4) Undermountain: The Beholders Key

[LibraryLass]

Hermia grabs her sword, standing between the thief and the movement.

[dymondy2k]

I'll also put myself between the bulge and our thief.. Mace at the ready..

[Blazeguard]

Rykken waits to see what emerges from the sand.

[Jandolar]

One massive claw emerges from the sand dune followed by another and then a long tail with a bulbous stinger attached to it. Fully emerged from the sand is a giant scorpion. Six feet of body with an equally long tail and fronted by a pair if keen edged pincers the beast goes still again watching the company before it.

[LibraryLass]

"Perhaps we can intimidate it by forming a cohesive front!" Hermia says, looming as large and menacingly as her tiny stature allows.

[Hywaywolf]

"Intimidate it long enough for those of you closer than you want to be to back away, but if we want that chest I suspect we will have to kill it. I await your directions since you are in the heat of it and will be more likely to face the harm from any action we take."

[dymondy2k]

I hate giant bugs! But the chest may be worth the fight.

[LibraryLass]

Does Giovanni happen to be able to neutralize poison? It's the stinger that worries me.

[Woe]

Ravoneth thinks about getting out her bow, then decides against it.

[Jandolar]

The scorpion does not appear intimidated and remains motionless while watch the company.

(How do you plan to proceed?)
