[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 1804433, member: 11574"] Rain falls all evening as the party licks their wounds in the cave. Morning comes and the rain has yet to let up, it makes everything damp and a cool chill runs through the cave. Benat goes to the cave's mouth and looking out through the rain, she thinks she spots movement in the trees surrounding the cave. Nameroc sends his wolf up alongside of Benat and it smells something foul and not animal. "Rolf smells something disgusting, I think we're about to get guests." Nameroc alerts the group "No, that stench is just the minotaur, have Paquito sit downwind of you, and you should be alright." Benat tells Nameroc Benat decides to be proactive and casts [I]detect evil[/I], getting 1 moderate aura and 5 faint auras. She alerts the rest of the party that they have visitors. Gronar moves up behind Benat and Paquito moves closer to the wall of the cave giving him complete cover from whatever might come up to the cave's mouth. "You of course are aware of the strong pheromone capability of a minotaur. No?" Paquito announces "Perhaps it is a female come-a-calling? No?" "You smell like ass to me, I highly doubt anything would find that captivating." Benat answers *sniff* *sniff* Korg smells his fingers, "Pokey not smell like that, Pokey smell like.." Korg's comment is interrupted by a large snap outside of the cave. The party gets quiet awaiting their guests. Soon an owlbear and a troll emerge from behind the trees.
