[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

[OoC: @Betimi  Even though Nang is covered with Vegetation, he has pushed away the leaves so he can still be partially seen by the group.  He was trying to be a relay so his brother could whisper information back to the group.  You can hear Ning screaming.]

[OoC2:  Currently Ning is 20' away from his brother, Nang.  Nang is about 30' away from the group.]

Ning throws caution to the wind and starts screaming, "Run!  Badness!!! Mind attacking creature!!!" His shrill shrieks echo off the stone walls and are easily heard by the group (and anything else that might be in the area.)  He plows past his startled brother into the less densely covered area that the group is standing in.

[The creature's delayed actions]  Ning continues to hear the pursuit of the creatures through the treetops above him but the noises seem to suddenly stop when they reach the edge of patch of heavy vegetation.  Nang suddenly grabs the top of his head and hisses in defiance!  "Noooooo!  What iss thiss?!!  Green Mother, sssave me!!"

[OoC3:  A map will be posted when it's necessary.  At the moment the group is 20' away from Nang and 30' from Ning.  The creatures either have total concealment from the canopy of thick vegetation or some kind of blending/invisibility.]

From the SRD:

You need cover or concealment in order to attempt a Hide check. You need cover or concealment in order to attempt a Hide check. Total cover or total concealment usually (but not always) obviates the need for a Hide check, since nothing can see you anyway.
