Round 1, continued

Ter-raen takes a defensive stance.

The splashing and growling gets closer, and Gildrim and Ter-raen can see...

[sblock=darkvision]A terribly angry crocodile. It's making quite a bit of noise, swimming rapidly through the water, straight towards the isle. There appears to be some blood in the water, though you cannot see the source.[/sblock]

Apikotoa undamaged
Ter-raen 14/14
noise maker, visible to darkvision. damaged?

[Trouvere]

"Cockodrill!" Gildrim hisses. "Comin' straucht fur Erf! Let it gae by if it will!" He takes a step back.

OOC: Knowledge (nature) 1d20+6=18; stepping SW

 

[Halford]

"No need te eat us Mr. Crocodile!" Erf calls pulling out several chunks of meat from Fenenn's saddlebags and flinging them towards the edge of the Island.

The Forest Gnome then steps to the south west and Fenenn moves next to Gildrim in front of his companion growling menacingly.

Round 1, continued

Gildrim warns the party, and ponders what he knows about crocodiles. (ooc: Gildrim still has a standard action left, so I will assume total defense. You can change that if you like.)

[sblock=kn(nature) DC 15]Crocodiles, while not fish, are excellent swimmers and can remain submerged for a long time. Their most dangerous weapon is their formidable jaws, which are difficult to escape once it has grabbed its victim. But its long tail is also a weapon to be feared.[/sblock]

Erf attempts to distract the crocodile by throwing fresh meat. Fenenn stands between his master and the danger.

Round 2

Apikotoa, still unable to see the crocodile, steps forward slightly and aims an arrow at the darkness, ready to fire when any threat emerges.

Ter-raen...

Initiative:
Apikotoa undamaged, attack readied
Ter-raen 14/14 <== You're up
Crocodile damaged? Only visible with darkvision
Gildrim 8/9, 1 dex dmg. 15 AC, +4 AC until next turn
Erf 12/12
Fenenn 13/13

map

 

[Halford]

[sblock=Positions] Erf actually took a diagonal five oot step back placing himself one square above and one square to the left of Gildrim whilst Fenenn steps in front of Erf one square above Gildrim.[/sblock]

 

[covaithe]

[sblock=positions]Yes, but Gildrim also stepped SW, creating the position shown on the map. You can change Erf and Fenenn's move if you like.[/sblock]

 

[Halford]

[sblock=Positions]Whoops my bad covaithe, I brought up one of the older maps to compare Erf's old position, but I now see that the map simply updates you are not posting different iterations, doh![/sblock]

 

[Trouvere]

"Did ye ken a cockodrill is nae a fish?" asks Gildrim. "Whit? Ah lived aneath a hill covirt wi' goats an' trees! Hou mony cockodrill's dae ye ween Ah've seen afair!?"

 

[covaithe]

ooc: Waiting for Ter-raen's action. I'll wait until tomorrow sometime.

HP 14/14, AC 18

Ter-raen can't seem to recall if he's ever fought a crocodile before, but that tree-trunk-like creature shambling towards him definitely looks like it's got muscle and a thick hide to go with it. Ter-raen sheaves his scimitar and picks up his shortspear and shield, preparing to go at it hoplite-style. He would want to charge at the animal, but common sense says that it's not easy to charge something in water, so he moves forward to the edge of the moss instead.
