"It's Majenko's idea." The pseudodragon draws the corners of its maw back into a crocodile's smile.Making use of his darkvision and natural camouflage abilties, the tiny wyrm pads off ahead of the group into the darkness of the ossuary room. Cupping his magical 'Dj'hân-o-lantern' in his tiny hands, the urchin waits a few moments until he looses sight of the pseudodragon before holding a finger up to lips and motioning for the three larger men to follow quietly behind. The guttersnipe keeps a firm grip on the lantern, allowing only enough light to slip between his fingers so that the four of them can negotiate the room without tripping and falling. Dj'hân stays a few paces ahead of the others, carefully steering the group around lost bones or loose flagstones that might crunch or shift noisily when stepped upon. The urchin likewise points out any raised flagstones or protrusions that might cause one of the men to trip and fall. Moving tentatively into the rough-hewn tunnel, Dj'hân leads the group all the way to the fork and motions for Brindom and Edmond to remain there while he and Manachan continue up along the left-hand tunnel a few more paces to the bend around which they might spy the goings on in the workroom from a safe vantage point.Moving stealthily ahead of the others, Majenko makes his way through the ossuary room, into the tunnel and cautiously along the left hand passage toward the workroom. The wily dragon takes cover behind jutting protrusions along the rough hewn walls as he advances. He lies in wait outside the workroom for a short while so as to observe the movements of the lone derro; carefully picking the right moment to steal up behind the creature to strike from surprise. When ready, the pseudodragon scurries swiftly into the room, raises its barbed tail and strikes.[sblock=OOC]According to my calculations, a Pathfinder pseudodragon should have a Stealth score of +19 in a subterranean environment. It's sting attack has a reach of 5-ft. so no need to enter the derro's square. It has a +6 to strike in melee and, if attacking from surprise, the derro will be flat-footed. Damage is 1d3-2 plus poison (Fortitude DC 14, initial damage sleep for 1 minute, secondary damage sleep for 1d3 hours. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.)If the derro isn't overcome in the initial surprise round, assuming he is surprised, then Majenko will attempt to win initiative the following round (initiative +2) and sting him again before he can react.[/sblock]</blockquote>
