Likewise dumbfounded at Cale's timely returned, Syndlara drops her swordarm to her side and gawks openly.

I'm not sure what it says that I hadn't even realized it had been over a week since the last time someone posted in the gameplay thread. Maybe that I've gotten used to very long lulls in other games, I dunno. I'm not particularly attached to Syn here, and have a list of RL commitments that just keeps growing, so I will probably take the opportunity to step out once the Shiv segment is wrapped up.
Seeing the vegepygmies on the island fall to Gatherine's firearms, Syn skirts the waters' edge to close with the remaining plant-people.
Syndlara dashes off toward the east, pausing at the water's edge and taking up a defensive stance.
Syndlara moves to cut down the vegepygmy they had been pursuing, her scimitar flashing in an arc.
Syndlara draws her blade with a flourish, then settles into a guard stance as she awaits the fungus-men's approach.
Smugly turning to her comrades, she exclaims, "I don't think they want to talk."
Syn arches an eyebrow at Iolana and Garborn, then steps to the top of the rise and calls out, "Ho there!"
Syndlara frowns as she peers at the islands across the way.
Syndlara pauses to take in the view.
Syndlara keeps her eyes open for tracks as the party moves as well.
"The one Aycenia was talking about to the north--you know, the dryad," Syndlara replies. She pauses. "Wait. I don't think you ever met her. Anyway, she's a very pretty lady with leaves growing from her head instead of hair. Quite helpful, very friendly. We said we'd help her with an...infestation that was affecting an area to the north. Fungus-people; 'vegepygmies,' I think she called them."
"I imagine it will take a considerable amount of time--and luck--before a ship spots the lighthouse and comes to investigate," Syndlara says. "So while we wait, we should deal with this blight."
"Aye, even if the flying demon-thing weren't still around, I'd like to help Aycenia. She did help us, after all," Syndlara says, agreeing that the group should help the dryad. "Besides, it's going to take some time to figure out how to get off this rock."
It looks like the Mnemonic Vestment is only useful to a spontaneous caster...like Syndlara. The Quick Runner's Shirt would also be useful for her, given that she relies so much on mobility.
Satisfied that there's no imminent danger, Syndlara motions toward the ramp leading out of the water and begins to swim that way.
There's always swimming. ;P We could try building a ship?
Treading water after breaching the surface, Syndlara takes a moment to review her surroundings.
Syndlara moves for the scriptorium, casting a cursory glance over it.
Syndlara moves south across the bridge. "We may as well look around before everything is swimming."
Syndlara follows Mugambi out the door and turns down the northerly corridor, endeavoring to keep pace with the shaman.
Syndlara moves to follow Mugambi. "May be a bit late for that!"
Syndlara casts another cure spell at the altar/statue before retreating thirty feet away in a series of backflips.
Syndlara repeats her incantation, pouring more positive energy into the statue as well.
Syndlara follows Mugambi's lead and incants the words to a lesser healing spell, clapping her hands together and then pressing them on the statue-altar.
Syndlara narrows her eyes as she surveys the statue, then glances at Mugambi. "Maybe if you channel divine energy, Mugambi? It looks like there are fractures in the statue where I saw steam arising during our fight."
"How do we destroy it?" Syndlara asks.
Still here. Syn's waiting downstairs in the main room, waiting on Mugambi and Iolana to come down.
Syndlara nods in agreement with Garborn. "I'll stay here as well. Can't imagine we all need to cram in there."
While Mugambi and Iolana busy themselves with the magical items they found, Syndlara wanders over to one of the journals, picks it up and starts reading.
Syndlara reels and stumbles as a wave of sonic force assails her ears.
Syndlara leaps and spins her way over toward the opposite side of the snakewoman, her blade weaving and slashing as she goes.
Syndlara smiles grimly as she sees a pattern to the acrobatics employed by the snakewoman. Still in the midst of her own sword-dance, she times another slash of her scimitar to catch Yarzoth where she will be, rather than where she was.
Continuing in the steps of her war-dance, Syndlara launches into an aerial cartwheel, her blade lashing out again at the snake-woman.
Pretty sure that was a roll Yarzoth made to continue spellcasting after she took damage from Iolana.
What's the Will save for, Gatherine?
Lost in her sword-dance, Syndlara ignores the banter going on about her. As the rope golem unravels, she pirouettes in search of a new foe. Spotting the snake-woman, she launches into a series of aerial cartwheels and lands at the woman's side, blade spinning and slashing.
Syndlara rubs at her raw throat, taking a moment to recover. She draws herself up into the opening position of her sword-dance, then lunges forward at the rope golem in the first steps of the dance.
Iolana uses more power of her magical resources and channels it into her blade,then focuses on the pearl of power,calling back two other blue bolts,which are aimed at Yarzoth. Activating a pearl of power is a standard action--I don't think you'd be able to recall magic missile and cast it (also a standard action) this round. You could use Spell Recall as a swift action instead of a your arcane pool, though.
Syndlara continues to struggle to free herself of the ropes about her neck.
Syndlara struggles against the rope-golem's grip unsuccessfully.
Traveling this weekend. Should still be able to post, but fair warning just in case.
Syndlara takes advantage of an opening in her foes' guard to throw herself into an aerial somesault, literally dancing her way behind her opponents' backs.
Syndlara slashes at one of the nearby skeletons.
