He mimes flapping with his arms once they are looking at him, and points in the direction he can hear the dragon coming.
For the record he is point to the north.

Qleceec

Qleceec starts to quietly wake everyone and signals them to be silent and dragon coming. Then she moves to some cover away from others so they can't all get hit with the breath weapon at once.

Raffi quietly gets out some daggers and shifts his position in the tree so he can toss them when the creature closes somewhat.

Siouxsie

If its the last thing I do, I am going to Call Lightening upon the beast.

Need more stormy weather. Time to cook up a gale.

The druid casts Control Winds.

In the Jotens - Second Watch
Moonday, 10th day of Planting, 597
5th day since leaving Loftwick


Qleceec (AC 1, HP 63/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 61/65, Armor 23/26)
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 53/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 48/48)
Garrant (AC 8, HP 49/50)
Hex (AC 0, HP 26/27, Armor 8/8)
Raffi (AC -1, HP 21/21, Armor 8/8)
Boff (AC 5, HP 48/61)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 16/26)


Raffi sitting up in his tree hisses quietly to get the others attention and then he flaps his arms pointing to the north when the Nah Olos and Qleceec start to react he draws two daggers.

Nah Olos draws his bastard sword (since it would not make sense to draw your crossbow) and heads for the northern edge of the camp.

Qleceec tries to wake everyone, and starts with Siouxsie and Garrant. (Those two are awake at this point)

Before any other actions are possible four Shtelke fly over the camp at a height of about 60' and each drop a large rock (about double the diameter of a bowling ball). Those rocks are targeting Qleceec (x2), Boff (sleeping) and Frannie (sleeping). Qleceec manages to avoid both rocks, but Boff is woken up with a rock crashing into him for 13 HP of damage and Frannie is similarly struck for 10 HP of damage.

At this point only Hex and Androgost . Please roll 3d6 to wake up on your own (low is good). Androgost does wake up from the noise and the roll is pending for Hex.

Everyone can take an action now (which I assume that Siouxsie wants to start casting Control Winds.) and Hex is subject to the roll or being woken up by someone.

Hex

Raffi, if he is in 30’ range up the tree, throws his two daggers as the back of one of the dragon creatures as it flies by.

If not, he will remain hidden and waiting.

Androgost

Noticing that Hex still is sleeping, Androgost wakes him up. Both will be able to act normally next round.

Boff, partially stunned by the boulder that has smashed into him, grabs for his nearby bow and looses two arrows at the Shtelke flying overhead. While shouting for Frannie to take cover.


Short Bow [1d20+2]=16+2=18 Damage [1d6]=3
Short Bow [1d20+2]=15+2=17 Damage [1d6]=4

Frannie, severely wounded, focuses on one of the Shtelke flying overhead and holds forth her holy symbol of Dumathoin, channeling her god's protective power as she looks at the creature and shouts Die! in common. Using Command, which is her last L1 spell until a full night. With any luck, if it fails the save, it will at least take some fall damage. She'll then take Boff's advice and try to find cover.

Siouxsie

Siouxsie launches Javelin of Piercing [1d20+6]=20+6=26 [1d6+6]=3+6=9

Sets one of her enchanted shafts in the ground, angled at a flying creature overhead, triggering it into flight with the words "Kebab it!"

In the Jotens - Second Watch
Moonday, 10th day of Planting, 597
5th day since leaving Loftwick


Qleceec (AC 1, HP 63/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 61/65, Armor 23/26)
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 53/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 48/48)
Garrant (AC 8, HP 49/50)
Hex (AC 0, HP 26/27, Armor 8/8)
Raffi (AC -1, HP 21/21, Armor 8/8)
Boff (AC 5, HP 48/61)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 16/26)


Qleceec fires two normal arrows from his mended bow, both arrows are true sticking in.

Androgost spent his time waking up Hex.

Nah Olos attempts to Hide in the Shadows of the north end of the clearing.

Siouxsie launches one of her precious magic javelins. The javelin skewers the Shtelke critically hitting it for 15 points of damage and killing it. It falls south of the camp.

Garrant takes cover moving to the southern side of the clearing.

Hex is awakened by this mess (with the help of Androgost).

Raffi considers throwing his daggers, but realizes they are out of range and holds instead in his tree (about 12' high) on the west side of the clearing.

Boff lands two shots on the same one that Qleceec hit causing that Shtelke to fall from the sky as well. It falls south of the camp.

Frannie takes cover to the east (by the entrance/exit to the clearing)

The four Shtelke continue past the the group and out of sight (two of these of course having fallen from the sky and two continuing to fly)

No other hostile action is taken against the group this action.

The group is free to action again, but no targets are currently visible.

Siouxsie

Goes to check on the fallen Sheltke so that we can catch or restrain preferably any offspring that emerge from the carcass.

Correction to my previous post - I had an error on Frannie's post. She cast a Command to "Die" on one more of the Sheltke, causing a third one to fall from the sky.

Nah Olos sheaths his sword and gets his crossbow, loading a +2 bolt; then he scans the sky for movement.

Hex awakens with the cavalier looming over him and his hand over the gnomes mouth.
Seeing the shadowy flap of wings and focussing on the building battle, the illusionist nods his understanding and rolls off to his side and feet. He sees the dragon men disappear from the trees and rushes over for cover.

He searches for Raffi, calling for the halfling quietly until he sees the heat of the little thief in the trees.

He will hide behind a sturdy trunk, his paralysing magic at his fingertips in case there are any more incoming.

The halfling remains where he is, hiding in the tree with his daggers at the ready.

Garrant remains under the tree, looking for signs of a suitable target for his spells, either a dragon in the sky or creatures moving through the trees.

In the Jotens - Second Watch
Moonday, 10th day of Planting, 597
5th day since leaving Loftwick


Qleceec (AC 1, HP 63/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 61/65, Armor 23/26)
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 53/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 48/48)
Garrant (AC 8, HP 49/50)
Hex (AC 0, HP 26/27, Armor 8/8)
Raffi (AC -1, HP 21/21, Armor 8/8)
Boff (AC 5, HP 48/61)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 16/26)


Siouxsie runs to the south looking through trees to find on of the downed Sheltke with the hopes of catching or restraining any offspring. She does make it to one of the offspring. She can see some young are moving but have not yet exited the creature.

Qleceec is not far behind hoping to shoot the one that was downed by the Command spell. It to takes some time to find this Sheltke up in the trees. She does have time to fire one arrow (for 2 HP damage)

Androgost spends his time looking around holding his trusted sword. Nah Olos does a similar action holding his crossbow loaded with a magical bolt. Garrant is also looking for a suitable target for his magic.

Raffi stays in his tree with Hex moving to the base of the same tree.

Boff and Frannie unsure of what to do continue to look around.

Could all players please roll [_4d6] (please note that the "_" is important). Please note that there will be feedback before your NEXT action. I am hoping to post this in the next 24 hours so I may end up rolling for some if they do not have the time.

Map
Please note that the scale is 10' squares
The names with a green circle are the location LAST round and without the circle is the current location.
