It emits a shrieking ululeo that echoes throughout the plaza as Rain dismounts and moves bravely past the portcullis. Aware  that a new threat has arrived the blue skin creatures' response is swift and without hesitation. Darting amongst the terrified town folk one moves across the plaza to fling a dart coated in black ichor at Rain but it falls well short. The creature dragging the townsman in a net spins about and flings bolas at Rain. They tangle about her legs dropping her to the ground. The shrieking blue skin runs at the fallen swordmage and stabs her with its short sword and another emerges from a nearby building striking her from the other side though she is able to deflect the blow with her magical shield. Meanwhile the creature with the net has taken another and hurled it expertly towards the rest of the group outside of the plaza. It expands above their heads and descends to entangle Sabynha, Zuri, Tom and Kartuus with the horses. Another of the creatures scurries closer towards the felled tiefling, blade out and at the ready.[sblock=OOC] -.- Today is not my day. I had to remake the entire map as I must have accidently saved my photoshop file after I merged the layers to copy paste the surprise round map. So all the layers below the grey mist ... And then I had written and linked all of the action I am re-writing now, hit save and  ... the token had expired ... all lost ... not cool. [/sblock][GM] Blue Skins win initiative.Kartuus takes no action during the surprise round due to the long absence of         [MENTION=90924]LordGraz'zt[/MENTION] I will give you til the others have posted their actions for round one before I NPC Kartuus, which will mean basically spamming at will powers and not gaining any XP for the encounter. NOTE: Please all post up with a mini stat block for your character in your next post. it will make things faster for me. Keep the stat blocks in each post during combat. Cheers.You're up![/GM][sblock=Arcana DC 15] You recognise these blue skinned fey creatures as the warped kinfolk of the gnomes. They are called xivorts. Long ago they were enslaves by fomorians, tortured, and changed by fell magic. Over time, they adapted to their home in the Shadowdark by developing blue skin and saucerlike, leering yellow eyes.In some ways, xivorts are pathetic creatures that can hardly be held accountable for their malice. Although some are still slaves to the fomorians, many have escaped to the Feywild and the world. They raid villages for food and treasure, seeking to dole out the same pain they endured at the fomorians' hands.[sblock=History DC 15] After the xivorts escaped from the clutches of the fomorians, they slipped into the Shadowfell as part of a bargain they made with a cabal of hags. The journey exaggerated the xivorts' already twisted forms, leaving them with glowing eyes, blue skin, and dark hair.The hags had little use for the xivorts. They freed them solely to deal a blow to the fomorians. Cast adrift into the world, the xivorts took to pillaging. They harbor hatred for larger creatures and particu, larly enjoy tormenting goliaths and half· orcs.
