The sound of running feet seems to stop down the temple hallway where the first group came from. A voice in the distance calls out in a language Catherine recognizes as halfling, Squad 1 report your status! Dusty reported a battle being fought here.

The man looks up at Kaelan, his eyes wide. "I never seen him use magic. But I only seen him a few times. He tells us what to do, he don't go out and do things with us."

It looks to me as if the party is preparing to face the bandit reinforcements. Is this correct? If so, I will have that started tomorrow morning.

You are correct. As far as anyone can tell, there is no opening on the top of the ruin, and the entire thing is quite overgrown.

The bandit that Darrick knocked out is still unconscious. The other looks between Catherine and Charles, focusing on Charles after his outburst. "Aye, I don't know exactly how many are inside now. Janus doesn't tell us everyone's plans. Only he knows. Marx and I ran out here, we left Dusty...

(I'm just going to use Charles' rolls from last round this time, if that's ok.) Charles stabbed his spear towards Bandit2, but the bandit is able to dance out of the way. Darrick strides forward towards Bandit1, and hits him with the flat of his blade. The bandit is clocked across the face, and...

Charles draws his weapon and moves in to position beside Darrick, in front of Bandit2. Darrick gets to his feet, sneering at Bandit1. Trebuchet raises his left arm, and his palm whirs and opens. "Clear the firing area." A bright yellow ord shoots form his palm and connects with Bandit1's...

EvolutionKB= Yes, the bandits are considered flat-footed. As for their armor, at a quick glance all that anyone can tell is that they are wearing armor. If Kaelan would like to spend an action to identify it, that is fine. BRP2= Since this is a surprise round, the PCs only get a single action...

As soon as Darrick's, ah, "performance" starts, the voices immediately cease. There is a pause, then the sound of two pairs of running feet. As soon as the bandits are in view, it is obvious they have not bought in to the ploy, their weapons are drawn and they quickly scan the area...

There are random rocks and brush that could possible be used for cover, and the entrance to the ruin is only about 10 feet wide, so they could hide off to either side of it. Sepoto carefully moves forward in to the shadows. To his ears, he makes far too much noise on the irregular floor of the...

(Ok, I know that Shayuri is out of town, so he won't be weighing in. However, I do need to know what the rest of the characters are doing. Will they be charging in to the temple? Or do they have other actions in mind?)

No, Charles does not recognize the language, either.

Sepoto leans in to listen more closely. He is able to clearly hear two distinct voices. However, they are speaking in a language he does not recognize. They are speaking rather loudly, and Sepoto can hear intermittent laughter. From his estimation, Sepoto would guess that the voices are 50 to...

(Taking some liberty here, Yeoman, hope you don't mind. Just wanted to get this moving...) On Catherine's advice, everyone approaches the ruin carefully. They are easily able to find an entrance, it has no door just a hole in the side of the temple. It appears that the group can easily proceed...

The night passes uneventfully. The group is far enough away from the wreckage of the caravan to be undisturbed by scavengers, and the bandits probably will not be missed for at least a day. As everyone eats breakfast and packs up, they are pleased to note that the weather seems to have cleared...

The tattoo was an abstract pattern, that roughly resembled a stylized H.

Well, I'll assume that the group hid the gear, unless someone does have a bag of holding. Moving on! After the group stows the gear and takes care of the bodies as best they can, they resume their formation and continue through the jungle. The thunder continues to rumble, and the sky darkens a...

Ok, for actions between the Academy and the fight with the dinos, everyone is awarded 300exp. Is the group taking anything from the bandits with them? And are they heading towards the temple or back to Morian Valley?

Catherine examines the bodies after Kaelan, and is able to determine that the bodies appear to have been here for about 4 days give or take. Three of the bodies seem to have been of civilian men, they are wearing no armor and have no weapons. The other three bodies appear to have been at least...

You are right, the MIC isn't entirely clear. However, since a double weapon can have two different "heads", for example one of cold iron and one of silver, I am going to say that Kaelan may have two crystals attacked to his weapon. So, since the crystal is currently attacked to the "main" end, I...
