Wishing he was able to make a response in imitation of Szerlich, Rogan patiently waits with his bow drawn until he can spot the approaching Lizardfolk.
[sblock=ooc]In relationship to where Aern and the captives are, and where we are situated, where is the lizardfolk approaching from?[/sblock]

With nothing but the sounds of the jungle to be heard... the group waits. It was figured by some of the party that the strain of the shout they heard, and the volume at which the shout arrived, that the lizard that was calling out for Szerlich was probably only about 100 feet away or so to the north, coming down from the direction of the temple.
However, in the next few moments when they'd expect the sounds of footsteps to start being heard... there is nothing.

After the second call out from the lizards to the north garnered no response... the footsteps coming your way stopped. Your strain to listen, and just barely hear some mumbling in draconic between what you gather to be at least two lizardfolk. It is very hard to hear them due to their low volume and the noise pollution of the surrounding jungle, but you think you catch the words "response", "where", "problem", "check" and "back".[/sblock]
The Temple is to the north at least a three to five minute walk you would guess (if not a bit farther). The voice of the lizardfolk came from this direction at least 100 plus feet away.

Standing up a bit and using the tree for cover from the north, Rogan looks to his companions. Pointing to his chest to signal himself, he then points to his ear and then holds up two fingers. After that he has a look of puzzlement on his face.
The group looks to the north as another shout occurs in the hissing and clicking language only a few of you understand. However, you can all tell it's closer this time.
[sblock=Draconic speakers: ] "Szerlich!!! SZERLICH!!! Where are you?!? What's going on?!?" [/sblock]
Soon, a single, very large lizardfolk with black scales appears on the trail walking your way. Compared to the poison dusk that Aern is immitating, or even the regular ones you met on the way here... this blackscale lizardfolk is much larger... at least nine feet tall or so, and just as broad. He carries a huge spiked club in his hand and moves quickly. When he sees the disguised Aern standing in the path, he noticeably relaxes a bit... but then he sees the two humans lying on the ground at his feet and his grip on the club tightens. He stops short, staying about 30 feet away from Aern, and then calls out to him. (Blackscale lizardfolk stands at B10)

Brother Donovan, human cleric
Donovan feels his heart speed up as he hears the lizardfolk so close. Despite his body's clear readiness to engage a threat, he forces himself to continue his ruse of unconsciousness until he hears a clear signal from the others that they're dropping the act.
