Lotus and the Cobra [IC]

[National Acrobat]

Mira hails the rest of the group as they are sitting and talking. "Terrible, terrible. There is something most wicked at work here. We were beset by creatures of the forest while attempting to see the yogi. Jval is gravely hurt. The baboons rushed us. Their eyes, demented. Something evil is in the forests around the village. It infects the animals." She is tired, almost out of breath.

 

[Tonguez]

"Not snakemen" Arjay replies grimly and succint "quick Jval needs a healer, so if any of you are skilled come now"

He pushes forward towards the group carrying Jval into the shade before laying him down gently.

"The other man" he then turns to the village headman Ranja "he is dead and beyond mortal aid. Is he the Yogi Sakurman?"

 

[Yellow Sign]

Ranja looks over at the body. "Oh by the Spirits! It is indeed the holy man Sakurman!"

 

[Mirth]

"Not snakemen" Arjay replies grimly and succint "quick Jval needs a healer, so if any of you are skilled come now"

He pushes forward towards the group carrying Jval into the shade before laying him down gently.

With uncommon speed and grace, Zhangyong leaps from his tree branch and bounds over to the body of the fallen Jval. Cradling him in his arms, the brahmin tries to determine the extent of his wounds. Without looking up, he calls out to Mira, "I will take care of this, devapala, but you need to form a battle plan. The serpents lie in wait for us and we must be quick to strike back."

[OOC What time of day is it? I'm guessing around early afternoon or so?]

Yudhistra turns to Ranja. "These darts [indicating to them] were found in the elephant, and they are of serpent make. We do not yet know where the serpents are, or their numbers, but you should warn your people and try to get outlying families into the village. I would also advise setting patrols, especially at night."

"Yes, yes," Mira says, as she thinks for a moment. "These darts apparently have a drug or poison that changes the nature of the victim. It is apparent that the baboons tore the yogi up right before we arrived, and would have done the same to us. We need to take the fight to the snake men, and to drive them into the forest, away from the area. Perhaps we should head into the jungle, to act as bait. Lure them into a trap, and then pounce upon them. They will not be expecting that. So far they have preyed on the innocent and weak. We should give them a taste of their own medicine." She looks around for any other suggestions that may be had.

[OOC: It is late afternoon. Dusk is about 2 or 3 hours away.]

Zhangyong, looking over Jval can tell that he is grievously wounded (-4 hp) but stable at the moment. You would think that his wounds would be bleeding more but they are not. He appears feverish though. He need his wounds tended too quickly you think. You can also tell that Mira and Arjay are also wounded.

"I have placed men to watch the villiage day and night but they have yet to see anything" says Ranja. "Why would the Yuan-ti attack women and children so?"

 

[Robbert Raets]

"Why would the Yuan-ti attack women and children so?"

"Because they are craven weaklings. Afraid to face our warriors, they attack the ones who cannot defend themselves."

 

[National Acrobat]

OOC: someone smack me next time we are near water. I don't know what I was afraid of-Mira can breath water...

Mira nods her agreement with Adus, "yes they are cowards. They strike at night or from a position where they cannot be observed. They blend well in with the foilage. That is why the fight needs to be taken to them. They are not used to direct confrontation."

"Is he going to be alright?" Arjay asks of the Vanara not knowing whethjer to trust him or not after the run in with the Babbons.

"Tell me" he continues after Zhangyongs reply "and forgive me if I offend. Do you have an affinity with Babboons?, can you explain why they attacked us - and the dead Yogi?"
