Gek'k finds himself feeling ill and overcome by the stench and he is sickened.

Surprise Round ...

The pebbly texture and coloring of troglodytes make them perfect for hiding against rocky terrain, and a troglodyte appears next to Gek'k ... surprising him. The grippli monk's training takes over and some. He takes the first claw for 6, barely blocks the second, but easily moves into a rhythm against the third. Rezah, on the other hand, is nonplussed by the smell. He is a half-orc that was born and raised in a city with more than its fair share of rotten sewage and garbage, and his own heritage steels against the stench. Speaking of steel, his protection is made of brawny metal, and despite some solid attempts the troglodyte that attempts to attack him fails to connect.

A big troglodyte wearing the same spiraling tentacle symbol has a big pet monster by his side. He yells out in Taldane with a hissing accent, "You dare to attack me?!"

He looks to the pet monster and sends it to attack the little one (Gek'k). The big troglodyte (presumably Uggilo), then casts a spell on himself.

10: Gek'k: Gek'k, these monsters inhabit the swamps, and they are called log-lizards .... very powerful and dangerous animals. Civilized long-shanks refer to them as crocodiles.

Lilim and Rezah ... these Large monsters are long and powerful looking, with oversized mouths that look like they could bite a man's leg clean off! What the hell is this thing?!

The long reptile speeds forth to charge Gek'k with its powerful mouth and bites him for 11. Though it looks like it could snatch him up, the grippli is badly hurt but manages to keep from getting held in its mouth.

End Surprise Round, Begin Round 1 ...

R1T21: Teofilo takes out a wand and tries to cast on himself, but he is too sick to focus.

R1T20: The big reptile looks like it should have been lumbering, but its surprising sprint and now its reflexes are surprising. Gek'k's monastic training blocks the bite, but then the log-lizard whips its tail to hit Gek'k squarely for 13! Gek'k is now in the yellow.

R1T17: "Gods dammit!" Dorit curses, her great fortitude failing her once again as she succumbs to the stench. She steps up to the troglodyte fighting to Rezah's side. "Anyone else notice these guys are tougher than the last bunch?"

She gives in to a battle rage. She swings with her shield, but she fails spectacularly .... enough to lose the rest of her attacks this round.

R1T16: Ichibod concentrates and something happens to the party .... except for each of you, the world around you seems to slow down.

R1T15: Gek'k's trog grazes him for 5 with a claw, but things are getting dire for the little guy. Likewise, a claw scratches Rezah for 6.

R1T14: Hülya whispers "Gek'k" in concern. She bravely steps past Lilim to her side, and defensively casts CLW on him for 12, a great boon for the wounded grippli.

R1T8: Uggilo casts a spell on his warhammer.

R1T7: Finally, Lilim gathers her wits. Hülya is to your L, a trog FL, and Gek'k in front. The large lizard thing takes up the space behind both in front of both Gek'k and Rezah. Uggilo is 45' from you. What do you do?
