Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC02

[Scotley]

Tylara

"I saw something magical over here..." Her voice trails off and she focuses on locating the item.

 

[KerlanRayne]

"Really? Well then let's investigate." Kerlan goes with the others to follow Tylara to her destination.

 

[Lou]

Francheska Walova

"Magical, you say..., down here?" Francheska peers towards where Tylara is leading them.

 

[Leif]

As the wizards draw closer to the positive magical reading that first attracted Tylara to the area, they see the aforementioned large, rotting wooden shield, and what the spell is reading is evidently beneath the shield. When you get quite near to the shield, Kerlan and Tylara are surprised when they notice that, lying near the old rotten shield is a discarded, black robe that they would swear just moved slightly. Instantly, Tylara halts the group of invisible wizards on a dime.

Now what?

OOC: hmmm, where is a ten foot pole when you need it.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan whispers to the group. "I, I think I saw that cloak move. There may be something hiding underneath it." Kerlan then looks around on the floor beneath him. He selects an object and picks it up. "Prepare yourselves in case something bad comes out." Kerlan tosses the object at the cloak.

OOC: Kerlan is not attacking, it's just something to get it's attention. This shouldn't break the invisibility.

Xavier puts his finger to his lips, motioning for the others to stop moving and keep quiet, while he whispers the words to a spell. What sounds like a child sobbing next to the shield.

Kerlan flicks a piece of junk from the floor (a bent and corroded metal candlestick) toward the "cloak" and Xavier creates an audible illusion of sobbing coming from nearby the "cloak" but away from the group of wizards. What happens next is quite remarkable: The sounds begin a split second before the candlestick hits its mark, and in response to the sound the "cloak" begins to tremble all over. When the candlestick impacts the "cloak" it rises up like a striking snake. If someone had really been standing there and sobbing, the Cloaker would have totally enveloped him. As it happens, however, the Cloaker is quite disappointed and thrashing about on the ground.

Kerlan's eyes grow big at the sight of the creature. "A Cloaker!" he whispers harshly. "It's amazing. I've only read about them in books. A truly fascinating camouflage." Kerlan appears to come back to the present. "We should probably all attack at once. It would never know what hit it. How does that sound?" he asks quietly.
