Shan is silent, her eyes piercing the swamp around them. She seems to be on the edge. 

“I don’t like this...” she says “ I have a bad feeling about this... “ 

As the sun starts to glide down once more you feel the hardship of the day taking its toll on you. 

You have seen signs of the city almost all.day long. Glimpse at paved street submerge now in fetid water. Broken, once white now moss covered columns. But now you are entering the edge of the city. 

Humanoid made whine bridges make the track easier but you feel like you are entering someone's territory. 

Not so far away drums have begun to sound. 

Shanryar stops trying to discern something from where the sound of drums come.

"Dhulak"

She wishpers and the light that were lit on her staff dissapears to help them conceal and locate any other light source.

Kinlin just pacing along observing the area

Escarin calls to Havran "Stay ahead of us, but do not put yourself in danger, if you see the source of those drums or any other dangers let me know and show me what you can see". Moving carefully he looks out for any signs of danger.

Perception 9

OOC Havran will only move 100' ahead at most so he is only going to give us a little extra time if we are about to bump into something.

Also if you want Havran to roll Perception then here it is too 7

Geoff sees everyone stopping to observe so he follows suit. He grabs the shield off his back with his left hand and points his spear forward with his right as he scans the area around him in a slightly crouched stance behind his shield.

Perception 27

Xorn callls for the group to huddle for a discussion. “I think Kinlin and Alex should get scout out the drums while we take up defensive positions here in the woods. If you get into trouble...” he says looking at the Kendrr and Half Elf, “...just head back here and we’ll suprise them.”

[ooc] not sure on the distance of the drums but if they are close this is his suggestion. If they are far, he recommends getting closer. 

Geoff says, "Sounds like a good idea to me. We should be cautious."

Kinlin will wait for Alex to prepare 

then will move forward in stealth mode 25

OOC: I 'll wait for Alex and describe the scene and situation. 

Stealth 7

Kinlin and Alex both advance, Kinlin more assured takes the lead and melts in the shadows. 

Massive ruins rise from the jungle undergrowth. Small broken towers pierce the cover of trees with their jagged points. Ferns and bushes sprout through the flagstones in a plaza surrounded by small shacks and lean-tos. A huge bonfire blazes at the far north side of the open square. Before it, several creatures are beating on drums.  They have mottled scales in various shades of bronze and dark green. Their eyes are blood red, and they have slightly stooped shoulders. Their fangs are visible at your distance. They seem to be in the middle of a ritual dedicated to the creature behind them. 

Beyond the fire, set in the remaining half-shell of a crumbled dome, a huge black dragon stands, its wings outstretched to blot out any sunlight which fought its way through the thick jungle canopy.

Fear coursed through Alex's veins and he slipped, his foot hitting a log that went rolling in the center of the plaza.

All of a sudden the drums stop and the dragon-like men turn their heads toward Alex. All six of them start to get up. Thier leader a larger monster standing just over six feet tall and covered with bronze-colored scales locks his dull yellow eyes on the interloper. 

He snarls something that hurts your ears.

OOC: Kinlin is still hidden, Geoff great roll in perception enables him to see from afar that Alex has been caught in the open.  Havran was just taking his break, and he is busy eating a very fat bug. 

Geoff says to the group who stayed behind, "Alex is in trouble, he's caught in the open!"

OOC how far are the two groups away from each other? And how close is Alex to the enemy? 

Here are more info. Was planning to do it and got sidetracked sorry.

Alex is 100 feet from the plaza. And 200 feet from you. 

Shan is still with the group. Only Alex and Kinlin have advanced toward the plaza. 

The group can't see the dragon yet. Only Geoff has seen things through the canopy and thick foilage.

I need perception rolls from Alex and Kinlin with advantage for the kendersince he is not in any danger yet. 

You may want to roll init so we have a better idea of when people taking actions. We 'll keep it once the fight starts.
