[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 5164897, member: 36973"] [b][size=3]A Fight in the Muck: Surprise Round[/size][/b] Sapo Toa Blinks. Then she orients herself facing something to the west. Then, she jumps in the air, landing on the ground next to the sewer course. She walks with her usual sluggish peace, but when he nears her target, a hissing lizard, she takes a spin in the air, swinging her staff to the creature. In the darkness, the strike misses, but now she can see the single lizard is actually a mass of smaller reptiles. Something is... off... about them, but she cannot tell how. [color=slategray][Still a miss.][/color] Johanna could hear the threatening hiss from somewhere up ahead, but she could see very little. She took a moment to set her feet and brought her spear up into a ready stance, but that was her only preparation. The creatures spring into action. From around the barrel, a [b]thing[/b] emerges.
