Expedition to the Craters.

"I'LL BE THERE SOON, JUST WAIT!" yells Taura at the other members, as she "runs" as fast as she can.

Keeping her eyes on the bushes and horizon, Labyrinthine nocks another arrow, and moves cautiously toward the fray, into a position to block the creatures escape. Rather than drawing her bow it appears as though she is preparing a spell of some sort.

It'd be good money they said, there's no way tinkerer's are as much trouble as people say they said, it's an easy job they said, there's no way anything could go wrong they said.

After a horrible crash and the sounds of what she could only guess to be giant insects devouring what was left of the crew. Nesta was crouching in a bush desperately trying to figure out a way to craft an escape ship. When her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice yelling "I'LL BE THERE SOON, JUST WAIT!"

Someone else had survived the crash! This would increase her chances of surviving exponentially. Checking to make sure giant fanged mushrooms weren't waiting in ambush, she pokes her head out and she's that a group of people seem to be running somewhere very desperately.

Nesta began to run towards the straggling half orc as quickly as she could. "What's going on?"

Spoiler: Perception because everyone else seems to be doing it

(you need to get due north or due south of Clumsy to use the 15 ft cone template on the right to avoid Mari and Clarity . That would put you in melee.)

Alia continues to sing, weaving the chant for a spell effortlessly into the music, leaving only a brief pause as she lets out another silent scream, before resuming.

Casting Ear-Piercing Scream again. Harmonic Spell means that since I cast, this round doesn't count towards my performance rounds per day.

Clumsy falls under the effects of the spell and Clarity's attack. He lies bleeding on the ground.

From the bushes 30 ft to the south the group surrounding Clumsy hear:

http://www.talkingwav.com/cartoon/cartoon_16.wav

Taura and the gnome notice another wererat creeping up on Durr and Alia from the north. He is crawling and 35 feet from them.

[ahyangyi]

Durr's star dust scatters and disappears, as the wererat fall onto the ground.

Durr spots the low crawling wererat (and can act).

Durr moves towards the hidden wererat. He chants some shamanistic incantation, and gestures wildly with his left hand. A light beam shoots from somewhere in his backpack to his hand, then scatters into a cone of dazing colors: Durr casts Color Spray on the wererat.

Clarity Clemens

Clarity nods in appreciation at Durr's use of Color Spray, which is a particularly lovely spell. "It reminds me of a Shelyn holy symbol," she comments quietly.

Still, there is a were rat to handle. "Disgraceful rodent! No longer will I tolerate your existence!"

The wererat is about 45 ft to the NE of Clarity.

[jakarta]

. The spell seems much brighter than usual and the light is 'echoed ' and reechoed in the air at random for what seems like a hundred yards in every direction.

It is answered by a hundred CHIRPs from the north...

[jakarta]

(1d20)[18]
The second wererat ignores the spell and stands as the palidine approaches to glaive range. Her angry blow missed. He us hit by a second color spray fom L and goes down. The palidin's angry blow hits the fallen thing....

(We'll fudge the distance a bit)

[Ahus]

As the first wererat falls Labyrinthine sighs, straightens her jacket, and begins to introduce herself. However, before she can get out a second word, she is alerted to the presence of another monster by the extraordinary flash of Durr's Color Spray.

Labyrinthine springs toward the second were-rat and hesitates to duplicate Durr's spell for a moment as the Chirps echo from the north, before concluding that whatever it was already had seen Durr's light and knew where they were. Reaching into a pouch on her belt, Labyrinthine draws forth a pinch of sand, which begins to sparkle in her hand as her magic flows into it. With a huff blows the sparkling sand onto the were-rat. As she does so it bursts into a display of Color Spray.

Mari watches as the Ratty creature in front of her is blasted by colourful magics before being skewered by the newly arrived paladin. She moves to thank her but the lady has already run off to deal with something else. Maris looks down at the creature before her. She still needed to recover her daggers. Mindful of the gnashing teeth she attempts to slit the throat of the creature and hasten its demise. She did not trust this creature as far as she could kick it, which is to say not far.

--------------

As Mari is retrieving her daggers a snapping crashing sound comes from the bushes west of her. She looks up in time to see a white haired wererat waddle out of the bush followed by a black wererat with long legs, a long neck and buck teeth.

The black one is faster and charges Mari.
Claw: (1d20+12)[29], dam (1d3+2)[5]
Mari's arm is slashed!

The white one stops 10 ft west of Mari. It looks hopping mad and is babbling incoherently.

Meanwhile at the top of the hill, a new fungus cricket plops out of the sky between Clarity and Durr (15 ft from each). Chirp...

[Ahus]

Labyrinthine breathes deeply as the three additional critters appear seemingly out of nowhere. With her arrow still nocked from earlier she draws and looses the arrow at the White were-rat,hoping to down it before it becomes a threat.

Her shot also goes wide. The Cricket tilts its head and waves its antenna in her direction.

[Carissacat]

Mari had just finished slicing the throat of the horrible rat creature and had made to retrieve her daggers when the next creature attacked. She had just about managed to get her arm up in time to defend her face, but the creature had slashed deeply into her arm. Mari isn't stupid and knows full well she can't take them on alone. Gathering up her daggers she retreats in the direction of the paladin from before and sees her fighting yet another creature
"Oh joy, more of these things" Mari thinks before calling out "There's two more after me help" as she sprints towards her.
(OOC I'm taking the withdraw full round action)

Mari starts to move away. (towards Durr's group or towards Clarity?)

Seeing now a group of people, Mari changes direction slightly to move towards them
