Surprise Round Cleo is wary of the situation. The Count hardly sounded like a man about to be devoured, and it seemed odd that that he would know that they were in the area. She rubs the signet ring on her hand and concentrates deeply, conjuring up an image of Bomande moving across the clearing towards the sound. From there she merely observes quietly, expecting at least something to come of it. Expending a point of mental focus from my ring to create a Minor Image of Bomande moving towards the voice down there. I'm going to keep an eye out, I have Low-Light Vision if it helps.
With her companions seeing to Guy, Cleo quickly wades across the river and scrambles up the rope ladder. "Hopefully the water will dissuade it." she comments as she sets up her longbow and arrows for easy access. Taking 10 on the Climb check for 11. While I'm up there I'm going to roll Stealth to try and conceal my own blind as best I can. Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Round 1 Cleo reluctnantly wades into the underbrush in hope of getting a clearer shot at the snake. Her keen eyesight makes the job somewhat easier, but the shot was still challenging to say the least. 5' Step, Standard Action to attack the Cobra. Deadeye bowman allows me to ignore soft cover from Gedulan. Do you want to roll miss chance or us? Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Cleo turns away from her haggling. She blinks in surprise but then immediately smiles. "Sure Varis! I'm happy to help!" She looks over whatever it is he has (or is willing to show) and taps her chin. "Well, we'll definetely need some traps. That's what I'm trying to secure now. Specifically a bear trap! Simple enough that anyone can use them and if any beastie springs it, it won't be going anywhere anytime soon." "A Beast Lure could also help significantly, depending if they stock it. That way we don't have to spend days tracking down our predator." "Otherwise a good knife always helps when you're having to survive out in the jungle for a while." "Hopefully that helps! Or were you looking for broader advice on life out in the bush?"
Cleo happily shows off her grappling arrow and vials of acid. She searches through her things frantically, though as if she had lost something, "Ah...I'm sorry Baron, it looks as if I have forgotten to prepare the most important trap. I had intended to bring along a bear trap..." Cleo does her best to offer her apologies. Beyond that for the rest of the trip she bothers the Captain for permission to run a fishing line of the side of the vessel as they go. Master Billy Quizboy has not created a profile. |
