Two of the creatures bump into each other atop one of the corpses. A brief conflict, and one falls off. The loser seems to follow a spiral search pattern until it appears to pick up a scent and starts heading towards the heroes hidden cubby.
"One of the centipedes, it's approaching." Roderic whispers to Rosalia. "There's three more, you may want to get Skrag and Tuk up." He readies his sword and shield.
OOC: Ready action to attack the first centipede to come within melee range.
Rosalia nods in the dim light and goes to wake Scrag first, then Tuk. They are just getting their bearings when the centipede gets close enough for Roderic to ambush it.
OOC: Surprise round! Roderic is up. Then Rose, then we go by initiative on a new round. Please Roll.
Rodeic's blade glances off the centipede's carapace and clangs into the floor, likely drawing the attention of the other centipedes and he snoozing companions. Rosalia has some difficulty hitting the low profile of the creature with her loosed arrow, and it clacks off the floor behind the beast. Grok, woken by the noise and for some reason cuddling with his mace, leaps to action and swings wildly at the darkness. And misses. Rosalia knocks another arrow and lets it fly, hoping for a second chance to score a sneak attack while flanking with Roderic, flubs again.
OOC: Still need init's for the three still sleeping. As far as thread length, I'll let the mods determine. Is there any reason to start a new thread?
