[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5571685, member: 16069"] WHUMP Suddenly the centre of the stony rubble pile rises up several inches, and then as suddenly collapses- rocks, dirt and debris tumble in to the crater. And that's not all, a pair of Beetles scurry forth. Each of the creatures is four-or-so feet long, and two-or-so feet hight, and covered in a shiny black carapice. Along the joins, between the armoured ridged plates that make up the creatures exoskeleton, are seering red to gold bulging bands. Fire Beetles, and at close quarters, this could prove dangerous. [OOC]As a free action you are allowed to make a Monster Knowledge check, normally I wont be telling you the names of the enemies you face- save at times like this when it's obvious to you what the creatures/monsters are. Fire Beetles are Natural Beasts- that means you can make a free Nature Check at any time and I will tell you what you know- obviously the higher the better on your rolls. Other creatures require other Monster Knowledge checks, and so- Abberation = Dungeoneering Elemental = Arcana Fey = Arcana Immortal (Devils, Demons & Angels) = Religion Natural = Nature Shadow = Arcana Undead = Religion For the most part you will have to guess from my description as to which of the above a creature belongs- warning, you can find out some useful stuff from these checks, do not dismiss them lightly.[/OOC] Back to the action- The Beetles look for targets, prepare to sally forth or else warm you up a little. [OOC]Roll Initiative, and make any Nature checks you wish.[/OOC] Map to follow- [url]http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/goonalan/[/url] [/QUOTE]
