The Daggerwake

Biscuit leaves via the nearest access to distract the rays. "Hey, a$$hats, want some tasty Biscuit?" He then mutters, "You might want to get going, Mole."

Varos readies his bow and will move to back up Biscuit.

The rays come within 10 yards of the ship searching for the voices...

OOC:

Mole finds that the portals are easy enough to crawl out of as long as you don't have a backpack on.

OOC:

within 10 yards is good enough for Varos bow isn't it?

Mole puts his backpack down on the floor and crawls out looking for voice owner.

OOC:

The manta's both speak some strange language to each other. If you haven't picked your languages yet, you could add Infernal to your list. The Rays are circling the ship, you may hide among some debris and seaweeds.

OOC:

I do that. What I would like to achieve - use

[ +- ] Backstab

If that would be possible. I mean I am new to Swords & Wizardry not sure how does this work

Mole try to hide among some debris and seaweeds, then wait for the right moment when creature swim by and jump out of his hiding righ behind creature trying to cut off it's tale.

OOC:

If it makes sense, then let's do it. You can backstab from hiding, no problem. Just make a Move Silently check. Roll with a 30% bonus to your target number (25 becomes 55) due to watery environment and your ability to hide.

OOC:

Thank you friend, I feel better. Now, what will you do with these audacious ones who come for your life?

The Rays swim slowly, unafraid, and insolent, they call out, "Minnows! You will fill our bellies. And we will have the priest. Mother Hush is no challenge for us! Hear me Minnows!?"

At the beginning of a combat round, each side rolls a d6 for "initiative" — the opportunity to act first. The side with the highest roll wins, and that group acts first. The PCs have a 6 already. A tie goes to the PCs.
