Ok, I thought:

Surprise round action was pulling rope from my backpack.

Round 1: Move 20', to find the archer had climbed down.
Free action to drop rope
Standard action to draw scimitar.

Sorry for the confusion.

May I alter my Standard action then since my intended target came down to my level? Instead of casting Animate Rope, may I draw my Scimitar in preparation for Round Two?

So, to clear up Coran's actions.

Surprise Round:
Move Action: Coran gets rope out from backpack.

First round:
Move Action: Run to the right 20'
Standard Action: Cast Animate Rope to loop and coil up towards Archer

Also, please move my token GM as I am unable.
Thank you!

Coranthillion does as he is told. Immediately stepping into action, he pulls a coil of rope from his pack. Tossing it in the direction of one of the archers, he begins chanting and performing the movement for a spell.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Yeah, I was trying to avoid the thief and easily angered people.
But GM seems to think we agreed on mercenary and thief for some reason.

Ahh, entertainment... that is the spice of life. lol

Coranthillion considers the option presented before responding quietly.
"Elmarj, this is not a good idea. Even if Orrin correctly remembers the path, the drow are not known to be merciful they will probably send a squad to hunt you down before you reach the surface. Even should they not, there are the creatures of the underdark to face. The risk simply isn't worth it. We can attempt to convince the drow to send you with us to Ilvarandin, if you think the life of an actor appeals more than the life of a drow slave. We will need stagehands and set builders in order to ply our craft. Find those that would prefer to come with us and I will speak to our captors."

Leaving Elmarj, Coranthillion attempts to make his way over to the House Speaker.
"Excuse me, House Speaker Thaleron. I would like to propose that some of the other surface-dwellers be permitted to accompany us to High Ilvarandin. You said that we would be allowed to recruit our own assistants upon arrival. What if we choose to recruit some of these among our number, milord?"

Intimidate: Elmarj: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Diplomacy: Thaleron: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"I believe Mistress Ren has the right of it. They took us for our arts, why not give them a show, eh?"

As they trod along their forced path, Coranthillion recalls a song involving Ilvarandin. He begins to sing the slow, haunting melody as he casts Ghost Sound to create a drum beat that accompanies him.

Perform:Sing: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

PS Thanks for the compliment on the avatar!

Will Profession: Actor work, as a play I once performed?

Profession:Actor: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Coranthillion stares off into the distance as though trying to remember a distant memory.

"A walk in the dark... ah yes. I believe the passage you refer to goes something like this: 'And in the deepest depths lie those who are not, the infiltrators, the stealers of souls. Lost, they wander seeking pleasure in bodies that do not belong. Run, my child... your deepest fears do not compare.'

It could be referencing the Cerethin, though it is uncertain. I sincerely pray that this is not whom we are being taken to, Lady Lasciel."

What a fine predicament this is. Coranthilliion decided, but at least if it was to be slavery... at least he was being allowed to do what he loved in the process. It seemed the best of a terrible situation, but Cor had always been one to see the silver lining.

He stayed silent as his questions were asked by the others. Cor simply nodded in agreement and plodded along the trek in front of him.
