Gallia Campaign 1

Quote from Whitehart79 >>

Gniff too spins around to try and glimpse whatever it was, a prayer to Silvanus on his lips should it be an aggressive beast or plant that he could calm.

Perception: 3

 (OOC: no perception check needed, sildar has pointed out the creature, so you know its location. is a prayer all your are doing on your turn?)

(OOC: Basically seeing if it is an aggressive animal or plant to then possibly try my channel ability. So I guess he readies an action.)

(OOC: you all can see the creature, here is a picture of what it looks like. creature )

(OOC: for Misty, you see a monstrous creature with terrible talons and a single great eye. its eye gleaming with a hint at a weird intelligence and unnerving malevolence.)

(OOC: @ everyone, i will let you have one more chance to reconsider your move. [DM's comment, im not saying you guys are doing the wrong move, i just want to make sure you know what decision you are making before you commit.)

 Gniff is startled at the unnatural appearance of the creature and squeaks just a little as he backs up a step. Deciding to switch up his methods he places his melee weapons on the ground at his feet and pulls out his shortbow but hesitates briefly. In a loud voice he calls out in common, "Wha, what are you? Do you understand me!?"

Misty, seeing the strange creature, holds up her rapier, but takes a dodge action, not sure who or what this thing is as of yet.

Player comment:  Oh yeah, one big eyeball?  For Gerrack that is definitely open fire time.  A bit of roleplay though for flavor:

"... the eye... THE EYE!  NEVER AGAIN!"  Gerrack fires his bow.

Gimble will still go after his daggers and bolts. “I won’t be able to do much without these,” he says as he hustles to retrieve his items.

Branch will keep what he did of healing Sildar and moving away and taking the dodge action
