You fairly fly through the old monastery, Harnry stopping quickly to grab up his kit, and out. Moving quickly, you descend the hill and roll out onto the Pesh fields. Though the adrenaline is flowing and you're stretching your senses to the limit you sense nothing amiss as you close on the bound man's location.

You skid to a stop beside him. He's in pretty bad shape; plainly he's been in the loving care of the Gnolls for some time now. He lies unconscious in his bonds, the rags of his clothing gaping in places to reveal terrible bruising and numerous cuts. As you bend to examine him, Houwlou notes that the earth is trembling slightly . . .

Leif · May 9, 2012

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger4

Howlou quickly looks around for a tree or some other cover within about 30-50 yards of his position. "I feel the ground trembling! Either very many creatures approach rapidly, or else something BIG does!" I'd care for that poor devil later if I was you, Tsadok, we have more pressing business headed our way. If he sees any cover, Houwlou moves to it as quickly as he can.

Harnrey starts casting summon earth elemental

mleibrock · May 10, 2012

Tsadok

Tsadok looks to Houwlou, "Loan me your steel to cut his bonds. I'm going to move him somewhere safer. Whatever is coming, this poor man has no chance against it like this."

Leif · May 10, 2012

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger4

Howlou will pass to Tsadok one of his spare, back-up, non-magical daggers.

booga wugga wugga booga wugga

Harnrey continues to chant a series of words in the earthen tongue, picking up dirt and tracing out a complex geometric design, each leg glowing a tan / taupe color.

casting summ monster II-full round casting time.

Maidhc O Casain · May 11, 2012

There is nothing here in the way of trees - high desert chapparal in the middle of a field of pesh cacti. Houwlou can still remove himself as far as he wants (up to his maximum running movement away from the captive) after giving Tsadok the dagger.

The rumbling grows closer as Tsadok kneels quickly to cut the captive's bonds. He stirs weakly as the young brute jostles him about. You have the man free, but he's semi-conscious at best.

GM:

OK, how's about some initiative rolls, along with your intended actions for the first round. Harnry will finish his spell on his initiative (whenever that comes up), so will be able to act in the first round. Houwlou may state his position (direction and distance from Tsadok and the prisoner) at the time of his initiative, and I'll need to know if Keeland is sticking with his original plan to stay 20' south of the captive.

At this point I'm thinking I'll try this encounter w/out a map, but I may change my mind pretty quickly once we get rolling.

Scott DeWar · May 11, 2012

Harnrey's voice suddenly gets low like whispers of sand across the dunes.
