Mig sees a clearing ahead, through the trees, and notices Zip bending over something. "Zip, you find anything? This place is strange. The water doesn't sit right here." Mig then looks back over his shoulder to see if OOLIN was with him, or if she was still at the tunnel. Strange place indeed.

Peering into the darkness, OOLIN could see that the tunnel extended a half-dozen paces then made a sharp right. Beyond that, she couldn't make anything out, though the more she stared, the more she was convinced there was a faint, soft glow emanating from around the corner. The interior of the tunnel was made of the same material as the exterior: interlocking hexagonal-shaped plates, most golden, some black, all bound together by an amber-colored substance.

Unable to keep her curiosity in check, OOLIN crawls* through the hole and down the tunnel to investigate.
OOC:
Is there space to stand or crouch in here? If yes, then she will do so.

OOC:
I am going to wait to determine my next action based on whatever happens with Zip. I'm assuming that OOLIN is entering the tunnel at about the same time he's pulling on this white thing, and I'm inbetween them both on the verge of either A) going back to support OOLIN and make sure she's safe, or, B) providing aid to Zip

OOC:
I accept the XP of course :)
Edit: Let the other go to Mig

@jabes.plays.rpgs, there's enough room for OOLIN to stand upright. I'll update what she encounters in my next rollup post after getting direction of what everyone is doing at the old campsite
Zippo reached down and tugged on the cloth, partially pulling it from the earth and revealing a hastily-buried body. He tugged a bit harder, and the body slid partially from the grave. There were a number of lumps under the man's clothing, and the shirt Zippo was pulling at tore loose. Bounding free from their hiding place, five laaks sprung out at Zippo.

OOC:
@Zippo, I need a Speed Defense roll as you're being swarmed by these creatures

As Mig looks back at OOLIN just as she disappears into the mouth of the tunnel. He is about to call after her when he hears Zip's surprised shout. Turning around he sees some Laaks emerging at Zippo's feet, coming from somewhere underground. Mig calls loudly for OOLIN and then rushes to his friend's aid.

OOC:
You do not hear the call for help....unless you want to chance spending an XP to reroll.

Ythindra holds up the wing cipher appreciatively, before tucking it in her belt pouch.

She looks at Xan and watches Crash bound away.
"Where did the others go? Let's go find them. There are enemies in this wood."
Jun 28, 2017 2:05 pm
"Cursed!" Zippo calls out as he sees the little buggers. He tries to jump out of their way.
OOC:
Using a level of effort. I am trained in Speed Defense.

Mig arrived in time to see Zippo jump back, effectively batting down the creatures as they vainly sought to sink their little fangs into his flesh.
OOC:
I need a roll for initiative from the two of you as you're the only two at the scene. If anyone else arrives later, I'll add them into the initiative order as appropriate. Also, just for the sake of making the mechanics clear, even though there are five of these laaks, I'm treating them as a single Swarm. So you don't need to declare which of the five you're going for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOLIN crept forward and emerged in a hexagonal room that was softly lit by the golden pieces that helped make up the floor, walls, and ceilings. Three doorways were on the far side of the room, each with hallways extending further into the structure.

As the words "enemies in the woods" leave Ythindra's lips Zandoran hears Zippo's cry of surprise... Zandoran sighs For its it not written "Speak of the devil and he shall appear" he then takes off running towards the sound of alarm

OOC:
Do people not there realize what's happening?
Jun 29, 2017 12:53 pm
OOC:
OOLIN is the only one who is outside hearing range (due to her being in a cavern underground.) Everyone else would have been able to hear the calls for help and cries of surprise. Responding to those cries? That's entirely up to you and your characters. ;)

Crash stalks close to his prey as it basked in sunlight. So innocent and simple... He charged towards it when he heard sounds and skidded to a halt and looked in the direction before looking back. The butterfly flickered away in the winds and he huffed. Crash grunted and shambled towards the sounds.
OOC:
I guess I get there when I get there.
Jun 29, 2017 3:22 pm
How big is this place? OOLIN wonders. I should go call the others. But first just a tiny peek. She approaches the right-most door and peeks through.
Jun 29, 2017 5:08 pm
OOC:
@remnant, give me a speed/running roll. If you succeed, you'll be able to act this next round, otherwise, you'll arrive at the next.
@qralloq, you can do likewise if you want Ythrinda to join in as well. Based on your last post, it looks like that's what your intent was, but I'd rather not assume.

Initiative order is as follows:
Laak Swarm
Zippo
Mig
Zandoran
Crash

The lizard-like creatures climbed over and around each other in their frantic race for fresh meat.
OOC:
@Zippo, I need another Speed Defense roll
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOLIN tries to poke her head down the hallway to the right and hits it against something solid. The hallway appears to extend uninterrupted before her, but the passage is blocked by something unseen at its entrance. The hallway appears to open into another room in the distance, but it's too far away to be sure, though a stronger light is definitely coming from that direction.
