Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brazeku" data-source="post: 4032512" data-attributes="member: 48916">[sblock=ooc]Sorry about the delay, I had an enormous project to finish last week actually writing a mass of stat blocks.  That is now thankfully out of the way.[/sblock]After Minnefret takes to the air, Runihuna leaps atop one of the terraced balconies and fires an arrow deep into the creature's hide.  A stream of white, glowing sand jets outward from the impact in a glimmering puff; you've clearly been wounding the Crocodile goddess, although you're not sure how badly.From your new vantage points, Runihuna and Minnefret, you can see a tall, red-skinned man standing on the rooftops.  He wears the vestments of a dockworker, but has the head of a falcon with burning eyes and carries a red-ringed crook with easy grace.  The strange man is taking no effort to conceal himself, he was merely hidden from your view when you were in the high-walled alley beneath.  There are probably two or three dozen of the translucent Ba-spirits clustered around his feet and on the flat roof he stands upon, with more constantly fading out of the air to land close to him.  The man meets your gaze briefly, then looks on as Ammut's head swings about, her nose raised high in search of more spirits to devour.  Seeing this falcon-headed entity fills you with an unbidden emotion, one which is not your own:   a strange sense of pity, mixed with contempt.  (You realize that this being is very likely a guide of the dead, one of a host of guardians and lesser divine servants who is responsible for the guardianship of Ba-spirits while they remain in the mortal realm.  He certainly matches the depictions you've seen carved into mortuary temple walls - typically he would be associated with a particular temple or region.  If he is responsible for this region, he truly does have much to feel pity about.)</blockquote>
