( aw you missed the chance of calling it Bruce or Wayne.. flappy is good too )

Flappy is not able to discern a hole lot. ( Hehe puns) It does give you tho the proximity of the holes and they are 45 feet deep that some come up from curves some curve back down. Yet the size is quite big ( for huge size creatures).

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

How does party wish to proceed?

[messiahmoose]

I think I need another explanation of our surroundings, like exits and such. What are our options? 

Flappy and I would like to inspect the holes for inhabitants.

( Yha i should do bit better and give a fuller discription.

I sort have forgot its a new location so ill update that ty 4 reminding me/asking 4 one. )

The tracks behind the party they just came from does seam to lead back the way you came.

The cave walls have ice on them yet its not so hardened that picks are able to cut into said cave wall this section looks like it was dug by hand and looks like it took quite a bit of time. This section of cave is 25 ft high and a single track not connected to the one the party was just one have a back stop/car starting placement ( prevents it rolling off track/back down track and to stop it if its at highspeeds and cant stop. ). The cave with is 20ft across with the track for going and oncomming traffic and the cave goes on for 80ft until it bends downward deeper into the cave.

What is odd is that simi used carts have been tiped over about 4 of them two to a side with large holes in bottoms of them alomst as if it got pierced into by somthing at a fast speed.

Along with big holes as discribed every 15 to 20 feet down this section of cave.

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

Let me know if discription changes winds reaction to anything.

[messiahmoose]

Yeah would like to inpect/cautiously lift one of the carts. 

[metalzoan]

Sven walks over as she notices wind beginning to inspect the carts. She doesn't know what this place is or what caused these holes but she wants to help in any way she can, but the way she does best and she will swing at whatever comes wine's way if it seems harmful. Sven doesn't want any harm to befall her new companions and will gladly put herself in harm's way before the rest.

"Wind, do you know what made these holes?"

As she spots flappy flying around she gives a little smile in the corner of her mouth. She has much respect for those in tune with nature such as Wind.

[mighty]

Varis continues on as best he can, head still spinning from the ride down. Hopefully it would clear up before the fighting began. As Sven and Wind head over to one of the carts, he walks over and glances down one of the holes. It did not appear to be natural, but he had little experience with underground life or what may be capable of creating such holes.

(perception check down one of the holes at disadvantage)

Let me know what sq u wish to be in given lots of carts and not shortage of holes to inspect. Wind and sven will be nexted 2 eachother.

Characters will be Italicized as not confuse on board map location boxes.

[mighty]

(I'll wait to see where Sven/Wind are, but I'd be looking down one of the closest big holes to their location)

[at]

Callo stands back finding a good firing position to cover her companions and as many of the holes as possible.

[messiahmoose]

Not sure, what do I make of the carts? Basically I am looking for something jumping out and eating my fave.

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

( Will do discrption early Saturday morning. Just wanted to make sure i got in all board positions for Pcs.)

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

Wind looks at the cart. Its quite a bloddie mess. There is no bodies found in the cart but lots of blood. The hole is a good size to where almost the hole bottom got riped/punctured. He does notice that its the work of razer sharp blades that did the puntures along with extream impact of force that destroyed the bottom of the cart. Bloddy drag marks lead to a nearby hole.


Menhile varis being adjacent to Al who was making sure he had back up. Both look down the hole.

Varis still in his haze hears clicking and slithering. Then he sees a greenish with purple body shoot/burrow up towards his face with all 4 mandibles and sharp beak ready to capture yet another morsel.


Callo has a ready action, Al did too. It makes sence that varis should have one sticking his head in a hole
Seven did if one got near her friends to harm.

Will update map. Then prepared actions.

So given party was taken caution with weapons out, gricks are not surprise attacking.

Varis and Al did see the one in his hole otherwise it would have gotten surprise.

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

Please do all held actions then also

Then Roll for Initiative.

[at]

With her shot lined up on the hole Varis was gazing into Callo fires as soon as she sees him pull back, the odd creature emerging directly into her magical attack with no time to dodge or prepare itself.

Unsure if I have an action or not. In case, I will emit a bestial hiss as my beak drips with fluid.

Despite his still spinning head, Varis sees the creature down the hole looking back up at him. Spinning his quarter staff around with both hands, he strikes out at the beast before it could attack him.

(Attack roll one at disadvantage)
