@Xuuvosic/HoV
[spoiler]Nice roll. :D The first one succeeds.

And I guess I never actually directly answers your question about the conservation of momentum and teleportation. I think the safer road there is to say that momentum is not conserved. Otherwise I can imagine some crazy shit where you teleport over and over again to get some object falling at relativistic speeds and then let go of it or something. :P[/spoiler]
You remember seeing a nice rug that you admired back in the office of a shipping port that you and Cade passed through on the way to free Ris-Janna from her petrified state. You steady your mind, and within seconds you feel space and time fold around you, and you find yourself standing in that office.

Things don't look quite as splendid as you remember, though. The windows are all smashed, and there is a rank corpse seated at the harbor master's desk with a look of abject horror locked onto its face. Hovering over the corpse, you see a dark, translucent figure. At your appearance, it turns a pair of burning eyes towards you.

You do see that the rug is still on the floor under the harbor master's desk, though, just as you remembered it. You're standing on one corner of it.

[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

[spoiler]In that case X will move as far away from the figure as possible while keeping a hold of the rug. He'll also activate Displacement.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Why don't you just grab the corner of it and teleport away? :P

Also, what is the displacement ability based on? One of the cloaks in the DMG? Or something else?[/spoiler]

After escaping the grapple and teleporting, X doesn't have any standard actions left. Displacement is an armor ability (swift action, works like the spell 5 rounds/1 day)

[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Oh I thought you just used your SLA to escape and that was a concentration check. I didn't know that was a grapple check to escape the grapple. Ok, then. You have a higher initiative, but we'll resolve the rest of the round and come back to this, since that's the order it would technically happen in. You can go ahead and post your actions, though.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I presume he grabbed Raoul to go along?[/spoiler]
[spoiler]His teleport is self-only. That's why he wanted one of these pits. He can carry all of you around in it.[/spoiler]

Raoul's turn, then back to the top of the round.

[spoiler]Well, are all of those guys still falling down? If they get within reach of me I can try to help, but otherwise I'd be useless. I didn't end up getting the fly spell, so I can't get up that high on my own.

Let me know when my turn's up though, and maybe it's time Cade climbed out, at least. :)[/spoiler]

[spoiler]No one is falling. The tree-guy is grappled by Evard's tentacles 300 feet in the air, and in magical darkness.[/spoiler]

"Listen to me. We've got no intentions to make any more enemies than absolutely necessary. YOU'RE NOT ON THE FUCKING LIST."

Another whispered chant under his breath, and the tree-like creature senses his vision clouding further beyond the darkness. Even should he previously be able to see through it, now he cannot look beyond five feet of himself.

[spoiler]Invisible Solid Fog centered on Tree Guy. Little Miss Psycho might have to back off a bit. Now is a good time to calm down. (1d20+16=18, 1d100=75, 1d6+4=8) Crappy grapple check, let's hope he doesn't roll too high.[/spoiler]

The figure does not bother struggling against the bonds that hold it. It has a look of detached serenity as it says

"I am not your enemy. I am your executioner"

...and strikes Ris-Janna with yet another surge of electricity.

[spoiler]10d6=28

I think that leaves you at -6, right?[/spoiler]

Her scream can be heard from the ground, and her limp body hangs weightlessly supported by the flight spell on her and the dense fog surrounding her, yet unseen by those below.

[spoiler]So... I guess it's everyone's turn but Ris-Janna's. :P [/spoiler]

<<Xuuvosic, the kid's in danger. I can get her out of the frying pan OR off to a safe place, but not both. This fucker's serious and I'm through with the diplomacy. So what should we do?>>

In response to their attacker, Raoul replies, "You're making a lousy job of it. There you are, bound and blind as a bat, and you only manage to make one of us scream. You should come back next week with a better routine, jester!"

And yet, now's not the time to fool around. It is time to act.

Hovering quickly towards the bag, Raoul sets it open. "Cade. I have a situation that calls for your specific talents right now. We won't be able to evacuate unless it gets taken care of, and we have a single chance. I trust I can count on you?"

<<But of course. I take it you need me outside the pit. But what do you propose after that? Even after returning to increased size, I can not reach them up there on my own.>>

Xuuvosic Teleports back to the battlefield, a dusty tarp gripped tightly by the spiny pad of one of his feet. With a deft motion, he drags the Enveloping Pit over the cloth and picks both up together. "Has shit suddenly started to go our way in the last couple seconds, or are we getting the fuck out of here? Siphsis, somebody fill my ass in."

[spoiler]Siphsis listen check (1d20+22=35). Assuming the Yuan-ti archer is able and willing to provide Raoul and RJ's locations, Xuuvosic barks more orders, "Cade make some room and get ready to Janna. Raoul, get in the fucking pit. And some flight could prevent some nasty hitches."

X will ready an action to Teleport to a nondescript patch of desert just before the tree dude acts again.[/spoiler]

"Hey sap for brains! Simple motherfucker, you got any tricks that do more than tickle?"

<< Let's just say I can give you a ride. I'll need you to make sure our foe is taken away from his current position. Ever grappled in mid-air?>>

As Xuuvosic returns, he relays telepathically, <<I'm working on an extraction plan that gets us all in one place. I suppose you could teleport us after that, no?>>

<< Listen well. Xuuvosic, I'll need you to teleport above Ris-Janna's current position with the pit open. Cade, on his signal, you'll need to leap out and pick her up. You'll only get one shot at this, and you'll be moving while she'll be hovering in place, so be careful. Xuuvosic, you should have enough time during your descent to teleport to ground level. Do so with the Pit open and facing upwards. I will make sure Cade and Ris-Janna are safely deposited on there, leap in myself, and then we can all get out of here. I know it's not an ideal plan, but it's what I've got to work with. Ready?>>

The plan definitely had a touch of crazy. But it also sounded like a ton of fun.

<<Heh, got it. Don't worry about my leap, I'm quite good at it.>>

Cade readies himself to dismiss his transformation and return to his previous size, as well as to leap out of the pit.

[spoiler]Tome Monks are spectacular jumpers. :P
I don't quite get what the "unbounded" line is supposed to mean (would be more useful if it meant they can jump any distance beyond their move distance, instead of waiting across rounds to accomplish movement), but at least their reduction of jump DCs means they can jump high... Very, very high. :D[/spoiler]

"OK, I listened. But there is zero time for crazy. I need flight, and I need you in the pit. Right fucking now! Cade, be ready but do NOT jump out of the pit."

X then yells up at the treeman again, "What? Still trying to think up a comeback? Tell you what, don't bother. After I'm done with your ass, I'll just burn this pathetic forest down and forget about you and it. Because obviously there ain't shit you can do about it."
