[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8637993, member: 59816"] As Hawthorne led the way toward Crock Jon, Kaliban (who was next behind him on their rope-line) suddenly felt the line behind him go slack. He pulled the rope to himself, only to find a frayed, severed end. Hawthorne grew wary as he approached 'Crock Jon'. Kaliban was trying to get his attention from behind, but the big figure that moved through the moss before him seemed odd, in spite of insisting, [b]"I'm here, suh."[/b] in a voice very much like the big half-orc's. Hawthorne brushed the moss aside to reveal another twisted, bug-like creature like the one they had seen in the mayor's mansion. Ethian, who had been next in line, thought he felt Kaliban tug him forward, and heard Crock Jon's call from his right. He followed who he thought was Kaliban down a tunnel, before suddenly realizing that it was not the gnome at all. The figure in front of him stood up from being bent over (it had seemed only a moment before to be the correct height for a gnome - a fact that now seemed impossible, and Ethian cursed himself for a fool.) The creature let go of the severed rope and turned a bug-like face toward him, reaching out with a claw-like pincer. Ethian stumbled backward, bumping into someone behind him (he was relieved to find that it was Argenti, just as it should be. Behind Argenti, at the end of the rope, was Cairn, who suddenly felt something grab at him from behind, pinching him hard. It was another of these misshapen, bug-like creatures. The real Crock Jon, for his part, was alone at a tunnel crossroads. One of the creatures had grabbed him through the moss, and (true to form) the old prize-fighter grabbed the thing back. The two were wrestling, and the bug-thing was losing. [ooc]Crock Jon took 14 damage but has his grappled. (Kobold and I discussed on a PM); Cairn took 8 slashing and must roll a dc11 con save or be [I]paralysed[/I] (sorry about that).
