Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[Keia]

"Good luck, men. During that time. thre rest of us with approach the ship more directly - more to get closer to it than for any assault. Theryndil, give me a missive on the status - if there's trouble we'll come in guns blazing (with a nod to Amanu), if the situation is stable return and we can discuss strategy better here."

Marcus will direct Leopard to flank on the left at 20 feet and Marcus will flank to the right at 20 feet, with Amanu and Arramor in the middle and back slightly. Marcus will keep looking for trouble but try and stay somewhat hidden.

Amanu checks over his equipment and then departs for the direction of the ship. He heads towards the left for a bit, before realigning himself towards the ship once more. At this point, he invokes an incantation and fades from view. Amanu proceeds cautiously, using his boots of elvenkind to the fullest advantage staying as quiet as possible.

OOC: If Amanu detects that he has lost his invisibility advantage, he will pull forth a creature from his gray bag of tricks and release it to serve as a decoy for the source of noise.

Delta Squad moves into the water separating the island from the mainland. Within a few moments it reaches waist height. Erenal crouches low, using the current (and his cloak) to conceal his approach. Theryndil holds his bow above the waterline, trusting his invisibility to keep him safe. The others follow a ways behind.

The island itself is a little more than two hundred feet long, and about half as wide. As the monk and the archer approach the shore, they spot the wooden beams of a tradesman through the trees along the bank. Pushing themselves ashore, the also spot a huge reptilian figure curled around the aft end of the ship. Several long snakelike heads survey the surrounding area.

When Theryndil accidentally snaps a branch at his feet, two of the heads turn to peer in his direction.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

The nomad ceases all movement and attempts to remain perfectly silent and still.

If the reptile seems to actually see him, or moves in Theryndil's direction, the elf will move slowly away and try to guess if the reptile is able to detect his new location.

 

[Keia]

Marcus will continue to approach the island, keeping aware of his surroundings, trying to stay low in the water as to not create much of a shadow.

"(At least the water's warm)," Marcus thinks to himself.

 

[perivas]

Trusting the powers of invisibility and the boots of elvenkind, Amanu carefully approaches the ship from a separate direction.

OOC: Bump!

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Happy New Year, Everyone

Game On!

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Several more heads rise into the air, and the reptilian beast rises from its resting position. It is nearly twenty feet long and twenty feet wide. It takes one thundering step, and then another, in the direction of the nomad.

Theryndil begins circling the sourth rim of the island, moving further to the west. Erenal watches from the north side of the creature.

Marcus and Leopard are about thirty feet from the eastern shore. Amanu and Arramor are another thirty feet behind in waist-deep water.

OOC: I thought I had moved away from the group.
