it comes
Rosa is the first to spot the monstosity as it approaches within 45 feet of the clearing and 70 feet from her. A 9 foot tall black and red scaled bipedal reptile moves up the widened path, casually and nonchallantly swinging its massive spiked club, crushing branches and limbs that extend out onto the path. It is muttering something in draconic, but she can't quite make out what it is saying yet. It is clear that the crested giant is probably one of the creatures responsible for the large tracks she found earlier.
OOC Rosa gets one free standard action before it emerges into the clearing, although technically it will still benefit from "jungle" terrain until it is in the open; The path winds a bit thus making it hard to get a clear shot. Hightower technically gets a free standard action as well, but since he won't see it until it is just outside the clearing and isn't prone to ranged attacks I figure Vertexx69 will probably wait until it is in the clear unless he wants to use his standard to take an improved Knowledge Nature check.
OOC Only knowledge nature is appropriate to identify this particular creature. Once Rosa (and possibly Hightower) take their actions, we go to regular rounds.
