((If you want to try to grab them, it'll be a DEX (Sleight of Hand), that'll cover being fast and sneaky enough to nab them. They're kitten sized, so not really a matter of muscling them around, more about getting hands on them.))

ah

distance/ perception (11)?

Liber went back to the first room to check it, he doesn't know that Mialee has spotted one where she is, as she's two rooms away. 

Jaq will continue on in the lead, scouting a bit.  He will try to be quiet and hidden (stealth: 12) and he will try to watch for any movement or any other traps. Perception: 15

(That totally posted in the wrong game...sigh   Sorry.)

An elf wanders onto the floor of the arena before looking around in confusion and vanishing.

Mixtli uses the last few seconds of the round to add some spices to the beans.

(do i see anything?)

Liber returns to the first room and looks around, not spotting any caterpillars.

Waiting on M's round 4, unless I missed it. Also busy week for me, so may be slower on posting.

ooc: sorry I haven't posted much recently, rough week

Mialee moves to the couch and quickly and gently bundles it into her loose outer shirt, then holding it in place with one arm runs to the unopened door and opens it. (If she can't manage to catch the caterpillar, she stays by the couch and follows the caterpillar if it tries to run away.)

Sleight of Hand: 22

OOC: Seems a lot of that is going around...the rough week.

((I should be able to get updates for this and my other games in the next day or so, my crazy week is behind me, but helping a friend pack up stuff in a trailer to move today, so not going to be next to a computer for a good portion of it.))

The Prawn Battle tent erupts in cheers as Sid hollers above then din, "THEY DID IT! TWO BATCHES PREPPED IN UNDER FORTY SECONDS! THEY DID IT!"

Prasong stands up woozily and using his good hand, raises Tanador's arm up, jumping up and down, "Let's goooo! Leeet'ss goooo!" 

The blood loss catches up to him and he staggers into Tanador as he let's his arm drop. "Wow, you guys are awesome! Sorry I wasn't more help, you probably coulda done three if you had a second one of any of you! It's an honor to have fought at your side."

He seems to have forgotten that his battle was against green tree beans, and that he lost.

Sid continues talking you up, and some cold drinks and towels are brought for you (though mostly for Trencher), as the sous chefs get the prawns out of the tank, quickly butchered and added to the woks with the other ingredients, and you are all treated to the first batch of shrimpcakes, which are every bit as good as their reputation claims, perhaps more so for your hands (almost literally, in Prasong's case) in their preparation. The crowd is all treated to the product of your efforts as they depart as part of their entrance fee to see your attempt, and there is general milling about and congratulating of you by folks of various sorts.

Sid speaks an aside to you four, "For the night, at least, you're the big heroes! Let them see your faces, let them live a bit of excitement just from having seen your success!"

Mialee moves carefully to the couch and scoops up the caterpillar, where it wanders up her arm and nestles in against her hair. 

She heads back towards the other door, and heads through it, revealing a new room beyond. There is more of the accustomed clutter, some barrels, a couch, a stuffed chair, but also some lumber and large crates or boxes draped in tarpaulins. 

((Used up her Round 4 movement getting across the room, has used 10 of her Round 5 movement, so has 25 ft left, as well as action))

Round 5 (30 seconds elapsed)

Caterpillar B: 19
Caterpillar A: 12
Liber: 11   <---<<
Mialee: 9  <---<<
Caterpillar C: 6
Caterpillar D: 5

"Wow, great job, all of you."   Trencher pats Tanador and Mixtli on the back then sees the blood on the other guy, (Tander? he thinks) and asks, "What happened, what did he have to fight?"

Trencher is very happy with how good the food is, and without caring that he is really still wet, asks for a second helping.

After eating he will towel himself off some more and then mingle with the crowd in any of them are talkative about the event, as he is still pretty pumped up about the fun fight.

If no one actually approaches him from the crowd with comments he will go up and start them instead.  "Yeah!  I never fought in water before.  It was neat.   Bit harder to swing my axe, but it still bit deep!  Did it look cool?  Was water splashing everywhere??"

liber moves through the rooms, looking as he goes.

15 perception

6 investigation

Mixtli seems very proud of what they achieved and receives the congrats and will join in the after talks after having enjoyed the shrimpcakes.

The crowd is very enthusiastic about the performance at the Prawn Battle, and lots of words like 'legendary', 'historic' and 'phenomenal' get thrown around. Sid insists that you eat as much as you want of the shrimpcakes you helped produce, and seems to be doing a brisk business of folks purchasing additional servings, just to be able to hang out with the three... four Shrimpening Champions.

Liber moves into the second room and looks around, but doesn't see any caterpillars.

((It's your action to either use Perception or Investigation to see if there's a caterpillar in the room. The lantern also only casts dim light, so while it allows Liber to see, his checks are at disadvantage, same as Mialee's without the lantern. If the lantern is in the same room as Mialee, she'll be able to make checks without disadvantage.))

Round 5 (30 seconds elapsed)

Caterpillar B: 19
Caterpillar A: 12
Liber: 11   
Mialee: 9  <---<< (10 ft used)

He seems to have forgotten that his battle was against green tree beans, and that he lost.

Tandor's suspicions flare hot and he grabs Prasong in a tight grip under the arm, right by the armpit, ostensibly to hold him up.  His other hand goes immediately to check the package under his armor is still there.

{If the package is there}
Assuming it is, he leaves his hand on it and says to Prasong, "You were very...enthusiastic...Prasong.  I'm sorry you were hurt.  Let me help." Then he murmurs a few words and calls on Pelor to heal the man.  After he joins Trencher and Mixtli to enjoy their victory and the food.

"Sid, these are excellent!  And, of course we won.  We're the best!" and he gives the other two a high five, though he never does forget to keep an eye out for anyone trying to take the package.

{If the package is missing}
He hisses into Prasong's ear, "Return the package, my fumble fingered friend, or the prawns won't be the only things to feel my friend's axe!"  He then tries to catch the attention of Trencher and Mixtli, signaling he needs help.

liber uses investigation.

Liber didn't find any caterpillars in this room, perhaps Mialee did a good enough job searching?

((Since you rolled twice anyway, that takes care of the disadvantage, so you rolled a 6 and a 13, with a +3 from Investigation.))

Mialee moves to the northernmost door and opens it, before scanning the room she is in and anything she can see of the next room for a caterpillar.

rerolled in game log, got an 11 (perception)
