@Briza

This is why I told everyone to be on the train barge. You aren't going to catch a moving transit, smh.

@Inkarnate

well, Aer could do it pretty easily with her magic. Further details in the hider.

That's not how magic works. That's not how it works at all.

Ohhh! Perfect, then. Uriel misses his opportunity. Take that, Gary Sue!

[BrokenPromise]

You're right, that was unfair...

I suspect that a normal barge moves at a speed of about thirty feet (six spaces) per turn, provided a turn lasts about ten seconds as described in the 5E rule book. Or any version of D&D really. But since you keep calling this barge a train, I have to assume it can move at least twice that speed, maybe a little faster. Hell, let's say it can move eighteen spaces (ninety feet) per ten seconds. We'll pretend it's the oceanic express. Easily the most bad ass water train of them all.



But according to 5e rules, especially at Aer's level, a rouge can dash as a free action. That means that her move actions carry her twice as far. So instead of moving six spaces as a move action, she can move twelve spaces. and she can move a total of twenty-four spaces if she uses her move and attack action in a single turn. That's a hundred-and-twenty feet for ten seconds of movement. And if she has the trailblazing feet, her base movement speed goes up two spaces. So it's eight, sixteen, thirty two! A hundred-and-sixty feet per ten seconds compared to the train's ninety! And she's not even using any movement buff spells yet!

I think she could catch that barge fam.

[mickilennial]

My GM Ruling says 'no', but I do appreciate your efforts you put to try to make a convincing argument for it.

@Inkarnate If you want a serious response, I think I detailed how Aer's magic works pretty well for the duel we were going to have. That aspect of her combustion magic is more or less the same. She can propel herself with micro explosions, and can give herself magma skates that makes her capable of near friction free movement. She effectively becomes a land sled outfitted with a rocket. Aer would likely scorch the ground a little bit with her movements, but I wouldn't be surprised if Aer was the fastest character in the RP, at least in terms of max land speed. I personally don't think a barge that is designed to ferry so many people really stands a chance. It's going up against a highly trained inquisitor. She might not be a grand inquisitor, but I don't think inquisitors would be so feared if they could be outrun by a barge.

Aer's exact location and the time she entered the tavern was never specified, so it's even possible she got a head start on the barge, or is already more or less in the direction it's headed in.

She also has shown knowledge about Alaric Fasarus, so she likely knows roughly where he is. Maybe she doesn't catch the train, but she knows which station he's getting off at and probably where he's going from there. Being good at collecting and retaining knowledge is actually something I put on her character sheet.

...And that's why I think that barge can't escape Aer.
