The party scrambles like a rats on a sinking boat.
The mighty minotaur runs through the vines and branches, unstoppable as he is. The sheer weight of his body and thoughness of his skin openingn a path in the dense thicket.
Boris sprints into the woods, and with unmathed speed, disappears from sight in the dark forest.
The sorceror Alek does not delay in running away. He has to dodge and jump branches, unlike the bouldozer of a monk, but manages to do so with ease.
Zaroch simple fades from sight underneat the exposed roots of a big pine. Only the round reflexions from his spectacles throws a clue of where is the wizard hiding.
The wayfinder Chambers is caught by surprise, and readily looses himself in the thicket, disoriented for a brief moment.
Ilse just can't catch up with the rest. She fortuantely runs in a different direction than the troll, who would have caught her easily if it had chosen her as target.
The monsters is puzzled to which way to go, but decides on following the wizard, the minotaur and the ranger, that run the the same diraction. Also, Kurnos seems the meatier of the group, probably influecing that preference. It stomps, bashin the trees that stand on its way.
Its tree-wide foot smashes a small treeling a mere meter from Zaroch's hiding position. A cold sweat drop falls from the wizard's forehead. The troll continues pursing Kurnos, Logan and Alek, but is unable to reach them just yet. Logan however, is not far away...
....
As Boris turns about to see what happened, he finds he's lost the troll, but also his companions. He also has left no trail in order to undo his advance. He feels the forest closing in on him. A shy cackle breaks at his left, and as Boris turns, the trail of a spirit disappears behind a fern.
Ilse hears the faint noises of the chase getting father away from her, until the trembles of the earth, with each footstep of the troll, is the only thing that reaches her.
Skill challenge: Run away! [*100 xp to jbear for the first correct answer.]
You have decided to head to the cave, not knowing that Grlak the giant troll had made it its daytime refuge. Now the huge troll has set eyes on you; your only hope, lose him in the heavy thicket of the forest.
DC: 17, 5 before 3 failures. Skills: Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth. You can use Perception once per character, to determine how well your character can avoid obstacles. If you succeed on a DC 17 of Perception you can remove one failure caused by you. Given the situation, aid another will be only restricted to athletics (e.g. pulling someone free of a entangling vine, or pulling someone to run faster).
Successes: 3
Failures 2!
jbear: Despite your description being totally convincing, it does imply that you cover a LOT of distance, leaving your partners behind. As the evil DM I am, I'm going to rule that your success doesn't count for the group, but for you alone. You have escaped the challenge! (this means you can't participate in the still ongoing challenge, unless you find a way to get back with the others, but that seems unlikely for the time being...)
