Guess Who...

Your Listen check was 18, and the other's Move Silently check was 12 (with the appropriate penalty for the other's moving at a normal rate). Someone is in that mist, a medium-sized creature that breathes and has two legs.

Your Spot check was 15, well enough to see the caltrops. Sharp, pointy jacks that you don't want to step on. They weren't here when you were last up hear with the sunrod. The pipe is ten feet wide, but there are caltrops laid down in strips 2.5 feet wide on either side, leaving only a 5-foot wide path in the middle. (These caltrops begin 20 feet away from you, ten feet before the mist begins.)

Your stone clatters - and then thumps. Someone curses. A familiar voice.

The mist parts. Fast Eddie stands there. He has his cane rapier out. "You - interferer!"

Do you still want to turn your back on him?

Below, Castille hears a groan and a splash. Someone has sabotaged the catwalk over the retention vat. The only way is out is up that long ladder - what is taking Kaspar so long anyway?

Roll for intiative Kaspar.
