[Patrol] Book 1 - Chapter 1.8.3: Amphibious Fun

[info]Selphie Perception 22

It is strange, despite you taking your time and scanning the scene at hand you cannot see anything out of the ordinary outside of a few frogs jumping around. But then you feel that same resonating base in your chest as Luna described. It would be hard to pick out if you were not specifically looking for it. You know that if you can even feel that vibration at all from across the bridge it must be LARGE.

Based on that, you know that you should be able to see a creature that size from where you are standing, but for some reason there is nothing in the area that catches your eye. It crosses your mind that if you cannot see whatever this creature is while actively looking for it, there is no way that your average traveler would be able to see it just trying to move through the area.[/info]

Without being able to make visual contact it is difficult to tell what kind of creature you are looking for. But it seems like this area is rich with frog life in general which could account for the sound.

"Well, I'm not really sure for as long as we haven't seen it yet," Luna said in response to Selphie. "It could be just frogs for all we know. Or we can check it and see," she added smiling.

"im going in closer to the bridge see if we can see what is going on" Kerrick hops out of the wagon and proceeds closer using all of his senses on the way. stopping just behind a rock he looks around to see if he notices anything [info] perception [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+7 : 9 + 7, total 16[/blockquote]

[Kerrick]

"just frogs i thought it would be something way more scary im going to see if i can get some more friends" kerrick looks at his lizard and heads across the bridge still going slowly because he knows the woods can still be dangerous. just because your dealing with frogs now does not mean you let your guard down. as kerrick crosses the bridge he can be heard "its okay we arent going to hurt you its okay come out i'd love to see you"

Roll Knowledge Nature if you can[/info]

As Kerrick crosses the bridge the four frogs seem to take notice and began hopping towards him, like cute little frogs.

[info]Everyone feel free to make a knowledge nature check about the frogs, but you will need to move closer to get a better view if you want to make the roll. If you make the roll you will be moved to just before the bridge crossing. [/info]

The frogs approach Kerrick seeming to surround him with their cute little ribbits as he tries to befriend them. In fact, the frogs are so friendly and brightly covered that two of them get so excited that they end up biting him.

It is then that the entire group hears the buffet of wings as something large but invisible almost knocks over a tree as it takes into the air. Kerrick feels the wind from the wings more than sees it as a giant frog with large bird-like wings appears in midair shimmering into existance as if it was some kind of heat mirage. The Giant frog with an earth-shaking croak attempts to lash out at Kerrick with it's long muscled tongue but is to excited and the updraft causes the tongue to miss.
