Dockside Diversion/Still Waters

[jkason]

Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer

"I don't like this one bit," the sorcerer grumbles under is breath. He catches said breath as he also catches sight of the shadow on the water.

"All right. Enough of that. You lot, you see it, right? cover it," he says to his upturned palm. Suddenly a shimmering cloud spins upward from his hand, arching over the water to settle down in the area where the shadow seemed to be.

[sblock=actions]Standard: Casting Glitterdust, to cover the area where Nathan thought he saw a shadow moving. DC 17 will save if there's anything actually in that 10 ft. radius to avoid blinding. -40 to Stealth checks and removes invisibility either way.[/sblock]

Syl stands by waiting for the cloud to reveal more before wasting any of his magic.

Nathan's golden cloud moves out to where he saw the shadow then settles down on the still water in wisps of gold that reveal nothing on the surface. If there was something there it is either gone now or it was below the surface of the water.

GM: I know it stinks not having targets right now but that will change during the last half of this round. I meant to mention it earlier but I also need Perception checks rolled with your next post.

The gnome looks nervously out into the darkness... "I believe the creature is underwater..."

Syl searches the water for any motion.

OOC: i think I fixed my spoiler. Also, my perception should be nine. I added the wrong bonus, and tried to catch it to no avail, so I have two rolls now, lol.

OOC: Okay, I know I posted an update in here this morning, but the board seems to have eaten it. I'll try to reconstruct...

"Bollocks," Nathan muttered as the glittering dust washed away across the water's surface. A pair of glowing orbs appeared, one over each of his shoulders. The sorcerer held up his hand.

"Hold off until we can actually see ... whatever it is," he said. To Borric he added, "No idea, but I think we're about to find out..."

There is the faint rustle of tall grass moved by a slight breeze, only there isn't a breeze. Three small figures, halflings, rise up from clumps of reeds that line the Ouhm River's banks. As soon as Borric sees them he rightly identifies them as enemies and fires but the quickness of his release spoils his aim: his arrow flies wide of the mark and is lost in the dim light.

A fourth figure pinpoints his location by the steady droning of his voice though he is still difficult to see hidden amongst the tall grasses. Nathan removes chance from the equation: the two summoned glowing orbs streak out across the water to strike the chanting halfling. Nathan is certain that his glowing orbs struck their target but the chanting continues uninterrupted.

"Oi! They gots a wizard!" shouts one to the others.

"Take 'im out!"

"Jump yerself overboard and surrender tha boat or we'll soften ya up and take it!" threatens another.

The three match actions to words and three heavy balls of lead fly from their slings with a whirr. One targets Zelena but the lead bullet embeds itself into the wooden wall of the cabin behind her with a solid >thwack<. Muffled cries of alarm come from within the cabin. The other two halfling slingers target Nathan to much greater success. Two lead bullets strike the sorcerer with a sickening crunch.

"Take that, ya fookin' wizard!"

Zelena looks to Borric and touches his leg, "Don't you get the wrong idea there..." she jokes with him... And casts a spell clutching at her holy symbol. A small bubble of air surrounds Borric's head, "You have two minutes where you do not have to worry about drowning. Go get them!"

The gnome then drops to the deck for cover until she can make her next move.

((Cast Air Bubble on Borric, duration 20 rounds, go prone ))
