A31: A Not So Tasty Meal

The bodies of two troglodytes lie on the floor, obviously suffocated to death.

Everyone can roll initiative. The creatures don't seem to have noticed you yet, so Talbot will be the only one going in the surprise round.

"AGH!"

I promptly adjust my nice-smelling hanky over my face, and start strumming away at my mandolin, attempting to warn everyone.

I said the little leatherwing bat
I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight.

I can see your heart is tired
And your courage has worn thin
You wonder how long you will have to hang on
But when My love comes in, you'll be strong again!

Inspire Courage!"

I'll also maneuver however I can to give the bruisers enough room to get in there at the bat-things.

...Uh, just how many of these bat-things are we talking about? Here's a few identification rolls, too:

Knowledge(Arcana): 7+7=14
Knowledge(Dungeoneering): 8+7=15
Knowledge(History): 3+7=10 [had to try it]
Bardic Knowledge: 5+8=13

[Okay, that was atrocious. Carry on.]

The only thing you really know about these bat things is that you think they are the same bat things you saw before, the ones that suck blood.

Btw, how are you, holding the hanky on your face and strumming your mandolin? :)

**I think Jug'Jug is here too, right?**

Jug'Jug is here, but she's coloring in her coloring book again.

Everyone else is reading down the hall.

**Cool, just wanted to make sure that everyone knew what was happening, especially JUG'JUG whose HELP would be nice to have. :)**

"Sir Lugh!

Look up - Look down
Look out - Look around
So don't look up - Look down
There's a crazy world outside!"

I loudly declare that my blood is horrid and watery and very sour-tasting - maybe they'll get the hint.

As far as the hanky/mandolin combo goes, just imagine someone holding the top of the mandolin in the crook of his left elbow, while the left hand keeps the hanky covering his face and the right hand strums away.

Barring all that, I jam pieces of the hanky up my nose or something to hold it up there. :) (No, this is NOT dignified at all.)

Well, nothing says you have to play the mandolin well for the effect to work, so that will work for you.

Anyone else will have to either take minuses if they are attempting to hold the hanky in place and do something else with 2 hands at the same time. Or face the possibility of losing the cloth if they are not holding it.

[Oh, forgot to roll initiative.

15+2 = 17

Whee!]
