The dust continues to swirl in S-11. You also make out the words of a shouted cry from that direction:

Basically, a sling stone bounces off S-11, and motorcycle equips a shield.

Ref question;

Spoiler

Show

Is there any precedent for throwing dust or sand into a space or in a line to see if there is an invisible person is there? Like if I dropped sand off the column could I tell if Krung is climbing the column, and if so, how far up he is?

Then supposing I locate him or get lucky, while climbing he loses his dex bonus to AC, right?

Additionally, if I were to succesfully attack him while he is climbing, would he have to make a succesful climb check to avoid falling?

There are flour bags and torchbug paste, but they both have to be purchased.

Then supposing I locate him or get lucky, while climbing he loses his dex bonus to AC, right?

Yes.

You need both hands free to climb, but you may cling to a wall with one hand while you cast a spell or take some other action that requires only one hand. While climbing, you can’t move to avoid a blow, so you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). You also can’t use a shield while climbing.

Additionally, if I were to succesfully attack him while he is climbing, would he have to make a succesful climb check to avoid falling?

Yes.

Any time you take damage while climbing, make a Climb check against the DC of the slope or wall. Failure means you fall from your current height and sustain the appropriate falling damage.

If I can pinpoint a likely location of my opponent either by listen, spot, or establishing LoS, I will (if need be) take a five foot step and attack the square (or him, if LoS is established) with my bastard sword. I will not five foot step off the cliff, but I will attack squares (or my opponent) on the cliff face.

and Done.

On the bright side, with one minute per level, and a level three caster level of the potion (unless I'm mistaken), I've almost wore out the duration by a third.

If light sources never become invisible, if an opponent were lit on fire, would I see where he is by the flames/light?

Note that climb only allows you to move 1/4 your speed, so your only 5 feet up the cliff at the present time.
Also, nat 20's mean nothing on skill checks. They're only auto successes on attack rolls.

If I attack the walls and it is him, I may do damage, but I also run the risk of being predictable, which is never good. If I wait, he may get the drop on me. I don't even believe he is in range, but if he thinks I think I know where he is, and I'm wrong, this my get easier. Cripes.

Since I activated the Wind Stride manuever, it adds on another 10' to my base move. 1/4 of 30 would be what 7.5'? Reguardless, am I on the mountain side now, or am I on the top?

I know, I did the math but since dnd works in 5 foot intervals, you'd have to round down to 5. Your still on the cliff.

Ok, where am I now exactly? Am I still on the cliff face, made it to the top, or fallen down to the 'ground'? I need to know before I take my turn.

Sorry, I messed up, a redo of Motor's last turn should fix it:

@Motor:

Spoiler

the sound was not east of you, but directly south of you, at the top of, but not on top of, the cliff.

@Krung:

You're at the top, but not fully on top of, the cliff, one more climb check (15 ft up, 5ft each climb, you're currently 10ft up).
