M1: Just a Treasure Hunt?? (Bront Judging)

[Mellubb]

One of the guys playing the game says "Sahuigan? We can share this land with them. They are easy to get along with because they depend on people like us for business. Let's play!!" Just as he says this he kicks the ball trying to get it back on the field but misses horribly and the ball sails into the jungle. He receives some jeers from the rest of the crew then runs to fetch the ball.
As he jogs passed the bushes out of sight you hear sceam and then there is a lot of moving leaves and branches and the nothing.

Thral'k

A few seconds after the scream you can see climb up a tree and hold on for dear life.

[stonegod]

Mellub

Who climbs the tree? The person who screamed (hurt/unhurt?) or something else?

[Dirk Nightbreese]

'Vol's Blood!' the Wizard exclaims, jumping to his feet and gathering his things.

In horrid fascination, Genithar watches the signs of a mauling within the jungle.

Grim determination setting upon his face, he pulls his hunting crossbow, smoothly loading a bolt as he commands, 'Shade', Corran, to me. Those unarmed to the surf! Back up!'

Genithar's keen eyes search the jungle for sign of movement or hostility, raising his weapon and pressing himself flat against the tree for cover.

+5 spot, +3 init

[LogicsFate]

Shadé bounds to the wizards side and then runs moves the jungle trying to find the source of the screams.

[Dirk Nightbreese]

The Wizard looks after the rash Shifter in surprise, waving Corran to stay close and follows the woman.

[Mellubb]

thral'k

The man who ran after the ball is in the tree. My bad. He does not appear to be wounded from what you can see.

[Redclaw]

Corran rushes after the elf and shifter, praying under his breath, Guide us in our hunt, and ensure that we are not the hunted.

[stonegod]

Thral'k grins from the mast. They seek to trick. Softskins always false. The lizard hisses in a tongue that it seems natural to him, loud enough for the foolish wizard to hear him.

Draconic

<A false trail. The trickster is hale, and seeks to deceive you of its wounds.>

Mellub

OOC: How far away is the tree?

[Mellubb]

Thral'k

About 75 ft from the boat.

[stonegod]

Mellubb

Thral'k will try to move within 60ft. of the tree while staying on the boat if possible (such has hanging from the side via spider climb.

[LogicsFate]

When Shadé gets to the general area of the screams, she'll stop, look and listen for anything out of the ordinary.

[Dirk Nightbreese]

The Wizard lets Shade' go first, Corran go second, and follows up from behind, his x-bow at the ready as he shouts ahead, 'What do you see!?" and then throws a gaze behind his back, towards the ship, to make sure everything there is alright.

ooc

are their small boats we can take back to the main? if needed? if so, how many?

[Redclaw]

Corran advances, leaving some space between himself and the stealthy shifter, crossbow readied. You flush them out, Shade, and Gen and I will take them down.

[Dirk Nightbreese]

Smirking at the young man's proficientcy as a hunter, Genithar angles away from Corran, so they can both strike at the prey from the sides. Crossbow raised, the Wizard nods at Shade' to continue.

[stonegod]

Seeing the foolish softskins enter the jungle, the lizard shook its head. How many parties had it lead into the bush, only for the softskins to believe they knew what they were doing? How many had made it back alive? Thral'k had. Perhaps a surprise would do them good. Teach them something.
