Rhun's Weekend Game - Dwellers of the Forbidden City - IC Thread

[industrygothica]

Abel tightens his grip on his mace as he surveys the area. "I don't think I've ever heard such an ominous silence," he says in a whisper.

 

[dog45]

Zeddicus slowly draws his blade, trying not to make any noise. He whispers back to Abel, "Where do you think we should go first?"

 

[Shayuri]

"A moment," Talshia suggests. "This feels wrong."

She casts a spell under her breath, and the sharp eared can hear moving away from the party, the sound of footsteps...as if someone invisible were trying to be stealthy, and not doing a terribly good job of it.

The faux-quiet steps move out the mouth of the tunnel, then a soft whistle sounds...as if to signal an all-clear.

(Ghost Sound)

Abel opens his mouth to answer Zeddicus but stops short at Talshia's voice--thankfully, because he's at a loss at the moment.

He spins on his heels hard looking in the direction of the noise, confused as he sees nothing actually making it. He feels a little embarrassed when he finally realizes what is the cause.

 

[Falkus]

Seril dropped into a half crouch, the Cautious Wolf stance, with his bow at the ready. He agreed with the others about the assessment of the situation. He let his actions speak, not his words, just simply preparing himself to fire an arrow.

 

[Rhun]

The ominous silence is suddenly shattered by a war-cry, as a dozen of the furry goblinoids charge toward you out of the ruins, spears and shields at the ready. Two of the creatures charge the area where Talshia’s spell has made something of a distraction, but the rest charge directly at you. Charging with them are two larger foes. The first is a muscular humanoid dressed in dark gray half plate and bearing a falchion. His skin is scaled, and he has a distorted snake-like head. His companion, dressed in banded mail has similarly scaled skin. But his head is that of a human…his arms however, are not arms at all, but living, writhing snakes!

 

[Rhun]

No surprise, your group’s keen senses and such spoiled the ambush! 6 goblinoids and one of there reptilian friends charge from each side of the road, east and west. 2 of the goblinoids are attempting to attack the ghost sound.

Abel steps up and swings at the creature with snakes for arms, hoping to put the apparent toughest down before they have a chance to get started.

Seeing the horde of enemies coming at them, Zeddicus straightens up and holds his sword out. He traces a pattern in the air, and then lowers his sword, ready for the goblins with a slight smile on his face.

[Falkus]

Seril rapidly pulled out and fired two arrows, aiming at two of the charging goblins who hadn't been distracted by the spell.
