Xipe keeps her bow trained on the area, but not menacingly so. She keeps a hand ready to draw a melee weapon as well.
"Something lurks in the shadows...or the shadows lurk in the shadows."
"I vote right, but doesn't matter really. Flip a coin."
"We can wait until it burns out." Does it seem like it is self sustaining (ie magical), or is it some oil that will burn out in a few rounds?
She looks down as the gaping wound mends slowly with each pulse of the wand. The pain that she had been blocking out slowly ebbs away, until a small pale scrape is all that remains. Xipe grunts, "Thanks, I should be fine now." "Let's explore our new home shall we?" she chuckles raspily.
"We should forge deeper within. This place probably holds some significance. I could use some tending of my wounds however."
"Looks like I'm gonna live." She grunts with a snort. "Let me see about this poison gland now."
Carefully slicing out the gland with her knife she carefully places it in a hollowed out piece of chitin. "Hmm, smells foul." she chortles to herself "Heeeere, weezard, weezard, weeezard...."
"Hrrunngh" Xipe grimaces as she examines her wound. It hurt, but looked ok and probably would not get infected if she cleaned it. She went about cleaning it, gritting her teeth at the pain. Eventually she makes her way over to Even to see if he needs help with his wound, and then to the giant creature. She looked about for the poison glands to extract them and utilize the poison.
She also carved off some pieces of the chitin and cleaned the gunk off of them, thinking to fashion some sort of fancy armor or the like.
Round 2 - Success Xipe shrieks as the mandibles rip into her and the savage poison injects into the gaping puncture wounds. She manages to shrug it off and tough on. Xipe drops back 5' and unleashes a pair of arrows. "Poison bite, watch out, and tail that can trip you."
Peering around the corner, she sees the huge insect. Hmm, what do I know about vermin such as these, particular the monstrously huge kind..
Xipe creeps forward as she ponders a bit and fires an arrow at the thing.
If hit, I should be able to do sneak attack and use my studied target damage bonus as an immediate action. damage
Xipe nods at Even. "Yes, that seems like good thinking. At this point, what have we got to lose? We can always run away." she says jokingly, her think accent and blunt delivery making it hardly a joke.
"Should we leave it alone? It seems unlikely to be intelligent."
"Hey this could make a safe refuge. Someone built something down here. Hopefully no one is home." She has an arrow knocked, ready to pull and fire. Proceeding cautiously....
Xipe stands around pondering, kicking at a pebble with her toe. "No rope." She chuckles raspily.
Xipe nods to the dragon, wishing to talk more, but isn't sure what to say and neither of them appeared to know much information. Long ago her tribe spoke draconic, and as a matter of tradition it was taught to all the people, even if it was rarely used, except for rituals. It seemed strange to her that here and now it came in handy. Later at the sink hole, "This might seem crazy. But I feel like we should investigate the sink hole. Inumerable things may have fallen into it over time. We can secure a rope."
Xipe replies in Draconic at first, then also switches to Common. "I am Xipe. These are my companions. We are trapped on this island by an evil wizard. We have slain a dragon that attacked us a few days ago."
"Dragon stop! What do you want with us? Leave us in peace. We are prisoners here, and tired of being harassed every day!" (awesome!) "Help us or leave us or we make you into a satchel!"
Xipe hisses to the others to wake up, nudging them with her toe. She nocks an arrow and begins to study the creature. If possible she will try to hide.
"Something is coming from the sky. Wake up and be ready for a fight."
oh, sorry yes I was done leveling days ago, sorry I didn't post. Ready and raring to go! Sorry I did'nt post about my feat. I see now. I have it selected.
Added another slayer level. -Gained sneak attack this level.
Also, in terms of rogue stuff, Xipe has disable device and some measure of stealth, but terrible perception. still picking 5th level feat.
Xipe launches two more arrows at the thing, hoping arrows can even hurt a giant blob.
"Never heard of this sort of thing, not natural!"
"Perhaps we can walk briskly away from it. I am not sure it moves to fast." Xipe draws her bow and fires two arrows.
Shaking the sleep and grogginess from her she grunts "Grrr."
"I think we should move inland."
Round 2
Carefully taking aim at her studied targets, Xipe fires two more arrows rapidly, her bow string twanging as the two arrows 'thwip' through the air.
Xipe will study the creatures and fire an arrow at one of them. She has learned that almost nothing here is friendly. move action study target
Just curious. It may not be the best spot to attempt such a thing, but we can continue the exploration. So much of the island to discover probably :)
"We can scale down easier, but if there is nothing down there to see, is there any need?"
"Quite a few unnatural creatures lately. How long will we wander for?"
"Thanks, Even." Xipe grunts as the magical healing takes a small amount of the edge off, and a few bones knit. The next morning she looks about, "How did that get here? This wizard toys with us, or perhaps we have allies watching now, the mud men helped us...." Xipe eyes the surroundings, as if she is being watched. She shakes a fist at the heavens. "Can anyone use this wand?" (assuming Even can, but Xipe doesn't know about that).
Xipe lifts her hide shirt and examines the tender spot on her chest, with labored breathing, she pokes around the ribs and winces. "Yugh. This will take a while to heal." The teen girl wraps some cloth around her chest to keep from moving as much and then redons the shirt again trying not to breathe heavily. "Well, we press on or rest? Maybe over time the wizard wears us down and will win eventually. Do we wish to establish a base at some point? I wonder how long we wander the island."
Xipe keeps up the barrage of arrows against the earth elemental and then steps 5' back to 20' away. (Precise Shot shooting into combat, no penalties)
"I wonder why the muddy ones are attacking the earth one. Is this some elemental feud or do we have an unknown ally? Can anyone speak with elementals?"
"Peculiar." Xipe take a move action to study the earth elemental. She fires again taking aim this time.
"Oof." Xipe tumbles away from the creature 15'.
Safely away she fires an arrow point blank.
"Those creatures were quite unnatural, I wonder if the wizard sent them intentionally." Xipe looks to the sky and shakes her fist.
Xipe will roll to her feet as she reacts a bit slowly and groggy. Grabbing her bow and taking aim with an arrow. Hopefully the arrow will hit. add 1 if they are within 30' add 1 if they are within 30'
"That makes sense Yurian, we have seen the shore now and have an idea what it takes if we want to get a raft down there." Xipe retreats from the edge of the cliff somewhat and starts looking for a campsite, then gathers wood and materials for the night.
"I think we should camp up here."
Xipe stands at the edge peering off the cliff. It seems beautiful, but always on her mind is the fact that she is here as a prisoner, part of some twisted game. "It seems safer to follow the coast for a while to see if the cliff disappears, rather than scale down." They had finally reached the coast, but a small obstacle.
We cautiously move onward, braving the wilds.
"We can shelter here, but we have no wood for a fire. This will keep us from the wind, and we have bedrolls. The earth will keep from freezing, the earth insulates, so it will be cool but not deadly."
"Let's look in cave." Xipe grabs wolf pelt.
Xipe grabs his arrows and thieves tools.
