[QUOTE="Uriel, post: 1327521, member: 8222"] [I]Tzzarcct and Mantis[/I] Tzzarcct sniffed the air again. Yep, that was smoke all right...waving Mantis up from where he waited by an old dead oak tree, the Rogue took another look through the dried grasses atop the hill. Below, off to the side of the Road, a burnt-out wagon gave up the ghost at last,it's final embers burning down in the morning air. The sound of course laughter drifted up the hill from down below. Tzzarcct could see Brahnz moving down among the rocks, her form camoflauged with an appropriately colored dun cloak. Her puppy was close,too, skulking among the rocks. What was going on down there... Not ten minutes ago the [I]Band[/I] of them had smelled the smoke and had hastened up the road, curiousity more than altruism driving them (except for Whistler, with his ever-touted [I]Law[/I]...). It looked to be some sort of bandit ambush, though there seemed to be no bandits around. Wait <Spot 23>...there was an arrow and the tip of a bow sticking out from behind a boulder...freck, whoever it was, they were getting ready to pigstick Brahnz... [I]Brahnz[/I] Lupe growled as he sniffed through the rocks, his lupine muzzle searching for anything of note on the winds. Brahnz looked back at the wolf, petting him and seemingly paying him all of her attention, while <Spot 19> she,in fact, saw the archer hidden in the rocks not 30 feet away. Buffoon...to think she'd let him stick her in the back. Brahnz could clearly see signs of horses, maybe a half dozen, though these must have gone on, down the Road maybe an hour ago.It seems that some of these fools had decided to stay and loot further, pity their bad judgement. Where was Whistler and the Animal, anyways...? [I]Whistler and Semm[/I] Semm slavered. He could smell meat, very fresh meat and so much [I]blood[/I]... Whistler threw him a [I]no[/I] look that spoke volumes, even to the dim-witted [I]Animal[/I] within. Angry and flexing his massive fists, Semm didn't want to wait for the [I]Strategy[/I] that Whistler had mentioned...waiting for the enemy to show themselves was silly. Rush up and CRUSH THEM!!! Whistler knew that there were maybe 5,6 bandits.If there was a Scion with them, he wasn't sure. Whatever they were, they had left little of the poor souls who had been travelling in the Wagon. The horses or whatever had pulled the Wagon had been taken as well. Semm straightened <Nat 20 on Listen>, slavering. Whistler <Nat 1, haha,sorry> looked up annoyed, wondering what the [I]Animal[/I] was doing now!?! Around a turn in the hill came three Orcs, laughing, fresh meat still being chewed as they stopped, slack-jawed when they saw the Marshall and the big Feral. Semm and Brahnz have a Suprise Round.Brahnz' target is 30' away and in half cover. Semm's future lunch are 25 feet away. [I]Round One[/I] Whistler '20', 21 total. Brahnz 19 Tzzecct 18 Mantis 18 Lupe 15 Semm 9 Archer 14 Orcs 7 [/QUOTE]
