He moves and then waits and listens. He knows there is little chance he will see the creature but maybe he can hear its movements. He does try to find the foe with his darkvision but knows its more likely he'll hear it. He hears nothing and doesn't see anything either. He stands and waits."I don't see or hear it," he says quietly. "I'm ready."OOC: Moves and readies an action to attack if the invisible foe is revealed to him by the others.<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250275" target="_blank">Brutus - Listen and Spot checks: 1D20+10-5 = [1]+10-5 = 6</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250275" target="_blank">1D20+10 = [7]+10 = 17</a>Down at the end of the northern corridor, the cultist standing between Timmins and Wieland is ready to fall. Timmins watches in surprise as the man drops his mace and shield and falls to his knees."I surrender," he says."No Zeidan! We can beat them!" The other cultist yells as Angus menaces the man."Eike, drop your weapon. There is no point in dying any more. We have delayed them long enough for the Masters to flee, and... I sense that Xander has betrayed us. He should have attacked by now."The other cultist hesitates."Eike! The champion has fallen! Lady Panthera has fled! The Masters are not coming to help us! Do not throw your life away!"The cultist named Eike curses in frustration but relents. he drops his mace and shield and holds up his hands. "I- I surrender to you, centaur.""Everyone be quiet!" Aureus barks out. She moves 10 feet up the corridor, standing behind Brutus to his right. She tries again to locate the invisible foe with her keen senses. "Where are you?" She whispers to herself.Timmins doesn't move a muscle but keeps his eyes on the cultist in front of him. He motions Wieland to be quiet and the young soldier nods.Aureus looks beyond Brutus and her ears twitch. "No, nothing. If there is something there, I can't see or hear it. Damn, I think it's gotten away.""Xander, that blasted duergar," the cultist on his knees curses."Quiet you," Timmins whispers harshly. The old warrior looks at Angus. "If you can understand me, go find the half-orc. Go find Caerth. He'll be able to track this Xander."Meridith stands in the dark in silence, completely blind.[OOC]So, no more -10 or even -5 for the sounds of battle. I'd already made the decision for the two cultists to surrender before [USER=24380]@Neurotic[/USER] made the suggestion for the penalty to be removed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250276" target="_blank">Aureus - Spot and Listen checks: 1D20+11 = [9]+11 = 20</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250276" target="_blank">1D20+11 = [10]+11 = 21</a> (both checks fail)[Spoiler="DM Only"]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250277" target="_blank">Xander - Hide and Move Silently (while Invisible): 1D20+7+20-5 = [10]+7+20-5 = 32</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=250277" target="_blank">1D20+11-5 = [16]+11-5 = 22</a>[/Spoiler][/OOC]</blockquote>
