Search in the Dark

[Erwinfoxjj]

Hralfgar clammors ahead, minding his flame and the surroundings. He moves forward carefully but takes no notice as to how loud he is, he figures the flame is more than enough to give away his presence. He tries to put about 20 feet between him and thee others, in case of an ambush they are not trapped as well.

"Now ye's gones ana' dones it!," the dwarf roars emerging from the shadows in front of the group. "Greens is nay good enuff' ta be describen' all ye."

His falchion is in his hands and he looks ready to use it. "Could nay try alittle stealth an in nows ye ares surrounded by ays flamin' pack o' wolves!" he gestures to the surronding darkness as if to point out the creatures.

"Well get yerselves readin' fur ays fight!" he says turning to look out into the darkness.

1d20+4 → [14,4] = (18)

With sword and shield in hand, Hralfgar moves to position his back to the tree, the torch in his shield hand.(OOC is this allowed??) "Don't let them behind you!" Warns Hralfgar, remembering his hunts with the his father. He steadys himself, taking the defensive route until he sees his enemy, creating a total defense with the tree to his back.

Initative:
Trinham 9
Shinn 26
Martomum 13
Hralfgar 18
wolves 1 [/sblock]

The forest is dark but not silent, something lurks out in the darkness beyond the torchlight. The rustle of the brush and the crunch of fallen branches as they are knocked about mingles with the sound of the nightbirds and crickets.

Straining to see into the darkness you catch a glimpse of something moving. Just a dark shadow in the dark but it did move then disappeared. Then another, another, a third? (Maybe counting isn't to good for morale.)

[sblock=to the greenies] "Hrphm!! Luck'en fur ye dat's HolyMan lettins me be speakin' ta ye heres. Now ye bunch o' greenies listens ups!

Shinn

Taking the last few moments Shinn prepares for a devastating ambush. He readies a total defense.

 

[ghostcat]

With longsword in hand, Trinham prepares to cast Flare as soon as he sees the whites (or in the case of wolves, the gleam) of their eyes.

[sblock="OOC"]Ready action, cast Flare on a wolf's eyes as soon as it is in range.[/sblock]

End Round 1

Martomum drops back till he is standing close to Hralfgar. He backs up with his falchion in hand before him in a defensive gesture. "Ats good lads, keep readies they won't be backing out nows." he tells the already on edge warriors.
