[LPF] Expansion

[VVilhem]

Megan moves forward with her heavy crossbow, right behind Naria (E9). She looks around for signs of danger, but is too tired from the horse ride to do a proper job.

OOC: NOT a good start...

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel tucks away the longspear and readies her shield as she moves up beside Naria.

"Right, never know who to trust. But, beasts usually don't lie. At least I don't think Ajax lied to me."

She pulls out a javelin and looks doubtful at the water. She frowns, remembering previous experiences facing goblin squids.

Ariel doesn't like murky water that rises above her waist, as it gets rather unpleasant down there and this place looks like it might have leeches to boot. "Yuck."

Ariel Esimae

 

[sunshadow21]

From what your guide told you on your way there, the flies plant their eggs in dead bodies so that the maggots have something to feed on. The maggots get to medium size before transforming into giant flies after consuming enough food. Your guide is hopeful that the maggots have not yet turned into adult flies, and you can see several dead maggots amongst the corpses that didn't survive their siblings' hunger. You're guessing that the surviving maggots are probably burrowed into the ground near the pile of bodies, but you don't know how many have survived to this point. The water here is about knee deep for the average person.

 

[VVilhem]

"Why don't we move a little closer (E/F 13/14) and chuck a few rocks at the corpses?" Whispers Megan to Ariel and Naria, "That might startle the maggots and get them to show themselves."

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel comments quietly to Naria, "Let's move forward then and get a closer look."

She wades into the water, glad the brackish brown liquid only goes up to her lower thigh, At least I won't have to worry about cleaning the much out of her down there. As long as I don't trip that is.

Coming up on the other side of the water to the dry land again, Ariel holds the javelin ready to throw.

Ariel Esimae

 

[VVilhem]

Megan eschews the dry land in favor of the wet marshes, hoping that it would hide her better. She trudges as silently as she can and stops near Ariel (G13) with crossbow ready.

OOC: Much better rolls!

[sunshadow21]

As you move forward you don't see anything until Ariel stops for a second to look around. She doesn't get much opportunity to do so, because after only a few seconds of standing there, a maggot rises out of the grounds and throws up on her. (I need a Fortitude save DC 15 to avoid being sickened.) At that point another maggot starts rising from the ground as well closer to the rock, but you see no other movement from the carcasses.

Initiative:
You
Them

[sblock=map]
The water is difficult terrain, but passable. The trees provide partial cover for any ranged attacks, but otherwise do not hinder movement themselves.

Party Status:
Ariel: 16/16 HP remaining
Audra: 10/10 HP remaining
Guardian: 19/19 HP remaining
Megan: 16/16 HP remaining
Naria: 15/15 HP remaining

Enemy Status:
Maggot 1:
Maggot 2:

[VVilhem]

Megan takes aim at the maggot near the rock (J18) and let loose a bolt.

OOC: I believe that Megan is within 30 ft of the maggot for sneak atk. If not, she will 5-step into H14 to close the distance.

She then drops her bow and moves to flank the nearer maggot with Ariel, drawing her dog slicer in the process.

OOC: Assuming no 5-step needed, moves to F16.

[sunshadow21]

OOC: You're close enough, but it already moved, so it's not flat footed.
