Jobis 'Swifthand': Male half-elven rogue 3

Jobis rolls his eyes to the sky and mutters in draconic.

"Dwarves ... nothing but trouble."

Then he advancing towards the fighters he continues in common:

"What's the use of attacking some friggin ' big fishes? It will only weaken us and if we are to survive here, we need every man we have."

He looks at the others and adds:
"And woman of course."

 

[Badger]

Toskar Shieldsplitter (dwarf Fi3)

Ignoring the call for rope for the moment, Toskar continued to look to see if the "dangerous" fish was soon to be coming to the shore. While he had no problem with protecting the shore from the creatures, he would not wait much longer before giving the fish their meal.

~As the Maker spared, so did he take away...~

Looking over to his new companion, Toskar spoke quickly.

"If th' fish only wants th' dead, there be nothin' we can do fer them. If'n they want somethin' more, well then I'm t' be thinkin' we'll be havin' a problem."

 

[Dakkareth]

Jobis 'Swifthand': Male half-elven rogue 3

Keeping a reasonable distance from the water (20') Jobis tries to placate the battle-lusty dwarves.

"Come on, it's not our problem, whatever these beasts do with the dead. And fishes can't leave the water, so there will be no problem. We should rather discuss our situation and we can do to get out of this mess."


[OOC: Trying to be persuasive ... ]

[Tumakhunter]

Jak Ogresticker, Dwarven Ranger

"Oh, fer Ground's sake," Jak muters under his breath, turning to see the howling lizard. "Well, so much for a fish dinner. Looks like lizard stew."

Jak turns and charges toward the treeline, where the more immediate threat lies. The fish don't actually appear to pose any sort of threat to those on shore, while the great lizard definitely does.

[OOC I will attack as soon as I'm able, if not this round, then next. Full charge]

 

[Macbeth]

Swift is a bad position: since he has no idea if the other survivors can hold their own, he must protect them. But with two threats, he can not attack both. he decides on a course of action:
First he yells out in a commanding voice: "Dwarves! Take up flanking positions around the sea creatures, but DO NOT ATTACK unless they attack you, they can have our dead."
He then squares off against the lizard creature, and prepares to attack.
If the lizard creature is within close enough that I can attck it after a five foot step, Swift will take a five foot step and unleash a flurry of blows. If the beast is to far away to be able to take a full attack after moving, Swift will instead charge the beast. In either case, he will be attacking unarmed.

 

[Dakkareth]

Jobis 'Swifthand': Male half-elven rogue 3 - Initiative: 9

Arhg, this one is worse than those hardheads in the military.

Although he would like to say something Jobis keeps his mouth shut and slowly moves a little to the side trying to avoid making noise and akward motions.


[OOC: Move Silently to get into a position from which he can enter a flanking position once the lizard has approached or the others attacked. Yeah, I know I'm out of order regarding initiative, but I'm against stalling this thread for so long.]

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel - half orc

Solomon takes a step or two towards the beach, per Edward's request, but hearing the roar and seeing the lizard, he changes course, and charges the best he can through the black sand against this more immediate threat.

OOC: Solomon charges (probably in range, considering his speed) and attacks with his great sword.

 

[Badger]

Toskar Shieldsplitter

{Toskar}

As the lizard emerged from the woods behind the beach with a near ear shattering yell, Toskar turned quickly to face the newest threat.

"Bloody hells...what manner o' beast is that..."

[Swift]

"Dwarves! Take up flanking positions around the sea creatures, but DO NOT ATTACK unless they attack you, they can have our dead."

{Toskar}

Staring in disbelief at the skinny, and unarmed, elf's back, Toskar considers letting the silly tree hugger have a go at the lizard before his training kicks in.

~What does he think he's gonna do...dance it to death???~

Running as fast as he feet would carry him, Toskar gripped his mace tightly and charged the lizard.

<OOC: Charge until in range, and hammer the lizard with my mace.>

 

[tburdett]

Dog Dwarven Barbarian 1 / Fighter 2

Dog moves back away from the 'bait' that he was preparing while keeping a close eye on the fishies. Not having what he considers a weapon handy really keeps him from wanting to jump right into a fight.

"Lizard? I hear it kinda tastes like chicken! Not as good as fish, but it'll do.", says Dog as he tries to watch both the fight with the lizard and the corpse-eating fish.
