Iseret nods her agreement with Tabat. "Yes, I think that we should visit our new 'friends'."

"It could be best," Tabat says, "Before they notice this one missing and come after us in force. She was following us, they surely also are aware of our presence in the city and have similar interests in stopping us from what we're doing. It would be best if we press the advantage now."

Tabat already has a Cloak of Resistance +1. One of you should grab it.

The Island
Two miles downstream in the River Sphinx from Tephu, you spot the hieracosphinx patrolling the area. By watching it you can quickly tell which island is likely the right one among several that match the description given to you.
It's a low, nameless island hidden among reeds in the middle of the river amid scores of similar places. It rises just a few feet above the water, amid the reeds and is about 100 feet across.
How do you approach?

"We should approach slowly, carefully, maintain the element of surprise as long as we can," Tabat suggests. "Though, I admit being quiet is not my strongest suit."

It was afternoon when you left the library and so evening approaches. However, on the next pass of its aerial patrol, the hieracosphinx might spot you, if it hasn't already.

'Perhaps if you do not thin she can remain hidden, we see if we can let it spot us. See if it comes to deal with us itself and you three can try and take it out? Unless we think it will just raise the alarm?

"Let's just get to shore and try to avoid it. It may raise an alarm. If it comes in for a fight, I'll be ready. Does anyone know anything about these creatures?" Tabat pulls free his magical spear, in case of attack.

Iseret knows she cannot close the distance before the creature acts and casts about for cover. If she finds any, she crouches down behind the nearest cover. She huddles down at the bottom of the boat if she does not find cover. She hopes the others will distract the sphinx until she can maneuver behind it.
Jan 27, 2025 6:43 am
Tabat stays close to Khadi, encouraging her to disembark onto land in order to keep the boat - and their passage back - safe. He hefts the spear up and readies it for if the creature comes in close.

OOC:
He'll try to position himself so that if the creature comes down to attack him or Khadi, he'll be within range to strike. The spear has the 'brace' feature, which works against a charge, but I'm not sure how that would translate to a creature flying down to strike.Using Risky Strike for the readied attack and rolling now to speed things up.

Jaware raises and quickly fires his bow twice, channeling a spell into the arrows.
Wow, great rolls. The first hits it's touch AC so the spell is delivered, but not it's flat-footed AC so the physical arrow doesn't penetrate it's natural armor. 10 damage.

The hieracosphinx leaps into the air, screaming in rage and pain. Once in the air, it readies itself for a flying dive attack.

"Hold your ground!" Tabat says as the shriek of the creature pierces his ears.
He braces his spear, ready for the oncoming attack.
Edit: I will spend a hero point after the roll to increase the attack result by +4, hope that's enough to hit it...if it's 1 off from a hit, he can use the spear's ability to make it a hit as well.

OOC:
Same as last round, bracing and holding an action to attack. If I'm reading the rules correctly, he can 5ft step as part of a readied action if he hasn't moved this turn yet, so hopefully if it dives at him or Khadi this will allow him to get the right angle on it.Edit: I will spend a hero point after the roll to increase the attack result by +4, hope that's enough to hit it...if it's 1 off from a hit, he can use the spear's ability to make it a hit as well.
