The Lost City

As the warlock thinks back on the words his mentor had to share on cats, he becomes rather grateful for how loudly these creatures think - he remembers these creatures, which are known as saber cats, having a reputation for deadly ambush strikes, something those in the back were surely planning.

Not all of them were planning on Paavo immediately leaping to battle, however. Most of them only twitch in surprise, but the one in front produces a bottle from somewhere faster than Paavo can close the distance, even in the air. The bottle explodes before the barbarian hits the ground, spraying alchemical fires in a burst.

And not one of them was prepared to be rudely grabbed by the icy tentacles.

Jimmy recognizes the creature type, but doesn't know specifics about how they fight aside from what is obvious from their weapons (potions and whips). The race is known for using Poison, Sneak Attacks, Death Attacks (like Assassins have) and superb ambush skills, even if the last one was completely negated here.

SC1 throws a potion at Paavo: Touch attack (1d20+25)[45] for (1d6+19)[23] fire damage.

Saber cats win initiative, but spend their round on trying and mostly failing to escape from the tentacles. SC1 escaped. All others are still grappled.

All of the creatures are Barely Injured.

I'd like to remind you that not everyone knows the exact position of all the saber cats, even if I am sure the more perceptive party members have alerted everyone of their presence.

Yet to act in round 1: Everyone!
