Jarren continues to scan the woods as if he had seen nothing, hoping that the distance will be sufficient to cover up any tell tale signs in his body language. "They're still here," he says in a grim, quiet voice. "Watching us from the trees. I'm for running them down, but we need to be careful...

If they're only sixty feet away then I guess we'd hear them if they were running, so are they standing still, creeping away quietly, or what? It makes a difference since if they're motionless (and maybe setting up an ambush) then Jarren's response will be quite different than if they seem to be...

Grys rounds the corner and immediately spies a humanoid figure enveloped in a heavy robe, some way off down the corridor to the right. "Fools!" comes a screeching voice as the man ducks out of sight to his left. "You should never have come here." Orsik - 22 Enemies - 16 - readied an action...

"Cretinous creature, what are you doing?" Colgrave scoffs, tossing his magic orb lightly in his left hand. "THERE is your foe," he proclaims, thrusting his staff in the direction of the tentacled creature. "Get him!" Whatever enchantment Colgrave was attempting to weave has clearly failed...

Sighing in disgust as her chosen quarry hops nonchalantly away to safety, Kasha sets her eyes on a new frog - RAM TIGER's devourer - and yells to Jax as she moves behind it, motioning frantically to the kobold to close in on its other side. "Come on shorty, this one's asking for it!" Move to...

The group hold their position, bracing themselves for combat, but as the moments drag on it becomes apparent that whatever might lurk around the corner is disinclined to make itself known. The intermittent noises continue, but don't seem to be coming any closer.

I like to keep open the option of rolling Initiative for players since sometimes it can really slow things down when combat is ready to start but we have to wait for people to roll Initiative and they're slow about it. In this case, though, combat is imminent but hasn't actually started (as in...

The group advance through the catacombs and pause just in front of the divide where tunnels lead off to the north and south. To the north, the tunnel entrance is flanked by alcoves containing a pair of torch holders wrought in silver and studded with gems. The ominous noises of movement still...

Actually I think the Mantle only adds to checks, not the passive scores. Could be wrong though.

With the giant reptile having been hauled conveniently to her very feet, Kasha twirls her blade once and then stabs it downwards to skewer the croc and finish it off. In its frenzied thrashings, though, the beast squirms away from her attack, and Kasha hurriedly decides that she has better...

Nah, no mechanical issues - Goliaths are still medium sized, so I'm loathe to make you suffer for the fluff choice of making your character tall. The ceiling is about seven feet, so Orsik will certainly be stooping rather hard, but I'm not going to be applying mechanical penalties.

Khalil looks around for a long moment before moving, trying to get a sense of his situation before committing himself. Finding himself unrestrained and seemingly unharmed, he slowly sits up and perches himself on a corner of the bed frame, looking carefully around at these others - his captors...

Arshen sprints up and dives upon the bizarre creature, aiming to hold it fast and prise its legs from their hold upon his companion. Move up and join the grapple - Grapple Check 1d20+5=14, grapple damage on a hit 1d6+3=6 Designate Rast as Dodge Target, AC vs it is 16.

As the group prepare to descend, Baracus calls a halt and once again seems overcome with weakness - it seems that his experiences upstairs have left a more lasting impression on him than on the rest of you. His breathing is laboured and he seems unable to focus on anything, his eyes flitting...

All this trudging through muddy water isn't really up Kasha's alley, but she consoles herself by whistling tunelessly and kicking up great splashes of water as she goes along. Happily absorbed in these pastimes, she's not quick enough to react at the sight of the reptilian predators ahead...

Really sorry guys, I've had a crazy week. Fixing up the map now, I'll post within a couple of hours.

Jarren climbs the stairs to the outdoors, remaining behind Unit 16 in case of an ambush. "Let me see what kind of trail they've left," he says grimly. Perception 1d20+16=24... exactly the same as my passive Perception, thanks to Talkrai's mantle. Hmm.
