((I think Calwin's probably already gone. Despite his scholarly persona, he has a bit of a reputation for being impulsive that may or may not have spread to any of you Seekers. Though as a whole, he's been on very good behavior recently.))

Sallah chases after Calwin. "Don't be so impulsive! We should listen to the others when they advise caution."
That doesn't stop the gnome from joining with Calwin to the wagon. Sallah has his quarterstaff in hand, and the crystals on his gauntlets occasionally spark with electricity. 

(Reminder that the next time Calwin is showing restraint, Sallah will be rash instead.
If it gets too annoying for the party to have them alternate this behavior, then maybe both gnomes will eventually learn to curb their instincts. )

The group of you approach the tree line you can clearly see three humans, two men and a women, as well as a dog sitting on the ground. They look very tired, sweaty with small cuts and scrapes littering their face and arms. They are dressed in brown leathers that has seen it's fair share of use. They each have a number of knives on a belt. One of the men and the women have swords while the other man has a crossbow. They have red bandanas wrapped around their heads. Their weapons lay on the ground next to them and as they hear you approach they place a hand on them but do not pick them up. The dog sits back, it's tongue hanging out of it's mouth and tail wagging happily.

The wagon is basically destroyed. It lies on it's side, tipped so the bottom is facing you as you approach. The wheels and the back axel are broken.

@Agar

 The women raises her left hand up (while her right rests on her weapon), "Oy! Good to see some friendly faces this far from the road. Ya mind givin' us a hand seems we had a bit of trouble here." Her voice is tired and a bit weak. We shall say you are about 50 feet from them and the wagon when she calls out to you.

"What happened to you, good lady? Seems more than just a bit of trouble, are any of you injured?", Calwin calls out, slowing his approach as he sees that no one is in dire straights. 

((There are no signs of the horses or whatever was pulling their wagon? Would the red bandanas signify anything to Calwin?))

((There are no signs of the horses or whatever was pulling their wagon? Would the red bandanas signify anything to Calwin?))

(Those are my questions as well.
For the first one, is this a human-powered wagon, like a rickshaw? Or is this more like a 4 horse wagon?)

The wagon looks similar to the one Gehir is using, just a bit smaller. The tongue where you expect maybe one horse attached is snapped in half. Presumably there was a horse or mule or something but it is gone. The red bandanas are very generic and not affiliated with any gangs that you are aware of. There are no other identifiable symbols or markings that you can see. 

The women starts to gingerly get to her feet taking her weapon with her, " 'ell it's been a 'ell of a day. We was mind our own business travelin' through the woods fer a reason that ya dont need t'bother wit when the damn horse got real spooked like. She took off through da'woods 'n when she came out this side. Me, Billy and Bobby here were ridin' on the wagon 'n nearly git thrown right off. Hit some sort of log or rock and the whole thing went sideways. Horse run off and we been sittin' 'ere fer a good while since. Tryin' to figure out our next move n'at."

The older man starts to get up, "Now Thorton, don't go tellin' these bookish type anymore they 'ight be bandits in clever disguise. I bet they fixin' to take what little we gots." He wipes a bit of blood from his face.

Jonathan approaches seeing the presence of weapons but non threatening sheaves his own.

"So what is it, can we do to help you folk?" He looks to see if anyone is seriously hurt. But still weary he doesn't get close.

Sallah adds some warmth to his voice, to maybe calm them down. "What we were fixin' on doing was your wagon, maybe even that shattered wheel. My friend Calwin and myself have the minor spell of Mending, which given enough time will re-piece what is broken. We also have the tools needed, where manual labor is faster than magic.

"If you don't want your wagon restored, we will leave you in peace if that is your will. We haven't seen your horse. We would appreciate news if you've seen anything unusual or dangerous in the area, as we are scouting."

Calwin preens a bit at being referred to as a 'bookish type'. High praise from a random traveler!

Thorton sighs, "Aye, forgive me an' my mates. It ain't easy t'trust anyone out 'ere." She turns help Billy up off the ground when you all see a shuddering of the trees. The dog wheels and turns toward the tree line and starts barking and yelping at the commotion. You hear branches snapping as the trees appear to bend under some unseen force. Thorton scrambles back toward you all as she grabs the cross bow from the ground. 

Two giant, lizard like beasts suddenly erupt from the tree line. These slender, bipedal creature have a double row of colorful, semicircular crests on top of their heads and a hooked  jaw lined with sharp curved teeth. They stands about as high as a man, but more than 20 feet in length. A horrid screech fills the air from the creatures. Billy and Bobby never stood a chance as the two creatures bite into their flesh tearing the hapless men in two. 

Thorton screams and back pedals and falls onto her backside in terror. The creatures glare at the group of you sensing a further meal.

Here we go!

   Feel free to tell me where your token would rather be. Seemed like most everyone was approaching the wagon when the dino's attacked. 

The first beast charges the downed women and tries to rip the flesh from her bones with it's teeth. Moves to K9

Bite attack: 23 Damage: 7

Agar and Lu can take their turns but if you have a location you would rather your tokens be go ahead and post that do not need to wait for your turn.

The creature rips into the women's flesh. She lies on the ground on the verge of death.

Initiative: Active turns in RED

Lu level's her bow at the creature as it hovers over top the Thorton. Her eyes flash a brilliant, emerald green for just a second. The same green color swirls in a mist around the creature as it is mystical marked. As the green mist dissipates she unleashes her arrow and it flies toward the creatures throat.

Attack: 21 Damage: 4 Hunter's Mark Damage: 5 Dreadful Strike: 1 

Agar was just about to sheathe his sword when the creatures attacked so he reversed his motion and quickly moved to the nearest one, slashing at it.

Attack: 16 Damage: 12 

Lu's arrow digs into the beast's neck just as Agar's sword slices at the beast. Bright red blood pours from both wounds as it howls in rage. (Will move Agar to J10)

The second beast charges Agar as he smells the sweat on his skin. Trying to take a claw through the armor and knock the armored human to the ground.

@Agar Pounce Attack: 11 Damage: 8 Please make a DC13 Str Save. If you fail you will be knocked prone and the dino will try to bite you as a bonus action. 

Bite attack: 8 Damage: 12. If you succeed you stand your ground and the dino ends it's turn.

Jon, Calwin and Sallah are up!

Initiative: Active turns in RED

   • Lu
   • Dipo 2
   • Jon
   • Calwin
   • Sallah

    

Crit die on failed save... Just in case... (I would suggest passing this save :) ) 5

(I think instead I will cast shield and not get pounced. No pounce, no Str save. Bite attack gets through since it's a crit. 9 damage.)

If the pounce misses then the bite attack doesn't happen either. It's a powerful chain attack but it all has to hit or falls apart. Good use of shield. You take no damage.

What does your shield look like when you call it?

Calwin hurries to stand over the woman to protect her and give his companions with healing abilities a chance to tend to her.

He flicks his hands out and dull red darts of force shoot from his finger tips into the dinos, all three thudding into the one right in front of him.

(Each dart does 3.)

 ((Sorry I should have described it. In keeping with Agar's whole shadow theme.))

With the creature lunging at him, hoping to knock him down so they could tear him to pieces no doubt, his choices became few.  One, really. The shadow within. Though he had hoped to keep it a secret as long as possible, getting eaten was too high a price to pay. As he had in his dream, he called on the darkness - and it answered. Shadows all around him became seemingly animated as they flowed toward him and formed a barrier all around him. It wouldn't last long, he knew, and he'd have some explaining to do after this, but at least the creature's lunge was arrested before it could get to him. Neat trick, that, to make shadows solid. Guess anything goes with magic.
