<strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>Given that the woman had decided not to press her attack, the half-celestial's ruthlessness seemed to dampen somewhat. He nodded as Ellen spoke, keeping his eyes upon the Genasi.<br/><br/>He craned his neck to the side, rubbing it as she spoke further. "I'll... try to explain." He offered before lifting his voice, "Siioooooo! Uhh, Lalo ven thoo, uh..."<br/><br/>Rathael seemed more at a loss for finding the right words to convince her than he was for finding the right words to speak her language at all. After he was finished speaking, the woman paused for a very long moment... she lowered her head down to the griffon's, likely to speak to it. It turned, heading straight for the ghost and her companion.<br/><br/>The woman slipped one foot free from a stirrup, and then the other. A moment later, she pushed off of the beast to leap forth towards the adventurers. The Genasi had apparently maintained her concentration upon the levitation as she dismounted her saddle, a feat likely impossible to perform under the stress of being thrown from it.<br/><br/>She floated before the the two, short spear still in hand as she glared at the man and woman. The griffon circled nearby, apparently unwilling to fly too far away from its' master. Rathael scratched the back of his head, differing to Ellen's judgement as to how to proceed next.<br/><br/><strong>Leander</strong><br/><br/>Leander got all the way to his armor and scythe when he saw... something in the corner of his eye. From the hole in the wall, he caught a glimpse of a human... And another right next to her! A man and a woman, barely any more clothed than the fully nude elf and his own female companion were... She was topless, though her body was completely painted, the back of her arms a dark orange with black circles aligned edge to edge, flanked by filled-in circles on each side. Upon her underarms and exposed breasts and belly, pure white. Were she to curl up in the fetal position, it was doubtful any white would show however. Beside, a man similarly painted, and both holding a primitive javelin, with more holstered in a quiver slung around their back.<br/><br/>The elf stood there, curiously frozen by the sudden appearance as this bizarre pair. So enthralled was he that he barely noticed when the male drew his arm back to throw his javelin right at the naked elven warrior! It buried deep in the upper part of his breast, just beneath his collar. A solid hit, but not as deep or fatal as it could have been, thankfully. Had he aimed a little lower or higher, he could have received it in the heart or neck just as easily.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">YOU GET A JAVELIN.</span></strong> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGE0P_jWWSg&amp;feature=related)<br/><br/>Also; 7 damage. Yowch.</div></div><br/>Liah, turning around with a gasp, only saw the elf take the hit and did not seem to be aware of where it had come from. Going back up would have tough... he'd have to climb up there while fending them off. Behind Liah and Leander, there was another path leading away from their enemies about thirty feet away. It too would have required some effort to traverse, but at least it would have taken them away from the javelin wielding tribals and not towards them.<br/><br/>And then there was off the cliff itself, a drop into the water below that was at least 50 feet down...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Supplies round! Erm. Surprise round!<br/><br/>Leander and both Tribals are able to take one standard action. Liah iz flat-footed and actionless.<br/>Donning a breastplate hastily is ten full-round actions or twenty standard ones. ;-)<br/>...Going back up to the ruins requires a climb check. Going down the other side is considered difficult terrain.<br/>Going off the edge requires a swim/tumble check to negate some damage.<br/><br/>Initiative<br/>Male Tribal: 25<br/>Leander: 18<br/>Female Tribal: 16<br/>Liah: 11<br/><br/>Hrmph! Lucky dude. On the attack, a roll of 18 and max damage, too.<br/><br/>...I really am starting to think I'm rolling out all of my bad luck in that other game. :P</div></div><br/>
