A Clash of Earth and Sea (El Jefe Judging) [See Part II]

[Patlin]

Jack hides directly behind the chimney, with less cover and relying on his small size and great skill to keep him hidden. The others group together in a tight knot on the other side of the large rocks, out of sight of anyone climbing up the hill toward the chimney. After about 10 minutes, the trickle of smoke coming up from the chimney comes to a halt.

Continue to wait?

 

[SlagMortar]

Planus also retreats to the cover to hide with Opale and Iggy. His longbow let's him make a shot from that distance easily.

 

[SlagMortar]

Continue to wait?

Hunting is the only time Planus is able to wait. Surprisingly he doesn't even fidgit as we waits for whatever is concealed beneath to come out.

 

[Velmont]

"They have seen there was a problem, now let's wait a moment, to see if they come to inspect the source of the problem." whispers Opale before falling silent a wait for someone to come.

 

[Patlin]

20 more minutes pass before the party sees some figures in the distance lumbering up the hill. When first sighted, they are about 500 feet away from Jack, about 580 feet away from the others. There are three Merrow, and there seems to be a smaller creature with them.

Ducane continues to fiddle with his sword, but this time he has drawn it. "I suppose the small one is one of the wizards. Let's let them closer, we don't want them to run.", he says.

 

[SlagMortar]

Planus tries to gage how quickly they are moving up the hill. He says very quietly to Ducan and Zack, "Before they get here, I will cast a protection spell on each of you." He wants to wait until the enemies are less than one minute away from Jack. If it looks like they will cover 250 feet in less than a minute, he casts when they are 250 feet away.

OOC: Cast Protection from Evil on Ducane and Zack. Duration is 3 minutes.

 

[Patlin]

Ducane continues to fiddle with his sword, but this time he has drawn it. "I suppose the small one is one of the wizards. Let's let them closer, we don't want them to run.", he says.

Ducane speaks in a low voice, to make sure the aproaching Merrow do not hear. He is clear enough to those hiding with him, but Jack will need a DC 18 listen check to hear this statement.

 

[Manzanita]

When the figures are spotted Iggy cracks a smile. He casts mage armor on himself. The merrow shouldn't be any trouble on land, and he was looking forward to some payback for all the blood these creatures had spilt underwater. As a bonus, three of those lumbering monstrosities shouldn't be too difficult to track. Iggy just hoped they emerged from a land door.

 

[Velmont]

Opale immitate Iggy, and cast Mage Armor. She then review her spells. With the advantageous position of Jack, she prepare to cast Disturb Equilibrum.

[SBLOCk=OOC]Opale ready an action, as soon as the hostility start, she will cast Disturb Equilibrum on the merrow nearest of Jack. She will place the 5 feet burst to touch as many others merrow as possible.

Jack, hope you want to sneak [/SBLOCK]
