Above you comes the sound of something sliding through the trees. As the sound comes closer, a cloaked halfling runs past you, a frightened look on his face.
Attack, First attack: , damage
Attack Second attack: , damage
As the halfing flees past him, bin Asad spins and gestures above him, fingers stretching, ready to cast a spell or dive to his belt to draw his kukri. He shouts, "Hey!" to the pursued little man.
Selyne slips through the jungle foliage as quietly as she can as she runs.
Another lizard is wounded by your blade, and it tries to run away as the others snap at you again. Only one manages to get any sort of hold on you, and yet again the teeth slide off of you.
Above you, high in the trees, slides a strange winged serpent. The trees are too close together for it to fly, but that doesn't seem to be slowing it down.
"Oh s$~#!" Heydar exclaims as he extends his hands, which are wriggling in the intricate patterns necessary for his evocation. He mumbles a few unintelligible words and a ray of fire screams out of his hands towards the pursuing serpent.
Attack:
Damage:
The serpent screeches in pain as the ray of fire catches it in the side. It glares down at Heydar, and it almost looks like it's smiling at him. It slides along the branches, chasing the halfling.
You manage to to pierce the hide of another one, drawing a copius amount of blood from the big lizard.
Closing in on the site of the commotion, you manage to see what looks like a halfling fighting several lizards as large as himself. Two already lay on the ground dead, and one has just been wounded badly. The halfling himslef is covered in something clear and green.
"Hey! It's a properly sized person! And they're playing with lizards! I want to play, too!"
Cast Magic Missile: at one of the living lizards
In a flash of movenent Dao races across the intervening distance, Launching herself into a leap that brings her knee brutally forward into the head of one of the other lizards.
Interesting. Well......and he takes off after the halfling and the snake.
Selyn's actions are simple and direct,
Oh look at that, the cavalry is here! Pretty good news, i'd say. Especially the babes, he he. Too bad they aren't a little...is that a halfling??? Wonder what he got sent here before, man, I don't like the look in his eyes, it reminds me of...of me!
Surprised, the lizard can't dodge Dao's attack, and it falls limpy to the ground from the force of the knee connecting with it's head. Alas, Selyne isn't as lucky, and her javelin mearly bounces of a lizard's scaled leg. Jimpy's magic is another matter though, as he manages to drop one before it even saw the light flying at it.
Startled by the new arrivals, the two remaining lizards start making strange squawking sounds. Four more lizards, slightly larger and older looking come out of the undergrowth and attack. None of them manage to cause any injuries though.
Your spell bites into the serpent, but it only hisses in pain and keeps going. What is strange though, is that the spell didn't seem to hurt it as much as it should have...
Frowning at her rather laughable throw at what she hopes is the awaiting dinner, Selyne flexes her arm, causing her whip to unwind and swing free.
Aww crap, they got older brothers and or sisters. Hmm can't tell'em apart, and don't really wanna try. Well, gotta fool these patsies into thinkin' I'm a rogue, cause everyone loves a rogue, he he.
"Hey, let me flank with you, then I can hamstring these lizards!
Attack #1 , damage
Critical damage add
Attack #2(if possible) , damage
Siing the man they are rescuing handle one of the beasts effectively, Dao turns to another striking out with an elbow/kick combination that drives the creature back with a force surprising from one her size.
As the blows land her voice rings out, "Inexorible progress of dawn!"
Seeing that the lizard creature doesn't seem to mind getting shot at, Heydar turns to the halfling and sends a blast of fire towards it.
Scorching Ray Attack:
Damage:
Then he turns his magic on himself:
Damage to himself:
And seeing how that didn't work, he performs a coup de grace on his own throat.
Woe to the lizard who finds himself on the end of your blade, for you have dropped another one!
As you slam into the small reptile, it goes flying through the air to slam into a tree, where it crumples to the ground.
The last lizard left notices it is now out numbered, and tries it's best to flee... right within reach of your whip.
A quick whip-lash and the lizard falls, the life leaving it's eyes. A quick search reveals no more of them, in hiding or not.
Reonnyn wipes the lizard ichor off his blade, while calling on the dark abyssal powers to increase his likeability .
He then turns to the ladies and says, "Wow, gee thank you for saving my life! I don't know how much longer I could have held out against those nasty lizards."
He throws on his most charming smile, "My name is Reonnyn, pleased to meet you!"

Selyne grins at her fiends and this possibly new companion,
"Quick, we butcher the meat and flee before some of the larger carnivores come!"
"Quickly, gather the belongings from the fallen." She remarks, arms covered in blood from her carving and slicing of the still warm Dino's. "We should let no windfall escape!" She adds, possibly sounding rather grim, covered in the butchery of harvesting as she is.
"You eat these things? Well, if you need some help with that, let me know."
Reonnyn stands back and watches for other threats.
"Hey! You're properly sized and that guy just shot himself then cut his own throat open! Is that a new way to say hello? Does he want to be reincarnated as a badger, 'cause I like badgers and they're fun to be around and a badger that could fire bolts of fire would be awesome and fun and probably taste like chicken cause most things taste like chicken except children who taste like young chicken!"
Reonnyn walks over to the corpse of Heydar, noting the man's dress.
Hmm this guy sounds like he was one of the people who trapped me on this rock. Good riddance to him, but he could have told me who set me up before he up and died on me.
Replying to Jimpy, "I guess he didn't like the price of taking tours of this island paradise, he he. So, gotta name, or will I have to call you Sir Talksalot?"
"I'm Jimpy! Jimpy Ashetongue!"
Dao takes in the scene after the battle silently, watching as Selyne skins the creatures. Shhe looks at the two men, as they exchange....pleasantries attempting to gain some insight into them.
Sense motive
Reonnyn notices the attractive woman studying him, and gives her a wink.
.
Sincerely,
.
Heydar's Ghost
Selyne ignores the chatter from Jimpy, (Or at least she does her best. :P) as she continues to skin hide and carve meat from bones.
"Dao? The fallen man, what does the body carry?" She calls, leaving the two smaller people to themselves.
Dao nods to Selyne as she begins to search the man's corpse.
Dao nods to Selyne as she begins to search the man's corpse.
Seeing the actions of Selyne and Dao searching the corpse thoroughly, make him almost...almost want to be dead.
Leaning conversationally over to the other halfling, Jimpy smiles. "I'd go through his stuff too, but I already have a lucky human toe." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out something that could be a large shriveled toe or it could be an overly large raisin. Jimpy looks at it lovingly then tucks it away.
'He he, nice souvenir.'
"We must hurry. Kills do not lay uncontested for long." She warns, as she quickly begins to parcel out the various chunks of freshly carved Lizard.
Reonnyn will grab just a few chunks of meat, as he does not want to be weighed down.
As you all start to carry the freshly cleaned meat back to the cave, you see a light flaring up in front of it. It seems the mystery man has started a fire. He greets you as you enter the firelight.
"Hello again. It looks like you were successful in stopping whatever was happening, and brought a new company back too!"
He extends a hand to Reonnyn.
"And what might your name be?"
And I wonder where this guy came from, is he a criminal, or phychotic like that native lady, at least she looks native.
"Pleased ta meetcha. Names Reonnyn. And you are called..."
Selyne wastes no time with idle pleasantries, but quickly sets about cutting branches, gathering large leaves, sorting the cuts into those that can be roasted now as opposed to those that need to be trimmed and smoked/preserved for later. Even as she sharpens the wooden stakes upon which to cook the meat, she is pointing out which trees, bushes and nearby root type plants will have tubers, berries and other assorted 'Bush fruit' to add to the coming meal.
"Pleased ta meetcha. Names Reonnyn. And you are called..."
The man tosses some more wood on the fire.
"Reonnyn? Isn't that name usually given to a girl halfling? I'll never understand why some parents name their children what they do..."
He pokes the burning logs with a long stick, sending sparks high into the air. The sky is clearer now, the moon shining bright down on the group.
"How is everyone liking their time her on the island?"
