A trap! I suspected as much...

Kotung doesn't lose a second as he darts toward the nearest goblin, freeing his falchion as he moves. He raises the weapon above his head and brings it down with great force as he reaches the wretched creature.

A trap! I suspected as much...

Kotung dashes into the bushes as he hears the great beast roar. He stares hard at this new foe, and casts Flesh to Stone.

Move action: Moving to B6. Standard Action: Cast Flesh to stone, targeted at the big nasty thing. Fort DC 22.

It's very handy to link the spell if it's one from the SRD, otherwise, try to give a basic description of the effect in the summary. For Flesh to Stone, for example: Target:One creature, Fort DC22 or subject is petrified, SR: Yes
This way I can respond to your posts faster, and keep combat flowing more smoothly.

((OOC: Out of character comments should be formatted like this, and inside spoiler tags. I don't discourage the use of these in the IC thread like some DMs do. Sometimes you catch something that needs to be pointed out before people post further and make the mistake worse, and not everyone is checking the OOC thread before every post.))

Sometimes I will post information that is only to be known by particular characters, like this.

This is for things that only that particular character knows at this time. If you feel you can keep your knowledge and your character's knowledge well separated, you can read these for other people's characters. But if you would rather enjoy the mystery, avoid these.

Don Lorenzo and Sentinel

Spoiler

Your march through the jungle is largely uneventful, and your Drow guides keep almost exclusively to themselves, only ever speaking to you with orders like "Rest now." or "March now.". Uneventful, that is, until early morning on the third day of marching, when the normal din of the jungle is suddenly torn apart by an enormous roar. Split seconds later, a dark green and brown striped tiger bursts into your vision, a swarm of angry locusts in pursuit.

The tiger falters in its step as it notices you, slowing just enough to allow the locusts to catch and engulf it. Another massive roar tears through the air and the enraged beast launches itself at the nearest Drow, slashing him deeply with a swipe of claws. The inured Drow seems to ignore the pain as he slashes back at the tiger with his long knives, both slicing through the muddy fur. His companions act in the same instant, knives flashing as they strike the beast.

Dirk and Xyshi

You arrive at the rendezvous spot you arranged with Myrynth. It is now mid morning, the day before you expect the attack forces to arrive. As you sit waiting in the jungle, there is a sudden whoosh of wings as an eagle alights a few feet in front of you. In moments, the eagle grows and changes, becoming a familiar tall Drow woman.

"Well?"

Myrynth asks,

What have you to report?

Knowledge Rolls for start of encounter.

Knowledge Nature for Tiger (1d20+11)[17]
Knowledge Nature for Locusts (1d20+11)[21]

[Rurik]

Don Lorenzo's head snaps up instantly taking in the brutal scene before him. He races the few step to reach the battle going on ahead of him, as he draws his rapier and mutters the word that sheaths the blade in flame. With a flash of flaming light Salvara strikes at the tiger.

Attack - (1d20+12)[28]
Damage - (1d6+5)[8] + (1d6)[6] burn damage (+1 burn damage next round from Phoenix Ash Threat)
