Binder's Hold and the Problem with the Mine.

Test link.

The other picture works, but not the one I wanted to use :p

Well, nothing much to see except for water...  the two tunnels that led from the Fungus area led to this beach on the Underdark sea.   The beach is on the south side and the wall of the vast cavern extends out to west and east beyond sigh. To the north lies endless briny water.

OOC - I wonder if the picture format was not usable and needed to be converted to a JPEG or other usable format.  Sometime's I open a picture with paint and then save it as a JPEG or similar to post the link from an image sight.

IC - Aegnor makes sure Skelly is still with him and Shadow as they start moving towards the beach.  He stays within 60 ft of Skelly to keep it moving towards the beach.  He'll watch the others and change coarse if they look like they're going a different direction.

Beast speech, "Good boy Shadow.  Let's make sure Skelly gets on the beach too."

Vanja wades into the water. She gulps a little when the water gets up to her nostrils, but ducks her head under with a grim expression. She rises to the surface again, spluttering. "It works! I can breathe down there!"

Ravager pulls up the hood of her cloak to gain the speed.  She submerged & looks around.  Any footprints or signs of direction?

Sorry for the delay, I live right in the path of Hurricane Hillary in Southern California, been spending the last 2 days preparing for it.  Been exhausted each night.  it will probably be a few days before I can post again.  Posting the next encounter map for you to peruse in the meantime.

Best wishes for you all concerned.

 Best of luck - see you when you have time and headspace. 

Guile sits a moment on the beach, "Shall we collect ourselves before 'diving in'?  I'd like to recover some mana and we've got a few wounded.  Those that can swim and track, see if you can pick up the trail."

(Ravager (and Bridgette?) have been swimming around looking for a trail)

Bridgette would be happy to go ahead and join Ravager for a swim... she's got her cap of water breathing and can even cast spells down there, so she's good.

The area is pitch black so only Darkvision is in effect here.  Bridgette, as she enters the water and swims towards her comrade, sees the above large creature swimming rapidly towards Ravager.  It is 90' from Bridgette and 85' from Ravager. 

Roll Initiative.

Bridgette Initiative: 9

Creature init: 1

(Does Ravager get a perception roll to see this?)

Outside of her Darkvison range of 60', Bridgette has 120' from her feat Eyes of the Dark.

Vanja is still splashing in the shallows marvelling at the water breathing. She notices the other two getting ready for a fight and stands up, pulling out her crossbow from the pack she left on the beach.

Initiative (maybe for the second round if it took her an action to get out of the water and pick up the bow)

23

(initiative was 20 before I edited the post)
