[[ for the perception I am going to roll it with the given DC, though I will note that Xarces has dark vision 60 feet, so darkness alone would not effect his vision]]<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/125348">Dungeoneering</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+4</span><span style="font-weight: bold">19</span>x.x soo close<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/125349">Perception</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+7</span><span style="font-weight: bold">25</span>Passed it anyways<img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/><br/><br/>Laying in wait, just inside the interior of a poison dusk hut Xarces listens for the sound of any approaching footsteps, muscles taut as he is prepared to skewer, slice, and stab the moment a scaled figure makes it's way around the corner. But such a figure would not seem to come, as the only sound he hears is that of his own heart pumping with adrenaline. (Hmm guess they are too scared....) he assumes as he lets his guard down only slightly to turn to see what Shaklik was rummaging through. "So this is where you lived then?, not this hut particularly but?" he asks in a hushed voice, looking to the simplicity of the structure, taking a small moment to admire the place that his partner had likely lived most of if not all of her life.<br/><br/>She returns with a container of sorts, shaking it as she explains it to be deathcap juice. her blush brings a smile to his face, despite them being involved in an active combat. "Your adorable when you blush you know that...." he offers, though soon returns to the matter at hand "That should come in handy, that was very potent poison......is your kind effected as I was?" he asks wondering if they could perhaps use this to their advantage in order to quickly dispatch of the other poison dusks around them. "Perhaps you could coat my sword, and dagger with a dose my sweet?" he asks drawing his dagger and wielding it in his left hand as he holds both out to her in the event the poison would prove useful.<br/><br/>A crash is soon heard from the adjacent huts the lizardfolk had recently hid behind. (The hell is that?) he wonders, as his initial fear makes it to be the priestess herself smashing huts in order to find and devour them, though as he peers from the entrance he realizes this was simply his imagination (Spent too much time in shaklik's belly....) he accounts these fears to with a light chuckle. Xarces looking to the huts he can notices movement, as if light was filtering in from a newly created hole. (so they aim to hide in wait as well?) he thinks to himself. "Over there...within the huts, they lurk..." he speaks softly to Shaklik letting her know what was happening as he was not certain if she could see in the darkness as easily as he. Though he would soon mutter an incantation, his markings flare as a spark ignites the thatched roof of one of the two occupied huts, aiming to set fire to it. "Hiding in your homes will not save you, for you shall all be burnt to ash before the night is over!" he declares hoping to force the group from their huts, cause them to attack, or better yet flee all together,  and with any luck enable him to ambush them in the process. (So long as we can limit our engagement to a few at a time, we should fair well...) he tells himself.<br/><br/>As he looks to see what reaction the fire causes, he makes certain not to present a suitable target to be fired upon. His ears soon catching the cry of some monster off in the not so far distance, in the direction he knew his allies to be located. (Shit.....that doesn't sound good at all.....come on little poison dusks....come and die and let me help them..) he thinks as if mentally speaking such thoughts would suddenly cause his enemies to impale themselves on his blades.<br/><br/>[<span style="font-style: italic"> Move action: </span>draw dagger/ present weapons for potential poisoning<span style="font-style: italic"> Standard Action: </span>cast spark onto one of the huts to set fire to it ]]
