Andar

"Well we are hear, let's check out the cove and see if there are any tidal flats that trap fish and oysters when the tide goes out.  Probably could be a good spot to feed us if nothing else.  And we could use the cove for shelter too.  Would just have to explore it first to make sure there are no unfriendly things in there."

Argus considers Kriv and Andar’s suggestions for a brief moment, ”We should do both. We can explore the cove now and then circle inland to camp.” He likes the idea of a cove as a shelter. Hopefully, it can provide food as Andar suggests.

"A cove.. why, it looks lovely here." She tapped her lip. Truly looked like a place befitting a painting. And a place that could have been lovely to go swimming in, if not for the fact it was probably way too dangerous given the aberrant and savage nature of the inhabitants. She sighed. For now she'd have to be happy with just enjoying the sand and sights, which was just fine.

"Indeed.. no need to hurry back so soon. We have all the time in the world to scrape every inch of this whole island until a ship that doesn't get wrecked happens by."

Kriv steps up in front of the others. "I'll take the lead.". He pulls out his weapon just encase something gets the drop on him and walks swiftly looking for any signs of tracks or anything interesting that the group might be looking for.

”I got your right flank.”, Argus says as he positions himself 5’ behind and to the right of Kriv.

Still looking forward without turning his head, he calls out to Andar and Lenore, ”Kriv is taking point. Andar, cover Kriv’s left flank, like I am but on his left. Lenore, stay behind us with that bow nocked and at the ready.”

Perception check entering the cove. 11:36, Today: Argus Alanai rolled 7 using 1d20+3 ((4)).

Lenore blinked as everyone was readying their arms. "Expecting trouble?" Looking about she didn't notice anything to be out of the ordinary. "..Very well. Suppose this far into unfamiliar territory there's no reason not to be cautious." For what felt like the first time in a long while she felt the rough curve of her old bow and the sinewy length of an arrow around her fingers again.


12:01, Today: Lenore rolled 8 using 1d20+4 ((4)). Perception

Andar moves to the left side and watches the water for anything out of the ordinary (ripples, waves, or reflections).  Holding his quarterstaff at the ready.

"Ready on the right.  Just take it slow."

Kriv looks back to Lenore, "Did you not see those creatures when we ran into Yawgo. My assumption is there are more of them and not all of them are going to friendly."

He continues on looking out for anything that might attack.

”Yes indeed”, Argus says agreeing with Kriv. ”I think it’s safe to assume there’s got to be some beasties here with bigger teeth.”

As the group approaches the cave, it seems to be just that-a cave. It looks like it loops around and goes into the darkness further on as the group checks out the entrance. It seems somewhat save, a small stream flowing from the outside into it.

Kriv notices something and points to the group. "Look! There, there is something in there." he says. "I know I saw something. But I am unsure what. Ready your weapons!" Kriv pulls out his weapons and readies his shield for whatever he just saw hoping it turns out to be nothing.

Argus using an overhand grip places his spear on the spear groove of his shield and points it in the direction that Kriv pointed out and advances 5 feet forward to form a frontline with Kriv.

”Show yourself!”, Argus barks out.

"There is something moving in there. Looks Man sized, but do not attack until they do.  We don't need to make enemies out of someone we don't have to."

He lets his weapon point sag but keeps his shield up.

"Not sure they understand what your saying."

"Hrm.." Lenore stays put, bow lowered, but readied, and watches, more or less letting the others handle the decision making. Hopefully it was nothing.. and it'd proceed to be another day of life lived without a large monster keen on putting a stop to that.

Nothing pops out upon the fighter's request and order. Two creature  stands at the entrance, making cawing sounds but they don't attack.

Spear still pointing forward Argus turns his head quickly in the direction of the two new creatures at the entrance for a fast look at them and then looks back at whatever is in the dark in front of him.

He says to Lenore, “If those two at the entrance become threatening get to the other side of me, I will cover you.”

“Kriv, what next?” , Argus asks.

Kriv looks at the two creatures trying to figure out what they are. He judges their movements with his eyes trying to get an idea of they will be a problem moving past them. He advances towards them with his defenses raised.

OOC: I want to check the creatures for any signs of aggression.
11:34, Today: Kriv Yarjerit rolled 1 using 1d20.  Animal handling. – 1
OH NO! Don't listen to me!

Lenore nodded, frowning somewhat warily as Kriv approached the lizard-like creatures.. but then again, maybe a draconic being would have something in common with them. "Well.. seems like the best person to approach those atleast.." She muttered, eyeing to see what happens next.

Argus notices Kriv moving defensively towards the two new creatures at the entrance. He covers Kriv’s back by walking backwards behind him, still pointing his spear and shield in the same direction towards the creatures inside the cove, just in case.

“Are you going to introduce yourself?”, Argus asks Kriv with a chuckle.

“Andar. Lenore. Stay sharp.”, he says with sudden concern in his voice.

As the creature clamps down on Kriv he looks back to Argus with smile before swiping up with his morning star landing a decisive blow against the creature. "Foul beast, let me introduce you to my wraith." he says swinging the morning star and bring up his shield in defense ready for the next attack.

"Damn.." Well atleast they knew that kind of creature was the one to avoid.. or one to try get rid of straight away.

As agreed upon she ensures to stay near and behind Argus.

She drew an arrow back, taking a few moments to try center it, fingers shaking from the drawstring tension. They weren't the easiest things to hit, but ultimately when the arrow released it struck fairly cleanly. Hopefully that luck kept up. (59/60 shots left)

One of the dinos is hit with the arrow and after the fighter's attack-it looks down at its now bloody chest and collapses. The other dinosaur cawws a few times just as Kriv's morningstar cracks its arm and the cleric fires. The arrow hits it in its head. It takes a few steps back and collapes. It goes silent, eerily silent. The group pauses. Nothing comes out of the entryway or within the confines of the cave.
