(OOC: Right then. Seems like everyone likes the Ride check. So I rolled one for Ducane too, and he
just made it. Aya took the Reflex save and made that. I assume Zack has no way to get himself like a +1? A pity. Overall, you guys are very very lucky to get so many 20s with such small bonuses)
*Michael, Opale, Eternity, and Ducane, rein in their horses and stop just before the cascading avalanche of snow. Aya leaps off just in time, but the icy road is slippery, so she falls on her bum. Her steed careens forward into the avalanche and disappears under the weight of the snow. Zack almost stops in time, but he can only slow it down, so he and his steed wind up inside the edge of the avalanche, taking minor damage from the pounding snow and slightly stuck under its weight until he manages to push his way out (which should be a trivial exercise unless he has rotten luck). Hulgyr, on the other hand, is not able to slow his mount down at all, faring miserably on his attempt to stop. He continues forward at full speed and winds up pummeled and buried by the avalanche. He will take crushing damage until someone digs him out or he frees himself, though the latter would require superhuman strength. Fortunately, Hulgyr
has superhuman strength, particularly when in Rage.*
(OOC: Opale's turn only--she wound up with a Natural 20 on Initiative. Nobody else should post actions yet because things may change momentarily before your turn
)
