"Ho! Say, that is not very polite, my friend."
Since I'm still exhausted, do I even see what's hitting Chloe, by the way?
(P.S.: CAVE, don't forget to put your character's actual action in bold, to make it easier for Seiromem to sort out what we're doing.)

(Damn, this is the most telescoped kick/punch/stab/whatever in history. Leara could go get some coffee, read the morning paper, and still get back in time to take the hit for Chloe.)
(um, I just realised by re-reading, but I thought I was the one making water Cave, not some random guy orz also we'll just need to wait for Seiromem...)
CAVE, Seiromem's computer recently broke, so it's no wonder it takes him some time to post. Let's have some patience.
@Kloe:
Sorry, it was in fact me he meant.

I cast Prestidigitation to create a small amount of water right on top of the burning torch.

What neversilent said, Andi refuse to try to do it with a fucking touch screen on a goddamn phone. Typing this update post was trial.

Oops, my apologies. I must have confused you and pianotm, since your avatars had a similar art style at the time of that post. Or I just wasn't paying good attention. Either way, sorry about that!
I have gained the trust of my room mate and he has allowed me access to his computing device. The Highlander's Realm will be realized... tomorrow or something. I was using it to write a narrative essay for college.
So that "Or Something" turned out to mean "and another" this time.
-----Turn 12-----
Agnelia looks around for a tent that seems unoccupied. She looks and sees one that has no light in it, and assumes that any Gnoll that would be in there would be asleep. Unfortunately, in her search for a good tent, she completely ignored every gnoll in her selected path, three of them to be exact, and Dashes out as quietly as possible. Luckily for her, she was trained just enough to prevent the arguing gnolls to hear or see her. She's up against the side of the tent now, the shadows concealing her. Froggemin sees Agnelia sneak by three gnolls standing in front of a tent, and his eyes scan the camp for something to cause a distraction. There are torches on wooden posts surrounding the tents and in front of the entrance. There appears to be a very steep yet potentially climb-able portion of the cliff-face over some loose boulders. The tents are made of what looks to be compacted grass and hide, and there appears to be a pit outside the camp where gnolls are dumping buckets of some kind of solid-not-solid matter. (An investigation Check could reveal to you possible uses for the things you notice with perception, or you can come up with your own way of using these things by yourself.) A patrol of three gnolls passes by, but none see you nor Agnelia, apparently.
Chloe, overtaken by either fear, anger, or some mixture of both, begins to scream and flail around, wildly yelling abuse at the Gnolls holding her captive. The female Gnoll grunts and pulls her whip off her belt, and swiftly cracks it at Chloe. However, Leara reacts with blinding speed and lunges herself in front of her with her arm out, causing the whip to wrap around her arm rather than cracking. The female gnoll snarls and pull Leara closer to her. Leara, tired as she is, cannot resist the pull and is brought to the female Gnoll's feet. Looking up, she sees the sole of the gnoll's boot as it smashes her face, knocking her out. SHe points her finger at Chloe and says in broken common: "Don't be like drow, quiet you down!"
At the same time, Aldus, immediately after asking permission, casts prestidigitation to create a puff of water on the protected torch. Most of it slides off ineffectually, but some steam arises from the torch. However immedieatly after that motion and the effect, Patchi rushes forward and grabs Aldus' hand, pulling him up to his feet. Barking an order to move, Patchi puts the scimitar to his back and urges the man forward. The female gnoll speaks to Patchi in gnoll:
"Hmph. Well, I'll keep watch on this troublesome lot and tie up the family."
With that, she puts her whip back on her belt while pulling her morning-star and retrieves some rope from her pack and begins to tie up the children.
Enna waits around in the room as the debate rages on. After ten minutes, the room begins to sway towards the defensive argument. There is a general murmur of hiring on defenders as well as attackers in the area. The payment amounts seem to increase when offense is mentioned. Any other info about the people themselves would require an insight check.

(Thanks for bringing this game back, Seiromem!)
I don't like how this gnoll woman is treating my friends, and this whole imprisonment situation is growing stale anyway. So it is time for things to change. Fortunately, she was not even supposed to be here in the first place, so that problem solves itself.
I cast Implant Memory on the female gnoll to remind her that her leader ordered her to come see him right away this second.

"NO! Damn it... Leara..."
I don't see anything else to do... so I observe the surroundings a bit more(Perception) and I roll a 15
Look, it Kloe playing Highlander's Realm in a video game!

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I can't believe I didn't get caught. You are merciful.
I'd like to use my mirror shard to cut my way into the tent, and go inside. At least it doesn't require a roll. However, based on my brilliant perception roll of 1 last round, I kind of suspect something terrible is going to be waiting for me inside. Maybe you aren't merciful. But my character doesn't know she rolled a 1, so in I go!
I apparently somehow didn't end up starting with a sacrificial dagger like I wanted when we were restarting the game, but in retrospect a dagger would be redundant anyway since I can just stab people (or tents) with the broken shard of the mirror. So it's fine, I got a two-in-one dealio, and I actually like the idea of my character having as few worldly possessions as possible.

The Gnolls rolled to notice you. They failed miserably (you are proficient in stealth, so you had a +2!)
Also, that's another thing I forgot! Your mirror shard is your dagger now! Magical, due to my mistake! And real reasons!
So, I haven't posted because I'm unconscious. If there's anything I can do in an unconscious stupor with a mild concussion, let me know.
((I guess there isn't much of a reason not to post in this specific thread, because at least there aren't any unlikable shites here.))
The promise of work sounds good either way. Who should I speak with to solicit myself for duty?

Oops. I forgot to roll for Chaotic Magic. It's a 97.
It may not matter in case Patchi prevents me from casting my spell in the first place, but better safe than sorry.

we decided spells of such low relative power don't require chaotic magic rolls, remember? So prestidigitation doesn't invoke a chaos roll.
I do remember. But casting Prestidigitation is what I did last round. Right now my action is trying to cast Implant Memory.
