Ari whispers to her company, "What the hell is this place? We should tread cautiously..."
on crocodile
Len, Ari and Pogen are up. They don't seem to notice you yet.
Len tries to sneak toward the lizards.
Pogen will sneak along with Len and keep watching the lizard men intently.
The lizards don't manage to hear the commotion and go about their business.
Ari uses her stealthiness to creep closer to the creatures - behind what looks to be a huge boulder. With her new vantage point, she attempts to ascertain the behaviors of the lizardmen as they go about their business: if they're sentinels, workers, animal trainers, etc.
sneak up behind Len and Pogen and offer them minor life elixirs
Darb stays put, but tries to be quiet.
He fiddles with a stone, preparing to launch it if things get ugly.
The one on the dock is doing some labor mending rigging, but is well armed and you think he may be the one that shot darts at you from the water. If it's not the same, it is a very similar lizard. The one that is working with the crocodile may be some sort of animal trainer, or possibly a spellcaster. The one near the cave entrance is certainly some sort of guard. He is dressed similar to the second group you fought on the beach.
After a few minutes of watching the lizard, the guard walks over and begins to pile up wood to start a fire. The corcodile continues to do tricks for the far lizard, and the one on the dock continues to work on the boat.
Len signals to the others and moves back far enough away to where the lizards won't be able to hear them discuss. "Looks like they're just living their lives, but they DID attack us. They have resources we probably need to survive. I vote we take them out when they're not expecting it and make use of what they have."
Ari moves stealthily northwards to see if the sandy pathway the lizards are on connects with the one her comrades are currently using.
"They do have Rinvar. If anyone is going to eat him, it should be us. If it comes to that I mean. Hypothetically."
"Tanglefoot bags? You guys immobilize them so they can't get in the water when I set them on fire?"
pulls out 2 tanglefoot bags, offering them up
Pogen takes the Minor Life Elixir and gives a nod of thanks, but declines the tanglefoot bag.
"we need to get a bit closer, around this corner to the north maybe." he whispers, and sneaks 10 feet that way.
Darb will give Guidance to Len.
Len will start sneaking through the foliage to try to catch the lizards unawares.
Darb will also take a tanglefoot bag from Harrington.
Pogen will continue north west.
Follow north
As the group stealths up and around, the lizard stops to take a break from building the fire, at that same moment, ari steps on a stick and Harrington's potion bottles clank.
The lizard, looks over, strains to see through the dense brush, and moves towards the direction of the sound. Axe in hand, he slows near the edge but does not seem to be looking at anyone specifically.
The crocodile handler lizard shouts something as the guard leaves his post, and the guard shouts a quick reply. Both in a language you can not understand.
Pogen holds his breath and stands as still as possible.
Len attempts his stealthiest stealth, trying to continue moving around past the lizard.
Ari stares intently at the lizardman with her wide Elvish eyes.
Pogen sees Ari move her hands and lightly whisper something to herself. Then, 30 ft north of Pogen and Ari (marked by 'ghost sounds') , they hear what sounds like 2 separate humans softly talking, but they can't make out what they're saying.
Not being the stealthy sort Darb stands still, waiting for something to happen.
Readies alchemist fire for enemy that might see him.
The Lizard waits to hear response from the crocodile handler, then moves up a bit farther...
...and notices the party.
He yells in a language you can not understand and bears down on Pogen with his axe.
Pogen takes
When the lizards see Len, he changes course and makes a beeline straight for the one that's attacking Pogen.
Darb moves up and strikes with a telekinetic projectile.
Ari looks dismayed at her failed attempt to mislead the lizardman.
She exclaims something harsh sounding in Elvish and casts electric arc on her foe.
Success: The target takes half damage.
Critical Success: The target takes no damage.
Failure: The target takes full damage.
Critical Failure: The target takes double damage.
Noticing that her spell didn't have the potency anticipated, Ari slides back into the the brush a bit deeper.
+1 persistant and 1 splash
"Ack!" Pogen exclaims as the axe sinks into his flesh.
13/20 HP
Pogen takes a 5 foot step back and release a ray of frost at the lizardman.
Pogen's ray of frost hits the lizard and causes it to become sluggish. (Slowed 1 round). Len dances with himself. Darb chucks a coconut at the lizard's head and hits him between the eyes. Ari's generates what amounts to a bad static shock and buzzes the lizard. Harrington mises with his alchemit fire, but still manages to splash onto the scaly feet. Luckily no one else is in the splash.
The lizard roars in pain, yells again in his rough dialect, and swings at Len this time. It connects for
The other lizards now act as well, the one mending nets drops what it was doing and runs into the cave.
The crocodile and its handler move up toward the party.
Ari casts Faerie Dust on the approaching crocodile and lizardman. Then she attempts to stealthily change position once more.
Success: The creature is unaffected.
Failure: The creature can’t use reactions and takes a –2
conditional penalty to Perception checks.
Critical Failure: The target falls asleep. It automatically awakens
when the spell ends.
Move up grab tanglefoot bag and alchemist fire throw tanglefoot at lizard
Len grits his teeth and stabs back at the lizard that hit him.
He decides to stab away once more.
Pogen unleashes another ray of frost at the lizardman.
Darb inspires courage and launches another shot at the lizard by Len.
The crocodile handler begins to cast a spell, then touches the crocodile.
The crocodile moves up and attacks Len but does not connect.

Then he stabs at it.

Pogen spews missiles across the battlefield.
Len is not fast enough to sneak past the croc without a bite, but is able to dodge the jaws and land a blow.
Darb causes the croc to become agitated and unfocused.
Ari shoots a ray of frost, connecting with the croc.
Harrington lobs bombs on the croc, covering it with fire and acid.
------Next Round------
The handler casts another spell and the croc's wounds close a bit.
The croc angrily lashes out at Len and connects.
and grabs him.
The croc then tucks in its legs and rolls rapidly, twisting Len wildly. Fortunately, Len finds his moment as the croc begins his roll to escape.
Darb continues to Inspire Courage and lobs a tk projectile at the croc.
Rakrjgb realizes he should save his acid and trades it out for alchemist fire and tanglefoot
Pogen takes a 5 foot step east and then casts magic missiles, all at the crocodile this time.
