[sblock=Ipshivi]
The man behind the block was ~ 60 ft away from the gangway of the airship.

Without a sound, you walk closer to the man. He looks to be in his middle twenties, with short cropped brown hair and several days worth of stubble.

He is dressed in studded leather, with a large green cloak around his shoulders, a morningstar swings from his belt.

As you approach, you notice no change in the man's actions -- he is still intently studying the rest of the group as they walk after the half-orc.

As soon as she saw the green of the man's cloak, Ipshivi realized who he probably was- hadn't their employers mentioned that the Emerald Claw was involved, after all. And his focus made his intent plain- he was trying to get an idea of who was involved here, and what the new arrivals might mean. That was no good, no good at all- they didn't want him to get back to his masters with any useful information.

Before her companions could get too far out of sight, Ipshivi decided to act. She invoked the power of her arcane arts, channeled through her bracers- and as soon as she flickered into view, she was pointing and describing his location as exactly as she could.

OOC: Move to within 30 feet; invoke an eldritch blast, using Bracers of the Entangling Blast to hopefully snare the man long enough for someone to immobilize him further. Attack roll is +12 ranged touch (+13 inside 30 feet), damage base 3d6, +1d6 potential sneak attack, +1 inside 30 feet; Bracers effect means half normal damage, but any target damaged is entangled for 1d3 rounds. Next round- describe location, re-invoke Walk Unseen

Surprise Round:

Before her companions could get too far out of sight, Ipshivi decided to act. She invoked the power of her arcane arts, channeled through her bracers- and as soon as she flickered into view, she was pointing and describing his location as exactly as she could. (Touch attack hit, 6 damage, target is entangled)

Ipshivi materializes 50' behind the group and unleashes a torrent of eldritch energy, colored with flecks of green and brown, towards one of the large stone blocks. A muffled exclamation of obscenities is heard from that general direction. "Over there! There is an invisible man over there by the stone block with the flowering vine!"

Round 1:

Calling upon her powers once again, Ipshivi fades from view. Moments later, a large roiling cloud of mist appears near the stone block (40' diameter hemisphere) .

[sblock=Ipshivi]

As you get closer to the man (20' move -- now 10' ft away from him), you notice that his movements appear to be shrouded in shadow.

The man struggles against the magic that binds him, closes his eyes and murmurs a few words. (Concentration Check Successful) Instantly a roiling cloud of sickly lookly mist billows forth from him, which quickly envelopes the invisible halfling. The vapors make you want to wretch and you feel sapped of strength. (Fort save failed, you are fatigued)

The man then turns and begins to fly in the opposite direction from you, appearing to be born aloft by shadow itself. (5ft rise off the ground, turn 90 degrees and move 5' away from you)

You guess that he is about 70 feet from an outcropping of trees on the far side of the landing area.

Voadam

Legend
Voadam draws a dark ash wand from his sash and spins, his eye picking out a second anchor point from the stone quickly. He raises the wand and calls forth a command word "Arachne." as he channels the wand's magic.

A great web stretches from the stone area to engulf any hidden personage therein.

Sanne runs in the direction that Ipshivi indicated, but lacking any ability to move faster than her legs can carry her short of piloting an airship, and being something of melee specialist in a fight, she has little confidence she'll be able to do much in this fight. A fact she has no intention of letting on.

"We need this person alive, if possible." Sanne says.

"What, fun's getting started already? Let me see what I can find to add to the pot," Morika says with a snarling grin. Throwing her arms wide, the wind itself shifts into insubstantial feathery wings, which quickly bear her aloft. Howling a battlecry, she flies towards beclouded area, calling up her wild instincts to let her see anything hidden.

OOC: Morika casts master air as a standard action, flies towards the cloud 30 ft. as a move, and casts wild instincts as a swift action, bringing her Spot and Listen bonuses up to +23.

Aeranduil Warraven - Elf Archer

As the commotion breaks out, Aeranduil swiftly draws and knocks arrow, searching for a target.

Assuming the target becomes visible, Aeranduil will try to put an arrow through his leg or such. I know called shots aren't normally allowed, but it seems like a reasonable thing to try. :)

Initiative +6, Attack +16 (1d8+6+1d8)
 

DEFCON 1

Legend
Supporter
Yoggrith had been following behind Barrak at the same steady pace the Tharashk mercenary was... his eyes scouting out past the halfork and two humans to everything further in front.

When the halfling pops into view and all hell breaks loose, the Favored of the Shadow stops walking, and says gently to the three men in front of him "Please wait a moment. We seem to have stopped."

He then stands rock still and listens as the sounds of battle break out behind him.

OOC: Ready action to move to anyone in the party who sounds as though they've been injured, then cast appropriate healing.

Voadam draws a dark ash wand from his sash and spins, his eye picking out a second anchor point from the stone quickly. He raises the wand and calls forth a command word "Arachne." as he channels the wand's magic. Sticky, gray webs materialize out of thin air, anchored between two large pieces of ancient stone. (Ipshivi reflex save success – entangled)

Ipshivi drew a deep whistling breath- she felt as if she had been running for miles. She scampered quickly out of the fog and the webs, the silvery threads seeming to have no more hold on her than the mist did. "What, no one else can see the invisible? He is right there, floating away in the air just where the webs end!" Between her fatigue and the unaccustomed shouting, her voice was as shrill and brittle as a bird's- and she punctuated it with another blast of arcane force.

[sblock=Ipshivi] Movement from F16 to C21 is > 20' move. C19 is a 20' move and gets you out of the cloud. [/sblock]

Jaxel lets out a loud snort,”Aye, we be playin’ a game o’ hide and seek, I guess.” The small gnome then hurries as fast as his short legs can carry him towards the web.

[sblock=Ipshivi] You last saw the man heading from square G20 to G21, appearing to be gaining a small amount of altitude, before the webs obscured your vision of him. He still appeared to be invisible to your senses. [/sblock]

OOC: Move diagonally to C 19 (with Spiderwalk, the webs won't slow her from her normal 20 foot move). If she can still see her target, fire another eldritch blast (3d6 damage, +12 ranged touch; both +1 inside 30 feet). She hates being visible, but if she is the only one who can see him, she attack as best she can.
