Eyes Of The Lich Queen

The blackscale stares at the disguised Aern, who tries waving the lizardfolk guard over to join him in examining the two "corpses" lying on the trail. However, having remained completely silent and never responding to the numerous verbal questions the blackscale had asked, plus the complete absence of the other guards in the area after a supposed victorious battle... the blackscale's eyes narrow and he begins backing up the trail from whence he came. (Aern Bluff check: [8] + 9 = 17)(Lizard Sense Motive check: [12] - 2cha + 10bluffhardtobelieve = 20 *success*)

Seeing that the second lizardfolk Rogan seems to have percieved doesn't show up and that one is about to flee, Jango shows up himself, one hand playing with ground mica and teh other playing with his shard.

[SBLOCK=Draconic]"You have enough arrows pointing in your direction to make enough hole in your skin to be unable to recognize you if your friends would come. Not coutning I can burn you alive too. I won't repeat myself twice, where is your friend, you were not alone a moment ago."[/SBLOCK] tells Jango with authority.

"Stay hidden, attack if he flee or become aggresive."

[SBLOCK=OOC]If there is any social roll to do to make the lizardfolk obey, Jango will spend an action dice for that roll.

If Jango can ready an action, if the lizardfolk[/SBLOCK]
 

Brother Donovan, human cleric

Hearing Jango's voice, Donovan "comes to life." He wishes he spoke the creature's language, but there's nothing for that now. As he readies his crossbow, he also keeps the pattern for calling silence in mind, ready to cast it on the lizardfolk if another whistle appears.

"Guess the jig's up, then?"
 

With the lizardfolk's attention on Jango and the failed decoys, Rogan uses the brush as cover as he quietly tries to sneak in behind the creature.

[sblock=ooc]Hide and Move Silent +10.

Rogan is trying to get behind back pedaling lizardfolk. If it seems he is going to flee muchfaster, Roganwill fire his bow. +6 ranged.[/sblock]
 

The blackscale sees the elf pop up from behind one of the trees and threaten him. He starts to guffah a bit as he continues walking backwards, but his chuckling stops when he sees the cleric stand up from the trail, the rope "binds" falling away.

He immediately turns around to head back north, and runs face to face with Rogan... who had stepped out further up the trail. Rogan holds his bow at arm's length, a long, sharp arrow nocked and aimed at the lizard's throat. The blackscale's yellow eyes narrow upon it, then the realization of Jango's threat about a host of arrows pointed at him seems to be real. He drops his spiked club to the ground, and backs away from Rogan with his hands away from his body... back towards where Aern, Horatio, and Ari are.

He says in draconic (which gets translated so everyone can understand) "I don't know what you want... but you won't stay unnoticed. Others are heading back now to notify all the rest."
 

"Horatio, Ari, bound him and gag him... and we might knock him out too to make sure he doesn't bother us. A group will be there soon, we need to set up a trap, i suggest to do it just a further down the road. The ones who was with him would expect to see something further down the road, not up. We might be able to surprise them and take some of them down. Our best chance is to take them down by wave, going for teh temple now would be too dangerous for us." suggests Jango.
 

Ari stands, the ruse discarded, and assists in pacifying the blackscale and discarding its weapons. "You really need to learn their language," he says offhandly to Aern. When they are done with the latest prisoner, Ari prepares to job up north through the brush. "Aern, you can at least look like this big brute to through them off? We'll set up another pincer, with a few of us on both sides." He turns to Khalia. "Keep another silence ready if one of those little buggers appears."

"I still have one prepared," She says, stepping out of her hiding spot, crossbow in hand.

[sblock=Draconic]
"I should think someone who is quite surrounded would refrain from making threats." Khalia said.

Brother Donovan, human cleric

"Horatio, Ari, bound him and gag him

Donovan nods. "My thick fingers aren't well-suited to knots, so I'll leave the rope to you, Ari," he says, instead tearing a small strip from the bottom of his cloak to make a gag with.

"If you're taking on this one's appearance, Aern, it might do for you to carry his weapon, as well."
 

"Let me," Jina says with breezy confidence as she steps out from the foliage and produces a rope from her pack. Her air of bravado is somewhat feigned - the situation is far from ideal. But there's certainly a part of her that's really getting a kick out of this, and she lets that part come to the surface.

Besides, as far as ropes go, she really does know what she's doing. Her slim, deft fingers work fast as she expertly trusses up the hulking Lizard. The knots are good; her only concern is whether the rope itself would hold if the brute really wanted to tear it.

[sblock=OOC]Use Rope +13. Take 10 for an Escape Artist DC of 33.[/sblock]
