IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

[jayaint]

Ydyr shoots a surprised look towards Lehko, and drops farther into a crouch. His eyes also seek for a piece of nearby cover, though he guesses that any archers approaching would aim for the loudest and most apparent target first.

I'm no stealthy cat-burgurlar, but I don't find myself yelling off into strange woods at god-knows-what. Do I? Ydyr smiles, with at least some kind of admiration for someone with that much confidence.

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund simply keeps his position near Dengar and waits as quietly as he can for whatever is coming up on them.

 

[Voadam]

Sensing the unnatural thing Jair swings his spear and shield in preparation for the oncoming attack and calls to his comrades "'Ware! From the underbrush on the left!" Jair readies his spear to fend off anything that jumps out at him.

 

[IndyPendant]

You can all hear the approach now, and the creatures don't noticeably react to Lehko's called-out greeting. In seconds, they burst from the underbrush: what look like halfling-sized, skittering, vaguely humanoid...bundles of twigs. They hesitate, and seem to clatter their twigs together at each other. Then...they move to the attack!

((Based on responses and styles, Jair will start the combat at the front of the group, with Terrek and Dengar flanking him. Behind them are Heirmund and Lehko, and on either side of them are Jerek and Ydyr. The twig monsters start the round twenty feet away from Jair. Everyone can act on their initiative, since once again you were all ready for trouble.))

((Initiative: Heirmund=18; Lehko=16; Jair=12; Ydyr=11; Jerek=9; Twigs=8; Dengar=8.))

 

[Two-Gun Kid]

As the twig like creatures rush towards them, Dengar began spinning the heavy ball shaped tip of his flail and set his feet to take their charge. As Heirmund backed up to stand a few paces behind him, Dengar understood his role well.

~I must protect him while he readies his spells...~

As the first of the twig creatures neared him, Dengar snapped his flail towards it, hoping the shatter the brindly looking creature.

 

[JimAde]

Seeing that these strange creatures are intent on causing trouble, Jerek seeks to end things quickly. He leaps forward and thrusts his blade at the nearest of the creatures, aiming for the place where humans keep their hearts and hoping the creature has one.

[sblock]OOC: Trying for the Sneak Attack damage if the creature is considered flat-footed, or if I can flank one. Otherwise just a regular attack on the nearest target.[/sblock]

 

[jayaint]

After rushing headlong into a choke hold last time, Ydyr will proceed with more caution this time.

No I won't.

Ydyr will move to flank one of the creatures who have already been engaged, and attack.

For the glory of Illmater!!!

 

[Voadam]

"These are unnatural abominations. Stay steady then strike them down when they fall upon us!"

Jair readies his spear attack to meet their rush not breaking formation with Dengar or Terrek hopefully denying the twiglings the opportunity to flank.

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund calls forth a glowing green orb and seemingly propels it forward with hand towards the creature nearest Dengar.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

"I'm beginning to think this job was a mistake!" He crosses his arm in an 'x' shape in front of him, and rapidly sweeps them downward and to either side with a gutteral yell. His right hand is covered in a couruscating sheath of crackling electricity. "First an entire street gang and now the very woods themselves?!" He takes several rapid steps forward to end up on Terrek's side, hoping to close to melee range with one of the wood monsters.

[[casting and holding the charge for Shocking Grasp, moving moving closer to but keeping out of the threat range for an AoO by a ten feet or so.]]

Spoiler

If I miss next round for some reason, I'll close to the nearest foe and attempt an unarmed strike
