[LPF] Greener is the Grass

[Systole]

"No escape," Sylla growls, urging her horse forward and sighting down an arrow at the fleeing bandit.

Boots attacks the bandit remaining in the tree, seeking to drag him down.


[sblock]Sylla single moves her mount west-ish and full attacks with haste. On fleeing bandit; assumes -2 for range (1d20+6=26, 1d8+3=9, 1d20+6=22, 1d8+3=4, 1d20+6=10, 1d8+3=4) plus crit threat On fleeing bandit; assumes -2 for range; crit threat (1d20+6=12, 2d8+6=14).


Boots pounces on the treed bandit ... although quadrupeds don't get the reach bonus that Bipeds do from Enlarge Person. I don't know if that changes things. If it does, I'm fine if you take the first roll. On the treed bandit (1d20+8=13, 1d8+10=13, 1d20+8=15, 1d8+10=17, 1d20+8=20, 1d8+10=13, 1d20+8=20, 1d8+10=13)[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]

[sblock=OOC] Ok, I think I get it. That's disappointing. I don't think Maui used any of those abilities before.

ROund 1 he moved and bit (he does gain a climb speed). Round 2 he full attacked but did nothing special. SO there isn't anything that would need rewinding, unless I missed something.

[sblock=jbear]You're right, everything before was ok. When I re-read I merged those two rounds into one in my mind thinking it was a move & pounce. My apologies.[/sblock]

 

[GlassEye]

Two out of three of Sylla's arrows find their mark and though injured the fleeing bandit puts heels to his mount's flank and spurs his horse to greater speed in order to escape. Boots tears into the bandit in the tree, bringing him down and ending his life.

The obese bandit seems unfazed by being abandoned and having all of his men slain or driven off. He also seems less damaged by Taniwha's bite than one might expect. He cackles and chops at Maui with his longsword causing a light wound.

OOC: Round Four. Everyone is up.

[sblock=Combat Information]Systole, how tall is a large (long) creature? Is it only one square tall with threatened squares one above? Regardless, the bandit's elevation is borderline within reach so I'll stick with what I said in my previous post and allow Boots access.

Maui and Taniwha flank the chuckling bandit and lay into him, intent on making him take them seriously.

Taniwha drops the blubbery bandit on his back with a brutal bites to his ankles, and rakes him like an old rug. Maui does no less, shredding the man and wiping the grin from his face as his mighty fangs and claws sink past the bandit's magical wards.

Sylla continues to fire at the retreating bandit, while Boots makes his way out of the tree.

[sblock]-4 range (1d20+4=11, 1d8+3=4, 1d20+4=20, 1d8+3=4, 1d20+4=19, 1d8+3=8) on the fleeing bandit

So I finally found where it talks about the reach of creatures -- in the entry for the Acrobatics skill. Yeah, if I hadn't stumbled across it, I'd never have known. So as a large quadruped, Boots has an 8 ft reach. Boots has a +7 acrobatics skill + 16 from Haste due to increased movement = +23. Jumping an additional 7 feet would be a DC 28. So I think I could have rolled the jump as part of the attack last round, but whatever. I'll just say that this round he's making sure the guy is dead and move on.[/sblock]

Seeing theat boots got the bandit in the tree and Maui and taniwa have the big nasty guy being worked, Vincenzo spurs his horse to top speed to chase down the fleeing bandit. He shoot first one arrow, this one going way over head, then another. This arrow goes way off to Vincenzo's left as the horse lurches to avoid a porcupine that came out of its burrow to see what all the thundering ground was about.

"Aw, horse pucky!" he exclaims.

Jaguar-Maui and Taniwha rip the bandit's feet out from under him and he drops heavily. His skin seems to writhe under the combined attacks and then it splits open in great seams of mucus-oozing wounds. A giant worm-like creature uncoils from the shed skin one end peeling back like a fleshy flower opening but instead of beauty and a fair scent it reveals five jaws opening in a hiss. Abruptly an undulation surges through the worm body of the creature and its toothy end drops to the ground and begins gnawing into the earth rapidly disappearing from view. In its haste to flee it leaves its body exposed and Taniwha snaps a chunk out of its tail and Maui finishes it off with his own bite. The thing writhes briefly then falls dead.

Boots finishes off the treed bandit and Sylla drops two arrows into the fleeing bandit almost taking him down. Though Vincenzo's arrows miss the fleeing bandit his horse moves like a force of nature across the plains and almost catches the bandit.

OOC: Round Five. One bandit (barely) left. Everyone is up.

[Scott DeWar]

this post has been corrected

Vincenzo trades out his weapons, rapier for longbow, then urges his horse to catch up with the bandit.

ooc: is that all I can do or did I misread how haste works? does the horse get a bite attack here? I don't know why, but the wording gives me a bit of a headache.

Vincenzo:
move action: stow long bow
move action: draw rapier

Horse: run as the wild wind to catch up to the fleeing bandit [round 2 of 21]
speed: hurricane
distance: 250 foot - keep up with bandit's horse

The two wild cats pace around the toothy worm snarling and growling. None can understand but in this form Taniwha and Maui finally see eye to eye.

"Is this what you smelt before? This ... worm?"

Taniwha snarls a reply.

[sblock=OOC] Is this worm the scent that we picked up before, the non-human one? [/sblock]
