Lotus and the Cobra [IC]

[Yellow Sign]

Mira, Ayjay, Jval, and Shava

With a blinding speed, Ayjay rushes into the hut and grabs the body of the Yogi and then runs out the door and away. Several of the large male baboons who where in the hut attempt to bite Ayjay as he runs by them. One's sharp fangs bite into his calf (4 points of damage). Seeing Ayjay under attack Mira moves to strike one of the Baboons who is by the front of the hut. (hit for 6 points of damage.) The baboon cries in pain but is still standing. Alike a rushing tide the baboons charge to attack. All can tell this is a very unusual behavior for a normal baboon. Two attack Mira but her armor and speed help her evade their bites. One who was near where Ayjay ran to leaps to attack but it misses. Before Jval can act four of the beasts leap upon him. Three bite deeply and hang on (savaging him for 24 points of damage). One rushes at Shava but misses with a clumsy bite. More of the beasts rush forwards. There must be 20 or 30 of the creatures.

[Yellow Sign]

Sanjit

As Sanjit looks at the dead elephant with puzzled look on his face. His sensitive ears hears something moving threw the tall grass not 30 feet away.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Zhangyong, Adus, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Gutpa speaks up. That hut must belong to the Mongoose-man, Sanjit. He has lived there for a few seasons. Though he tends to keep to himself. He come into town to buy supplies and sale carvings that he makes.

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Yudhistra says, "Perhaps we should make sure that he is well, then. If the boy hasn't left any traces here, we won't be able to find him."

 

[Mirth]

Yudhistra says, "Perhaps we should make sure that he is well, then. If the boy hasn't left any traces here, we won't be able to find him."

If there are nothing to be found of the boy, Zhangyong will agree and set out for the residence of the Mongoose-man.

 

[Hob Marshmallowfoot]

"Cruel elephant-slayer Sanjit sees you now!" Sanjit shouts at the sounds " Sanjit is a powerful devata as well, yes, indeed he is. A swami of great, mysterious power! Sanjit will punish you, cruel spirit..." Sanjit, raises his paw and utters a few arcane phrases invoking the powers of the esoteric. His fur shimmers with irridescence as scales coat his skin, radiating out from a small lizard brand on his left shoulder. He points his crossbow in the direction of the noise. "Come and show yourself, beastly devata..."

(Casting scales of the lizard +3 nat. armor and readying to fire if nothing happens, waiting until a discernable threat appears; Intimidate +0, ::sigh:: not the most wise mongoose that ever lived...)

 

[Tonguez]

Arjay runs hoping the others will follow until he sees that four ofthe beasts have attacked Jval!

"Damn" he curses as he drops the body to the ground and goes runs other to Jval his kukri ready. He grabs a babboon and tries to rip it off Jval swinging his blade 'Great Fang' at the creatures spine as he does so.

Looking up he sees Shava "run back to the village now!" he commands...

 

[Robbert Raets]

Adus sets out to Sanjit's hut. He will try to move as stealthily as possible.

He tells his companions as he dissapears into the undergrowth: "I will go there now. If I find nothing unusual there, I will return swiftly. Eyes open!"

 

[National Acrobat]

"By the great bear!" Mira yells, this is unexpected. She presses the attack, attempting to do as much damage as possible.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Zhangyong, Adus, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Zhongyong, Yudhistra, and Gutpa do a careful search of the area looking for signs of the boy. While Adus swiftly runs towards Sanjit's hut. After several minutes Zhongyong finds a torn piece of white cotton with a small blood stain. Yudhistra finds a small foot print which Zhongyong thinks could be the boy's. It appears to be headed east.
