[QUOTE="Neurotic, post: 7112486, member: 24380"] [OOC] Questions first: - eight boys...how old are they? (I mean, is the oldest 16-20 and youngest 8 or they are brothers by family (but not real blood brothers) - witnesses? Obviously, someone saw unnatural fires et al...but I'm wondering if it is only a single witness ;) - what prevented those on the burned ship to jump into the water - and finally, why would brothers burn both crew and cargo, what is the benefit of losing entire load - if the cargo didn't burn, who took it [/OOC] Dark figure prowled the night - even most vicious of cutthroats would shrink away from this one if they only bothered to look up. As the cloud moved from the moon face, the figure hanging under the roof was illuminated for shortest of instants before retreating deeper under the awning. And what moonlight showed would confirm what frightened whispers told about the prowler - clearly lupine head, body dark as the darkest night and claws at the tips of the fingers - a werewolf straight from children horror stories hangs under the roof only alley separating it from the house in which eight boys are kept. It moved surely in total darkness, one more proof of its supernatural nature. It looked around once, twice, checked the cloud so it doesn't reveal it again and started down the wall, head first like some giant lizard. As it came down, it flipped the legs down and in quick three strides came to the wall of the guarded house and in seconds it was on the roof. Vertical wall slowed it just enough that an observer (if there were any besides rats) would notice it took some effort. No human strength could bring the body so fast upwards especially once it came to just under a roof and pulled itself above with slight push of the legs and single hand. Coming at the guard from unexpected direction, two saex dropped him safely to the roof. Wolfman quickly positioned him so he looks like he's sitting and still doing his guard duty before opening the hatch and slipping down into the darkened house. [sblock=Example rolls] [url=http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=163773]Attack: 1D20+7 = [17]+7 = 24 1D20+7 = [19]+7 = 26 1D4+3+2D8 = [3]+3+[6, 5] = 17 1D4+3+2D8 = [1]+3+[8, 8] = 20 [/url] - potential crit, not re-rolling - non-lethal, guard is down unless he's 5th+ level barbarian I probably need some stealth, will roll if needed - but this is just intro, right?
