[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

BryonD said:
"Yup, nothing to learn here. We knew there was death."
Joshua will move past the bodies and keep moving. Any sign that ther dragging was before or after the people died? Does it turn around them? Go under? Or was it just moving alongside the location?


OOC: It says the trail bypasses the carnage so I would assume it went around.

Haskins moves forward to light the way for Joshua.

Bill twirls his pistol a bit to relax his nerves. As he moves up to the group he lingers ever so slightly at the crossroads to give a listen.
 




They made their way cautiously forward.

Joshua moved past some cave mushrooms and wild root growth and into a larger room.

There was a large pool in the center of the room, filled with brackish water too dark and deep to see the bottom. That musky, snakey smell that Joshua had noticed earlier filled the room.

Everyone could smell it, now.

Joshua's trail had led him right to the edge of the pool.

No sooner had Joshua finished speaking when the pool erupted in a spray of muck, and a nightmare creature came roaring out. Huge, foul-smelling jaws gaped widely, but Joshua was caught flat-footed and flinched just a second too late.

The creature fastened its jaws on Joshua's leg and began pulling and thrashing, rending flesh and bone. Joshua kicked at its scaly head and heaved himself backwards with every ounce of strength he could muster...

Joshua takes 8 points of damage.

Everyone needs to send me an initiative roll, in addition to your action in the 1st round. If you are using the dice server and you want to attack, just send me two d20 rolls at the same time. I will use your first roll for your initiative.

Be aware that Joshua may be caught in a grapple with the critter, I am going to give Bryon a chance to pony up an action point when he finishes his work commute.

EDIT: Update: Action point saves the day, Joshua is not grappled.

Brigitta

Brigitta gasps as the nightmare erupts from the stagnant pool, then narrows her eyes and raises the Webley with a steady hand. She takes careful aim at the rear quarters of the monstrosity and waits for a clear shot...

[OOC: If she thinks she can get a shot without hitting Joshua, she will take it, using "Aim" as a move-equivilent and then firing. Rolls sent. EDIT: Boy, I sure hope I don't get a clear shot...otherwise, I just shot Joshua :eek: ...rolls are 8 for initiative and natural 1 for an attack roll :mad: !]
