Druug, you may make an Arcana check.

OOC: can I also make an arcana check, you know being a wizard and all

Arcana: 12

Arcana: 21

The cat dissipates before your eyes in a cloud of smoke, but not before Alex recognizes it as a wizards familiar, such as he has summoned before.

Alex turns to the group. "Wizards familiar, we're being watched."

Druug looks at the others and grunts. “Now what?”

Before Alex can answer Druug's question, a dwarven barbarian, bloodlust in his eyes and greataxe in his hand, breaks out of the northern corridor and into the room. Hard on his heels come three others, similarly equipped for battle. Combat erupts.

Roll initiative!

Initiative: 8

Initiative: 12

OOC: I think Chairwoman_Gene may not be active anymore

Perhaps I will assume command of her character during combat.

Initiative: 12

An elven rogue slinks out of the shadows and makes his attack.

OOC: I think Chairwoman_Gene may not be active anymore

OOC: I have hit a hard stretch as far as posting frequency due to my job throwing me into an unexpected training for two weeks, sorry.  I'll have a combat post up within 3 hours.

No worries, this game has just been much more fast-paced than I expected. Post your attacks whenever it is convenient, and I will resolve them when it is your turn in initiative order.

Osym goes after the dwarf on her turn.

Trident: Attack: 9 Damage: 6

Kick: Attack: Attack: 7 Damage: 6

The rogue shimmies up one of the walls and hurls a dagger from his new vantage point. It buries itself in Alex's thigh, dealing 4 damage.

The dwarf barbarian has now reached your party, and he makes his attack.

You only need to post your attack if you don't have a lot of time on your hands, otherwise I will call you up on your turn.

**oh sorry, got confused, thought you meant all of us.**
