Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[DrZombie]

"Ill cover our exit" Jonas says, and patiently waits untill all partmembers have left.

OOC : ready action to hack at anything not a partymember that comes near.

Friadoc heads down the opposite wall as the centipede, watching it closely as it slither from the ceiling. As the tail end clears the center of the ceiling, he can make out a small grate, and a faint glimmer of fading sunlight shining through.

"Disappearing Kobolds! I like it not. Aye lets fall back and consider what's happened. How long will this cursed mist last." Rogash joins the retreat.

 

[industrygothica]

ooc: Marching order down the stairs, please--obviously Jonas is last.

 

[Mista Collins]

"Anywhere from one minute on up.If we only had a source of wind to get rid of it!" Tanith says back through the fog as she heads down the stairs.

ooc - Tanith will head back down 1st or 2nd since she is still under cover of invisibility.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Put Rogash near the last out. He ventured pretty far from the stairs.

 

[jkason]

OOC: Since Shai was only just starting up when the party decided to back out, that should put him near the front. 1st if he sees the others coming back, 2nd if Tanith bypasses him invisibly (obviously he won't care if she decides to stick behind him, either, since he can't see her. )

 

[industrygothica]

ooc: Just needed to know who was first, really. Looks like Shai's the lucky winner.

The groupd heads back downstairs, Shai and Dyspeer leading the way. Tanith sticks to the wall close behind, silent and invisible. Rogash and Jonas bring up the rear. The silent halfling is still climbing down the far wall, opposite a foe the others do not yet know is there.

Shai's eyes bolt open as a spark shoots from the wall next to his head, and a crossbow bolt bounces harmlessly off his shoulder. At the base of the stairs a kobold literally appears out of nowhere, bringing his emptied crossbow down. With a wicked little giggle, he scampers out of sight around the corner.

The fog starts to lift as Friadoc puts his feet back on the ground. Keeping time with him, the huge centipede also begins to lower its massive body onto the stone floor. Friadoc notes that other than the creatures unnatural size, there is just something not right about this creature, something otherworldly.

But for now, the real question is how to get around him.

At the base of the stairs a kobold literally appears out of nowhere, bringing his emptied crossbow down. With a wicked little giggle, he scampers out of sight around the corner.

Startled, then furious, Shai barrels to the corner, swapping hammer for bow as he does. He peeks around the corner, wondering how many kobolds could have turned invisible at once.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: I'm a little confused, is anyone other than Friadoc aware of the big bug? And if so, where is it in relation to the party.
