S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black
As the light begins growing dim and the shadows grow longer, Yoggrith stands patiently. When the vote comes down to him, and all eyes turn to the halfork, his gaze goes out into the city. "Any trail that remains has done so after several days. One more night should not cause any loss of information. And if it does, then our trackers will have to answer to us. Let us refresh ourselves this evening, as it might be the last night of quality rest we receive until we are granted the final great rest."
Thus with a vote of 4 to 2, he joins the others to move back out of the city to go set up camp for the night.

The Forest of Central Xen'drik
The group turns around and heads back towards the 'Teeth.
The thick forest prevents the group from even seeing the tower spire, but they follow their own tracks backwards through the jungle.
This time, the journey is much quick, you've been hiking about 2 hours, Ganyon and Mai Zak are bickering again, which although somewhat irritating, it makes the time pass quicker -- when something just doesn't feel right.
[sblock=Listen DC20]
You here something large -- moving..... somewhere, probably towards your group.
[/sblock]
[sblock=Spot DC20]
Some treetops off to your right are moving back and forth, as if something large was moving by them.
[/sblock]
A brief second afterwards a huge WHOOOSH is heard to your right, and a huge three-horned dinosaur runs straight for the group - barely missing Aeranduil and Morika at the front, but running rampant over the group, by the time you have a chance to react, it is already trampled everyone and is behind Yoggrith and Voadam, near the rear of the group.
[sblock=Spot DC16]
You notice blood streaks down each side of the creatures mouth -- as if it had been eating something that bleeds.
[/sblock]
Dinosaur
OOC: Surprise round - your group appears to have disrupted its feeding -- the dinosaur bursts forth from undergrowth, tramples all but Aeranduil and Morika. Those trampled have 2 choices --- either take an AoO (at -4 to hit) against the beast, or attempt a Reflex Save to take 1/2 damage.
Iniatives and actions for round 1 please.

Ipshivi had been hanging near the back of the group, doing what she could to obscure their tracks- while she knew she couldn't hide the trail completely, she could at least blur a true reading of their numbers. It didn't hurt that she left no tracks of her own... From time to time, as the group's pace wavered she would wander to the front, trying to get a feel for the environment. While the jungle noises were still too unfamiliar to her, something did catch her eye. She barely had time to yelp a warning before the jungle erupted- certainly not enough time to actually help anyone. Her own instinctive dodge carried her off the trail, between two massive feet, and she scrambled to the nearest tree for shelter.

OOC 2: Reflex save attempt for half damage (unless Evasion applies here as well); REF +13= 25, DC unknown; roll Roll Lookup

Believing the odds are slim that even someone as nimble as she can avoid being trampled by the dinosaur, Sanne flashes her rapier instead as it goes by.
When she can move again, she steps into rapier range with the creature (5' step to P26), and attacks again, then stands ready riposte any attacks it makes on her.

It didn't hurt that she left no tracks of her own... From time to time, as the group's pace wavered she would wander to the front, trying to get a feel for the environment. While the jungle noises were still too unfamiliar to her, something did catch her eye. She barely had time to yelp a warning before the jungle erupted- certainly not enough time to actually help anyone. Her own instinctive dodge carried her off the trail, but not out of harms way -- the large feet of the creature smashed her left knee and ankle to the ground with a sickening snap. She scrambled to the nearest tree and climbed up off the ground in her arachnid-like way and hurled a bolt of eldritch energy back towards the monster. A sickening feeling gripped her stomach as she saw the bolt had no effect. [SR check fail]
Believing the odds are slim that even someone as nimble as she can avoid being trampled by the dinosaur, Sanne flashes her rapier instead as it goes by - the blade plunging briefly into the hide of the beast. Sanne realizes quickly that the electrical shock imparted by her blade appeared to have no effect. Her thoughts race back to the run-in with the tiger the day before....
As a small amount of fear creeped into the back of her mind, she stepped closer to the beast and thrusted twice at the creature -- the first was batted away by the beasts' tail, the other hit a tough patch of hide and bounced off.
Seeing her friends in trouble, the shifter grows angry -- horns erupt from her head and a dense layer of fur creeps over her skin. She intones a few words in prayer to the spirits and she calls forth four rays of light, which envelope her wounded comrades briefly.
Voadam is surprisingly nimble for a silver haired wizard as he dives aside to avoid the dinosaur's rush, but the rear leg of the beast catches the wizard in the thigh and throws him hard to the ground. He then scrambles back a bit behind Sanne and draws forth a wand. He points towards the dinosaur as he cries out an arcane command and webs spring up to encapsulate the beast, temporarily entangling it.
Aeranduil quickly rushes through the undergrowth to get in a better position to strike at the beast. He snaps his bow up, and a moment later he sends a trio of arrows streaking through the air -- the first misses, elicting an elven curse, but the second pair strike true. [Move you to N22 - forgot to add in my trees and line of site disruptors! Thx!]
Seeing the size of the creature charging at them, Thanor doesn't even try to get out of its way. Instead, he is determined to make it hurt just as much as it hurts him as it runs by. His surprise at the attack is enough to make his strike ineffective, and he finds himself reeling as the dinosaur thunders by.
Regathering his wits, the dwarf knows his place is in the thick of the battle, so he steps forward and swings his axe -- it tears into the hide on the rump of the creature, opening a small gash. Thanor notices that the electrical nature of his axe seems to not have affected the creature.
His wounds beginning to knit, although slightly, from the dinosaur's rampage, Yoggrith takes the opportunity to infuse his hand with The Shadow's debilitating power, then reaches out to touch the beast.
The beast struggles against the dark power briefly, but it cannot hold out -- a grevious wound erupts upon its flank. [Spell Resistance check PASS with AP usage -- if you prefer not to use one let me know and I'll adjust]
It howls in pain, but quickly returns the favor and smacks the priest across the chest with one of its horns, as Yoggrith moves backwards from it. [AoO HIT]
Sizing up its situation, it roars and stomps its foot as it lowers its head and attempts to gore Thanor, but its foot catches in the soft earth and its horns bury themselves briefly in the forest floor. [Nat 1 on to-hit]

With no one yet having been hurt by the rampaging reptile, Yoggrith takes the opportunity to infuse his hand with The Shadow's debilitating power, then reaches out to touch the beast. (Cast Inflict Critical Wounds defensively: Concentration +19)
Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he then backs away from the triceratops so as to resume his position as group healer. (Move to O24)
