"I forgot," the Kobold turns around suddenly.
"Humans don't see well at at night." She reaches into her small pack and produces an unlit torch and a tindertwig, lighting it quickly before offering it up to arsolf.
"To help see. My name is Nik-Nak." she says, before taking the lead again.
You follow her for an hour or two in the dark, her red eyes glancing back at you occasionally. You're only able to follow her by sound, as she walks just outside of torchlight, though Drenza can see her just fine. Soon, though she stops, and motions for you to do the same. She's looking to the left.
She points in that direction.
"Listen, look. Something's coming." You all look in the direction Nik-Nak points.
Arsolf and Layla see nothing but darkness, but Layla hears the sounds of twigs snapping and underbrush getting moved, alerting her to the presence of
something.
Chaiket and Drenza can see what's moving towards the group plain as day; A small
thing comprised of twigs and leaves, held together in a roughly humanoid shape, with two other even smaller versions, appearing as crude dolls made of leaves, walking on twigs, on either side of their larger companion. They are 60 feet out.
Everyone glances back to where Nik-Nak was, but she appears to have disappeared.
COMBAT INITIATE
Drenza, Layla and Chaiket get to act this round. Layla does not know the location of the animated objects yet.
Animated Object 1
[20 + 1] 21
Chaiket
[8 + 7] 15
Nik-Nak
[11 + 3] 14
Drenza
[12] 12
Animated Object 2,3
[4 + 2] 6
The small animated object, ahead of its other friends, moves up to Arsolf and swings a limb at the man holding a torch,
but the twigs and leaves brush against his armor, off-balance from the move just made.Chaiket's turn.
