03/08/998: Late Morning, Ender's Run; near the Kraken's Hole Tavern.

Tate a.k.a. "Brick"

Without a word, Tate slides the sunrod back into his haversack, and backed into a wall. He tried to remain perfectly still and quiet...the armor plating wasn't helping.

Dice Roll: 1d20-5

Hide:
Dice Roll: 1d20-5
d20 Results: 14 (Total = 9)

When Tate douses his light and puts his back to the wall, two things happen simultaneously:

First, Tate realizes that it is pitch black and he can't see his hand in front of his face.

Second, there is a flurry of movement and loud whispers down the eastern tunnel.

"How long do we have left on these po- WHAT WAS THAT?"

"Shh... Hardec is signaling..."

Then relative silence, though it sounds like a couple of them couldn't be silent if they were wrapped in cotton batting standing still in a padded room. They don't sound like they're approaching.

Seconds pass...

The other side has acted for the round.

For this round only, you may act out of initiative order, seeing as there's only two of you, just to keep things moving.

1. x ???: rolled higher than you
2. Krellish: Dice Roll: 1d20+2 | d20 Results: 7 (Total = 9)
3. Tate: Dice Roll: 1d20 | d20 Results: 3

Note that, although the map shows the side tunnels, you cannot actually see down them (especially not Tate!) This is why there are no minis for the other side on the map. The tunnels are very similar throughout this section of the sewers, so you pretty much know what it looks like down there.

Krellish

Krellish places his hand on Tate's shoulder as he slips by, placing himself between him and the voices.

Move 10 feet forward. I don't know if it requires a second hide check to keep the same hide, but I know I need to move silently, so...

Tate a.k.a. "Brick"

Tate stays in place, waiting for a signal. He draws his weapon as slowly as he dares, and makes no other movement.

Tate uses a move action to draw his hammer.

A halfling pokes his head around the corner. Despite the darkness, he spots Krellish and Tate right away.

"Monsters!" he exclaims, firing his halfling sized bow at the half-scrag, but the arrow pings harmlessly off Krellish's armor.

You can easily hear the others moving up behind him, but no one comes around the corner yet.

It is too dark for lowlight vision, so he must have darkvision for some reason. Because of this, Krellish's hide does not work as he does not have cover.

The halfling is firing from around the corner, just sticking his head out to shoot. He has cover in his current position, but Krellish also has cover against him, which is a plus four to AC for both him and Krellish.

bow shot:
Dice Roll: 1d20+7
d20 Results: 8 (Total = 15)

Initiative is really easy to track for this one...

Them, Krellish, then Tate.

"Light it up!" says Krellish, "The can see anyways. Aaaaarrrr!" Krellish moves, a claw coming in low to strike the halfling.

I'm fairly certain you can't get an AoO with a bow, so yay for me.

"Pelor's holy light, monsters indeed!" exclaims a deep, masculine voice, which belongs to a large man in shining plate, wielding a longsword and carrying a shield emblazoned with a many-rayed sun. Behind him down the tunnel is a dwarf, also heavily armed and armored. There is someone behind him, but Krellish cannot see that far.

It is Tate's initiative; however, I failed to mention that because the walkway is only half the width of the tunnel, the squeeze rules apply if you are passing through each other's squares. This means that the occupied square takes 2 squares of movement. If Krellish wishes to amend his movement to M13 to give Tate room to move up, I'm cool with that.

Sure, works for me.

BTW, how deep is the water down here?

Krellish is at M13.

Krellish, the water is about waist deep. Actually, it's probably a little more, but for jumping out purposes treat it as waist deep. It is deep enough to swim in or to immerse yourself by ducking.

Tate a.k.a. "Brick"

Tate slid the sunrod back out, and sloshed up behind Krellish, calling out as he did so. "By the endless magic of Wee Jas, stand down, gentle peoples!"

He brandished the sunrod in one hand, maul clutched in the other, and sunk into a martial stance. He felt this wasn't a good start to their search.

Move Action to pull out the Sunrod, and move action to move to M10. He also uses a swift action to move into Iron Guard's Glare(ToB p.59) stance. Withholding maneuver accruement until combat begins with Tate.
