"Crouch low among the flora of the jungle.  I'll try and and send whomever is coming nearby where you can strike with surprise."  Talas then ducks behind a tree near Bregan and Cholas on the opposite side of the trail from the others.  He waits quietly, listening for a moment, then with a thought, produces the sound of a horrid ghostly moaning, coming from the area where the dead lizardman still lay and where Drekhad and Alexa crouched.  Talas makes the moan last for several seconds, before letting the illusion away.  With another thought, a glowing humanoid shape appears just beyond the body of the dead lizardman and lasts for half a minute before winking out of existance.[sblock=ooc]The plan here is to get Bregan, Cholas, and Talas on one side of the trail.  On his way to help drag Bregan off the trail, Talas does his best to crunch the ferns and such down, as well as spattering some blood on them, trying to make it look like the lizardman came through here, before falling dead.  Hopefully Drekhad and Alexa hide near the trail I made.  Once on the other side of the trail, Talas will hide among the plants, use his arcane attunement ability to make ghost sounds and sounding like ghostly moaning  and make it last for 2 rounds.  Talas will then listen for anything approaching, and then cast another arcane attunment to create the glowing humanoid shape of dancing lights, which he will keep up for a full 30 seconds.  Hopefully we will get a suprise round out of this with whatever is coming.  Keep in mind that arcane attunement abilities are spell like so no verbal components.  DC for the ghost sounds once interracted with is Will:  12[/sblock]</blockquote>
