This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The huge, hulking creature suddenly tumbles through the clouds and comes into full view as it tries to seize what looks like a human-sized mushroom shrieking a single high pitched note to the high heavens, the very same note you heard through the walls earlier.

The large creature must be some kind of reptile, or dragon, but it is unlike anything you have seen before or would have expected from the tales you heard as young lads. It is lean, and muscular. Four powerful legs, a spine made of dark, blade-like bone protruding from its body mass which, along with the patches of orange, light grey and black coloration of its scales gives it the appearance of a fearsome, aggressive creature. Two strong wing arms are visible on its back, but the wings themselves seem ridiculously small, atrophied, compared to the rest of its anatomy. But these arms also support two ten-foot long ivory tusks which act as balancing weights as the creature tries to get back on its feet.

From the other side of the clouds quickly dissipating in the distance, more creatures jump into view to harass the large reptile. These look like twisted semi-animal, semi-vegetal creatures, as if some crazed mind decided to mix the most beautiful of flowers with the ugliest amphibious being it could find to create these bloated, yet colourful things which are now jumping on the dragon’s spine as it attempts to get back on its feet, sending clouds of multicoloured spores into the air as they lash out on the reptile with the long, prehensile tongues or stems protruding from the center of their large petals.

You do not have much time to think as they all tumble once more in their struggle against each other and are projected into the air directly in your direction as they all step on the trap between the two large crystals!

At the very same moment, you can see through the clouds that you have yet more company coming your way. Judging by the very slow and hesitant motion of these humanoid creatures, these might be undead, though you cannot be sure.

DM: Roll for initiative. Declare your intents.

"Bring them to us!" Belak yells to Tudd and Runch as he prepares his crossbow to fire when an enemy comes into view.

Klob is alert and ready to fire his crossbow as well.  

============================

OOC:  Belak's Round 1 initiative check is a 5.

DM: Bad guys roll a 4. You guys are going first. I'm just waiting on Nimten/Runch's and Tudd's intents at this point. Othos will stay with the main group at this point, and Ludolf will shoot with his bow at one of the creatures in the air.

Runch is waiting with Tudd for the reptile to make it's move on the dias.Will engage as it climbs the steps and move to the W. side to draw it that way so the others can have a flanking volley or charge.

..."Whataya say brother, beyond our measure?"  as the adrenalin hits my system I can't help but grin as I indicate the reptile creature.

what sort of beings are those!? as I watch in morbid facination as the fungus being is destroyed!

If a gang of undead approaches I will most likely call on Charlathan and attempt a turning if I am free of the dragon creature!

Nimten stays as he is...

Tudd, dodging flying creatures, runs at the dragon with a roar and attempts to bring his morningstar down on it's head.

The large reptile and the strange amphibian orchids which were lashing at it a moment ago are all projected towards the dais and land very hard in Tudd and Runch's general vicinity.

Tudd rushes towards the large reptile. Roll d20 for attack.
Runch does the same from the West. Roll d20 for attack.

As far as the main group is concerned, the creatures just came into view by the dais area.

Belak and Klob are firing their crossbows. Roll for both.
Ulas Xegg was holding his action. Is he still doing so?
Ylarum, Json and Tarm run up a few paces to throw their spears at the reptile. Roll for them all.
Ludolf fires his bow. He misfires, and loses his action for next turn.

Erarht, Nimten and Othos are staying put. Nimten can hear some fists beating on the door to north. Given the damage it sustained some time ago as the fire within the room beyond was raging, it will give way, sooner or later.

Well, since the brothers are charging that dragon it's probably hostile now if it wasn't already. Given its size can Ulas shoot it without a risk of hitting Tudd or Runch?

Yes, especially since Tudd was already to the western side of the beast and Runch specified he would get away from your line of sight (Oh yes, the DM does pay attention to these sorts of things ;) ).
