway, there are boxes, but they are only few and not that closely packed together. And they're far away from you, since the ones close to the elevator were used for the wall.

About 60 cm = approximately 2 feet))

(Jordan can handle guards. Handling fire is not his forté. Anyway, how long would it take me to get to them?)
"I thought you were a shapeshifter? Can't you just shift into being a human and then just help them? You seem to be kinda shooting yourself in the foot."

((You can get there in about 30 seconds, halfway through the turn in game terms unless something that requires your input happens. I try to make turns about a minute long.))
