Found it.

Windwalker
Fly 8 squares. If you don’t end your move on solid ground, you float to the ground without taking falling damage.

I will write this action in the IC.
Next.

After all, I beleive that nature is more fitting to my idea... as I said, same bonus. so take the 27 for it lol....

The idea is to plan the most direct path from where we are.

I took nature.

You can pass the info you get by winning a success. "Gallo and Dekkah".
Maybe that will change methods or ideas for future actions for others.

As you have seen, an action with "power" can be used for skills challenges. With a good idea, it was a success.

Tata, you can not edit a "roll" in a post
Go back to your IC post and put [roll0] where you re-enter the formula
If you did a mistake, re-roll in OCC and edit your post in IC to link the roll with our OCC Thread.

Sure if it's what you want to believe... it wasn't to modify my roll, I just removed text. If I had rolled a 20 I would have done the same anyways. But it's good to know you can't edit a post with some sort of roll in it.

Question actually Timlaff, do you actually let people modify posts before anyone else replies or you play with what you wrote is what you do, period?

It all depends on the situation, but the "edit" is often useful and necessary to run the story better, so use it no problem.

For "rolls" just never delete variables "exemple: [roll0][roll1], etc..". Roll in the OCC, and then edit the IC to replace/fix your mistake.
There is a field in the edit, where you can write the reason of the edit, so use it!

Also, if you are in the habit of previewing your post, do so before you add the rolls, as this will trigger the roll calculation, and when you post... the results won't show.

So steps to do :

Write text
preview post
add rolls
submit post.

there we go.

Ok Dekkah, and let me know guys if you agree to follow the idea of Tata, spread out in a line to cover more ground... I assume you do, since you trust each other.

I'll go along as well, and could even add a shout once in a while to make sure everyone is still there.

EDIT : I wonder if the illusion is over the road and we have passed it while we were in there...

are we out of the illusion yet and back in normal woods?

I wonder what I can do other than jump in Birel's shorts and wait for him to find the way :)

I think we'll also have to wait for Gallo's Arcana check at some point, right? Or did you take that into account?

No, you are still in the illusion. You just found a way to move in it.

Because if I understood Timlaff correctly, we are out of it now... right?

Tata, read my last post in the IC.
I used Gallo's actions to achieve your idea. Success, it's better than nothing, and if Gallo back be back before tonight, he can still roll an Arcana skill check.

Unless you fail or succeed before.

We are still in it, except we are able to move further into it from what I get instead of being affected by it like we were when we were all together... although I'm not sure how illusions work... Waiting for advice/comments from Gallo on my part, not sure what else to do.

This is probably my English level, the fact that you do not understand me well... Sorry.
