Lotus and the Cobra [IC]

[Yellow Sign]

OOC: There is about 20 or so baboons around you. When the baboons got that red glow in their eyes your horses paniced and ran off. Arjay and Mira are back to back with Jval's body at your feet. Your guide has run off and the baboons have ignored him. The yogi's body is a few feet away.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Adus

You quickly make your way in the direction of the hut. After a few minutes you come out of some tall grass to see the hut, a rotting corpse of a elephant, and a beastlike man bent over the body of a boy.

Zhangyong, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Treking forwards Zhangyong finds a faint trail which could be from the boy. It leads you in the direction of the hut and after Adus.

Sanjit
The boy does not seem to be seriously hurt. A few bruises and cuts. But he appears to be in shock and has a blank stare.

 

[Robbert Raets]

Aim my bow at Sanjit and yell: "Step away from the child!!" (Heroes confusing each other for bad guys are so much fun, don'tya agree? )

 

[Hob Marshmallowfoot]

(ok forget the spellcasting)
Sanjit looks up at the Muni and steps back Sanjit is a powerful Swami city folk... put down your weapon; he wishes to help this child

 

[National Acrobat]

Mira glances at the situation, then speaks to Arjay, "death would serve no purpose here. We should try to effect an exit. I just do not know how far we will get without horses."

 

[Tonguez]

"Far enough to not be surrounded" the Nomad growls "and hopefully if we get far enough these demons will not chase us.

Come around and take this man. I will try and give you time before following with the Swami - perhaps the element of surpise will help us. Ready?..."

Arjays body is tense ready to spin and allow Mira to take up Jval. If that goes well he intends defend the pair as they escape before he himself attempts his own escape...

 

[Mirth]

Zhangyong, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Treking forwards Zhangyong finds a faint trail which could be from the boy. It leads you in the direction of the hut and after Adus.

"We are on the trail of the dead, I fear," Zhangyong shouts behind to the others as he bounds ahead on all fours through the trees. "Hurry! We must not give up hope."

 

[Robbert Raets]

"I am hardly a city-dweller, Mongoose-Man. And one who is unsure of your allegiance and intentions, but for now, you may proceed." (Adus lowers his bow.)

 

[Yellow Sign]

Zhangyong, Yudhistra, and Gutpa

Making your way through some thick elephant grass and a corpse of trees, you sight the hut. The smell of rotting flesh is faint in the air. Ahead you see Adus and a aminalistic man talking, a small form at their feet. About 30 feet away from them, the body of a badly decomposing elephant can be see.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Mira, Ayjay, Jval, and Shava

Ayjay springs into action, attacking a baboon and slaying it (crit. for 12 points of damage). Mira picks up Jval and runs through the opening made by Ayjay's attack. Several baboons attack, one biting Ayjay in the leg (4 points of damage). Mira though burdened with carring Jval evades two attacking baboons.
