Aern looked at the others and prepared to run and sing. He continued with the visage of the poison dusk with a torn throat. A bit gory perhaps, but it was the easiest way around his inability to speak. Though he kept the whistle close at hand, the right whistle at the wrong time could continue to sow confusion in the Lizardmen’s ranks.

Moving forward as quietly as possible while reamining hidden in this jungle, Rogan hopes to unlock the cage quickly so that he might not be detected.
The party watches as Rogan sneaks forward through the underbrush, amazed at his skill at remaining unseen and silent. He reaches the cage where the girallon is being held, and immediately the four-armed creature begins hooting and hollering. Wasting no time, Rogan pulls out his lockpicks and in a manner of seconds gets the lock unclasped. The girallon charges at him, and he steps to the side, pulling the door wide open... alonging the creature to storm out of the cage and into the main camp are of the huts. The two blackscales that had been travelling in that direction (Group 4) see the creature rushing forward and immediately raise the alarm.
Knowing that Rogan's action was the signal, the rest of the group makes their first move forward.
[sblock=Encounter A3/4 - Temple Grounds: Round 0]
Initiative Order:
16 Jina
15 Ari
12 Poison Dusks 8-9
10 Rogan
10 Khalia
9 Jango
8 Girallon
6 Aern
6 Horatio
3 Blackscales 1-5
All seven pairs of lizardfolk are surprised and get no action this round. The Girallon's action has already occured on the map (moving out of the cage). Each of the party gets a half action for the surprise round (Jango I'm ruling you went into Prophetic Favor while Rogan was picking the lock, so you are all set with that).
Because the map is so large (each square is 5'), I'm not bothering to label the grids with letters/numbers, nor keep track of precise movement. When posting, just describe where you want to move to, or generalize the direction or lizardfolk you are heading towards and we'll approximate it.

Swirls of silver light gather around Khalia, then burst out from her, settling on her allies and filling them with courage as she speaks a few words in high Draconic.

Cast Bless. If she can make a single move to catch Rogan and the rest of the party in a 50' burst, she will.[/sblock]

Jina breaks cover and dashes forward as the alarm goes up. She makes for the right hand side of the lizardfolk closest to the Girallon, aiming to cut them off from reinforcements. The groups further over to the east will now have to choose whether to assail her or move past to assist their allies with the rampaging beast. If they take the first option then they'll be divided; if they take the second, she'll be at their backs.
OOC: Moving towards a position about halfway between groups 4 and 8.

Moving among the huts, Rogan takes a quick peak inside in case any lizardfolk are sleeping or attempting to arm themselves. If all is clear inside the first hut, Rogan uses it as cover in his attempts to remain hidden. It is his hopes to surprise any reinforcements that might be coming from the west.
