To Catch a Crimelord, or Down the Rabbit Hole (garyh judging)

[renau1g]

The chief informs you that it will take three days to reach the golden city of the dwarves known as Choca Paquiliz. He gives you a token of his with the symbol of Quetzalcoatl on it to give to the dwarves so they know who you are representing. He also supplies you with some dried meat to take as provisions.

You are walking through the rocky, dry terrain along a trail overlooking difficult scrub on either side. You hear rustling in the foliage and see a group moving through the brush towards you. They are carrying longbows and have spears across their backs. The savage looking humans move out onto the trail in front of you, weapons drawn. Another human is with them, he bears no weapons with him and one of his eyes is gouged out. "Ah, you are on time. The master will be pleased. You shall fetch us a great reward" the man says confidently.

[sblock=Perception DC25]
There is a large shadowy form to the south of the path, it is watching you and looks ready to strike.

Well Maptools won't load for me right now (not sure why), but it's combat time , time to test out those shiny new powers. This also means I don't have access to your inits so I'll roll tomorrow. 4 humans, 1 other human.

"The only reward you'll fetch will be my steel!" Grim calls confidently to the bandit speaker.

"On time?" Carolina asks to no one in particular. She looks into the man's one eye as she grasps the hilt of her dagger. "I've always preferred the fashionably late approach, myself."

Kruk looks at the group as he equips his axe and shield stepping foward preparing for an attack, eager for battle. He shakes his head "Your mess'n with the wrong group lad."

"No, no, you are the correct group. We shall collect your corpses and bring them to the Master. You've been interfering in our plans when you should've just kept to yourselves." the man retorts, but this is all the opening that Kruk and Georg need.

Georg rushes forward, closing the distance between them. He swings his staff towards the humans and a larger burst of flame envelopes them all.

Noticing the dark shape south of the road, Raiyek shouts a warning to his companions, pointing to the shape. "Careful, they have some beast or ally in the brush to our left!"

Warning out of the way, he turns to the apparent leader of the humans. "What plans? That's not possible unless you've been operating in Daunton. And if that's the case, then you're just the people we've been looking for." His face is serious as he readies for combat.

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, I know. Would've been nicer to have it on initiative like everyone else, haha.[/sblock]
