The Blind Watchers of the Sylvan Shard

[Rae ArdGaoth]

[sblock=Spot Check DC: 15]Straight ahead, in a dark corner of the widened tunnel, the roots are wrapped around what seem to be human bodies, stood up and held against the tunnel wall. Everything is motionless.

[sblock=Spot Check DC: 18]Rather, the bodies are moving, ever so slightly. Not breathing, more like twitching. Also, off to the right, is another body, well concealed by the roots around it.

[sblock=Spot Check DC: 20]And the roots are different from the other roots on the walls. These ones are blacker, almost purple. And... yes, they're moving too.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

Initiative please.

Is this a new Spot check, or is the sblock for the one we just rolled. In case its new, spot=14 (16 vs magical beasts).

It must be the strangeness of the sight before him as the normally quick to react Richard seems stalled...

Sorry for my absence guys, but I'm finding I have too much stuff IRL to keep up with my PbP games so I'm going to be bowing out. Good luck and have fun!

OOC: Sorry to see you go, though it seems like the boards are dying due to lack of interest - or perhaps RL has become too strenuous for everyone.
In my case I use these little distractions to keep the RL stresses from overtaking my focus...

 

[Richard Rawen]

[sblock=poke]Time seems to slow then stop, Richard looks around... it's so strange, as if the world had stopped and he was left alone in time.
Picking up a small stick the young fighter wanders over to the DM ...

Lucien offers to help guide the blind Brothers out of the Heartroots, and he departs with them.

As you enter the chamber, Richard and Tumna notice two human bodies, held upright against the tunnel wall by entangling roots. They're about to tell the others when the bodies begin to thrash wildly, ripping free of the roots. One of them leaves an arm behind; it seems not to notice. Something flings towards the middle of the chamber, and Rinya and Tumna are engulfed in silence.

Richard and Tumna may act in a surprise round, Tumna first.

Tumna...

Richard...

Now a third undead becomes apparent. It lumbers towards you from the far wall. (OOC: This is U3 on the map. Pretend it's not there until this moment in the combat, please.)
