I doubt she's up top... I've dissuaded her pretty thoroughly from that. Climbing around on walls after me drops her to speed 20, so that's a hopeless option for chasing me, between my blink shirt and my speed 30. (Side note: thank god she makes more noise moving than a singing bard. Every time I haven't seen her, I've at least heard her. That does help when I'm doing the eluding thing.) That does remind me, eventually I need to retrain the Quick trait. Not level 2, though. I'll be dropping Dissolving Spittle next level.

Still, that limits her stalking me, at least. That means that she's either trying to anticipate where I'll go and cut me off (in which case, she'll likely try to scout the main central paths) or she'll try to find a place where there's only one place I could hide and attack her. I suppose next I'll check the cubbies on the north and south walls. If I were trying for the latter, that's where I'd go... and if she's doing the former, she'd have already seen me.

Double Move: E15 > B15 > B7.

when arriving in B7 you see Rai in J6+10, holding torch bug paste. Change?

@Refs:

No Change. Only have 5 feet more of movement anyway.

Torch bug paste, eh? From what I see, that does a Faerie Fire effect, which negates concealment from darkness, and most illusion effects.

Am I right in assuming that if I don't need concealment to hide (such as from having a camo net deployed), torch bug paste wouldn't negate my ability to hide?

The wording is that anything struck by or adjacent to a bladder of torch bug paste that's thrown is affected by Faerie Fire for 1 hour, except that it's nonmagical, and can be washed off, as a full round action, with 1 gallon of water.

Well, that settles it. Not where I'd have hidden... I mean, I could have LOS to her from A7, B7, G7, H5, K8, or possibly F7 and K9, with movement. Still, no movement, and ready actions... She's given up on hunting. Round 40+, also. If Sallera's been running as she does in the past, then she's gotta be low on PP. If I'm really lucky, she's out of PP, which would mean no more psionic focus.

Bright side, no cover, and 45 feet away! She, however, has cover to me, so hitting me direct with her goo is a coin toss, and after a 5 foot step, it shouldn't be possible at all. That should render the ref question moot.

Rai's spot is -2, and after sniping, I should still have effectively a +17, after distance. I'm not sure if ties go to the higher modifier, as opposed checks, or if hide merely sets the DC. In the latter, I can't be seen; in the former, I can only be seen if I roll a 1 and she rolls a 20.

Ready actions let her know my location, and sniping doesn't, but ready actions let me be more mobile.

Swift: Allocate Essentia
Move: Deploy Camo net. (just in case my ref spoilers spook her)
Hide: (1d20+28)[48] (including a -5 penalty because I may take a 5 foot step later)

Standard: Ready Action:

Attack Rai if she attempts to take any standard action, or move out of LOS.

Well, let's start by seeing if she gave up her ready action. (I'm betting she did. She has to know it's useless if I saw her ready, and staying where she's at would let me keep taking pot shots at her.) In any case, she can't reach me in 1 move action, so she can't have LOS now.
