Under strange stars

Jagra nods at the captain's words and makes ready to depart. "I still have some time that I can fly - shall I scout ahead?"

"Let's be extra careful the cyclopses don't notice us going to the bird's nest. That could provoke them to attack and forget the three days they gave us," Amira says.
 

Menghil hikes up his belt and starts off in the direction of the nest. He keeps his eyes forward as he walks, but addresses those behind him.

"I wouldn't count on the three days anyway. From Jagra's little encounter, it sounds like certain parts of the population might just want to get a head start on the killing and maiming and death."
 

The party follows the jungle, just behind the barrier of thicket, since it´s the best way to walk without being seen, as Amira suggested, though it´s a bit slower. You have a couple of unpleasant encounters along the way with jungle animals and some rotten fruit falling from a tree that could worry a party of lesser adventurers, but not you.

As the day advances you fibally arrive at a point where the "nest" lies directly to your right. As you prepare to leave the jungle, several of you notice that something big is following you, and there are several of them. They are still well concealed, they are at some 120 feet of you, and they´re most likely cyclopses.

Amira looks behind and notices the big figures following the party. "So much of doing this unnoticed. We're getting some company," she says and proceeds to cast a protective spell.

(OOC: Amira casts Mage Armor on herself.)
 


(ooc - sorry, Thanksgiving and all)

"hmmm."

Menghil draws his cutlass and stops in his tracks, still facing forwards. He rests the flat of his blade in the palm of his other hand and turns his head to consider his companions.

"So, do we take 'em here and now, or lead them on a ways?"

He looks back at the path and follows it along, looking for any convenient battle ground.

Jagra nods at the dwarf's words, fully (but silently) agreeing with him...

Later, once the party discovers that they are being followed, the gnome furrows his brow. "These blokes are really beginnin' to chap my hide..." He follows the dwarf's lead, looking around for a good ambush spot. While he looks around, he quickly casts resistance upon himself.

"We ambush them here. Its only to thier advantage to get out in the open."

OOC:Sorry for the delay. Thanksgiving, as has already been said. Someone did I get my ape-girl back when we returned to the jungle?
 

(No, Akeeta is nowhere to be seen)

Jagra´s intuition proves to be correct: seven cyclopses, not counting your friend the spellcaster, comes into full view. "TAI UN POKO LEHO DER BARKO" says Ureos. "PA MI KE VAI A HASE ARGO MALO CON EL PAHARO COHONUO. DARLE CANYA, KOLEGA!" (You´re a little far from the ship. So I was right: you´re going to mess with our Great Bird. Go for them!)

"TAO KIETO!" Pesetokos steps behind them, speaking with a commanding voice. "YASTA GÜENO DE KACHONDEO. DEHAR TA GENTE EN PA!" (Stop. These are good people, leave them alone)

"ME TIENE HAHTA LO COHONE, HILIPOLLA!" replies Ureos. "TI VAMO A DA LA DEL PULPO A TI TANVIEN!" (I´m so tired of you too!. We´re going to... Ooops! Jagra stops translating as the cyclopses charge)

Initiative: Cyclopses go in 17. Before them go Shin´nairo (Rayex hasn´t shown in a good time, and he (she?)´s left other games as well, so I´ll autopilot her character.), and Jagra. So I´ll run a first round with just Shin´nairo, Jagra and the cyclopses, before retruning to our normal you go-they go.

If I haven´t explained me well, please ask and I´ll try again in the OOC thread.
