"I don't think they counted on anaone help'n me," Shari says. "I'd ratha be sure I'd lost them before I set sail, sounds too vulnerable. If you've got somewhere in tha Jungle to go, we kin head there. Else, there must be somewhere we can loose r'selves in Stormreach."

 

[Animus]

OOC: Jungles then? I was just waiting to see if you came to consensus, but some have been absent (sukael returned though). Jungles it is.

After deliberation, you have decided to loose yourselves in the jungles of Xen'drik until the Dark looses chase.

"The jungle then? Good luck, and may the Sovereigns protect you," Gek d'Tharashk says to you. "Aaron, keep in touch."

"Not the best idea, but it's your choice," Red says. "You can get there through the sewers. Just hang a left, then take your second right, then your fourth right after that, and you should be led straight there. I hope you're not making a mistake."

You get some rest and head out, via the sewers.

You head down into the sewers through Red's secret entrance. Like he instructed, you go left, and then take the fourth right. It is right about here where you have a feeling of uneasiness..."

[sblock=OOC] I need...
-Marching order (15' wide corridors)
-Light sources
-Anything else you might have normally done.

OOC: Aaron would prefer to be second. He'll ask Red how long the trip down the tunnel is, and if it's a ways he'll ask to borrow a torch.

"You too Gek, stay well. I'll let you know how this turns out." He clasps Gek's hand firmly in a farewell.

OOC: OK, now that you've set your marching order...

Notice checks for Shadow, Hoborne, Adrian, Aaron, Qualos (1d20+6=12, 1d20+6=26, 1d20+3=22, 1d20+6=23, 1d20+1=19)

You stop. Something seemed to have moved ahead, but you are not sure what. You inch a little closer, and then it shows itself. A creature more than 20 feet long and easily over 1000 pounds rushes from out of the sewer water...

Inits for Shadow, Hoborne, Adrian, Aaron, Qualos (1d20+2=15, 1d20+3=4, 1d20+2=19, 1d20+1=19, 1d20+3=9)
Croc's init (1d20+1=8)
You all react for battle as a humongous crocodile lunges from out of the sewer water to attack!

[sukael]

Adrian mutters a particularly handy curse in Infernal as he twists his hands together, readying a spell.

OOC: Ready action to cast scorching ray at the croc if it comes within 30 feet.

 

[Bront]

Shadow will draw her bow and take a (5') step back before firing at the croc.

[sblock=OOC]MW Composite Longbow +4 1d8 20x3
It's flat footed, but I'm not close enough for a sneak attack [/sblock]

Qualos hp:22/ac:24

Qualos comes up front he asks "can I?" with a little laugh he advances and will strike the first croc that attacks him. Longsword in hand he advances his fur raises as he get into 5' to the crocs.

[Andor]

Aaron swings his shield to the ready and snatchs a wand from it's holster on his hip. He point's it at the croc but only a few sparks dribble weakly from the tip of the wand. "Shag'at Mol!"* He curses.

[sblock="OOC:"]*Cannot be translated from Orc due to Erics grandma. Rolled a 13 on Use Magic Device check, technically a 15 since I forgot to add the Artiisan bonus, but it still fails.[/sblock]

"Frell" Aaron slips the wand between his teeth and draws his flail swinging a viscious blow down on the crocs head.

OOC: I seemed to have issues with the dice roller, so I'll let you do it.
