Prime whistles, releasing steam and strikes his shield with the hammer, causing a racket loud enough to wake up the dead and probably his companions too.

[sblock=Equipping DM, please DO NOT read]And don't forget time to don the armor and shields...after spending minor to retrieve it...

Drew reacts quickly, interrupting his slow waking round and getting ready for combat.

Vermitrax is awaken by Prime's battering, and instinctively knows something's wrong. He'll leave the "I tell you so" show for later, now it was time for rending the soul of whatever was going to try to kill the necromancer of the Living Isle. From his position on the tree, he grabs his staff and his spellbook and remains on the branches.

Special: Spellbook[/sblock][/sblock]

Gellan is startled out of a light sleep and rolls quickly to his feet, grasping for the hilts of his tan'gat.

Wha, what happened? Sharpe says sleepily getting up. Did the Necromancer summon something and it got out of control? Maybe a Dracolich!? he says excitedly.

Zharne awakes and reaches for his staff, which aids him in getttin to his feet quicker



[sblock=OOC: response to Equipping - DM, please DO NOT read]Oh , and when in sleeping outdoors, Zharne sleeps in his armor as it offer extra protection from the cold(IE he would otherwise be nude and he ain't that crazy) and has his staff under the pillow/backpack for extra elevation and easy to get.[/sblock]
