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

[Rhun]

The clefts are jagged things, four or five feet wide and eight to ten feet high, spaced some twelve to fifteen feet apart. They appear to lead somewhat straight back into the cliff, neither ascending or descending, and curving out of view after about twenty feet. The entrance to each is covered in mud and slop, and strange clawed footprints can be seen leading deeper into all three of the caves. They appear similar to Sandor's own footprints, clawed and heavy, but larger even than his. There is no light from beyond, no breeze, and not one of them appears to be used any more frequently than the others.

"All of these are used passages. I see no reason to prefer one over another," sighs Sandor, soewhat frustrated.

"Shall we start with the middle one?" he asks, and enters the fissure.

 

[Rhun]

Sandor enters the narrow passage, leading the rest of the group into the cliff. The fissure is crooked, twisting and turning, and after fifty or sixty feet opening into a rounded chamber some sixty feet in diameter. Two other exits are apparent nearby, perhaps leading two the other two fissures. The floor is slick with mud, and strewn with refuse.

Two stocky, muscular lizardmen stand before you, their black scales gleaming in your light. They stand near nine-feet in hieght, and hold huge, gnarled greatclubs in their hands. A leathery crest runs from the top of their heads to the middle of their backs. They hiss as you come into view, exposing rows of sharp fangs.

Another of their kind is crouched in the far end of the chamber, shaking two others from their sleep.

Figuring it took 30 minutes to move through the swamp...

OOC: okay, I didn't specifically *say* I was picking up my spear again, but assuming it is ok to say I did, we'll go with the following (If not, claws and bite!)


IC:

Sandor recognizes the blackscale lizardfolk, and understands the threat they represent. He positions himself directly in front of them, and attacks with his spear. They too will have reach, but he wants to be able to interpose himself in case any move for his travelling companions.

 

[Voidrazor]

"Pardons for stating the obvious. But those are some awfully big lizards. I suppose its too late to say," in Draconic, "Oops sorry, you're not the reptiles we're looking for."

Helios pulls out a now familiar wand and activates it upon Sandor. Suddenly the reptilian druid grows to tower over his black scaled cousins. The fire genasi takes a quick step back.

OOC - move action to grab wand, wand of enlarge on Sandor, 5' adjust back

 

[Falkus]

Seril snapped his longbow up, drawing bead on the closest lizardman, and letting two arrows fly.

OOC: Rapid shot at the closest lizardman.

 

[Shayuri]

Talshia steps instinctively back from those clubs, and her eyes roll up to show the whites. With her hands, she fashions the mudras, and she begins chanting invocations in Celestial.

(Summon Monster II, aiming for the area between the two groups of lizardmen...hoping to slow the reinforcements down.

What is she summoning?

 

[Shayuri]

(celestial bombadier beetle, I believe. Decent AC, and an area attack, albeit weak)

 

[industrygothica]

Abel readies his mace but stays back, letting his foes come to him.
