Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[industrygothica]

Rogash knows that the halfling couldn't possibly see anything in the darkness, especially the mangled kobold body lying in front of him. The blood is still oozing from its lifeless corpse, indicating that the kill is fresh. Yes, something is very, very wrong here.

 

[Friadoc]

From the shadows, Friadoc says, simply enough, "Toss a torch down the way."

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Friadoc, You're about to trip over a mangled Kobold. I think you may be closer to the danger than you know. I believe we should move forward in force. That body has just been slain." He keeps an arrow nocked.

 

[jkason]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai looks worriedly on the faces of his companions, hoping to read the results of Friadoc's search in their expressions.

 

[Mista Collins]

Waiting near Shai, Tanith stands quietly, with no sign of emotion on her face. Without her hearing, she knows how difficult it will be for her to properly complete the proper verbal components of her spells.

 

[industrygothica]

Blinded by the darkness, Friadoc's sensitive ears are working even harder. Concentrating on the silence, he hears what sounds like heavy breathing coming from farther down the corridor. Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like another chaos beast.

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

The dwarf follows Friadoc with as much stealth as he can muster.

 

[Friadoc]

Once Friadoc has some back-up, he'll whisper to them about the potential location of the foe, as well as work up the best idea to approuch it.

"It's just down the corridor, but I don't think it's one of those foul beasts."

 

[industrygothica]

Rogash meets up with Friadoc at the bend in the corridor and cautiously peeks around the corner.

And immediately wishes he hadn't.

[sblock=Rogash]Just at the edge of your darkvision you can see a hulking beast standing amidst a pile of mutilated kobolds, blood still spouting from their fresh wounds. Just as you are able to identify the beast as a Minotaur--complete with a gleaming axe--you notice him notice you, and a huge set of tattered bat-like wings unfurl from behind him.[/sblock]

Jonas, sword drawn is about halfway down the corridor behind Friadoc.

[sblock=OOC]I figure we can NPC Jonas until Dr.Z gets back. Anyone heard from Jamal lately?[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Friadoc, there is a winged Minotaur with a really big axe out there in the dark. He's just dispatched the Kobolds. To arms!" He lets fly with his readied bow.
