Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 3665587" data-attributes="member: 7006">The group sees all three lizardfolk not currently engaged in battle duck down and behind the large trees in the area.  With their attempts to hide, the expanse of undergrowth, and the dimness of the night sky, it is difficult for everyone to get a bead on them.  Hopefully they haven't moved too far away.[sblock=Encounter A2 - Jungle Attack: Round 2]Initiative Order:23 Rogan17 Jina17 Horatio16 Lizard L113 Khalia12 Ari12 Aern6 Lizards L2, L3, L55 JangoInspire Courage: Rogan, Aern, Horatio, Khalia, Jango: +2 to hit & damageBless: Jina, Horatio, Khalia, Ari, Aern: +1 to hit & saves vs. fear**********Rogan gives the lizardfolk who failed to hit him a smile as he counter-attacks with both daggers, not bothering to wait for Aern to arrive to help flank.  The first swing catches on a bush and misses, but the second one finds purchase and the lizardfolk gurgles once and then drops.(Attack Dagger on L2: AC 17 + 2 undergrowth = 19 / Conceal 1d5 [1] *miss*)(Attack Dagger on L2: AC 17 + 2 undergrowth = 19 / Conceal 1d5 [5] *hit*: [12] + 6 + 2 courage = 20 *hit* / [3] = 3 damage *dead*)The rogue steps over the body to move closer to where the other enemies used to be.  (5' step to G11)Jina sees the hexblade hunter drop the lizard next to her, and she immediately turns to try and find any of the other ones.  She does manage to spot the one that was directly across from her, his rear end sticking out a bit from behind the tree.  (Spot check: [9] + 1  = 10 *success for L3 only*)   She immediately charges across the trail at him with her thinblade poised and catches the creature in his abdomen with a critical success!  The speed of her thrust goes right through the creature, and he drops easily and silently.(Attack Thinblade on L3: AC 17 + 2 undergrowth = 19 / Conceal 1d5 [3] *hit*: [19] + 10 + 1 bless + 2 charge = 27 *hit* / Confirm [9] + 10 + 1 bless + 2 charge = 22 *crit* / [6] + 4 + [2] + 4 = 16 damage *dead*)Horatio sprints across the field, intending to move around his Wind Wall.  But with the heavy wind blowing the bushes, branches and leaves all over the place, he is unable to see any of the lizardfolk who tried to hide.  (Double Move action to O5)  (Spot check: [1] + 3  = 4 *failure*)The lizardman to the north has ducked somewhere into the bushes and with the silenced area around him, the group cannot tell where he is or if he's moving.  You do luck out in that wherever he is, he hasn't been able to use the signal whistle yet.  Either he's still within the silenced area, or he's just not using it for some reason.Khalia stays where she is, but keeps her eyes peeled for any of the lizardfolk that tried to hide.  She glances by the far west tree and through the windy, waving limbs and leaves, she not only sees Jina attack and kill one of the lizards, she sees the other one standing next to him.  She immediately calls out where that second one is.(Spot check: [13] + 2  = 15 *success for L3/L5 only*)Ari and Onyx see Jina scamper off westerly to deal with the two lizards that he sees are still over there, and he knows that where she goes, her Silenced area will go too.  Thus he decides to take care of the one to the north who not only had a whistle out, but was inside an unmoving silence bubble.  He hops onto the trail and moves forward with his companion trailing behind... but his keen hunter eyes are still unable to spot the lizardfolk within the bushes.(Spot check: [16] + 0  = 16 *success for L3/L5 only*)With the death of the lizardfolk at Rogan's hands, Aern realizes that all that remains is to find the missing ones.  He turns around and sees the two lizardfolk over by Jina, but can't spot the one with the whistle.  (Spot check: [12] + 0  = 12 *success for L3/L5 only*)  With action all happening around him and no need to help Rogan to flank anymore, he decides on his next action.As he watches his compatriot get struck down right before his eyes by the young elf girl as well as become completely perplexed why the loud rushing sound of the wind has ceased, the lizardman realizes it's time to defend himself.  He immediately drops his longbow and pulls a longsword off his belt.  (Move action)  His mouth makes the motions of a battle shout, and catches the girl lightly across her arm.(Attack Longsword on Gina: AC 21 + 2 undergrowth - 2 charge = 21 / Conceal 1d5 [2] *hit*: [17] + 5 = 22 *hit* / [2] + 1 = 3 damage *lightly hurt*)Jango tries to move through the underbrush, but realizes it isn't as easy as he first thought.  He looks in the direction Khalia points to find the lizardman in battle with Jina, and he cuts across and behind her to give him the best angle in which to fire another set of force missiles.  (Move action to Q10)  He motions and mutters and then like last time, three energy balls fly out towards the lizard behind the tree, nailing him from behind and killing him instantly.(Cast Empowered Magic Missile: [1] + 1 empower + [4] + 2 empower + [4] + 2 empower + 3 = 17 damage *dead*) With all the lizards dead except for the one that had the all-important whistle... the group immediately goes in search for the elusive one in the bushes.<img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6223/round2fw3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]Aern still has his Round 2 action to decide on, since his original idea of flanking the lizardfolk was not necessary.  The others can all decide what they want to do and where they move in Round 3 in hopes of finding the remaining lizardfolk with the whistle.</blockquote>
