Note: It is currently roughly 6 PM, January 21st.
After a few moments you feel a sensation enter your minds, not in words but more intent, encouraging you to touch the roots. Somewhat hesitantly, you reach out and touch the roots one by one.

Everyone But Hanuel & Gwydo:

As you emerge and take stock of the surroundings a few things become apparent immediately. First, the sun is inching ever closer towards the horizon. Second, five tall Centaurs are standing perched at the edges of the ravine, still waiting to shoot any who start climbing the staircase. Their bows are not actively drawn, but their first arrow is already in their hand, ready for action at a moment's notice. There is a sixth Centaur standing a short distance away, pacing. He also has a longbow, and a brutal looking axe resting on his belt. You cannot make out his face for the helmet he wears, but he carries himself with an air of authority.

Whis Kor & Caladrius:

Drawing his sword and gripping his shield determinedly, Gwydo moves into a defensive position ahead of the group to the East.

Whis Kor looks visibly shaken from his trip, but he gathers himself quickly and hisses to the party,
"They've got us flanked! There's lookouts in the north, east, and south! Eliminate their flank and then converge in a pincer formation to the west!"

He plants himself in a charging position.

Caladrius grips his staff and to the amazement of others it changes into a light crossbow. He Whispers, "I may be a White Mage, but I do like to come prepared"
[Hold Position]
[Awareness Check] On the Centaurs. Are the trained Mercs? Will Killing the Boss effect the others, possibly dispersing them?

The Sclavi was already forcing everyone into a formation. If they hadn't seen them, Rory would have liked to get the jump on them. Instead, he formed up right behind Gwydo and Whis Kor, and drew his knife in a reverse grip with the edge facing in. Hoping to get in close by following their shields, Rory aimed to draw blood as soon as he came in contact with the enemy.

After the events of the day, Rory felt scattered when trying to draw on his combat rage. Then, he thought about Zeiss' remarks and Whis Kor's fit of anger and patronizing attitude. These things were only so irritating, but they would do. Rory focused on them, allowing his primal emotion to seethe until it was, for lack of a better mental description, palpitating just to increase in "size". He had the rage. It would remain to be seen if he would use it.

Raver bolts his expression in surprise. They were surrounded? The men outside were Centaurs? He knew something was odd when he heard one of them being mentioned back on the farms. This is too strange.

"We need to know their intentions." Mutters the wolf, eyeing the Centaur leader as his party prepared for battle. "Other than the fact that they might want to kill us." He is frustrated with not knowing what's going on.

"Well, there goes any shot at stealth..." Hanuel mutters after Ashakel shouts. With a quick glance around the area, Hanuel pulls up their crossbow and fires at Centaur 3. Hanuel then holsters the crossbow with one hand and frees the other crossbow with the opposite hand.

"No, unless they try to parlay with us, we kill them. Because if they don't, then they were sent by Harkun, and we can't play innocent anymore."

"That kind of thinking is exactly what would lead to more misunderstanding... These Centaurs might be simply seeing us as a threat. Perhaps they think we were sent to kill them. And it's nonsense to say Harkun sent them when Centaurs don't even deal with the civilized." Raver continues to look around "What could Harkun give to these Centaurs that they would want to work for him? The land he promised the Gnolls!? If so they've been tricked, and we need to tell them!"

"If you're not attacked first. DON'T ATTACK!" He howls angrily at some of the party already foolishly attacking.

Wincing at Raver's howl, Rory considered what he had to say. Civilized and uncivilized? Who's to say they weren't part of whatever criminal underworld Harkun had devised, or was playing puppet to? Considering the folly of leaving none of them alive, Rory gave the wolf the benefit of a doubt and sheathed his blade.

"Take one alive if you can," says Kolson, drawing his sword, "It won't hurt to see if we can get some answers from him."


And with that he readies an action to cast Bolt on up to 5 enemies, allowing those who need surprise to do their thing before inundating the centaurs with electricity.

Leaning against the tree and using it for cover, Rellan begins to chant an incantation, then stops abruptly...his tongue felt thick and heavy and he could not focus....after all the tension involved in his diplomacy with the Gnolls -- and then being magically teleported here -- he was drained and the stress was taking its toll. His hands were still shaking, and he could no longer concentrate.

"I can't wait any longer...." he muttered out of desperation as he reached for his snuff box. "I'll need my full strength and potential for this" and he quickly took a snuff of Leyslice.
