Village in Chult (3rd level, RETIRED)

Chult. This steamy, hot mess of a jungle has proved to be very difficult land to explore, but the rumors of treasure lures in many adventurers. This particular group of heroes has traveled for one grueling week, facing lizardfolk, monstrous plants, swarms of bugs, and poisonous reptiles.

Today they come upon a tiny village on the shores of the Shining Sea. It is the first taste of civilization the companions have had since their arrival in the jungle.

A dock with a small boat tied to it rests on the shore, jutting into the water. A few buildings make up the village, with a large and finely built structure at the center of it all.

A rapid river pours into the sea, filling the air with the steady sound of rushing water. The only figure visible in the tiny village slowly meanders across a small wooden bridge, entering a building that looks like it might be a tavern.

As they draw closer to the town, the companions hope for a reprieve from their recent toils...

The main path into the center of the village runs past a large building built like a warehouse. A stable is attached to the warehouse, and one of its large doors lies asunder. Dark shadows hide whatever might be inside.

A sound somewhere between a scream and a whinny erupts from the darkness, and four horses burst from the warehouse. Their coats seem patchy, and a black ooze flows from open sores in their flesh. The closest carries in its mouth a human arm.

[ooc]Two apologies

1). Sorry the posting has been slow! Holidays and all that, plus I wrote out a nice long post and accidentally deleted so I had to try again later 🙄

2). Freaking horses! They dice are definitely in their favor![/

Round 1 Summary

The horses tear out of the warehouse like beasts from the Abyss. With crushing hooves they trample over the party, aiming for legs, heads, and chests with a fury like none of the companions has ever beheld from mere horses. Tok'ra takes an especially bad hit to the skull, and collapses in the dirt road.

Rettle takes 20 and is knocked prone
Tok'ra takes 25 and is dying
Galtak takes 10
Duren takes 21 and is knocked prone

The horses break away and turn about, ready to stampede once more. One of them catches Rettle's eye and starts tossing its head uncomfortably, obviously affected by the dwarf's basilisk gaze.
