Aldus stands just outside the doorway resting on his staff with both hands, his large buggy eyes darting from detail to detail. Bird, his large hawk combs through Aldus's tangled hair, screeching with glee as it finds a small insect it quickly devours it's prize.
"Allright then, Cheerio." The giant scroll rolls itself and shrinks into the size of a regular scroll before blinking into nothingness. Aldus picks up the remnants of his things and joins everyone in the cave.
"Everyone alright here?" he asks. The quill moves and scratches out the answer "I believe so yes, how fare you Jevon? Was your bear missing a left forearm?"
Once all the surviving crew are free and more or less cared for Aldus will meander over to the gathering of people. Waving his hand the air starts shimmering a few feet away from everyone. A closed scroll ten feet across unfurls itself and a quill begins writing out the words... "So....what is our next course of action?" ...as it stops moving the quill continues to hover on the next line down.
Going to swap my extra hex for craft wondrous.

Initiative
"Why.. why thank you... I don't think I caught your name earlier... I am Endrian, and you are?" Aldus nods with a smile and keeps moving among the survivors, helping where he can.
The helmsman is fine, as are a grand total of 8 soldiers. Miss Koyr also stumbles out of the wreckage mostly unharmed. As for Keddemas, unless I've missed something, is still lying face down in the dirt. I silently offer each of the surviving crew members healing. Looking over and seeing Endrian wounded Aldus frowns. Taking his muddy hand he walks over and draws a sad face on Endrian's shoulder.
"Aldus, help us find... oh. Oh, wow. Thank you. Glad you're alright." Aldus smiles and continues on.
Debris shifts and a hand reaches up weakly. Bird swoops around and lands on a plank from the Airship that wedged itself between two rocks. He begins picking at the hand and after a few moments Aldus bursts from the wreckage with an extremely alarmed expression. Looking around for a moment he relaxes, wincing as he touches his bruised ribs. Reaching for his belt pouch he finds that it is no longer there, staring down Aldus suddenly realizes that he is no longer wearing pants. Rolling his eyes he reaches down for some mud and rubs it on his bruised ribs.
With some very loud popping and cracking his bones fit themselves back into place. He rocks his shoulders back and straightens his posture. Dipping down he coats his hand in some fresh earth and heads off to find other injured folk.
The only fireworks here were off magic island. They've banned everything else.
Shipped. A convenient and interesting turn of phrase. I'll be sure to use it in the coming days.
Aldus steps into the bar late into the night, a touch of red colors his cheeks and his eyes seem just a tad bit glazed over. Staggering over he laughs and shakes his head. Walking over to everyone he gives everyone he can recognize a reaffirming handshake. Staggering over to the bar he trips over his own feet and nearly falls, catching himself on the edge of the bar. He reaches into his pouch and takes out a pair of coppers that seem to be covered in a colored dust of some kind, licking his sleeve Aldus hands the man his money and drinking horn, waiting for him to refill it before stumbling back outside and into the cold night air, sloshing beer onto the wooden floor.
He extended a mailed fist to resolutely shake Aldus' hand. Aldus will shake Basters hand and smile, revealing a large gap between his two front teeth. Bird Caws on his shoulder, cocking it's head towards the forest. Aldus looks quizzically at Bird who caws yet again. Aldus nods at bird before waving off Baster and heading in that direction towards the forest. ---------------

In this case you are allowed a save therefore it is intended that there be situations in which you might or might not realize the illusion is real Saving Throw Will disbelief (if interacted with) You are ONLY allowed a save if you interact with the illusion. which can not be achieved by way of your technical definitions. ....I touch the illusion, I get a save. How is that unachievable in any sense of the word?
Upon interacting with it and failing your save the illusion/situation reacts (at least to your perception) as if it was real. For instance hitting a creature with a sword you'd recoil not because it has mass and force but because your mind perceives there to be mass and force behind the creature, and so your body reacts accordingly. Reguardless, the rules clearly define the effect, whether or not it makes sense or not is irrelevant. By the way the effect I have on the computer is the computer is being analyzed. Effect something that is produced by an agency or cause; result; consequence: Exposure to the sun had the effect of toughening his skin. What result are you bringing about in the computer by analyzing it? Pressing the A key results in change, from keycap to keymatrix to the computer producing an A on the screen. Simply looking at a computer is not interacting with it just as looking at an illusion is not interacting with it.
The large Aldus-headed centipede blinks and quickly disperses, Aldus himself walks out onto the field in it's place. Glancing over towards Baster Aldus digs into his pouch and pulls out a pinch of colored dust, he tosses it in his direction and nods thoughtfully. Holding out his arm Bird lands with a big flap of his wings, Bird cocks his head at Aldus and Aldus nods. Bird begins making a birdlike cackle, all screeches and squawks.

Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect What effect are you having upon the computer or the illusion?
For the illusion I would say that paying attention to it would count as interacting, but that's just me.(aka wouldnt get a save if it was just in the background or if it blended in with surroundings with nothing drawing attention to it) Would you consider yourself interacting with a computer if you were looking at it from 30 feet away? I mean there is some room for interpretation with spells but the description is very explicit in saying that no save is allowed unless interacted with. I think Koldir's assumption makes sense however, that if you succeed on the Will Save against the auditory aspect of the illusion it would make you want to take a closer look.
Yeah, nice one dude. I second Leon's approval! Aldus, I love you, you freaky freakchild. Every time I read that description it gets more amazing. =) For those rolling saves for silent image, keep in mind that there is no save unless you actually interact with the illusion, it just is.
From deep within the shadowy forests comes a shuddering impact and the straining of wood as one of the mighty timbers falls over. Movement appears on the edge of vision, an insectlike creature slithering along the ground like a centipede. It enters on the edge of the fray and seemingly picks up one of the assailants in it's mighty mandibles, pointing it's head toward the sky it swallows the man whole as his muted cries are quickly cut off. In full view the centipede stands over 30 feet high, looming over the battlefield. It's head performs some jerking motions, with a gooey *splorgh* sound it's head peels back like a banana revealing a very large Aldus head staring bug-eyed at the battle. The giant Aldus-headed insect doubles over as it's face bulges, from it's mouth comes an outpouring of eggs covered in green goop. After a second the eggs begin hatching and little creatures begin pouring out, fully armored humanoids the size of small dogs also with Aldus heads begin pulling themselves from the eggs and assembling into a battle formation with the Aldus-a-pede sitting behind them.
Can the assailants be clearly seen and identified?
How many actions can we get away with before we enter rounds?
He makes his way over to Aldus saying, "This is probably not the greatest time to formally introduce myself, but I am Endrian, we fought together against the spiders. I do believe you healed me during that particular foray. Aldus nods quickly, eyes searching the darkness for assailants. Have you seen the others?" Aldus shakes his head no.
Aldus blinks and looks to the action with a passive face. Glancing at Endiran he snaps his fingers and suddenly Endiran's vision sharpens to unbelievable clarity. He stands up, shaking his head vigorously, letting the berries and leaves that he placed in his hair before he slept shake loose before silently cackling.

Aldus sits on a log, eyes darting from person to person as they start speaking. His hands tend to the small pouch on his lap as he folds one of his magical scrolls into a paper crane before placing it in a cup and lighting it on fire. He continues adding things to the cup, some wine from his wineskin, herbs from his pouch, a bit of the spider leg split down the middle. A faint aroma wafts up onto the breeze carrying the odd sent of pumpkin and cotton candy. Smelling the brew, absently nodding, he tilts Bird's head back before pouring it down his gullet.

I agree with Baster, Aldus, you play this character very well. Thankyou sir.
Aldus walks over to one of the fallen giant spiders, taking his knife he slices off the tip of one of it's limbs. Sniffing at the severed limb he takes a lick before nodding and placing it into his pouch. He then returns to the formation.
Aldus is going to use misfortune on the swarm. He cackles with his move action in a flat, passive voice "heh, heh, heh..."

Ah yes, Aldus indeed follows the party on the off chance that they might need his abilities.
Exactly where we stand in relation to what? Perception:
The next morning comes around soon though and the camp slowly packs up the material and makes preparation to get underway. Halfway through packing one of the wagons a shout followed by exclamations of anger ring through the camp. The sound seems to be coming from one of the rear wagons. Aldus will shuffle off in that direction with bird squaking on his shoulder.
