I have decided to implement a system whereby voters can apply a bonus for being "veterans". Every ten votes, will give you one charge, which you can use by saying you want to use your "voting bonus". When used, you will apply a +1 bonus to all rolls for the next post.You can have up to two charges, but you may not use more than one on a vote, nor can more than 3 people use theirs at the same time. To avoid abuse, one "vote" is participating in a vote between 2 story posts - making 2 separate posts between a single story update does not count twice towards this.
Since Fireball explodes can the explosion affect multiple targets? If so:
A) Attack! Have Maria shoot arrows at the nearest one while Jane casts Fireball at the one in the middle in the hopes that all three will be set on fire (I hope they are close enough to each other; also in both cases aim for the body to maximize chance to hit). After that focus on finishing off the most wounded one: Jane casts Magic Armor on herself and attacks with her dagger. She will target the victim's head and eyes in an attempt to at least blind him if she fails to kill. At the same time Maria continues to shoot arrows at the other rats.
If necessary (such as two opponents attacking her at the same time) Jane casts Wave of Force to get one of the opponents away from her (if possible target one that will get slammed into the wall).
Last, but not least, Jane should try to pick a target that is not set on fire by her fireball.
P.S.: For future info: Can Jane cast Magic Armor on Maria, or only on herself?

To escape a Grapple, the character can choose to check their strength (Pushing the enemy off or attacking) or dexterity (Movement based/slipping out of the grapple) against the enemy to escape, although keep in mind: Some checks will suffer a penalty depending on how the character is grappled.. If the player simply matches the check, they manage to escape. If the character is penetrated, matching the check will only dislodge the offender, as completely throwing off an opponent while they are already screwing the character requires a check to be successful by 5 or more (a crit).
Certain elements in the environments or characteristics about the enemy can apply bonuses or penalties to the character’s escape attempt. Some of these are passive while some need to be actively sought out. I also apply bonus points in the roll depending on how you guys suggest escaping - Be creative! If you think you can utilize a bonus, put it in your vote and see if it pays off!
Of course, the character can always attempt to use a spell to free themselves if they are able to cast or straight up stab their foe if able.
What happened to Jane’s Ring of Bolt? It’s missing from her inventory…
Anyway, I’m having a little trouble imagining the exact situation Jane’s in. Can she use her legs right now?
Aim for the rat’s eyes with her free hand. Doesn’t matter if she can do any damage or not – the goal is to force the rat to pull away for a few moments so that she can cast Wave of Force with no interruption. Also, try to pull her right hand free at the same time, and if successful – slash at the rat at random (again the goal is to get him off Jane, not do do damage). Last, but not least, if she can use her legs, try to kick the rat – preferably in the crotch – as an additional distraction.
Hopefully Maria can take care of herself while Jane is busy…

Oh! No, no, no, you misunderstand me: Veteran voting is simply when you have ten votes you can "spend them" for a bonus on dice rolls in a post - I know you're a long time voter here as you haven't missed a single update (among a few others). I not only started counting at the beginning of this adventure (Dungeon Diving) but the very next post you made after I had declared Gear and Moonblack earning one charge of that ability, put you at ten as well. (Post #243) If you look under the Dice/Game Report in the last post, you'll see that you too have a charge.Also, I'm not going to count as a veteran poster :<? I thought I got here during character creation.

The current count - adding up all the votes above this one (but after the start of Dungeon Diving) puts you guys at...
Gear: 11 (One Charge)
Minerve: 6
Xaero: 9
Rose: 7
Moonblack: 11 (One Charge)
1Cyka: 7
AngelEater: 6
Tomaito: 8
Denmu: 5
Diagasvesle: 11 (One Charge)
Kasei: 9
Also, I hope these numbers spur friendly competition instead of animosity in the form of "They have more votes than ME!?" But you guys seem pretty cool - There's not a one of you I could name who may react in such a way.

Fluff Nudge: The smell! Sweet scent, delicious scent! Lilies? Was it lilies?! No, but it smelled sweet! Then, a thrumming, my veins, they popped, I swelled. The smell of female! Not my female but female! Something big enough! They appeared! Two tall creatures with fat teats hanging off their chests! I want! I go! They won't stop me! I take! - Clumsy attempt at the rats being horny at the smell of Jane and Maria. More focused on getting their cocks inbetween their legs and into a hole.
Z Hug and kiss Maria for being so awesome with that bow! Seriously, what magic she does know she's good at and she's a crack shot?
Keep this one around!
