No traps in the corridor or on the door that she can find. When she opens the door, it is into a crowded room that smells of salted meats. It is lit by a glowing crystal ball attached to the ceiling high above… somehow. A small wooden table sits in the middle of the room, surrounded by several chairs, in the corner of the room is a wooden desk with a plaque on top of it reading, "Zando- Office Manager". Stacked against the far wall are several dozen crates and barrels, labeled "Meat". Two creatures are struggling to tip over one of the barrels. They are three feet tall, with bodies like men and heads like bulls.
"Oh, no!" Culum says, catching sight of the creatures. "Minitaurs!"
Alora quickly closes the door. What she does now depends a bit on where the rest of the party are. If they are with her she will run and hide behind the fighter types and use her sling if the minitaurs attack. If the party is lagging behind she will attempt to lock the door by driving an iron spike in to keep it closed.
If this isn't possible she will run back to the party shouting "Sharks and Cows! Sharks and Cows!"
"SHARKS AND COWS!" Alora shouts in an exasperated tone.
Under her voice, Jaheira muttered, "What is she going on about?" She was, by this time, growing weary of the nonsense from the cake-eating mini-thief. Still, the sound of her voice was a little panicked and frustrated. "What is it, oh Omni-present Authority Figure?"
There is a clanking sound from behind everyone… (In front of Alora). She sees the iron gate opening in the gaps between the other characters. You slowly turn (or maybe it just seems to be slow) to see the three sharks "standing up" on their hind fins and coming through the door.
Land Sharks, indeed. They get initiative. Two of them attack Khalid (one misses) and one of them attacks Minsc.
"LAND SHARK!" they yell as they bite down on their victims. Minsc takes 4 damage, and Khalid takes 5.
I knew those were Bulletes, I just knew it! They were simply taking a bath!
Jan tries to get to a position from where he can easily aim at the sharks, without having someone else in the line of fire. Then he starts shooting at the sharks with his crossbow.
OOC: is Jan already outside the corridor? He doesn't feel very comfortable being closed in there, with the possibility of minitaurs coming in from the other side and no spells left
Aerie is startled at the appearance of the land sharks, and upon seeing Minsc go berserk, she ducks down and wraps her arms around Culum to protect him and hopefully move him to safety.
*Anomen takes a defensive stance with his shield and mace. He will let Alora, Aerie, and Culum to get behind him and will attack any of the sharks that get close.*
Jaheira responds with shield and club, as Entangle will not help. "For the fallen!" She silently hopes a mage will put these beasts to sleep to make matters easier.
Comments
Alora goes down the corridor searching for traps. She then searches for traps on the door before opening it.
"Oh, no!" Culum says, catching sight of the creatures. "Minitaurs!"
If this isn't possible she will run back to the party shouting "Sharks and Cows! Sharks and Cows!"
"What? Is there a griffin about?"
*Upon hearing Alora screaming sharks and cows, in a very annoyed voice*
What now?
What is there not to understand?
She has started to think Anomen may be a bit slow on the uptake.
Land Sharks, indeed. They get initiative. Two of them attack Khalid (one misses) and one of them attacks Minsc.
"LAND SHARK!" they yell as they bite down on their victims. Minsc takes 4 damage, and Khalid takes 5.
Actions?
Jan tries to get to a position from where he can easily aim at the sharks, without having someone else in the line of fire. Then he starts shooting at the sharks with his crossbow.
If she can't spike this door she will run back into the cavern and try to spike the door that says 'Employees Only'.
(Sometimes sharks infest computer networks… the dreaded LAN shark.)
OOC: isn't that the Wireshark? Also, hope Alora won't close the door while Jan is still in the corridor.
Alora engages the sharks with her trusty sling. (She will attempt to spike the door next round once Jan and Cullum get out of the corridor)
OOC Yes I'm going berserk
*Anomen takes a defensive stance with his shield and mace. He will let Alora, Aerie, and Culum to get behind him and will attack any of the sharks that get close.*
Her target is the one that attacked Khalid.
