Well, then. In one single devastating turn, the hunted became the hunter.
Gregor sizes up one of the raptors for a moment, before delivering a substantial blow with his (greataxe?) Deciding to deliver a more calculated swing, gutting the raptor Right up the belly. He then turns his head, looking at the raptor next to chubby, ready for more blood.
Simultaneously, Crispy has found a gap in the defences of the raptor near the back of the group, and with a sliding slash beneath its legs, manages to hit two major arteries on the inside of its legs. It collapses in a bloody heap, as she swing around to give her companion Chubbs a hand.
Meanwhile, Chubby has been eyeing off this raptor infront of him, waiting... waiting, then picking the exact moment to strike, as warhammer comes down hard onto its head with a sickening crack of shattering skull can be heard. An instant later, Gregors’ axe comes ploughing into the side of the same raptor- it lets out a shriek of pain, but is cut short by Crispy, dashing in at the last minute, delivering a short sword right into its heart. The three of you pause for a moment, weapons embedded in this creature as it then slumps to the ground.
V4 from the bushes lets out a shriek of horror as it calculates its situation. It uses its action to slowly back away, into the jungle. Its eyes never wavering from each of you until it’s completely covered by foleage before it darts into the thick, lush, cover of jungle.
Crispy takes out a rag and starts cleaning her short swords, the heat of the place causing her to pant a bit and sweat more than usual. Keeping her swords clean was a big deal to her, and you never know when those brass knuckles may come in handy. She glances at everyone to make sure no wounds are too serious - not like she could do anything about it anyways.
"Not too shabby, guys." She mentions. "Hopefully that last one won't bring it's friends."
As you all dart in different directions, Liam and Chubby jump one way, and the others go the other. Liam and chubbs, you take 4 bludgeoning damage as the raptor who was attempting to flee, comes flying back through the jungle and lands on top of you. It quickly kicks and scuffles, gets to its feet and darts off in the opposite direction with a limp, without even acknowledging your existence.
A cacophonous ROAR hurts your ears, originating from the direction in which the Raptor flew. A low rumble of something huge growls, sending vibrations through your body. You all hear, not in words, but in the back of your minds, a deep, gutteral voice, talking slowly in a tounge you may not be familiar with.
Anyone who can understand Abyssal, you understand it to say this;
IT’S MORE FUN WHEN YOU RUN...
Liam FYI your dagger is going ******* nuts. The high pitched noise is almost hurting your brains.
Gregor shouts “FRIENDS, WE BEST BE STAYING AWAY FROM THE FLAMMABLE TREES AND SUCH”
Put your spoiler here.
Since Chubby and I got amazing survival rolls initially, do we remember if there was any clearings or better areas to have a fight in a one minute vacinity of where we are currently.
Initial survival rolls determined the beginning of the pre- travelled trail, and maintaining the correct path. Even with your mad survival skills, this particular part of the jungle doesn’t seem to have any parts which are more open so far.
Crispy takes a moment to squint through the leaves and trees. Just through an opening, you manage to see a large, red eye, surrounded by rugged fur around 6’ in the air looking directly at you. It then shimmers slightly, like a chamelion changing its scales, you see it right before your eyes blend in to the surrounding foleage.
The growling and grumbling begins to sound more like a low, gutteral laugh as you hear twigs snapping, leaves moving, and then... for the moment... nothing.
"It's more fun when you run..." Liam translates almost automatically, his voice almost deadpan monotonous. This is one of those few occasions when his emotionless yuan-ti side is actually beneficial to him, because intellectually he knows he should probably be freaking out at this point. Instead, he is just barely able to maintain clear focus. He knows from his tutelage under Master Stormheart that this language is Abyssal, and that it's most frequently associated with demons.
"Fall back until we have a better idea what we're looking at, but don't show it your backside! That's just what it wants!"
His warning given, Liam proceeds to slowly start backing away down the trail, heading back the direction they'd come, but not before positioning himself between Nia and whatever this creature might be.
Nia did indeed show the thing her backside. For a brief moment the skirt of her robe went up and her underpants went down, a taunting swat and then she quickly redressed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Disregard- Just some dice rolls which mean nothing to you... maybe... 113
Nia. (I am so so sorry, but this is kinda karma) You suddenly feel yourself being lifted up into the air and a tight squeeze around you. The rest of you watch, as Nia is picked up by some kind of force, around 9-10 feet in the air and turned sideways. A low, guttural laugh reverberates around the area once again- but much, much closer. A large area just to the side of the path begins to shimmer. Suddenly, you see two, enormous bluey/grey feet with toes the size of garbage bins. Red matted and fury muscular legs shimmer into view- You realise, Nia, you are being held up in the air by a -huge- red haired ape- standing about 10' high and built like an elephant. It ROARS directly in your face before biting you- puncturing your body with its teeth, then slamming its fist into the ground- with you still in it, before throwing you 15' down the path, standing over the top of you all, and emitting a gigantic, bellowing ROAR.
I need everyone to roll al WISDOM saving throw please- Let me know on your save if you would like to re-roll initiative or keep the same.
Laughing so hard right now. XD Just to clarify, did I get grabbed by something like telekinesis/mage hand/etc or was the ape invisible or suchlike?
Nia was flung away from the beast and bounced a few times along the path before coming to rest. She muttered "Woooorth... it..." before falling unconscious.

"What..in the Hells...?" Crispy whispers, and stands perfectly still, swords drawn. "Urge to run...rising...!"
I use "Eye for Detail" and use a bonus action to make a Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a hidden creature or object. If applicable.
Wisdom (Perception): 20

No magic, just picked you up... That's right kids, this thing can turn invisible.

I suggest we just re-use the existing initiative rolls, as this appears to be the same fight just continued.
Which way was Nia thrown down the trail? Ahead or behind us? Chubby has a plan...
