Dungeon Squad!

[F.L.]

grr, double post.

(I'll walk in front, I'm armored)

[Jolly Steve]

"All right...we have to hurry, it's getting dark."

You notice that it is, indeed, a lot darker. The noise from the forest has changed - a lot less birds, a lot more insects.

You set off along the path. It winds through the forest.

After a while, you hear heavy, padding noises, coming from behind you.

[jojobulu]

Sarah hides in the bushes at the edge of the trail and readies her bow.

[Viginti_tres]

I mimic Sarah's actions, however in the inverse bushes.

All to aware of the danger caused by, whatever those things are i am all to willing to let others do the fighting this time.

[Jolly Steve]

The elf and the other two women stop.

"what are you doing?"

[F.L.]

"It looks like they've heard something following us. I hear it too now." I'll stand behind the elf and the two women, in the thing that's following's path, as I'm armored.

[Jolly Steve]

thump, thump, thump, thump - the sound gets louder and louder.

Finally, around the corner comes a huge lizard, as big as a horse, with smoke coming from its nostrils.

[jojobulu]

Sarah takes careful aim, at the charging creature, with her bow. Sarah will fire into the creature's side as it passes her.

[Jolly Steve]

The lizard stops.

The elf raises her rapier.

The two humans seem to be preparing spells.

The lizard takes a breath, and shoots flame at Skvar.

Skvar steps out the way.

The bushes next to him start burning.

[F.L.]

"I hate to break it to you, little lizard, but today isn't your lucky day."

(Cast luck against the lizard's next action)

[Jolly Steve]

Skvar sings a short verse cursing the beast, but trails off as it's obviously not affected.

[Jolly Steve]

One of the wizards raises her hands, and Skvar's armour glows with eldritch light.

[jojobulu]

Sarah will fire at the lizard with her bow.

[Jolly Steve]

Sarah fires an arrow from her cover. It bounces harmlessly off the lizard's hide.

Enraged, the lizard breathes fire at the clump of bushes.

[F.L.]

Skvar's next available action will be to close with and attack the lizard with an unlit torch.

[Jolly Steve]

Skvar rushes at the beast and hits it with a torch. It seems to have no effect.

[jojobulu]

Sneaking along the tree line Sarah moves behind the fire breathing lizard and tries to attack it from behind. With her sword.

[Jolly Steve]

Sarah runs silently through the bushes. But so intent is she on the lizard that she trips over a treestump and falls on her face.

[jojobulu]

Sarah will get back up and try again.

[Jolly Steve]

The elvish swordswoman closes with the lizard, and stabs at it with her rapier. It sinks deep into the flesh of the beast.

[Jolly Steve]

The enraged animal bites into the glowing form of Skvar. His aura shatters into thousands of small pieces, which briefly scatter like a cloud of butterflies, then disappear.

[Viginti_tres]

After seeing Skvar so effortlessly struck down i decided to come out of hiding.

Walking towards the great beast i unleashed with all my strength a bolt of lightning.

Without pause i continued walking until i got to the side of Skvar,then i stopped to help him up.

[Jolly Steve]

A bolt of lightning arcs from Konsgiver's hand, into the lizard.

The lizard stares at him, as if surprised to meet something that could harm it, however slightly.

[jojobulu]

Back on her feet, Sarah will once again try to sneak up behind the lizard and attack it.

[Jolly Steve]

(OOC: Skvar, your 'move')

[Jolly Steve]

Skvar beats at the monster's head with a torch, to no apparent effect.

[Jolly Steve]

Sarah moves more carefully through the trees, ending up behind the monster.

[Jolly Steve]

A dagger flies from the bushes behind Konsgiver, narrowly missing both him and the lizard, and wedging itself into a tree.

[jojobulu]

Sarah quickly looks the beast over for a soft spot and attacks with her sword.

[Viginti_tres]

Distracted by the seemingly unbeatable creature in front of me i reacted way too slowly to doge the knife. Luckily it missed, but i realized that i might not be as blessed next time.

So i spun towards the bush's after again bolting the beast. It's monotonous but it seems to be the only thing that works.

As i inched towards the shrubbery i called out to Skvar and Sarah "I don't think that's working. We need to think of a good plan, if whatever is behind here isn't a friendly face then i think a good plan would be to run."

"Any Takers?"
