[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7314298, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 08 EXPLORE THE HIDDEN SEGMENT 162 “EMERALD CLAW CAMP” 01/05/18 BARRAKAS 7, 1000 Following the edge of the “stream” the group walks towards the campfire smoke. The sun is setting which makes them hope for friendly adventurers. As they get closer these hopes go away. Around a small fire are ten Emerald Claw soldiers in various stages of undress as they are relaxing to camp for the night. Feldrix and Kyr also spot a bald headed man dressed in black holding a staff with what appears to be an animal skull. “That better not ……be a ……necromancer.” Feldrix grumbles. Ayru, wanting to vent her frustration and somewhat searching for revenge since Tyson came out here pursuing the Claw. Quietly, she drops back and begins to flank the campsite. “Do we go around or walk-in or attack?” asks Kyr. “I’m thinking…..” answers the undead warrior. “If we attack I have an idea…… just saying.” Offers the Changeling cook. “Where did she go?!? The statue-ue-ue-oooooh!” exclaims the unstable summoner. Feldrix is quick to turn and clamp a metal and leather glove over his mouth to silence him. Too late.

Zig pulls out a potion as he moves closer using brush and obsidian shards as cover. Meanwhile, within the camp a large rat comes into view beside the possible mage even as he calls out something. Something can be spotted moving within the brush in the dark. Ayru and whatever these are, are moving towards each other. Zig throws a potion at the campfire. The acid explodes and puts out the fire leaving only scattered bits of smoldering wood. The mage casts a light spell on a stone but this is countered by Zig throwing in a fog potion. However, in this time the soldiers have gathered their equipment and wits. They form a protective barrier between the leader and where the potions are being thrown from. As the fog expands, so does the protective semi-circle. As this happens, the sounds from beyond the camp are given form as two large skeletons come out of the thicker brush. One of them nearly steps onto the hiding protector within the edge of the brush. Looking to find her, Kyr tries to follow her tracks. Having no skill or training in tracking, he fails but finds Zig easily as he follows him to the close brush. Zig has moved forward. As the soldiers exit the fog, he enters it.
