Yeah sorry, man! It was a cool spell too (I've always wanted to play an Arcane Duelist)! But Tezoc wasn't about to back down from a fight, particularly one he was winning!
Sorry, got a few things to juggle. Getting something planned for the next room of the dungeon, but feel free to do the roleplaying thing while I prep. :)
I thought everyone was running down the passage this whole time, not stopped once in the mouth of the exit tunnel. I meant for Tezoc to run right in and not stop, and his replies to Florian and Lucas were made on the move. I apologize if I didn't make that obvious enough. Okay, if we're establishing a pause to chat/argue then I'll reimagine it so as not to disrupt the flow. Otherwise, he would not have heard a word Max said. :-)
Sorry. Been trying to hammer out a programming problem over the last week and I'm admitting defeat on it tonight. Will get a post up for this again tomorrow :)
Sorry. Was waiting for a few more replies to the kobolds reveal before I posted any more. Figured giving everyone a chance to react was important there.
