Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

Rappai, Grippli Cleric/Divine Oracle (Jarrijan, Grippli Monk)

"The creature, I know not what it is, I don't. A mass of leeches . . . a mass," Rappai intoned, "but I know some things about it. Not weak or strong against any energy it is. No mind to control, though it does think, it does. To cut it would be better that to mash it, so cut, cut."

Rappai reluctantly pulled herself away from shining pool of all things to return to the others and aid them against the beast. Looking that the debris, she silently wondered if those bones were the bones of the warriors she had sent to their deaths.

"Well best to try to attack it from a distance, but be ready in case those things turn on us. It would be difficult to all rush out of here at once." Undinar offers as a battle plan. While nothing if not direct, there is little information to go on at the moment.
 

"Very good. Let's combine our strength and make one coordinated strike against it. Once Mourn is finished with his investigations, let us strike together, as one. I shall conjure a death cloud in the chamber. With a bit of luck, we will remove this vile beast from this world."
 

*Tiana prepares for the fight by wielding her shortbow.*

"Oo-kay, let's dance! I'm ready whenever you are," she says placing an arrow on the bow and practising her aim on the slimy creature.
 

*Mourn, as you brush away the debris, you see that one of the items appears to be a small spear, similar to the kind you've seen some of the grippli tribesmen carrying. It's head is made of some kind of shiny white substance. Another area seems to be a sheet of something dark, perhaps leather or something. One seems to be a massive ring made of silver. The fourth seems to be coming from a gourd with a stopper in it. The fifth seems to be coming from a crude scroll case made from bamboo and capped with river rocks. The sixth looks to be a crumbled heap of cloth, but you can't tell much more than that.*

*Rappai, it's hard to tell if the bones of the grippli are down here, but when Mourn uncovers the white-tipped spear, you can immediately tell that belonged to Yrippri, one of the warriors that was lost here. It was his prized possession.*

*How exactly are you all attacking?*
 

"I think Invelion has the best plan. Should his spell succeed in killing the creature, then we have accomplished our goal with very little trouble." Mourn whispers to his companions. "Should it prove insufficient or ineffective, then myself and Invelion can fireball it. Should that not kill it, we're starting to get into trouble..."


(OoC: Mourn will wait to see if Invelion's cloudkill works. If it doesn't, he'll drop a fireball on the creature, and hope that proves effective.)
 

"If these chumbags killed someone of your people, then let's end this thing once and fo'all."
*As he joins Tiana at a safe distance from the deadly cloud, Harry aims his hand crossbow at the creatures, trying to remember if the thing in the tunnel was anything like these leeches.
 

*Tiana is ready to shoot at any time, but she will wait and see, if the spells are enough before wasting any arrows.*

(OOC: If Cloudkill doesn't work, full attack with shortbow +16/+11, dam 1d6+1.)
 

Undinar readies his aquatic longbow and stands beside Tiana ready to fire if needed. The longbow is quite unique in this part of the world, holding a slightly more fluid shape to the bend and the string used is an odd deep green formed mostly from kelp. Runes have been carved into the bow with extreme care, aquan script running the length of the bow. The arrow he draws however looks normal enough, carrying white fletching and a strong steel tip.

[ooc: fires with Tiana if it becomes necessary, +12/+7 ranged 1d8 + 4 damage, x3, 110', P]
 

Rappai, Grippli Cleric/Divine Oracle (Jarrijan, Grippli Monk)

Rappai waited to see if the tall one's plans would work, doubtful of her own actions because of the clear evidence of the lost grippli . . . lost because of her.

"Stand watch, Jarrijan, watch," Rappai cautioned. "Wait, wait to see if the tall one's plan will work."
