D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[Neurotic]

Looking back to their opposing party, Myrral accidentally dips the tip of his tail into the water. He barely suppresses the jump instinct, but shudders strongly.

"I'll create a diversion, you slip quietly into thewater. Don't remain any longer than you have to, it is not safe."

He slips further along the riverbank leaving Harb close to Ukee.

At the point when he judges to be far enough to turn the pursuers away from Harb he puts a rope over a branch, pulls it slowly down and casts minor illusion of himself crouching on the branch. He causes rustling by pulling on the rope several times as if it reacts to sudden weight.

The illusion looks back for several seconds and Myrral releases the rope, the branch snaps back hiding the fact that the illusion disappears moment later.

OOC: A charisma (deception) roll for Myrral, then please.

Harb came to the water's edge. He didn't like Myrral's plan of making him swim. The water flowed southward, around the ruined building. The closest ruined building was not far from the shore. Harb was pretty sure he could vault over. The rooftop looked solid enough, though he wasn't sure he trusted it. In addition, the roof was a flat and open, with no cover if the Thayans decided to cause him trouble.

Dellrak climbed to the top of the raised road and began to make his way back to where he could see the Thayans. The courtyard of the ruins that he'd seen them in was empty, but there was one human mercenary at the gate, keeping an eye out for trouble. Dellrak eyed the ruins, thinking the rest of the Thayans must be inside. "Probably one of those shrines," he decided.

Dellrak didn’t see any more Thayans than he had seen before, so he descended the east stairs and started to make his way toward where they had seen Ukee go down.

Good thinking, Dellrak, you could be right about those cubes, Chrysagon replied and followed him up to the road and towards Ukee.

Myrall's ruse didn't seem very authentic to Harb, so he decided to add to it, picking up a small stone, he threw so that it struck a tree near the tabaxi, hopefully in such a way as to maje it seem as if the phantom had leapt from one tree to another.

Then, after a moment to let the men distract themselves, he climbed atop the building and nade a running leap towards the next one, hoping to quickly make progress to his companion.

[FitzTheRuke]

As the other Sticks moved from the campsite back up on to the raised road, Harb made an inexpert attempt to distract the Thayans and leaped up on the roof of the first flooded building. He ran across that roof, in full sight of the Thayans, who were not falling for any tricks. Luckily, they were also not apparently overly aggressive and they watched him go with evident curiosity, while hacking their way through the underbrush, coming closer to where Myrral was hiding.

As Harb reached the end of the fist rooftop, he made the leap to the next, but when he landed, he found that this building was not as stable as the first, and a large piece of roof crumbled into the building, leaving him hanging from the edge of the roof with a large hole in front of him.

The Red Wizard called out, "Be careful there, friend, You would not want to fall in these waters. Come back and speak to us awhile. I give my word that we will not cause you harm."

Myrral stands up from his hiding.
"We mean you no harm. No need to come at us with weapons. The jungle is a dangerous place, so we are cautious. But we just wanted to retrieve our pet. My companion is capable, don't disturb him and he will get there.

I am Dew, son of Rainbringer, shaman of Rainbow Snake tribe. Who are you?"

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The Red Wizard smiled, but it wasn't as friendly-looking as Myrral would like. He was still getting used to bald ape-faces, so he let it slide. "Greetings, Dew. I am Hyronomede Waylewe, Red Wizard of Thay. We have been exploring these ruins, same as (I presume) you and your friends. Perhaps we could compare our findings, to our mutual benefit? By all means, your friend may retrieve your 'pet'. We will wait for him."

The way he said it sounded to Myrral like the wizard expected the bundle dropped by the gargoyle to be something far more valuable than a flying monkey.
