For Dropbox if you want to use the file in an IMG tag, just make sure you have it in your Public folder. Then you can right click on the file you want to link to and choose Copy Public Link from the Dropbox section. Embed that link and you should be good to go. Dropbox is awesome, such a great tool.

"Looks like the attacker went up this drainpipe towards the roof" Brannon says, running his fingers over the scratches in the wall. "Let's take one more look through this alley for anything we might have missed and then I think we should consider finding our way to the roof and see if we can see where the attacker might have gone."

[sblock=OOC]

One more search of the alley, including the side the boy fled. Taking 20 (a 22 for Brannon) just to be sure we didn't miss anything.

Then if no one else has something, look for a route to the roof.

As you being searching the alley again, taking great care and caution looking of anything else you may have missed, you hear the sounds of nails on stone approaching from where the boy ran off. Turning at the approach, you see a large dog with redish-black fur that lets out a series of low, menacing growls before it runs right at Brannon barking with it's teeth flashing!

Everyone roll for initiative please, declare your actions and add any rolls needed to support it!

Probably helps to post the dog's initiative first so you guys can have a better idea of when you act so you can act accordingly

Brannon steps back at the sight of the dog as his bird Tiki flies up to the gutter. Brannon calls forth the sound of a deep voice, punctuated by the sound of a cracking whip from behind the dog "'Ere boy! Stop!"

[sblock=OOC]

Brannon steps two squares back diagonally as Tiki (his thrush) takes flight. Casts ghost sound calling forth the stern, deep voice of a human calling Stop, punctuated by the warning crack of a whip. DC14 to disbelieve.

Init -- 1d20+7=14

"Well this is unexpected," Rory says, drawing a light crossbow and notching a bolt. He takes aim at the approaching hound.

[sblock=ooc]Rory will take a 5-ft. step backwards, draw and load his crossbow. I have Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot, so there should be no penalties from firing into melee, unless the hound has cover.[/sblock]

Mace in hand, Gyle holds his action, waiting to see which why the beast charges.

 

[zizazat]

As Brannon moves into action the sound of a stern master calls out for the beast to stop and a whip crack. The beast hesitates momentarily before continuing toward Gyle snarling, barking and chomping looking to take a chunk out of the big man. Rory takes a step back taking aim at the beast with his crossbow.

Gyle you can take your attack on your normal initiative order if you'd like after the dog bites at you

With both hands gripping the heavy mace, Gyle brings it down over his head, attempting to dispatch the beast in a single blow.

 

[zizazat]

Gyle takes a massive overhand swing at the dog, but it slides out of the way just in time to dodge the blow.

Round 2 - go!

 

[IronWolf]

Brannon takes a step forward and unleashes a dizzying array of colors at the attacking hound.

[sblock=OOC]

Step one square south, turn and cast color spray, this should miss Gyle and catch the dog within its 15' cone. DC15 Will save.
