a meeting in the sands

[Jasmine]

Bip has scent. He'll sniff around while Dawn helps set up camp.

Take 10 on Perception for 31.

Sorry i have been away this weekend, ill tell the party what they have found when i get home tonight.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

your history will tell you these tribes were once allies, and form the look of it both sided leaders were not here to give orders, in history most clan leaders are in major battles and both are missing no bodies found of them.

11 survival will tell you they did not make camp here so this was the place of the main battle yet they did not spend a night here. They did not bring with them much food buts lots of water, most of it has spilled into the sands and dryed up. The food could not be easly eaten for most of it is rotten by this point, and sand on it does not taste good.

14 healing will tell you something odd, It was sharp claws and very large poison stab wounds but not in the shape of weapondry. It was these two things and only these two things that killed all of them you know its consistent with desert Scorpion Venom.

Just then Dawn gets a warning danger is in the sands for objects were moving under the sands and comming closer and closer to the party that was all looking over the area and bodies.

the sands are moving in an abnormal way.

So im not able to put up maps of the area so ill do my best to discribe the location

the river is to the west of the party as of right now its not that close by, the bodies were found in the west side sands of the river, but found just outside and around the shading area, the sand moving is comming form the north west, west and south west in what is called "pincer" formation.

since everyone did inspect the area, everyone is in that area a bit away from the river near the shade with the dead bodies scatared all over the sands and a bit in frount of them 60ft away, Out pops 3 black scorpions.

just to be clear they are Gargantuan sized.

please all roll Init. they did not beat perception of 31 party is not surprised.

Callo turned towards the new threat, wondering if the creatures were hunting or had been compelled to act and aware that she was not well prepared to deal with such threats without the use of magic - a fact that causes her to hesitate watching for others to act first.

[rhinobullet]

Korvac says "strange that two tribes would go to such great lengths over what appears to be a dispute over food and water, and it looks like a much bigger fight than a skirmish."

[harknail]

Nokomis answers, "They were killed by scorpions, most likely these."

She draws her scimitars and prepares to fight.

Init _lN3ort0p_1-20+3=141-20

[rhinobullet]

Korvac turns to face the Scorpions, and draws his Falchion and prepares to engage the large arachnids, gathering his rage and fury as he does.

I give people 3 days so 72 hours after i post its that persons turn, this is so combat does not get stagnet for a week or more.

[tag all to go before monsters]

[Jasmine]

Dawn hustles to the safety of her eidolon's side.

Ride: tJXgVUFXp_1-20+9=15

The angle of her approach makes it impractical to climb quickly into Bip's saddle this round, so she crouches behind him for cover instead, and readies an action to cast grease to trip up a scorpion if it approaches. Bip delays his action.1-20

Tag koravel

[insanit]

Koravel advances forwards 30' while drawing both of his thinblades and activating their enchantments. Prepared action to attack any scorpion that gets in melee range.

Tag nokomis and her brother. I have mm1. Just tell him what u want him to do or advise him.

[harknail]

Nokomis cries out to the dragons, "Take to the air! Stay out of reach of those tails!"

Nokomis then leaps into the air (thanks to her magic armor hidden under her robes) and lands at the base of the tail of one of the scorpions. She then tries to slice off the tail between two of the segments. She hope the scorpion can't reach that part of it's body.

Callo looks towards Nokomis and nods, a pair of great feathered wings sprouting from her back as she hops into the air, using her innate abilities to harden herself against attack.

Concentrating on the scorpion battling Nokomis Callo blasts it with a bolt of magical sound. Her magical follows the bolt down swirling around the scorpion to distract it.

She spares a glance for the newcomers, doubting they could escape as easily as Nokomis and herself.

Nokomis's attack glances off the hard shell, it did not even make a mark as it bounced off. The tail was just as amored as the rest of the body. It would take a better hit just to penitrate the outer shell. She does see however on its back and tail a symbol.
K( religion) to know what it is.
 The dragons took the air as told and go help Nokomis.
The blue dragon knew he had to aim well so not to hit her in cross fire. He flys 60 up and 60 over. and  his aim is stright down and a lightning blat flys out and strikes down in the well aimed spot.
The sand dragon will fly to the back of the one Nokomis is on and is 25ft a way from it. it lets out a scionic dust blast, and hits the underbelly.

( I take it callo does not need to roll to hit for that attack? what attack did you use by chance?)

The damage of the bolt hit hard into the creature, when it was hit, the party hears load hisses, but did little harm.  One thing the party did do, was piss it off a lot for now it looked angry if of course they could feel these things.

one took 78 damage but still after all that looks fine.
Nokomis is on the middle one currently, it made most logical to go for that one.

Sorry, attack roll attached. It's your standard garden variety sonic orb and a successful fort save also halves the damage.
