[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 2

[Commander_Fallout]

Still following behind the others, Wahyu found himself short on words. The air was tense, and sent shivers down his spine. There were monsters in the dark, scurrying at the edge of the light which, for now, was their only shield. But it was not the shield of his god, and it did not give him safety. The light moved ahead, revealing another of the beasts, and almost reflexively, Wahyu raised his crossbow, but he hesitated. The dim light was not helping his sight in this tomb, and he couldn't really make out much of anything in it. He lowered his weapon and stepped out of the light, leaning against the wall and again melting into shadow.
[sblock]Wahyu leaves the illuminated area and takes a 10 on Stealth, again giving him a 17.
He'll roll for Perception: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10

"I think we should allow him to do check out the situation and wait for him to let us know what is ahead hiding in the dark." He scans the area around them to see any sign of rats.

[sblock=Map Legend]
Scale is 5' squares. Large grey blocks are simply unexplored area. The Black Circle with S is a statue of a man dressed in classic Venzan dress. May possibly be the same man featured in artwork in frescos in the Triclinium. The Yellow circle with the Red T in it is the floating torch. Other circles are the same: Green A= Alec, Blue C=Creundithas, Red H=Hawk and Purple W=Wahyu (yet to be placed, per clarification.) Ooops, forgot a north marker… it is up, as typical in mapping.
[/sblock]


[sblock=Wahyu]
I realized one minor issue with your action: Although it was strongly implied you moved toward the corner the rat scurried around, it was not explicitly stated, so I thought I'd seek clarification. I'll be posting a map as soon as I have a few modifications (it will be an addition to this post) made for you to work with so you can be specific. (I'm assuming you start behind Cruendithas and in front of Alec, although the others are waiting on you, so there is no problem with getting a couple moves in to get to where you need to go.)

It's also worth noting that Darkvision specifies it isn't interfered with by light, so everything in line of sight to you is drawn out.

[sblock]I actually meant to say he stepped back out of the light, and thus further away from the rat. Oops.

I guess because it's not specified, he could move further toward the rat and scout it out, but I think it might be better if we all went as a group, mainly because Wahyu is a little fragile and the rat already knows the group is coming anyway, so him moving forward to look would probably just end with him being bit.[/sblock]

 

[Aura]

Wahyu slips around the corner and down the hall away from the rat, to the east, far enough that the light has somewhat dimmed. Ahead, to the west, commotion seems to be building up, but none step into the dim light of the torch as it barely illuminates the corner which the varmint ran around.

A few feet from where Hawk is standing, burial niches line the wall. You can see them… normally sized rodents… scurrying in the niches over the bodies of the deceased.

Updated map with correct position of Wahyu included:


[sblock=ooc]
No problem, Commander… that is why I asked. I'm glad I didn't assume.

PS: New map is original size instead of reduced. I think this means if you copy it to your desktop it will be much easier to read. Tell me if this is better, or if the small size was OK.

[sblock=A Misunderstanding]
I'm not sure everyone understands what happened, so let me clarify. Wahyu's move to was get out of the bright zone of the torchlight, but AWAY from where Hawk saw the rat disappear around the corner. Wahyu is at O3, and the corner where the rat ran around is E4.

This said, I think you're accidentally waiting on each other. Tailspinner, if you wish to react differently now that Wahyu has moved past Hawk and stepped a little away from the rat, that would make sense.

Hawk, Little Halfling with a Big Sword

Hawk shrugs and decides to not wait for a response. The halfling moves further down the hallway and looks down the hall to the left.

[sblock=OOC]Moving to F-3 and looking down the hallway toward E-4.[/sblock]

Several pairs Red Ratty Eyes glower at Hawk from the relative safety of the darkness as the passageway turns south. Squeaking and chittering noises get louder, then the rodents lunge forward!

[sblock=Initiative]
Yup, roll initiative. Outside of first round flat-footing the enemy from initiative rolls, there is no surprise round this time. Both sides were well aware of the other's presence.
