To Catch a Crimelord, or Down the Rabbit Hole (garyh judging)

[industrygothica]

Scanning for threats, Carolina follows the group through the eastern corridor. Her crossbow is loaded and ready.

Georg turns around to catch up to the rest of the group, mumbling under his breath Don't forget the dwarf with the light.

As Kruk's light from the shield moves around the corner, he notices something.

[sblock=Kruk]
The sight is horrifying. It appears that a pair of dwarves are consuming the corpses of their fellows. The duo looks up at you with their gore stained clothing, one has the entrails of the corpse hanging out of its mouth, while the other is currently tearing apart the spleen. Their eyes focus on you as they stand in the edge of the light spell, "Ahhh, fresh meat, come brother" the one says, throwing the spleen down and standing up.

ooc - they're in O27 & O29

[sblock=Lily/Raiyek/Perception DC 21]
You hear movement from the western fork, sounds like two sets of humanoids moving your way, and then you hear the heavy, plodding footfalls of a much larger creature moving your way[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC All]
If you succeed on the perception check, or are Kruk, please roll init and it'll be surprise round[/sblock]

 

[johnmeier1]

Georg looks around at the putrefied corpses with revulsion. With no free hands he seems fixated on trying to shut his nose through sheer force of will.

Grim darts a quick glance up the tunnel. "Something's coming this way!" he hisses, and prepares to attack.

So yeah. Wish I'd rolled that crit for my daily.

[Oni]

Lily pulled a face when the light revealed their surroundings, but kept quiet. With a worried look on her face she followed behind Raiyek. Suddenly a sound caught her attention and her eyes began to grow wider, shining in the light from the sunrod.

Ee, something's coming, she whispered.

[sblock=ooc]

Heh, sounds like they've got a cave troll.

Initiative (1d20+1=5)

[renau1g]

Grim reacts quickly, he has a chance to act before the enemies arrive.

[sblock=ooc]
*Your DM messed up. I read the sblocks for a different creature. No surprise round, they had no ranks in stealth (especially not the big thing ). Oh, and Lord S has been MIA for about a week or so with no notice. He'll be NPC'd until further notice (only will use at-wills, no AP's, etc.)

Grim - you can't see any foes from your current vantage point. Map hasn't changed from last update, just that everyone heard the sounds (everyone can read the sblock)

Init:
Grim - 19 <- you're up
Bad Guys - 17
Raiyek - 15
Kruk - 15
Georg - 14
Carolina - 10
Lily - 5

Raiyek turns towards the sound of the approaching creature, ready to once again defend his allies.

Kruk yells to the flesh eating dwarves. "You may look like one of us...but you are not. Soon you'll taste the blade of my axe!"
