OOC: Beh, whatever. Aive, please try to play more based on what your character would do, rather than what you, as a gamer with extra knowledge, want to do. I can understand that you want to loot the corpse, or run ahead and find out what it is etc. But Aive just left the tunnel, why is he all of a sudden running back in? It's like your character has ADHD and can't work towards a single goal for more than a turn. He's all over the place, making 180 degree turns in what he's doing for no reason. For example. Aive knows there was a spellcaster that conjured the smoke. He ran away, then helped try to clear the smoke. As he was running, he heard the spellcaster die a painful death. After the smoke cleared, he is now turning around to go to the corpse of the spellcaster he ran away from, with no idea what killed it, or if it is even there. I know in Aive's case, any intelligent being would probably not want to rush towards the thing that killed the spellcaster so easily. Or even risk it.

My point is, please try to keep Aive's actions based on the game world and his personality and individual knowledge, not on mechanics and DM-revealed knowledge, unless the knowledge is revealed to Aive. It just feels that Aive is a mechanic more than he is a character. His actions sort of... Ruin the mood.

BIC: Myrrani will cautiously approach the corpse of the spellcaster, wary of whatever it was that killed it.

Sir Valdelen finishes off the remaining rat(s) and slumps against the wall, moving forward slowly, sword point dragging a trail in the dirt, trying to get to Lwentano, to drive the remaining rats away. "Feel so... Warm..."

OOC: Yay, filth fever! I got a fevah, and the only prescription... Is more cowbell! Will Lay On Hands cure this Filth Fever or only HP damage?

HP: 12/18 (I think) + Filth Fever (-1D3 Dex, -1D3 Con) in 2 Days

Philo cautiously greets the others as they regroup.

OOC: calm down already!

OOC: Sorry, that was a little long-winded. I don't mean to sound angry or anything. I'd just prefer it if we could all keep our characters in the campaign world as completely as possible, rather than as avatars of our will in a game. I'm not saying it was intentional on testsubject's part either. Aive's actions were merely the first example which allowed me to bring it up.

I'll post in the game thread as soon as I can gather all our actions together. Remember, the halls are still small, so we only have half movement.

OOC: Yea no problem noted and I understand your point of view, I will think about his actions a little more.

Curiosity is his main drive and I think it has been so far, he is not combat orientated at all so he will run and hide alot (when caught face to face) which often clashes with the fact he wants to be at the front and find out what is going on.

And he may well be ADHD as he likes making rather slit second odd choices either when bored or he thinks will test his out of combat skills.

For example setting the goblin free, swimming across the river when he is probably the worst at swimming, pushing forth down the dark cave where there was those voices and no one was backing him up, thats all so far. So his behavior has been somewhat consistent.

I figure if anyone is going to get the party into trouble it should be the rogue, always touching everything and going where he shouldn't.

But yes will stop thinking out of game and focus more on the character.

IC: While the party treats/checks the wounds Aive would still like to head towards where the spellcaster was and check the threat is truly gone,
he will proceed with caution listening carefully, (no point hiding or moving silently while carrying a torch) He will use his mirror to look around the corner and if all is clear he will examine the body, loot it then retrieve his caltrops and report his finding back to the party.

Aive pauses for a second as he wonders what happened to his goblin friend and when regrouped with the party will ask Philo if he happened to see him on his way in.

OOC: What has happened, what is our (my) situation? I think I'm feeling somewhat better but I'd like to just post cautiously for now, here.

OOC: Since you left, nothing has changed. I'm about to post in the Game thread with our actions.

OOC: Should we just use the magical light so that this doesn't happen again?
If that is all he had on him I vote we continue that way and see where he came from.

Aive takes the burnt spell book anyway.
