D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[Creamsteak]

[sblock=Tolan]Yes.[/sblock]

Everyone that moves to catch up with Tolan, you see a silhouette in the fog of a figure standing on a tiny island in the middle of the water.

[sblock=everyone_but_Dent_that_goes_down_the_steps]The island is just the tip of the iceberg. Something is moving in the water below it.[/sblock]

As the group waited for Tolan, Thaliss will murmur a few arcane words, and get closer to the door to listen to the voices.

OOC: FYI: Thaliss speaks Goblin. action: cast guidance [roll=perception]1d20+5[/roll] [roll=guidance]1d4[/roll] note: the dice roller didn't let me add 2 dissimilar dice, please add the two rolls.

Thaliss then proceeds to go where Tolan went, to give him support if necessary.

[sblock=Thaliss]The bugbears seem to be playing a game at the moment.[/sblock]

Dent stood his ground in AH7 by the tower door. He frowned as his comrades hastened toward the pier, but said nothing, not wanting to risk discovery. His senses prickled with unease. Dent paid attention to such instincts. He let himself slip from conscious thought for a moment, willing his inner eye to spark with life.

OOC: Divine Sense: 1 action. Until the end of your next turn, know presence of any desecrated or consecrated place or object; or any celestial, fiend, or undead w/i 60' of you that is not behind total cover. Regain all expended uses with long rest.

Whispering, Damien said, "Uh, guys? I don't know if we should be letting Tolan run off on his own. He did get knocked out in that last fight."

"Wouldn't want one or two running off without the others now, would we?" whispers Carradoc to whoever is closest. But he skulks through the mist towards the pier nonetheless.

Tolan keeps his eyes fixed on the shadowy figure as he slowly put his sword away and pulls out his bow. He moves slowly back up the pier, always facing the silhouette, worried that if he takes his eyes off of it, it'll vanish into the fog.

Once he gets within whisper range of his companions who have moved to join him, he halts and calls out quietly.

"There's someone . . . thing out there. Our boats have been destroyed, but the figure itself doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to bring this whole keep down on our heads."

 

[Creamsteak]

After a moment the object and man drift towards the shore, then slowly saunter up to the land. The man is seemingly unarmored, with a lance at his side and two shortswords nearby. The "island" he stood atop slowly pads its way up onto the dry land. The massive creature is a scaly crocodile, at least 15 feet in length.

 

[Forged Fury]

The massive creature is a scaly crocodile, at least 15 feet in length.

"Looks like we should be leaving..." Damien whispered.

Don't dishonor me by your cowardice. It's not like it's a dragon.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Telepathially, Thaliss addresses the group. if we engage him, the bugbears may hear the combat. We should dispatch the goblins first

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Dent huffed in frustration. It irritated him to be able to hear Thaliss inside his head but to be unable to respond. For a man accustomed to insularity, the invasion of privacy was disconcerting. What 'him'? What the deuce is he nattering on about now? Dent shoved off the wall and moved closer to the pier.

OOC: Move to AH15. Did Dent discover anything from his use of Divine Sense, [MENTION=552]Creamsteak[/MENTION]?
