4-6 gives initiative to them!
Rand didn't use his action in hand so he loses it.
On the bright side, the trogs roll like crap this turn, managing to inflict just one damage on Galder and that's it.
Xavier wobbles across!

No luck on finding a second tie point to the east.
Cavern east is now full.
Woo Xavier made it!!!!!!!!!!
We should probably get the second rope up if we can.
Also Ush if we used the second rope to fortify the first would it be easier for people to cross?
And Xavier will attack a Trog this turn if he can or move.
Also would it be possible for a couple of people to hold the one side of the second rope and it be steady enough for someone to cross?
Indeed!
The throne room is built like a giant arena. Lit by the transparent dome overhead marking the top of the palace, all around the middle are metallic steps where people sit or stand. There must be hundreds there, baying and cheering as they watch the Emperor receive his audiences.
In the middle is a large open area. The throne is in the centre, the place from which the Emperor makes all his ranting speeches he broadcasts across the galaxy,m talking of his supremacy. Behind it are the many display cases that hold his trophies... though hard to make out small objects from where you are at the top of the west side of the steps.
Rivas is on the throne- a bald man, but strong and powerful. he is surrounded by his eleite bodyguard bearing their melee weapons that is their mark, and further out by many more mundane guards.
The crowd is cheering- it seems the latest supplicant is just coming forwards to address Rivas.
Ok, Edna, you have indeed found a better seat!
How is your Observation?
The man currently in front of the Emperor is begging for tax relief- to the jeers and amusement of the crowd. He says that owing to a leg injury he can't do mining work, but due to no decision having been made yet about whether his employers were liable for his injury, he's still being taxed as if he is working- and his family is destitute as a result.
