Black Spine: Adventures under a Dark Sun

Grykee Mindbender 12th AC:13 PP:73

"Damn! I wanted one alive for 'questioning'... Hmmm, they might not all be dead. Lets see... Yes I know, time to go... I'll just be a moment more...

Grykee's eyes flash crimson as she speaks and she concentrates on the fallen Gith for a few moments...

OOC: Manifesting Aura Sight, Extended cost 9, will last 4 hours. She should be able to make out if any Gith are alive based on Aura's, if not hopefully she'll have a few moments for looting anything that glows...

"I carry one?" Uden offers. "You little people are light."


(OoC: Did Uden find any metal on the gith?)

 

[humble minion]

"There's plenty more where they came from, Grykee" says Garak, with a grim smile.

Can Ristu ride Gree-lok (once the Righteous Might has worn off, obviously)? They're both Medium, but Ristu has a lot of ranks in Ride and no other mount. I'm not sure what's going on there. Everyone else should be able to keep up - an inix's howdah can carry 4.

The erdlu isn't a riding animal; crodlu are the preferred mounts. On a related note, I think I'm simply going to add as an addendum to the inix's Improved Carrying Capacity that it can carry a single Large individual, so that a half-giant may ride one.

(OoC: Did Uden find any metal on the gith?)

Between the 8 gith that were killed (and yes,evileeyore, I'm afraid they're all dead), it's a total of eight metal spears and 24 metal javelins.

Grykee helps stuff metal bits into Uden's pack.

"I know. It would have made things easier, though. Well I suppose I'll have to snag one from the next group."

She looks around to make sure nothing of value is left behind, then cuts the ear from the one she dominated. She starts to tie it into the trophy collection as the group leaves.


OOC: No glowy bits to Aura Sight? Oh well, too much to ask that scrubs would be carrying psionic gear...

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

I'm assuming that you've got the collective speed to outdistance them if you choose; do you wish to, or are you going with Garak's plan to lure them in close and butcher them?

"So we go just slow enough to draw them with us, then engage close to Tenpug's and hope they run out and help? Sounds good to me."

 

[Keia]

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:57

"At this point we've stopped any who know of our arrival," Arriha offered. "If we avoid them, then they will not know of the newcomers and we will have an element of surprise. If we engage, we must defeat them all. I'm for the slow and engage, but I just figure I'd toss out the risk."

Arriha then rose in the air though kept below the dune lines, and readied to head out.

"The rest of the gith will know we've arrived as soon as they find the bodies we leave here," Garak responds. "I have no magic that can hide the signs of battle, and to bury them by hand would take too long and we would have to fight regardless. Any competent hunter will be able to tell our numbers and races from our tracks in any case. There is no place now for illusion and deception. The stones speak to me of war - they cry out to be watered in blood..."

His voice trails off as the voices of the earth spirits fills his head. Absently, he slaps Kejo on the side of his plated neck, and the inix obediently lurches into motion.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

You begin luring the gith close to the camp; at about 300 yards, Rakskon urges you to turn before the noncombatants are endangered. Assuming you do so, you have a surprise round to attack the gith, who are presently 100 feet away.
