(I'll also point out that none of you ever saw the man who summoned the monster as you arrived late for that. Just to make sure you keep in game knowledge in check)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The monsterous shale behemoth does not notice the arrival of the heroes to the battle and it is quite perplexed when Barathion is shunted out of harms way by a woman on horseback eager to attack the monster. None the less its summoning was quite clear on what it needed to do and it would deal with the interlopers as best as it possibly can. Its a touch slow to react however as everyone seems to have the upper hand upon it for the moment which may make all the difference between life and death. Not just for Barathion but for themselves as well.<br/><br/><strong>(FIGHT!) </strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Perception Check Failed.<br/>Initiative Roll: 16<br/><br/>(The lot of you now have a surprise round. After which we all go onto Round 1. On count 16 of Initiative of Round 1 the monster will act. Good luck.)
