Myr's Sword (Surraruthru)

[Yuthirin]

Let's roll, then. TO NIFFLERHEIM!

[Anastasia]

From here, it's a gate to the glooms. You stand in thick gray fog. Shadowy, obscured and withered trees are all around you. It's hot and humid, the mists clinging to you like a second skin. You're sweating the moment you step through.

Go ahead, y'all.

[Yuthirin]

"Bleh." Calleigh says, "Again. North, right?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Yes. And then north, and north."

Surraruthru takes to the air, gaining altitude and trying to get a scouting advantage.

[Anastasia]

"North, north, north. North until we see the fog no more," Vivantha softly sings, taking to wing and following Surraruthru. Ebony follows Calleigh, while Kascha lingers towards the rear.

The visibility's terrible with the fog. 100ft at most, often less. Everything's a thick mess of fog, hiding most everything. It'll be slow going for sure.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru keeps going with the group, slightly above them.

[Anastasia]

Okay then, moving you on.

> roll 1d100+20
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 103 > [d100=83]
> roll 1d100+20 subtables
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 23 > [d100=3]

You wander in fog for perhaps twenty minutes. The ground is pockmarked and broken, not a single blade of grass or living plant seen. You wander about it as...

Listen checks. If you have any special senses like blindsight or whatever, note them and the distance as well.

[Iron Dragoon]

> roll 1d20+31 Listen
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 41 > [d20=10]

I have Scent, I dunno if that counts. Darkvision, too.

[Yuthirin]

<DarthSquiddius> roll 1d20+24 Tryll Listen
<Serith> DarthSquiddius roll for Serith < 38 >12 [d20=14]
<DarthSquiddius> roll 1d20+15 Calleigh
<Serith> DarthSquiddius roll for Serith < 29 >12 [d20=14]

Tryll & Calleigh both have Darkvision 60 ft, no other detection abilities active. Keep in mind that Calleigh is granting everyone Magic Circle Against Evil at all times.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+30 Listen Vivantha
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 36 > [d20=6]
> roll 1d20+34 Listen Kascha
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 39 > [d20=5]
> roll 1d20+32 Listen Ebony
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 40 > [d20=8]

You can all hear it, loud thumps from the northwest. Something far ahead, making noise - no, lots of something. Sounds like grunts and pounding footsteps. At least 100ft away since that's where visibility fades out entirely, perhaps further.

[Yuthirin]

"Warband?" Calleigh mutters, "In Hades? Is that a thing?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru drops down to the others, speaking quietly.

"Our fight against Secretus is going to be a hard one. Should we try to avoid these... whatever they are? Or use the fog to launch an ambush?"

[Anastasia]

Vivantha lands as well, readying her crystal echoblade. Ebony steps back, words to a spell on her lips, while Kascha drops into a light stance with her sword. "Whichever we choose, we must be swift about it. They approach quickly."

"We should fight," Ebony murmurs, "We can retreat if it is troublesome and smite the unworthy."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods and readies his spells to buff the others as needed.

Planning to cast some pre-combat buffs here, but I don't know how much time I have. Should I just list all the ones I intend to cast, or just like one or two?

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh gives Ebony a tiny thumbs-up, cheerful grin a stark contrast to the gloom around them. "We're here to fight evil and stuff, so we might as well!"
