Irathes walks gingerly across to the receiving area, awaiting for those with keener eyes before attempting to move forward.

"Right, back we get to see what that did if anything." Irathes heads back to the end of the acid-pit ledge.
Irathes encourages his comrades to follow him back to , to help him look for the mechanism.
"We could use all the eyes we can get up here, we need to find a way across." Irathes half-shouts to Ady so she can hear him.
"Well, there goes that idea," he turns to the others, "Shall we?" Irathes follows Klodd over, holding on to the rope he's tied off. Reaching the end of the ledge, he and Klodd find themselves at a loss, as there is no longer any ledge. "They have to get across somehow," the gravewalker mutters to himself. He Detects Magic again since he couldn't see this part of the hall before. He also peruses the wall for a hidden latch for a walkway mechanism or something.
"Okay! So, let's not touch the evil liquid... Unless... " Irathes drops a scrap of cured leather from his component pouch into the deadly fluid to see if it could be contained in his waterskin.
sounds good to me
I'll be praying for your family, and like Browman said, don't worry about us.
"Good dwarf, Master Rockhopper." Irathes said, unsure of what to say in these situations. He remembers his father saying, "Good man," when people came up with good plans and took initiative, but this was clearly not a man, so he wasn't sure what to put there besides what he was. He hopes it didn't come out wrong, but also cares little.
As the group approaches the sludge, Irathes detects any magic with which it may be imbued.
"Erynion, perhaps you'll want to give our good sport the dwarf one of those potions. I'm sure the chair didn't hurt too bad, but it might have put him at a disadvantage," Irathes says trying to hide his disappointment that no one died in all that. He helps the dwarf carefully out of the chair. After he's sure the Rockhopper is stable on his feet, the young gravewalker detects any magic present on the door to the north.
Irathes follows the lead of his comrades watching the entire event as it unfolds with a close eye. He also prepares to detect any magic as soon as anyone starts to lose blood.
"Calm yourself master dwarf," Irathes says with an eerie calm, "Please excuse my friend, he doesn't understand that sometimes magic requires an uncomfortable price...which brings me to my next question: For what do you need our blood?"
Irathes lowers the crossbow, still distrusting of the raven, but understanding they won't get much out of it if it's scared. "You may not realize in the dark, but my blood is in short supply," Irathes says pulling his robes tight so the bird can see how thin he is. "Are we talking a prick of the finger or a pint?"
Irathes listens intently for the raven's answer, while inclandestinely pointing his crossbow at it's eye.
Irathes doesn't hear it, but understanding that the voices his comrades are hearing might be a spell, he detects magic again, this time focusing on active auras.
"We're in a tower overwhelmed with magic, master dwarf," Irathes says calmly, "It's entirely possible he hears a voice that we don't." Irathes, understanding that this voice is probably an old magic, tries to remember what kind of magic can do this.
Indeed, and I have no trouble botting the GM either! haha
Erynion made me lol at work..."is this a jar you can open?" killin' me smalls.
"Ady, it's a spell, and like any spell, it'll end either when it runs out of power, or when the caster dismisses it. If only I knew the right spell..."
Irathes helps search for a small rat.
"It seems our path leads to the right."
"Come, let us follow these chains to see where they lead. It may be of some import to know their use." Irathes spoke only in suggestion, as he could not see outside the glow of Ady's blade and therefore follows her wherever she chooses to go.
Irathes also inspects the chains and the uncovered area. After his mundane perusal, he Detects Magic
Irathes muses at the thought of so many dead at once. What a glorious day that must have been for Charon...
Irathes is amused at the idea of using his strength for anything.
Irathes follows behind Erynion Detecting Magic in the rooms he checks, as well as aiding his mundane search.
Huh, the knife-master found new daggers...how fortuitous He raises a hand to his eye and speaks the Necril for Detect Magic on the room and the corridors, uncovering his eye to see what magic might be in the eerie prison.
My prayers are with you.
Irathes follows closely behind Ady, considering he seems to be the only one in the group who can't see in the dark.
"Odd that this room is clean in spite of the falling of the tower..." Irathes casts Detect Magic as he did before, before entering the room.
Irathes' cackling fades. He closes his eyes briefly and when he opens them, the bright yellow of his irises and the milk white of his sclera had returned as if there had never been a change. "What a rush!" Irathes said half whispering, in a rare display of emotion. He clasped his hands with a clap and looked toward Klodd as Ady went to tend to his wound.
On his turn: Irathes continues to Cackle (keeping the misfortune going), and mid-laughter, uses Misfortune on the other centipede
Yeah, and in a party with buffers and debuffers (like Irathes), it really matters who goes when. What we could do though, is if you get on, and it's not your turn, put your actions in a spoiler with conditions. IE If I'm near enough to the Monster on my Turn:
I do this If I'm not:
I do that I've done this before, and it takes a little more time to write the spoilers and put multiple actions (if you have to). Plus, the GM has to work out what happened (which I've found is a good practice to get into anyway). However it DRASTICALLY cuts down on start-to-finish time for encounters. Just a suggestion though, I'm fine with it the way it is.
I would not have written the rules that way if it were me. It seems counter-intuitive, "You have a high enough ability score to get an extra one in spite of the fact your not a high enough level to cast it in the first place..." Whatever.
So you're saying no matter what, if I am level one, I can only use 0 and 1-level spells? Nothing gets me higher than that besides leveling? Even if I have the intelligence bonus to learn/cast a spell?
Irathes quickly says two words in Necril, which the party later learns translate loosely to Rage, Rubble!. Irathes' eyes turn black as night, and those of his poppet (normally sewn shut) burst open to show they're equally dark. The debris on the floor in front of the party begins to leap and whirl, thrown about by an unseen force.
Irathes follows them into the lower trap door, staying close to Adonnenniel's lit sword.
"Did anyone else hear that laughing?" Irathes detects magic, and searches the corpses
"Half, thank you very much." Irathes corrected Klodd, he'd gotten one too many downward glances from elf and human alike to let that go lightly.
