Message: <blockquote data-quote="hewligan" data-source="post: 4060997" data-attributes="member: 19688">The Prisoner PitsThe door is not locked, and swings easily towards you. Jovik, at the front, catches a glimpse of the room beyond as the sunrods cast their flickering light through the widening crack. The ceiling of this strangely cold chamber arches to a vaulted height of twenty feet. The floor contains what appears to be wooden lids strewn haphazardly over some pits (or similar). From the darkness under these lids comes strange shuffling sounds, and a single low moan.Suddenly, from the shadows at the side of the door, a hideous apparition appears. In the split second before the *thing* attacks, you see what appears to be a creature once akin to a goblin, but warped now into something insane in form. The goblin's eyes have turned almost white-green, and his naked body is studded with several rolling, seeking, milky eyeballs, including one large one twisting in the rolls of his gut.The creature has two small arms growing out of its neck, and a misformed leg curling back from its fleshy head. Its wide mouth is split with jagged teeth, some too large to allow it to close its ragged lips, and the seeping, bloody mess of its face suggests that its existence is not too pleasant.It holds a longsword in one hand, intricate in design, and with a soft glow suggesting that perhaps magic resides in the blade. In its left arm is clutched a large handaxe, and in the most fully formed of its smaller arms sprouting from its neck it clutches a silvery dagger.It arches its neck as if to spit upon you.<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2204/2279598907_a76b3d362e.jpg?v=0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Jovik, I need you and only you to roll for surprise (well technically to roll for awareness). You need a spot check 20 roll to have successfully spotted the move of the goblin-fiend in time to respond in this round.</blockquote>
