"These?" motions Tel to the bundle. " That damn Kobold tossed them to me after that last dinosaur tried to eat me." Your saying that these belong to your party?"
Tel pushes the bundle over to Toregan. " I have no need for them, obviously. Not my size" he adds matter-of-factly. Stoking the fire a little, Tel turns to Toregan. "So where are you headed. I was supposed to go to a trading post near by...at least until my guide up and got herself killed."

The halfling tells of how he came to be lost in the jungles of Cthonia, his wounds tell of how all has not been peaceful during his stay. Giant vermin, the kobolds, raptors and a multitude of other nasty creatures has pursued and occasionally caught Tel. Were it not for a certain black colored kobold, Tel would be dead several times over. At this point in the story, a dark small shape disengages from a near by tree, a black scaled kobold with a deep green colored fin from snout to tail. A sword at his side and recurved bow on his back and most importantly, a small Bundle made of leaves in an outstretched hand to Toregan
He closes several paces and stops. It is the same creature Tel knows and the same creature Toregan remembers from the cage as freeing them. The kobold stands motionless but very much at ease, arm extended with the leaf bundle.

Henrix likewise remains passed out-
"KOBOLD!" screeches Heckle from above. "KOBOLD! KOBOLD!"
Henrix makes several feeble attempts to stand and instead ends up half standing against a tree. Feverish and shaking, he readies an action to launch a telekinetic fist at any kobold who approaches him. [Attack = 4, damage = 1.]

Toregan shields the kobold from any attacks. "Wait! He helped us escape! He would not have done that if he was of that tribe." Turning to the kobold, Toregan does a quick bow to the kobold and accepts the leaves from him. He speaks in the common Woldian tongue and says, "Thank you for freeing us."
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 1/13 Tuesday December 13th, 2011 11:37:52 AM
Leonan wakes up again, forcing himself quickly to his feat and lifting up his shield.
There's a few uncomfortable moments where it's clear Leonan isn't sure what's going on, and looks like he might attack. But while he's too exhausted to tell for sure that the kobold isn't a threat, he's also too exhausted to charge him. And in a battle between exhaustion and exhaustion, there can only be one winner.
"Ask him to take us to the trading post. Tell him he can have my job if we all make it alive. He's obviously more qualified."
Leonan slumps back down onto his bedroll.

"He helped me too." added Tel, still stoking the fire. When he sees the camp calming down he slides his hand away from his sling staff. "I take it you are heading to the trading post, too. I'd be comfortable with our scaly friend escorting us...if he wants." Tel looks toward the kobold and winks. "He obviously knows the way better then we do."
A New Dawn Tuesday December 13th, 2011 9:15:27 PM
An alarm goes up, but is quickly quieted and the kobold makes no moves as the Raven squawks and then quiets down. When Toregan bows and takes the bundle, the black scaled kobold steps back a couple paces and regards the human with his head slowly leaing to his left as he does so. If he understands the ranger is hard to tell, the kobold makes no sign it. His black tongue flicks out, much like a snake and he rights his head with a quick look to the others about the fire. Tel speaks, conveying to Toregan how he had also been assisted quite unexpectly by the kobold and again the kobold makes no sign of acknowledgment or understanding.
With a last partial side long look at Toregan, the kobold retreats a few paces and then darts into the black quickly vanishing from sight.
Within the bundle are 12 small gourds with a wooden peg stopper. Each only slightly larger yet lighter than a potion vial from the city. No lables exist on any and the scent of each is identical, a light honey with perhaps hint of underlying rose.
The fire creackles on and morning arrives. Still and sore but much better than before the pary rouses in the early moring rays streaming through the dense canopy.

Toregan wakes up with the dawn, grateful for at least one night of restful sleep. Having his bow on his person again felt great. after all, it was one of his only reminders of home he had. Getting up and doing a quick scout about, Toregan locates the mesa, which is about 1 full day through the Cthonian jungles. Returning to the group Toregan decides to try and determine what the properties of the liquid in the gourds has through his knowledge of nature and the liquids taste. After that, assuming the gourds are filled with a non-harmful substance, He divides the gourds up and gives 2 to each person. If the gourds turn out to heal us, Toregan will give up both of his to heal the elf we saved and Artrius. He'll then break camp and start the hike to the CTP, not dropping his guard once.

Meranus wakes up with a sort, and stands and stretches. He hasn't been this sore since he was first learning how to fight on the Isle. With an absent look on his face, he slings the ranger of his shoulder and follows Toregan.
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 2/13 Wednesday December 14th, 2011 11:30:34 PM
Leonan gears up and moves out with the rest of the party in the morning. He doesn't have much to say about the mystery visitor and his mysterious gourds, but if asked, he will relay his hopes that he'll be able to sell whatever strange brew they contain for the cost of passage to get out of this godsforsaken hellhole and back to the docks at the floating city where he can rent out his body for spare copper pieces.
Because that would be a hell of a lot nicer than being anywhere near this place.
Also, he asks if his sword found its way into that bundle as well, or if it was just his heavy wooden shield that had been recovered.

Henrix takes the gourds offered to him and inspects them carefully before stowing them into his robes. He follows the group silent as ever. Still bruised and aching, he surreptitiously inspects the newcomer, slightly suspicious. Heckle follows from high above, flitting from one tree to the next.

Toregan is able to determine the gourds contain some sort of healing liquid. He gives some to Artrius, whose eyes flutter open for the first time in days shortly after the honey liquid moves down his throat. Still quite wounded and sore, Artrius inquires about the current status of the group and the groups current location. Artrius remembers some of what happened, but can offer no reason or historic context of such a thing having ever happened before. "The Teucri devices in Floating City and elsewhere are very powerful, I am at a lost as to what other power could cause such a malfunction." Artrius will test he new found strength by slowly getting to his feet. His knees buckle and he groans with new found pain, but he does eventually gain a standing position. Artrius holds up a hand and deflects any additional effort at using another gourd. "I am well enough to walk, but could not assist in our defence even at full strength. You all look to have been on the recieving end of much and are far more skilled than I. My survival continues to be in your hands. the healthier those hands are, the better." he adds the last bit with a wink and easy smile, though it is cut short by a cough and another wave of pain.
The elf also regains consciousness upon recieving the drought. He does not speak, but simply, slowly gets to his own feet. His face is a blank expression and he appears simply ready to be lead where ever the group chooses to lead him.
ooc all previously lost equipment was in the bundle, so any weapon or other item in anyone's hand that was dropped at the ambush is yours once again the gourds each contain a CLW potion cast at 3rd level thus bestowing 1d8+3

Leonan doesn't seem much better off than the zombie-like elf. Only the hope of getting back to civilization keeps Leonan going at this point, and if that were to be lost, his sanity would be sure to follow.
In other words, Leonan appears simply ready to be lead where ever the group chooses to lead him.

Tel leaves the potions to those that need them most and tags along as the party starts to move. "Not to be pessimistic, I mean after seeing the condition you all were in." he hesitates as he scans the canopy as if hearing something, before continuing. "Do any of you know where we are going?"

Toregan is significantly relieved when he sees the potions take effect and Artrius wakes. He Seems to be in fine spirits for the rest of the time he spends packing his gear. He leads the group out of the camp in a short time, Keeping his eye on Artrius' condition, as well as the condition of the elf they rescued. Not one to pass up a much needed recoup, Toregan does accept one of Tel's potions and drinks it, feeling much of his strength return. "I would advise everyone to drink at least one gourd before we continue. If we get attacked, we should at least be prepared to fight back." As Tel voices his trepidation at whether or not the group is going the correct way, Toregan simply tries to dismiss the halfling's worry. "Don't worry. I've got the location locked in my head. I did a bit of scouting earlier."

(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 12/13 d8+3=10 ; Monday December 19th, 2011 12:39:05 AM
Leonan drinks one gourd under Toregan's direction, leaving him with one remaining. He then just lingers around listlessly until the party continues to their destination. He's trying not to relieve the horrors that have befallen them since the teleportal "malfunction", but the glassy far away stare reveals that the horrors still haunt him.
The Cthonia Jungle d8+3=4 ; Monday December 19th, 2011 9:28:13 AM
Under Toregan's direction, the group continues towards the mesa. Leonan drains one of the gourds and the physical benefits are impressive. However some wounds and the means of defeat are not physical and not so easily healed. The former squire falls in line plodding along, not even bothering to swat at the insects about his ears and neck any longer.
Toregan takes one of the potions offered by the newcomer Tel, and vitality and renewed vigor surge through him as well. With renew strength the ranger leads on. He advises the others drink at least one ofthe gourds
Tel asks about a quick map, his last guide to the mesa died and well it would be nice to know where the mesa is relative to their current location. Toregan can easily direct Tel and point out a glimpse of the mesa in question early on in the hike.
With no one else interested in the healing liquids of the gourds, Artrius drains the other that Tel declined. "Praise Alemi, that feels better." While still covered in bruises, the Wayfarer spirits and movements are certainly much improved.
Meranus asks for and is given the large staff like stick he was carrying
The elf falls in line behind Henrix. he steps plodding, yet purposeful. His gaze glassed over in much the same way as Leonan. Like the former squire, it is almost as if he is not even aware of his surroundings.
The group marches, hours pass, the heat and humidity rise and in the early afternoon a torrent of water spills from the skies above. Visibility drops to a few mere feet and it becomes necessary to shout in order to be heard

With the coming of the rain, Henrix pulls out one of his gourds and clumsily drinks it, spilling a few precious drops into the grass and weakening its effect (4 points of healing). His groan is drowned out by the sound of the rain and the sloshing of his mud-soaked shoes as he plods on behind the person in front of him. He has long since given up on his liberal use of cantrips to clean his clothing and has resigned himself to the muck.
Heckle swoops down and maneuvers himself into the folds of the wizard's cloak, where he can remain warm. Fortunately, nothing can be seen nor heard from the annoying creature except for the occasional beady eye peeking out of the cloak.
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 12/13 Tuesday December 20th, 2011 10:34:10 AM
Leonan mentally takes inventory of their options.
1) Wander Aimlessly Through the Jungle 2) Stop and Let the Jungle Take Them 3) Head for the Mesa
As much as Leonan would like to just give up, it seems that Toregan has enough survival instinct to keep them moving. As the plod through the jungle, Leonan goes over recent events.
Was persuaded into accepting an insulting business deal. Got beaten nearly to death by gangsters. Nearly died in a magical disaster. Ended up lost in a murderous sentient jungle. Nearly eaten by prehistoric vermin. Overwhelmed by alchemical weapon wielding stealth-monk midget lizard folk. Woke up in a cage with two half-eaten fellow prisoners. Couldn't take both the prisoners -- had to murder one in cold blood to keep him from suffering more. Was "rescued" by a stealth-monk midget lizard man with different colored scales. Bumped into a halfling who seems even more clueless than the rest of them. Caught in a rain storm.
Well, at least this rain storm seems to be the least of their worries, all things considered. Leonan keeps his feet moving by focusing on getting out of the jungle and putting this whole "adventuring career" behind him once and for all.

Tel acknowledged the short glimpse of the plateau as they traveled, twirling his sling staff as they went. When the rain started he let out a short, but vehement halfling curse as he pulled his traveling cloak tighter around him. Trudging along he took note of his fellow travelers and shook his head, wondering exactly what the fates had thrown him into..

Toregan urges the party forward and manages to keep them together. The rain has seased from its initial rate to a steady hard warm rain. Visibility extends to about 60 feet though the banging of water off broad leaves makes shouting still a neccessity. What appears to be an easier trail opens to the left, but the ranger keeps to the more difficult terrain and pushes even further right with the group. The mesa was not far and the group was moving slightly uphill, two maybe three more hours at this snails pace in the rain. "Should we not take what seems like a trail just over there!" Artrius shouts over the thundering rain. In the moments it takes the sound to reach Toregan and for him to turn to answer, the jungle of Cthonia supplies it better than anything he could have said.
A flash flood rips down the 'trail', an instant literal river Another appears further to right making the party travelling on the only real safe section of jungle floor.

Henrix is busy comforting himself with thoughts about the thermodynamic nature of the universe and its interaction with magic when Artrius's shout pierces his concentration. He yawns hugely as Toregan is quickly proven to have chosen the correct path, then continues to plod on, following the ranger and noting with a combination of elation and dread that they are beginning to go uphill. Heckle is visible on occasion, poking his petulant beak from beneath the folds of the wizard's cloak.

Leonan places one of his boots forward, then shifts his weight in that direction, lifting his rearward boot and placing that forward. Repeat.
He has no idea what Tel is talking about, but doesn't think it really matters. "That might be trouble" is pretty much a good description of the WHOLE JUNGLE.

The party keeps moving with Tel spotting the bird creatures and givin his travelling companions a heads up on them. Meranus heads over to the fast moving stream with the intent of filling his water skin. The saturated ground near the fast water is far softer than the harder ground Toregan had been leading them along and Meranus's adds nearly 2000 pounds more weight than the ground can take. The ground gives away and falls into the raging torrent. Luckily the stream is not very large, about 4' across and perhaps 3' deep. Still it is a great deal of water and moving very fast.

Meranus hits the water as Tel informs the group that the creatures he saw, the three nasty meat eating dinosaurs he saw are Velociraptors. Known for cunning, pack style hunting and gneral deadliness.
Most in the party have no hope in helping the large minotaur and they do what they can. Yngvar reaches out with one of the bamboo poles from a prone position while Leonan and Toregan leap into the fast moving water. Henrix begins looking about through the continuing rain for Tel's deadly dinosaurs.
Meranus struggles as does the pair of heroes in the fast moving water with him. While all three have managed to keep thier feet and get near the soft mud drop into the channel, all are having difficulty getting anyone out.

The Cthonia Jungle Wednesday December 28th, 2011 8:30:10 AM
The group manages to get Meranus out of the water. The rain continues and after a short breather, the party makes ready to head towards the mesa. Toregan assumes is position in the lead and the party falls in behind him. Artius shakes his head slightly, but keeps any verbal comments to himself and with a sweep of his hand over his head he readies to lead the elf. A few quite stesps into the renewed journey and Artius speaks up, "Does anyone have a spare weapon. A hammer, or short sword or something i could borrow. I mentioned earlier that I am no warrior, but I do think now I would like to have one."
(Derek) Tel Longstride AC 19/14/14 -- CMD 15 -- HP 7/11 Wednesday December 28th, 2011 12:59:23 PM
I have an extra Short sword... would be little more of a dagger to a Bigg." interjects Tel as he continues to scan the surrounding jungle. "reaching in to his backpack he withdraws an exquisite halfling sized short sword. Turning to Artius. "It's better than nothing." he adds
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 8/11 d20+5=11 ; Wednesday December 28th, 2011 1:41:18 PM
Keeping an eye on the surrounding area, Toregan takes out a black dagger and his handaxe. "I've got a dagger or a handaxe you could use. if you'd like. Now Tel, you said that you saw some beasts near us? Velociraptors, right? Just how smart are they? Could they set up an ambush?"
Perception (+5): 11
[DM interjection: Tel answers in the affirmative. The creatures are smart enough to use such tactics]

Henrix Know: Nature (for the velociraptors): 21 Heckle aids another with a 13, bringing Henrix's roll to a 23
Henrix snaps back to reality and shakes himself, shuddering in the cold. He and his raven whisper to each other, quietly discussing what they know of velociraptors. If they know anything more than Tel, Heckle will announce the knowledge to the party, likely in a humorous or obnoxious fashion. The pair will then continue to follow the group silently, careful to keep at least one other person between them and the jungle in all directions.
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 2/15 (1 subdual) Wednesday December 28th, 2011 9:12:39 PM
As he shakes himself dry, Meranus sneers at the ranger. "Your gods gave you two fine arms and two fine legs, even if they are a bit on the small side. Don't debase yourself with those...instruments."
The Cthonia Jungle Thursday December 29th, 2011 6:21:00 PM
Tel and Henrix can and do both confirm that Raptors such as the ones spotted moving along the party's right flank and now lie ahead of them, do indeed use such tactics as ambushes. The group stands about. Artrius accepts the handaxe from Toregan and thanks him as well as Tel for the offered weapon. He takes a few measured swings with it to get a feel of the weapon in his hand when he arches an eyebrow at the minotaur and his voice takes on a bit of an edge and he snaps back at Meranus.
"Yes, Domi did indeed, but he also saw fit to give me a brain. The dinosaurs looking to eat us have talons and teeth and only a fool would purposefully enter a fight less armed than his opponent. I am no fool." Looking a bit annoyed, Artrius turns to Toregan, who seems to be the leader of the party and traises his hands slightly to either side. "So what is the plan? Tell me you have something in mind beyond fleeing as they eat the minotaur and gnome?"
The rain continues, the jungle is relatively quite saved the gentle warm rain on great broad leaves and the fast moving stream on either side of the party about 20' each direction. The velociraptors are nowhere to be seen or heard.
The elf still merely stands with a vacant stare and a body that looks as if a strong wind would be the end of him.
(Derek) Tel Longstride AC 19/14/14 -- CMD 15 -- HP 7/11 Thursday December 29th, 2011 10:20:17 PM
Tel started to say something to the huge Minotaur, but stopped as Artrius chimed in.
"Either way, we need to be ready." added Tel. "How far are we from the Plateau?
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 12/13 Friday December 30th, 2011 2:10:06 AM
Leonan doesn't bother drying off, the rain soaked him to the bone long before he jumped into the water. He spends a moment acquiring his shield back from Henrix, and slings it, drawing his sword next.
Leonan examines the tactical situation for a moment. Then he shrugs a bit.
"I'll be protecting the elf -- I have a feeling they're here for him. He's walking wounded, and they're hungry for what they think is going to be an easy snack. We didn't rescue him from those gods forsaken cannibals to have him eaten alive by a pack of lizard-birds. Over my dead body."
Leonan stays near the elf, trying to keep himself between the elf and any potential danger that they spot.
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 2/15 (1 subdual) Friday December 30th, 2011 3:38:49 AM "If you were using that brain, little man, you would be finding a way around the ambush. Those beasts are mindless and incapable of honor; their challenge needs not be met. If they're on our path, let's change the path."
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 8/11 Friday December 30th, 2011 12:17:19 PM
Toregan looks around for any possible route, but sees none, barring the rushing streams beside them and the obvious ambush ahead of them. "Well our plan has always been to get to the CTP. We've just been delayed. Should only be a few more hours till we get there." Turning to Meranus he shakes his head slightly. "Unfortunately, that is the only path unless we are to risk the rivers. It also means that the path clears up ahead. And beasts are never mindless. The fact that these ones are that intelligent," Toregan lets a grin break through on his face, "That is the very reason I came to this place. Now, I could try to appease them. I know a few tricks on how to deal with animals or I could just shoot them from over here and we will avoid an ambush. Thoughts?" As he talks he takes out his bow and nocks an arrow, .
(Derek) Tel Longstride AC 19/14/14 -- CMD 15 -- HP 7/11 Friday December 30th, 2011 1:12:43 PM
"You think that about these dinosaurs you end up being a mid day meal." interjects Tel to no one inparticular. "Toregan, you are taking point, right?" he adds, tightening his grip on his sling staff.
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 16/12/14 -- CMD 11 -- HP 6/10 Friday December 30th, 2011 10:00:20 PM
Henrix listens to the conversation intently, terrified of the beasts but careful to remain relatively expressionless. He whispers a word to Heckle, who stretches briefly before taking wing and heading for the canopy, grumbling halfheartedly about rain. There, Heckle will follow the group from overhead and try to keep a lookout for the raptors. [Feel free to roll Perceptions for Heckle at +6 and for Henrix at +5.] Then the wizard draws a thin piece of cured leather from a hidden pouch and utters an incantation, casting Mage Armor on himself.
The Cthonia Jungle d20+5=11 ; Sunday January 1st, 2012 10:49:07 AM
Artrius looks up and down Meranus, "You're walking dead with a healing salve and I'm the one not using my brain." Artrius holds his hand out to Meranus, "If you're not using them hand them over and I will, or least give them to the elf there."
With the thought and assumption of an ambush imminent, the group pauses to consider thier options. Try an corss one of the fast moving streams and hope to avoid the ambush ahead or move into it knowing it is there and hopefully being able to spring it without being caught in it.
Heckle takes to the air as Henrix casts Mage Armor. Aside from the jungle and rain Heckle does not see any signs of the carnivours.
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 12/15 d8+3=10 ; Sunday January 1st, 2012 9:56:00 PM "Healing salve... What are you.... What, these vials of liquid? They're salves, that you drink? Really?" The minotaur looks at one in his hand dubiously, then shrugs, pops the cap, and downs it. Meranus licks his lips and then looks at his body in surprise. "Oh! Yes! I've read about this. It's what you short ones call...liquid courage, yes? It's actually somewhat remarkable..."

Toregan then cautiously makes his way up the path, bow at the ready, being sure to take in all the details of the jungle that he can.
Perception (+5): 18 If this actually is going up against an ambush of raptors, then add +2 to that roll from my Favored Enemy bonus. Also Josh, that post is exactly what I would expect from Meranus. It made me lol.
The Cthonia Jungle d20+12=24 ; Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 10:04:27 AM
Artrius looks a bit quizzical at Meranus's comment as if he is not understanding the minotaur. He opens his mouth a couple times, but words fail to come out. Finally he simply shakes his head and nods towards Toregan to continue on. Leonan stays in close guard to the elf with Artrius taking up a position a few paces back from there. Henrix has the rear.
With much of the group silent, the travails of the past few days possibly more than could be born weighing on them, Toregan takes point and moves slowly forward, Meranus directly behind him. Heckle remains aloft, flitting from branch to branch in the lowest part of the canopy about 70' overhead.
Toregan leads the group about 150' further down the trail, the rain has all but stopped, but the twin fast moving streams are still quite full. Ahead, about 40', a piece of something catches the hunters eye. In dark recesses of a monkeypod tree, a darker shadow shifts. Peering out over a thick root is a raptor. It regards the ranger for the breifest of moments and then its beak dips several times. Once, twice, seven times in all. The Raptor emits seven high toned chirps as it leaps from its hiding place and moves away from the group, further down the trail and out of sight.
The entire party gets a good view of the raptor as it flees, It is about the sized of a halfling with feathers about the head and its arms. The rest is covered in green and brown speckled scales. Even when the raptor moves, it is very difficult to follow. That Toregan noticed it in the first place is a miracle.
The jungle is quiet, the party stands in a single file line. Toregan, Meranus, Tel, Leonan, the elf, Artrius and Henrix. 20' to either side is a fast moving 4-5 foot wide stream. 40' ahead and to the right by the stream, is a large monkeypod tree where the raptor emerged. The root system of the tree is 15' across.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 8/11 d20+5=8 ; Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 10:15:10 AM
Toregan watches confusedly as the creature was seeming bobbing its head like an idiot until the same number of screeches came after. "I think it just counted how many of us there. And then told the rest of its pack. Which could mean they won't try anything, but I doubt it. Keep your eyes peeled." Toregan continues to move forward, continuing his ever present vigilance against any hidden threats. Perception (+5): 8
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 12/13 d20=18 ; Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 12:02:26 PM

Henrix is visibly shaken by the incident with the raptor. He has plenty of experience with books... and even city streets... but the jungle is another thing altogether. Practical field experience is always superior to theory, he tells himself, closing his eyes for a moment and taking a few calming breaths. He quickly regains his composure and huddles as close as he can to the next person in line (which happens to be Artrius) as the group continues. Meanwhile, Heckle continues following from above, though he is distracted by a tiny flying colorful insect...
[Both got Perception = 8.]

The group continues forward and with each shaking step in front of him, Henrix can see that Artrius is expecting is die horribly at any moment. Mumbling to himself about dinosaurs that count and how in the shadow realm he ended up in such a predicament. Over 100 trips to the Post and now this, to be eaten alive. The group files past the tree, and as the seventh member passes, the raptors strike.
The first comes from the roots and dark are of the monkeypod tree. It leaps at the screaming Artirus. But miraculously as the man flails the hand axe before him, the creature misses with its talons.
The second lunges from a concealing tree nearly 60' in front of Toregan. It charges closing rapidly, leaping the last 5' into him. Razor sharp talons, teeth and claws tear at Toregan. [Hit AC 9/23/18/12/6 2 hits Dmg 7
Artrius swings the hand axe as he backs away screaming for his life. The axe passes harmlessly past the Raptor

Toregan nearly passes out from the pain, but keeps on his feet determined to kill these stalking beasts and to finnally get to their destination. Taking a few steps back, Toregan aims an arrow at the raptor, but his pain caused him to overlook a root sticking out of the ground, which he promptly stumbles over, making his shot go wide. 5 ft step away from the raptor Attack (+5+2 from favored enemy): 8 (Nat 1)
The dice roller seems to love giving Toregan ones. always at 1 health, starting to get more 1s on d20s...... not looking so good.

Leonan moves to engage the one near Artrius. He shouts sharply to the Elf. "Stay close!"
He strikes with his sword, using his combat expertise to remain an evasive target in case any other monsters try to get a piece of him.
(Combat Expertise gives +1 additional dodge bonus to AC for a total of 22) (20 to hit. 10 damage)

Meranus spins around Toregan and the attacker, looking for the best possible angle to get the lizard's attention. The minotaur drives a horn at the beast's back, between its thighs (Attack 19), as he roars, "RUN!"
(just realized Toregan isn't providing flanking anymore. So -2 to the hit mod and no D6 damage, dammit)
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 12/15 Wednesday January 4th, 2012 10:56:07 PM (For 10 damage. It would help to mention that.) >_<

OOC: I had posted that Tel was moving to the rear of the line. Did this happen before the movement?
Tel whirls his staff which gives off a strange keen as he lets loose a bullet at the raptor attacking Artius.
(Sling Staff. +6 WOOHOO! 20! 4 dam X3 12 damage!)
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 12 -- HP 2/8 Thursday January 5th, 2012 12:02:57 PM
Belatedly noticing that Meranus is no longer in front of him, Yngvar looks about and seeing they are under yet another attack, he casts mage armor on himself and heads for the roots of the tree.

Henrix circles around Leonan to keep the raptor at a distance. Then, for the second time during this jungle adventure, he utters a word and gestures powerfully, white light streaming from his fingertips. He reaches forward and softly taps the hilt of Leonan's sword, which shimmers briefly.
Meanwhile, Heckle gives a belated warning squawk from high above. His beady eyes scan the foliage for more enemies.
[Henrix takes a 5-foot step to L8 and then casts Magic Weapon on Leonan's longsword, granting him a +1 to attack and damage. Not sure if there's some kind of touch attack Henrix needs to make - if so, use the 17.
Henrix Perception = 8 and Heckle 20.
Do the raptors have reach? Does Henrix's casting provoke an AoO? If so, Henrix will not cast defensively, but if he takes damage his concentration check result is a 21 to maintain the spell.]

Toregan steps ack and lets fly with an arrow, but the shot is too hurried and flies high. Meranus thrusts forward, goring the raptor with his horns causing the raptor to squawk angrily. Leonan moves to Artrius' aid and stabs the other Raptor Yngvar moves to find cover by the tree and casts a spell of protection Henrix casts a spell to enhance Leonan's blade and is able to touch the blade bestowing the magic Artrius misses with the hand axe Tel hurls a sling stone from his staff into the raptor on Artrius as well The elf looks about him but remains where he is for now.
The Raptor near Toregan gives a squawk and bobs its head and gives a loud call out to the right before darting in and trying to finish the ranger. The talons from the small raptor tear through Toregans thighs and it literally seems to climb the human and bite him across the shoulder. [Attack AC 17/15/20/4/3/ Dmg 10]
The other Raptor calls out in a high pitched shrill steps back from Leonan and continues to go after Artrius. Blood sprays from the panicked Wayfarer from multiple wounds as he cries out.
Artirius swings back the axe catching the raptor and grazing its chest. the Wayfarer then moves back hoping to get away from the thing.

Toregans, unable to avoid the raptor's onslaught, has his flesh torn asunder. He falls to the ground, his bleeding somewhat restrained by his armor.

Leonan steps up to the raptor (5' step to L10), his sword now humming with ULTIMATE POWER.
"Thanks, Henrix."
He thrusts his shield forward just a bit, angled downward as he carefully weaves the blade around it -- a moderately artful display of combat prowess as he fights the diminutive but deceptively dangerous dinosaur.

Henrix silently acknowledges Leonan's thanks, wincing at the sound of rending flesh and the heavy squelch of Toregan landing in the mud. He turns from the squire and focuses his anger against the raptor who has just torn apart the de facto party leader... and misses horribly, overcompensating for Meranus as his mental attack harmlessly strikes a nearby tree.
[Henrix uses Telekinetic Fist against R1 (the one that attacked Toregan) and hits AC 0 for 4 damage. No movement.]
