Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Pebele]

[sblock] There are random rocks and brush that could possible be used for cover, and the entrance to the ruin is only about 10 feet wide, so they could hide off to either side of it.[/sblock]

Sepoto carefully moves forward in to the shadows. To his ears, he makes far too much noise on the irregular floor of the ruined temple. However, The voices never stop talking, and in fact seem to get more boisterous as he approaches.

After he has traveled about 40 feet, he is almost at the end of a long hallway. Immediately in front of Sepoto is a medium sized room. Sepoto is able to spot the source of the voices. There are two men sitting at a rickety table, they appear to be playing cards. Sepoto is able to make out that the man closest to him has the same tattoo that the group saw on the bandits who were killed by the dinosaurs.

Before they have a chance to stop their game or lower their voices, Sepoto quickly turns and moves back towards the entrance.

Sepoto skulks back to the others with nary a sound, stopping just short of Catherine in the unlit, ruined corridor. His whispered voice seems to come out the darkness itself when he speaks.

"It seems I'Katra has shown us the way to the men who slaughtered the caravan, Friend-Catherine. It is as we suspected, they use the ruins as their home. Sepoto has seen the marks on their arms; they are like the others."

 

[Yeoman]

"It looks that way my friend. Good job on the recon. Let's move in and take them out quickly. If any of those bandits tries to run farther in, do whatever it takes to stop them. We can't afford to have them alert the rest of the bandits. If we're overmatched, don't hesitate to retreat."

Catherine takes a deep breath and shifts her grip on the halberd. "Ready? Let's go!"

 

[Rolzup]

"Excellent," Darrick hisses fiercely. "If we take cover to either side of the entrance, one of us can make some noise to draw them out...and then we can cut off their retreat. I'd like to have words with these fellows."

"Perhaps the three of us can move in quietly and try to strike them down before they even know we are there. Drawing them out here would be a good idea too, though. What kind of noises did you have in mind Darrick?"

 

[Rolzup]

Darrick shrugs, offering a faint smile. "The sound of wounded bandits, perhaps? Limping home after being mauled by," he winces, flexing his arm, "Terrible lizards?"

"Sounds good to me, Darrick. I like either plan." Kaelan shrugs his shoulders. "It is up to you Catherine." Whether he is going in or staying and waiting for the ambush, Kaelan hides next to the opening, ready to strike any enemy coming out. Man I wish those were attack rolls. Hide/MS: 31/30 (Darricks aura included)

 

[Yeoman]

"If you think you can draw their attention that way Darrick, then by all means. Everybody else stay to the shadows as much as you can."

 

[Rookseye]

"I agree, Darrick, a fine plan."

Sepoto flanks the opposite side of the entryway from Kaelan, ready to rush in if the bandits seem wary and do not respond to Darrick's trickery. He draws his obsidian-bladed kukri, and brings it in close to his side as he slouches off into the shadows of the ruined hallway.

[SBLOCK] Hide Check = 25
Move Silently = 30 [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rolzup]

"Willing to try, at least. Not much of an actor, mind.... The rest of you hide, then, as best you're able." Waiting until the others have concealed themselves, he removes his helmet and puts it off to one side, behind some rubble. He drops to one knee, pulling his cloak over himself, and then goes fully prone. Covered as much as possible by his cloak, he calls out, "Help! For pity's sake, help! I'm bleeding like a pig! Damned lizards, they came for the corpses!"
