Alistia wakes up and yelps at the sight of the strange creature, "Wha- wha- what is it?!" she frantically scrabbles for the club and scrambles to her feet.

[sblock=ooc]Initiative (1d20 2=13) move action - grab club, move action - stand from prone. Hope the image comes out ok![/sblock]

Although woken suddenly, Cleyra quickly makes a survey of the situation while drawing the bow and quiver from her pack. Only detecting one foe, she leaps from her lying position while keeping the cover of fire between her and the intruder.[sblock=ooc](Initiative 1d20+2=22)

The two large concentric circles are the light radius of the campfire (the inner circle is bright light/no concealment, the outer circle is shadowy illumination/20% concealment, beyond that is near total darkness/50% concealment). Smaller circles are trees, which block line of sight. The entire area except the 10-15 feet immediately surrounding the camp fire is covered in underbrush, but not heavy enough to count as difficult terrain.[/sblock]

Everything seems to happen all at once. The camp explodes in a frenzy of shouting, chanting, and hurried movement. Enko moves to place himself between Alistia and danger; at the same time, his opponent scrambles forward on all fours, pale white knife clenched tightly in one clawed hand. Erin's chanting comes to a crescendo and sparks chase across her fingers then leap in a coruscating wave towards the charging thing. It staggers and screams in agony as the electricity crawls over its body (hit, 2 damage), then leaps the last five feet, plunging its knife deep into Enko's side (confirmed critical, 1 wound point damage) and grinning at him with a face full of sharp, pointy teeth until Growl leaps on it from behind, tearing at its back with savage efficiency and bearing it to the ground as it yelps in surprise (hit, 5 damage, trip successful). Even as it falls, however, more ululating shrieks answer from the forest beyond the fire's light and three more things scamper into the fire light.

Enko's teeth clack together audibly (at least for Alistia) as he grits them against the pain. He'd been clawed and bitten before, but he'd never been stabbed by a weapon... "Err... Alistia, stay back..." He draws his knife, but then seeing that the creature has been knocked to the ground, he considers that perhaps this would be a good time to recover from his injury. He touches his free hand to the wound and it quickly closes.

OOC: Cure Minor Wound on Enko

Cleyra notes the appearance of another thing right behind her. Although her instinct is to shout, she suppresses it, staying focused on protecting the group. Flinging an arrow into her bow, she fires at her assailant while stepping back.[sblock=ooc]Standard Action: Fire at thing 3
Move Action: Move away (south-eastish, away from things)[/sblock]

When Ryon's turn comes up and it's time to move, he'll move towards the closest one, the one near Cleyra.

***EDIT: Actually, he'll move right up next to Cleyra. Will draw Shortsword next round.***

Erin at first brightens at the lightning bolt...then looks dismayed as the creature weathers it. She looks around for a weapon...preferably a hunting bow.

"I need a bow or something! Anything!"
 


"A sling?! Spirits take...nevermind!"

Erin taps her fingers together, discharging little residual sparks, then focuses on the creature that looks like it might come for her.

"All right then...I need a weapon little monster. Maybe I'll just take yours!"

She makes a grabbing gesture with her right hand as she says the last word...

(Greater Mage Hand, trying to affect Creature 2. He gets a Will save to negate, otherwise, if I read the spell right, I can move his knife 20 feet towards me this round. The spell's effective Str is 10, so a contest of Str to get control of the knife perhaps? Anyway, DC is 14 for will save. :))
