Will glances down from the tree as he overhears them planning to execute the lizard man. He shrugs at the latter's zealotry and goes back to his watching.Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.

With one smooth motion, Belamros stabs the lizardfolk in the chest.

Damage is (1d8+4)[6]

The lizardfolk dies quickly, but not before coughing out one last curse. "May the Children of Rhashaak gnaw on your bones."

The changeling takes a few minutes to lay out the lizardman, closing his eyes and covering him with some large palm leaves. "Does anyone want to say any last words?"

Will climbs down out of the tree. He looks at where the dead lizardman lies. "We lived, you died. So far, I'm not impressed." He looks up at the others, "What next?"Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.

Speaking of that, did anyone bother to check the big lizard for valuables?"Last edited by thevorpalbunny; 2008-09-24 at 04:37 PM.

The changeling turns to Kabe, flashing him a smile. "Well I was hoping that someone checked him for weapons when we tied him up, and that search should haave turned up any valuables. If we didn't, then we should probably do so next time we tie someone up."

Pax points vaguely in the direction of the recently killed lizardfolk. "We did search the little one, but I think in our haste we neglected the bigger, second lizardfolk." He looks around at his companions. "Shall we move on, then?"

Re: Eyes of the Lich Queen IC (Take Two)
As you return towards the temple, you see that no one has yet touched the site of your battle. The shadowy flames have died out, leaving behind sections of jungle blackened and frosted, but the bodies still lie in pools of their own blood.
((If you want to search the blackscale, you find its greatclub, a javelin, a number of necklaces made from Eberron dragonshards, colorful feathers, and bits of jade carved into claws, and a hollow gourd filled with a thick green liquid.))
As you top a small rise, the jungle gives way to an open space dominated by a huge stone structure. The Temple of Kha'shazul is a mass of vine-choked granite walls and collums. Two stone domes mark either end of its oblong shape, and a columned portico justs out from the temple's entrance. Steam billows from somewhere within the temple, venting through high open windows twenty feet above the ground.
Before the temple are two circles of crude huts, one circle sized appropriately for blackscales, the other for much smaller creatures, like that Poison Dusk you captured.
The temple is currently on alert. Several pairs of blackscale warriors patrol around the temple at odd intervals while another pair stands guard at the temple's entrance. No other creatures can be seen, but given the way the Poison Dusk can camouflage themselves they could be in plain view and remain undetected.

"Well I'm sure I can manage some kind of distraction, do we want to draw them into some kind of ambush, or just split them up? Do we need to kill them all to grab the items or can we try some stealth?"

"I could try a bit of telepathic trickery to distract them. "This is your god. Your enemies are trying to attack you from the north!" (or any other direction but where we are) could be very effective."

"As I said, these people seem to be fairly religious. A telepathic message that seems to be from their god telling them that there are enemies to fight to the north may be heeded quite promptly. It could be as simple as "Defilers and invaders approach from the north!" Even if they don't all fall for it, it might narrow down the ranks."

"We may need some physical evidence to go with it. Perhaps sound off with those whistles we found, and maybe light a fire or something. Could we create a shadow."

"The fire would probably be the easiest option. How should we do this? Have most of us wait here while one goes, lights it, and circles back around?"
