As Marius moves around, he pinpoints the positions of a few captains, some surrounded by bodyguards, others simply running with the archers. Despite their formation, the column is already in chaos, as distinct species of reptilians menace and provoke each other into a state of rage. Hidden among the furious beasts, Marius selects his target, hitting it from afar and landing the blows in quick, furious succession! Arvana's shot is soon to fallow, hissing close to the victim, but missing the target![@<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=24380" target="_blank">Neurotic</a>, you can select any of the C’s within the lines and place your character adjacent to it. The claymore is still too heavy for you to increase range without penalties, despite it being lighter!]The entire column reacts to the shouts of treason, commotion rising within the ranks as the distrustful creatures turn on each other! Each soldier now measures its’ neighbors as threats are thrown around in draconic. Claws, fangs and blades begin to turn the column into an attrition pit, as horns begin to sound and commands are yelled at the soldiers from sides and rear!The emergence of a flame sphere cutting the ranks break any control the captains might still hope to have! As the orb makes way through the lines, beasts scatter, abandoning formation, to save themselves, and conflict ensues! [@Morgrym, You can pick the area you’ll sweep with the orb as you wish! Stormburst will be placed according to @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=24380" target="_blank">Neurotic</a> ‘s choice.]The storm explosion that follows illuminates the duel between monk and beast, targeting the robed snake commander as he agitates himself, his skin resisting against the lasting flames started by the monk. He hisses, his large human-like form very distinct than that of a Yuan-ti. He yells a fast-paced, dark incantation in draconian as he pulls an old, yellowed bone from his belt! He brakes it within his heavy grasp, rage fueling his words as he stares the monk in the eye. His resolve turns into a demonic gaze that brings shivers to Marius’ spine![The commander casts Scare at Marius! Roll a saving throw vs. will! – CD 15! Success you leave Marius shaken, failure will leave him frightened!]MAP LINK<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZBfqlZpct8SZ7vh_U_nqispO67s2ZXLunqhdY4dnNwI/edit#gid=572290431" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZBfqlZpct8SZ7vh_U_nqispO67s2ZXLunqhdY4dnNwI/edit#gid=572290431</a>HAGADARKTugg-Mhuagra seems satisfied with the sacrifice, blessing the surviving brethren as the animals are slaughtered and the victim is commended. Hagadark’s discomfort is well-founded. The alchemist knows the heavy price of dealing with the old spirits. Treacherous and violent, they constantly lie, manipulate and betray those they choose to guide. But if the follower is willing and cunning enough, he may well ripe untold power from the entity he decides to serve. Such was the way of the old kings, blessed by these uncertain beings to become powerful and brutal lords of the distant sound, long ago…As Hagadark anoints the book with his victim’s blood, the markings on the cover darken and twist, turning into familiar words. A few lines of blood run from the leather towards the pages, finding their way into their layers. As the shaman opens the book, he sees letters being drown with the dark ichor as if a plume was at work upon the parchment. Soon enough, what was once a blank page contains details on knowledge long sought. [Hagadark acquired the discovery ‘spontaneous healing’]Tugg-Mhuagra smiles at the shaman. “The blood must come from sentient beings.” – she approaches. “This is a book of secrets. The more you want of it, the more it drinks. It is yours now. Use it wisely.” – her words ring as if, instead of a gift, the book was yet another test, another trap.Outside, shrunk trees and crooked stones cast shadows against the moonlight. As giant bats arrive to feast at the giantess’ flesh, flapping their wings in enthusiasm, Hagadark studies his next steps. The target’s still westbound, no changes coming from the compass for now.[Guys, please, double-check this one to make sure I lost no details! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />] @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=87106" target="_blank">MetaVoid</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=24380" target="_blank">Neurotic</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801311" target="_blank">KahlessNestor</a></blockquote>
