The four arrived on the beach on the other side of the island. They had been tracking a number of strange dark energy signals to here. All of them landed on a stretch of beach. It was low tide and the beach stretched out for nearly half a mile before it began fighting its eternal loosing battle with the ocean. The sand was hard packed and the moon hung high overhead, a viscious cresent, seeming to bode of evil. Behind the group the thick jungle came to an abrupt end, as if it hit a wall at the edge of the beach. Visible a ways down the beach was a large black lump. To anyone approaching closer it would become apparent it was in fact a number of lumps. A pile to be exact...of bodies. But, no one had time to investigate. Before any of them had time to properly take in the scene around them they were being ambushed.
(OOC NOTE: These creatures have NO ENERGY SIGNATURE WHATSOEVER and cannot be sensed through any sort of life sense)
From the forest there was a loud crash, trees collapsed onto the beach and out stepped a massive humanoid (perso.wanadoo.fr/bookloic/jpg/02-TheNomadSoul/astaroth-face.jpg) massive chitinous spikes covered its face, which was turned in a sickening grin, as if esctatic about the upcoming slaughter. In both hands it held an enormous club, little more than a tree trunk. One end was spiked through with five four-foot-long iron poles and the other was wrapped in bloody bandages and tipped with a fist sized diamond. Its skin was covered in cracks that glowed red like magma beneath the beast's surface. Its right hand was covered in small spines, that shone with fresh blood, seeming to indicate they had just grown.
The Beast charged toward Xarius with a scream of "DAGDA!" presumably the creature's name or some sort of battle cry. As it reached the Xennarian it swung the club downwards in a powerful overhead swing. Before punching out in a hook with its right spiked hand for Xarius's head.
As the Dagda was emerging from the jungle another, far stranger creature (www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mm_gallery/Owlbear.jpg), appeared behind it. It was winged and birdlike but stood upright like a man. Its beak appeared to be made of iron and its claws of bronze. The creature had the legs of a bear. Its feathers were a cold grey color.
"Hello Roos, I am Gagana," it said before opening its mouth in a wide smile. A beam of frost shot from its beak towards Roos. It then leapt forward and tried claw apart the demon's face. If the beam of frost hit, Roos would feel his very cells freezing and his ability to manipulate his shape would be severly weakened.
(OOC: Good luck folks)
