Ahhh, I love being the DM.

Anyways:
Turn 3-----Zuko + Kairy-----
Walking over, the fishermen hear your conversation, but can't understand it.
Instead, one of them stands himself up using a cane and ask
"What can we do for ya?"
"Yes, we're hunting Murkals. We'd like some bait" States Kairy, Zuko still a little down.
"Bait! Ha! You hardly need to waste it!" Says the old man.
"All ya need to do it throw some stones in the water. That ought to stir them up. Use big stones though, else you might miss 'em."
As the man tells you this, the other fishermen had quickly packed up and are now hastily walking towards town.
"See ya!" Says the old man as he wobbles off briskly.
There are plenty of stones, all of varying sizes across the riverbank.

Wes+Bazyli-------
"Very well, Bazyli, our mission is important! Let's go to the tent!" states Wes.

The two of you enter the tent, to which the miner is sitting criss-cross applesauce spoons in the bowl. (I had to use that phrase) And he says "So, ya need some mining equipment does ya?" He says, one of his eyes looking at the ground while the other looks at Bazyli. "Well, I just so happen to be the quartemaster, and I can get ya them. But what I need from ya is some nice and fine spice. None 'o that cheap stuff either! Give me a bag full and I'll supply ya with 5 ropes, 3 with attached hooks, some torches, oil, and a shovel. Sound good?"

Razuna---------- (6)
You climb the tallest tree you can find. Or at least you would of, if the tallest tree didn't happen to be covered in a suspicious, grainy blue sap. It's odor is strong and luckily you notice it before you start climbing! This stuff smells very spicey. You take a step as to turn, and you step on a glass jar! Ouch! You get a shard stuck in your foot, but you notice many other jars, some with scoops.
You also notice that the birds have gone silent.

Turn 4-------Wes+Bazyli-------

The miner grows quiet at this. His expression annoyed. He then talks slowly as if to a child "Spice.... screw it, I want the blue sap that's found on them trees in the forest. Then I shall give you what you want."

Zuko + Kairy-----
Kairy loads her crossbow and takes up a position on top of a small hill in the brush.

Zuko finds an average rock and chucks it as far as he can. The show of the rock causes more ripples, and with a SPLASH the rock sinks.
Nothing happens. Zuko tries again, remembering the fisherman's words.
After the fifth rock, Zuko get's annoyed. He picks up the largest rock he can and lobs it into the center of the river.
There were no ripples. Instead, when the large rock sunk below the surface of the water, a large portion of the creek starts bubbling! Zuko takes out his sword and readies, Kairy Takes aim.
Three murkals surface! One on the left, in front and the right! Each one, a slimey, scaled creature who's head resembles that of a medusa. With a spiked tail the one on the left sends quills flying at Zuko while the other two start gurgling and their throats bulge!

What do?

Razuna----------

You take the shard out and after a short grunt you rip some cloth off yourself and rap it around your foot. The blood soaks through a bit. You hide behind the sticky tree and wait.
After a few moments, you hear the shrill shriek of a rabbit. and various ravenous noises as if it's getting teared apart. It's a pack of Feralls! There is 7 of them, and another split from the group to dive on another rabbit! The rabbit has a bit of his fur torn off and it bolts past you! The Ferall watches it's escape and notices you behind the tree. The other 6 Feralls, finished feeding on the tiny rabbit also take note of you. They begin to growl and look as if they're ready to pounce!

What do?

Kairy: Being swarmed by Murkals! Crossbow ready. Advantageous position! All skills ready.
Zuko: Being swarmed by Murkals! Quills being launched at you! Taken by surprise slightly! All skills ready.

Wound on your foot! You can't run!

Turn 5 Hour 2--------Zuko + Kairy---------
Attempt to avoid the quils
4
Reacting quickly you dodge the quils with a quick side step and
retaliate with Dark Fire!

author=Kairy
I aim carefully at the head of the Murkal that fires quills at Zuko and try to shoot it right in the face.

6!
Zuko dodges the quills and you place one bolt into the head of the murkal! Too bad Zuko also retaliated with darkfire! He burns the Murkal's corpse to ashes with it leaving no scales!

The two gurgling Murkals spit dangerous acid from their mouths! one at Zuko, and the other at Kairy! As all this happens, four more Murkals surface, but they're too far away to do anything just yet!
4- Kairy loads her crossbow quickly and is ready to shoot!
STATUS: Zuko: Being swarmed by Murkals! DANGEROUS ACID is being spewed at you! Darkfire on cooldown. All other skills ready!
Kairy: Being swarmed by Murkals! Crossbow reloaded- 9 bolts left. DANGEROUS ACID is being spewed at you, but you PERC it's unlikely to hit you. Zuko is being spewed at!
Murkals: ??? Left! One burnt to a crisp! Two have ACID SPEW on cooldown! Four more approach, however they can't do anything yet.
RAZUNA---------

author=Razuna
I'll hold my position behind the tree, weapons ready,
And if the ferrals get too close, I'll slice their throats.

You roll a 5!
Two Feralls charge at you! Luckily they have to go around the tree, and you use your dual gladius to slit both of their throats! They land with a thud and the other 6 split up into half and make a wide berth around the tree on both sides. Soon, they're in front of you and are ready to charge, but you spy two figures in the distance....
Razuna: Surrounded by Feralls that are ready to charge! Foot injured! You cannot run! Two dead feralls next to you. Two figures in the distance.... All Skills Ready.
Feralls: 6 left. Ready to charge.
Wes + Bazyli---------
Both of you exit the tent and head for the forest. "It's awfully quite for a forest...." states Bazyli. After a short treck you hear the shrill shriek of a rabbit! "Egads! Sounds like an animal is in trouble! It wouldn't be very righteous to let it die!" Wes declares as he heads off towards the noise.
Soon, they spot Razuna being surrounded by 6 Feralls with two dead next to him!
He's also in front of a tree with grainy blue sap covering it.
What do you do!?

Wes: All skills ready. Bazyli: All skills ready.
