I've been in one game that got to page 2 on the IC side, but it died about 3 weeks later. We chatter too much for it to be a huge win on the OOC side. I think I am responsible for half the posts in that last thread
edit: The real issue I have is that my imgur site is running out of room. It can only hold 200 images before I have to start paying for it
When Roman has seen the gnomes long enough to make a guess, I'd like an Insight roll to "sense outside influence" (DC 25 + the level of the effect). Do they want to murderize because they're mind flayer thralls, or just because we're in Traps without being gnomes ourselves?

So, here are some rolls. I've moved Hal and Jirus to where I want them to be.
Hal under the doorway: (1d20)[6]
Jirus under the doorway: (1d20)[7]
Heal to give a saving throw: (1d20+8)[10]
Arcana to determine if enthrallment can be broken: (1d20+10)[17]
Diplomacy to confuse the gnomes if enthrallment can't be broken: (1d20+12)[25]
Diplomacy to help the gnomes break enthrallment if it can be broken: (1d20+12)[15]
Oy, those rolls aren't very good. Drat. I suspect that Hal is going to be feeling the full weight of his armor for a bit.
I entertain the dice gods. I crit when the roll doesn't matter, or like in one of my other games, they get reconned away. My grasp on large number theory doesn't stop me getting quite peeved at things. Nor does my knowledge of how "random" computers actually are.
Hmm. They have 'glimmering eyes'. Darn. I was hoping the glowy eyes was a visual signal of enthrallment.
Man, I really should have taken that skill power that lets you count creatures inside a certain radius. After Traps, Roman might be paranoid enough to require retraining. Probably not, but ... there was that "tell me about your character's family" thing a while back ... who knows what could be in store for us? Never trust a smiling GM.

RE: the eyes - they all glow (all of these gnomes have glowing eyes) but these particular gnomes have the cool spiral effects like in a cartoon.
Here they are in (slightly) larger format for you.
OH, and I just talked to Arillius - he's got some RL stuff taking up his time right now and he said he hopes to be back on Monday. I will put Ja'qar at the bottom of the initiative and hopefully he will be back by the time his turn comes around. If not, I'll just take his turn for him.
Also, I will be completely out of touch on Saturday because it's my daughter's 2nd birthday and we're throwing a huge party for her. I mean, how could you resist this kid?
