[Koboldquest] Delivering the box

[Krug]

As you continue on your way, the woods start to lighten slightly. The ground beneath seems rather soft and slightly swampy.

Miki, Nah'l, Taden, Zort:

Spoiler

You notice something stirring in the bushes in front of you, about 40' away.

 

[Krug]

El bumpus

 

[Diirk]

Miki motions the party to stop and then draws his bow and moves to the slide slightly so he has a clear line of sight to the bush. He nocks an arrow and waits, ready to fire instantly if threatened.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Lok-Nar looks at Miki curiously, then realizes that there's something to fight in that bush. Taking their loaded hand cannon off his back, they point it at the the bush.*

"What is it?" Lok demands.

 

[Diirk]

"I don't know", answers Miki. "You should go check, I'll cover you from here."

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

In a quiet, beyond terrified voice, Taden pointed, "Somthing moves the big green thingy..." somehow, he'd also managed to get his bow out, hands shaking the whole while.

 

[Krug]

As Miki points it out, the others look closer, being careful not to move too much. Serk, the unobservant, squints. Trying to hide in the foliage is the biggest darnest toad you've ever seen, larger than a kobold and about the size of the Dweibolds. It appears to be waiting. You realise that there's a companion next to it, about 15' away.

"I think they're waiting... for us" whispers Serk, stating the painfully obvious. "Don't move too much," her voice a whimper.

The toads don't seem to know that they've been detected yet.

There's plenty of bushes and trees around to seek cover behind around you, and the toads are presently considered to be behind moderate cover.

"Ha! Dinner!" Lok says cheerfully, if quietly. "Come on, let's get them while we have the drop on them!" Nar murmurs. Lok-Nar creeps forward a bit, and then lets the first toad have a snack of lead and gunpowder.

OOC - Move forward 20 feet and fire at T1.

 

[The Baron]

Kadan wastes no time after his hungry companion makes the first move. He sneaks up behind Lok-Nar, crossbow aimed at the nearest toad.

He whispers, "I've heard frog legs are tasty. Bigger frog equals bigger tasty, no?"

(OOC: Sneak forward and fire crossbow - if for some reason the toad gets within 25', I blast it with a ray of enfeeblement)

 

[Ferrix]

Nah'l moves up beside Lok-Nar and hefts a javelin, hurling it at the closest toad that's still kicking.

OOC: Javelin +3 (-whatever range penalties), (1d6+4, 20/x2, range 30)
