In regards to bluffing Party members. For the sake of letting in game conversation go without the need of my constant supervision, I'm just going to say that all in party bluff may be taken with a grain of salt. Meaning if a party member wants to refuse to believe you, it's not against the rules. However, keep in mind, as far as role playing goes, most of you are playing fairly gullible characters when it comes to sense motive checks. Twin, will win almost all bluff/sense motive checks against a party member. So unless fairly unbelievable, almost everything Twin's character says should be assumed to be true.
In regards to the exchange between the man and the kobold that just took place. I saw nothing wrong with it honestly. Even if Vire believed Cile to be the lord of all the dragonspawn, he doesn't exactly have to bow. A normal kobold would most likely though. Just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't disapproving of the current events, but trying to set a standard for future ones.

That's not what he said, though.

I was exaggerating. I was simply trying to convey that Player characters don't act the same way NPC's do when it comes to things like bluffing. Meta gaming aside, your characters can always choose not to believe something. Though without meta gaming, it's hard to argue some bluff checks. One such bluff check is Twin's character's identity. As far as anyone in the party knows, twin's character is known as, Cile the Magnificent Flame-master! Whether they want to think that's an exaggerated title or not is up to them.

I always wondered how Poké balls worked

I was a little surprised that Cile was able to smash the non-glowing gems without being absorbed by the first one. Perhaps his shoes protected him?

Surprised me too.
As far as my character sheet says, Cile isn't even wearing shoes.

Just to clarify this:

Thrown as such.

Shoes, and clothing in general are normally assumed on characters. You don't really have to write down every article of clothing.

Still waiting on the token that Cile threw to take effect. I assume that if it failed we would be told so...

Oh, lol. My understanding was that Cile simply threw his magic item between Vire and Ehaism. I didn't really notice that this was activating it. ( I was also contemplation the skills involved with throwing a feather that far.)

The item isn't really meant to be thrown and thus used in the way described. Activating the item is an instantaneous effect. When it's activated, a tree appears in front of the item holder.

So, the item does activates, but the act of getting it in between the two lizardy people would involve running between them, and the current state of events would dictate that they wouldn't be too happy if Cile ran inbetween them. We'll chalk this up to the fact that it was most likely the characters first feather token, and thus the exact use of the item wasn't known to Cile.

This was also the player's first use of a feather token!

Also,

hooray for me being far enough away to avoid the rocks!!

good thing Cile told Lao to run!

earlier, you said EVERYBODY takes 7 dmg, so i had given myself that much damage. now i see you changed it so that myself, Vire's familiar, and the ox were able to avoid that.

Yea, I had noticed that The wagon and Liev were basically out of the room and thus wouldn't have really been in the line of fire. You were really on the edge, and I flipped a coin to decide whether or not to damage you too.

And thus Vire takes his first damage for the campaign... Allies are more dangerous than enemies!

And here I was just trying to find the least bloody method to get things rolling.
