It staggers back and shakes its head to gather its senses.  With a wicked grin it points at Kaz and calls out.  “Please, come join the fun.” Thorned vines erupt from beneath Kaz clothing and twist about his limbs.  He can feel them pull him towards the Red Cap. Scarm calls arcane fire to rain down on the crocodile, and rain it does, but the beast sinks again beneath the concealing filth that flows down the channel and is barely marked.  When it surfaces, the stuff surrounding it is aflame and Scarm is there, waiting.  The small blade doesn’t bite deep, but it bites just where it needs to in order to drive the beast back.  It hisses as it scrambles away from the avian avenger. Eithal’s vines fail to find purchase on the croc.  Possibly because Yishim’s magic has rooted it so firmly in place on the walkway’s edge. [gm]@<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=84369" target="_blank">Xeterog</a> ; the Croc does not make an opportunity attack, however, the “hidden” creature does. H.M. The source of the blue creature’s invisibility would require a Monster Knowledge check (Arcana). I will endeavor, in the future, to put out mid-round updates. My home machine (actually ShadRS’s home machine) is fried. I’m working on fixing that problem. It’s been a rough month. The enemy defenses have been updated to reflect their actual defenses. Keep in mind when making perception checks, there are three enemies on the board that affect skill checks. The way passive perception is written, this would also affect your passive perception.[/gm] [sblock=Dekana]While Toeto cannot put her finger on it, there’s just something not right about this beast. Whatever the Croc is, it’s not of this world.[/sblock] [sblock=Perception 24]The Southern Blue Guy is in L8[/sblock] [sblock=Enemy Actions]OA vs. Fred misses Blue/Green:Shift to L18Minor: Miss with Slip UpStandard: Move to I18 Blue Guy South:Standard: Claw Eithal; 25 vs. AC for 9 damageMove: the little blue guy shifts around and attempts to hide.
