"She is right. Those who are greatly feared often forget the wisdom in fearing others. Those who are unbeated believe they will remain so. If she sees a challenge she believes is no threat to her, she will be overly confident."
"So we're going to lure her into a trap. The question is, what kind? A plain old ambush? Rocks falling down the mountain to crush her?Ayla looks up the mountain. "We need to think of something fast."
Ambush works fer me, he he. Yeah, gotta go with the flow though, see if we can find 'er first."
As the rest talk Selyne walks a fair distance away from them, then she turns and simply raises her right arm, the one about which her whip has been wound.
With no gesture nor motion the whip uncurls itself from about her body like a living thing, the handle twisting about to resting in her fist as the end reaches out and very lightly taps
(1=Dao, 2=Tsu, 3=Reonnyn, 4=Bo 5=Ayla)
Then coils back and wraps about her lithe frame.
"We lure her to the water. Creatures are far too busy struggling as they are pulled beneath its surface to usually effectively fight back. Such an action should work well as a distraction for every one else to attack in force while I effectively become a second distraction." Her words are delivered neutrally and calmly, there is a distinct lack of empathy for the potential murder the group is about to commit.
The length of whip could easily reach ten or fifteen feet. How many of the party now feel safer sleeping under Selyne's tree perches at night?

Aiiee, what the hell was that, it that a snake? Nahh it's just a whip, animated I guess.
As the whip snakes around, Reonnyn shifts slightly, allowing the whip to pass over his head, and gently touch the newly arrived druid. He thinks, He he, you lose.
"Ok, now that is settled, we need to still find her, and make sure if she's got buddies, they are otherwise occupied." He turns to Bo, "ok, since you're the expert, tell us, will she be alone?"
"She kills the world around her. That doesn't win her many friends, even amongst the darker people of this world. She'll be alone."
He glances around.
"Who is going to be where? We should have some one on each side of the river.. Hopefully she'll be to occupied with her 'prey' to notice those in hiding."
Reonnyn looks to the native Amazonian woman, with the exciteable whip, "Eh, there is a river around here, right?"

"Yes, over that way..." Selyne points.
He mutters, "Eh, showoff"
"So we have the prey and the trap, so all you need now is the predator. Tsu, if you would please go get our predator?"
Tsu nods, settles into Kiara's saddle, and leaves for the mountain. Bo wades into the river and dives under the water. A moment later, dirt and mud fly up to cloud the almost clear water, only to settle almost immediately. Bo resurfaces and grins.
"We've got a pit for her to fall into now, so she won't get out of the river easily when she figures out she's been tricked. Selyne, how many javelins do you think you'll need for the fight?"
"Eh, not to be a pest here, but one thing I learned in my...travels... he he, is that no plan survives contact with the enemy. So, what will we do when this plan dies?"
When o surfaces again,
"We've got a pit for her to fall into now, so she won't get out of the river easily when she figures out she's been tricked. Selyne, how many javelins do you think you'll need for the fight?"
Selyne frowns,
"I won't be using javelins. My hands will be full with entangling her with my whip. Plus, I can't use javelins in the water." She pulls her meager supply of such weaponry from her quiver.
"I offer my weapons for every one else to use." She says simply.
Eh, not to be a pest here, but one thing I learned in my...travels... he he, is that no plan survives contact with the enemy. So, what will we do when this plan dies?" The halfling asks
Selyne shrugs as she begins to wade into the water, "Then perhaps we die with it?"

Selyne shrugs as she begins to wade into the water, "Then perhaps we die with it?"
Yeah you go right ahead and die for the plan, myself I plan to live for a while longer, he he.
Reonnyn grabs one of the javelins and experiments with it, not having a missile weapon available (at least not one he wants to reveal yet, he he). He picks up 3 of them, and holsters them to his body. "Yeah this will do nicely." He says to Selyne, giving her a wink.

Selyne stops, her head and shoulders still briefly above the rivers' water, as she looks to Reonnyn.
"Uuuuh, isn't that a little big for you?" She asks looking puzzled as the Halfling stands brandishing the human sized weapons. Still, she simply shrugs and then disappears beneath the rivers' surface.

"Hit her unti she stops moving"
Under the water Selyne finds that the pit is 10ft deep and 15ft wide, despite the short amount of time it took to dig.
Ayla goes off to hide a fair distance away, careful not to go too far off...
From within the grasses along the river, Ayla calls: "I can see them, we have maybe a minute at most!"
Reonnyn finds a nice bush to hide in and readies an action to throw the javelin once the blighter chick gets grappled by Selyne and her magical appendages.
Selyne readies her whip and floats just under the surface with only hr eyes and top of her head visible, waiting for Tsu and her animal companion to ford the river (Or swim) so that she can strike out at their enemy.
Dao climbs a tree, choosing a high vantage point from which to strike.

With everyone in position, the plan starts off smothly. Tsu and Kiara get to the river bank and jump over, landing in the shallows on the other side. The blighter though, in a metal breastplate, is not as daring and casts a spell that sends a small ball of roaring flame at them, burning their backs.
Reonnyn, nicely hidden, shifts the oversized javelin, and hefts for a perfect throw. Got you now, you biotch.
Lurking
Striking when the bi-atch is within range of a grapple.
Caught off guard by Reonnyn's attack, the blighter doesn't notice Selyne's whip snaking out of the water until it's too late and she's wrapped in it. She struggled to get free, but can't.
With increadible skill Dao tumbles throught the trees flipping from branch to branch to launch herself into a magnificant leap at the grappled woman
Her saoring attack seems to ctch everything frozen in time a she decends both knees catching the Blighter in a brutal strike to the face.
Reonnyn stares at the leaping form of Dao with a mix of shock and excitement on his face, and watches it connect with the blighters face. Magnificent form! Glad that's not me, ouch, that looks like its gonna leave a mark, he he.
Figuring the girls have the blighter under control for now, he hefts another javelin and peers out into the undergrowth, making sure no one cathches them unawares.
Reonnyn, as he looks for other threats, bumps his head into a low covered branch.
Though her head flys back from Dao's attack, her eyes keep clear as she tries very hard to get out of the grip of Selyne's whip. She isn't helpless though, far from it in fact, since the ball of fire she toosed at Tsu comes crackling back at Dao.
Reflex save
As the strike hits home Dao's feet find purchase on the woman's chest, spinging off and launching herself into a backflip to adoind the incoming flames.
Selyne pulls upon the whip, willing the bonded magical item to constrict, to twist and contract. The better to drag the prey into the water.
As he turns to watch the battle in the river, Reonnyn bumps his head on that same branch. Crap, how did this branch get here?
Finally managing to break out of the whip's embrace as Dao dodges the fiery orb. Screeching her triumph she steps away to strike Dao with a dark, sickly green ray that seems to sap her will to fight away.
Reonnyn, not seeing any other threats out there , turns his attention back to the river fight. Man, wish I could get in there, sounds like a lot of fun. All those wet clothes...glistening with moisture...Oh wait, she broke free. OK let me be the one to save the day!
