>How fast can Tenshi normally move compared to us?

Also feel like chiming in that us wanting to help probably has lost whatever meaning it had to her now, she seems fairly convinced we're nuts. From her perspective that is, though I never was good at the whole interraction deal.

It just seems hard to salvage any friendlines is what I'm trying to get across, since just following her is interpreted as an unfriendly act.

> How much charge do we have remaining?

I see one of two options here. One is that we fire off whatever remaining charge we have at the 'geist in an attempt to slow her down, which I would have no problem with after she ran across Tenshi's shadow. The other would be to slow down a bit, grab a hold of Tenshi, and use our combined efforts to keep a decent speed going while Tenshi recovers.

We could also conceivably do both, depending on the outcome of the first thing.

Marokuu · « **Reply #518 on:** January 02, 2011, 05:05:46 PM »

So we're pretty much trying to incapacitate her right now, I believe the first option will be the most viable one, depending on our charge of course.

I'll leave it up to you in any case, I just can't figure stuff out right now... plus I'm lazy

>You direct a bolt of lighting in front of the poltergeist. She has a few yards on you, and in front of her is a little ways yet. The lighting doesn't come down perfectly in front of her, but rather a yard off to the side. Still, it is enough to cause her to cry out and throw her off balance; you are able to close some distance before she is able to regain her footing properly.
