[EBERRON] the Extraordinaries, 'A Terror Awakened, the League Reborn'

[Keia]

Azreal, Half-Celestial Paladin/Warmage HP: 46/46 AC: 19

Azreal's eyes narrowed at the Captain's order, but he followed the instructions. He mouthed the word "Evil" to the Captain, but silently lowered himself to the ground.

'One did not bow down to evil,' Azreal thought, 'One crushed it beneath one's heel, or died trying. I wonder what it will do when it finds what it is looking for . . . .'

OOC: Hide +3 base. Result 22

 

[Prof Yeti]

Taran Varnodel d'Phiarlan - Half Dragon Ranger/ Sorcerer

Moving as quickly and quietly as possible Taran settles behind some rocks. While waiting for a sign from his companions he readies his mind for a spell and the coming fight.

'Yes Beast...soon we battle'

OOC: Hide +10 Hide (1d20+10=18)
and readies to cast Shield

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

As Marcus hits the groung along with the others of his team he thinks to Arrow Down boy, here with me and his hound comes to him and lays low. ((OOC[Marcus:Hide (1d20+8=11)Arrow:Hide Check (1d20+3=16)+4 size bonus=20))

Marcus, looking grim, whispers to Neville "Are we lying in wait for it, or are we going to just let it pass?"

 

[taitzu52]

Neville whispers back to Marcus, "Hope for the best, and let it pass really. It seems to like....the dead. Let's not add to it's count." His eyes are still fixed on the monstrosity from his prone position.

 

[Karl Green]

The creature continues to walk slowly among the bodies - seeking something. After about 5 minutes it seems to hold one body longer then any of the others, and then impales the woman's body to a spike of it left arm. It seems to look around and then wanders off towards the east and disappears into the darkness.

After another minute or two, Azreal no longer senses the creature and the party picks itself up to move out again - a bit more disturbed by the inhabitants of the Mourlands.

Neville and Taran quickly find a semi-defendable and hidden place to set up camp for the evening. Sitting down for a cold meal of ironed rations, the party readies to set watches and bed down for the evening.

In the darkness, strange howls can be occasionally heard far off, while strange lings move about in the sky, and a strange moving glow can be seen in the broken landscape. The lands of the Mourlands do indeed seem to be filled with all kinds of horrors and they do not seem to rest to often.

(occ see OCC to talk about 'watches' /occ)

 

[Bobitron]

"I have no need to sleep. I will stand watch throughout the night."

Fury stands in the center of the camp, looking around into the darkness as the Extraordinaries ready themselves for rest.

 

[Karl Green]

Having agreed on watches Azreal, Fury and Neville settle down for first watch. The night slowly passes, but it is not silent as they would expect - again strange cries and howls are carried on the wind from far off, and silent lightning bolts are occasionally seen dancing across the sky. Those trying to sleep experience strange fitful dreams, but otherwise get some rest.

All to soon, Neville shakes Bale awake to start his watch and then crawls under his bedroll near his big dog. Azreal also enters a deep meditative state as Bale draws Magique'ricerca and places the darkblade across his knees to try and remain focused and wipes the sleep from his eyes.

For the first hour or so, the night continues to pass without trouble - only the strangeness of the place causing some worry - when Edana almost shouts in Bale's mind My love… there are at least two different groups approaching this camp… one from the northwest and another from the south… I am not sure who or what, but here I trust it not. About then Neville's dog raises its head and growls a bit in its throat. Fury notices the dog's reactions and looking towards the north - a flash of silent lightning in the sky causes him to catch a flash of metal about 60 or so feet through the broken hills. The dog licks Neville's face causing him to wake with a bit of confusion…


(occ Actions? Waking others? Right now Fury, Bale and Neville can roll Initiative. Note basic map… X is where Fury things he saw the 'flash of metal'. Each + is 10ft /occ)

[Bobitron]

Fury stands from the cross-legged position he was in and activates the powerful magical light embedded in his chest, swinging it towards the metal.

"Something approaches." He states this without alarm, but loud enough to wake those standing nearby.

ooc: Init is 13.

 

[taitzu52]

One eye pops open above Neville's moustache, as he quietly leans over and gently picks up his crossbow. Looking in the direction that Fury is facing, he slowly sits up ,and will softly kick any sleeper within his reach. "Can't make it out", he whispers "Is it that....thing?" There is an almost inaudinble click, as the safety is quietly taken off of his repeater.

(OOC- Init= 24 -> http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=110018 )

 

[Slippshade]

Startled by Edana's thoughts, Bale alerts Fury and Neville to the presence of both groups, then moves to rouse the others. "There are two groups approaching. One from the northeast and another from the south. Make ready." He tells each apon waking them. Bale keeps his back to the fire and peers into the inky darkness, looking for movement.

'Do you sense a mage among them?' He inquires to Edana.

(ooc: Initiative = 10+6=16, Actions: Get others awake and have Magique'ricerca cast detect magic)
