Tatlock loses his footing, sliding fifteen feet down the forming slope. Oliver manages to keep from being bucked off his horse, but it is of little concern as the beast loses its footing, and tumbles down the hillside, colliding with Tatlock along the way. (Oliver: 11 damage)Nurthk falls and takes the slide as well, avoiding the fissure but colliding in a heap with Oliver and Tatlock. His horse likewise falls, but manages with flailing hooves to keep itself from being sucked into the earth, instead colliding with its master. (Nurthk: 6 damage.)Cylantro's horse falls, rolling over the spicy spellcaster at slides down the tumultuous cliffside. (Cylantro: 8 damage.)Justice is perhaps a bit cooler-headed, and the paladin's mount manages to keep her feet on the ground, although it is still a wild, stumbling effort. Hiritus comes close to being thrown from the saddle, but manages to hold on.Xiao, meanwhile, calmly hunkers down as the ground moves beneath him. Side by side, the monk and the knight are carried a few feet closer to the ocean unharmed.To Hiritus' other side, Fendric is thrown from his horse, but after a wild turn in the air comes down planted on his feet, as though he'd intended to do it that way all along. Vespers, on the other hand, is not so fortunate; one wild hoof catches Fendric in the back, knocking the wind out of him, before he is left to watch the horse tumble down the cliffside. (Fendric: 6 damage.)In either direction, the waves of motion can be seen tearing rock away all along the coastline. From the South, you can hear shouts of alarm, and yes, screams as well.Beneath you, the water begins to peel back, pressed away in one fat back-running wave, leaving a wide stretch of moist, blank beach where it once was.(The latter effect is not pictured on the updated Round 2 map, as that just constituted more Photoshoppnig than I felt up to. Also note that on the updated map the white squares are horses, and that Hiritus "got big" all of a sudden because I remembered that horses -- and hence, riders of horseback -- occupy ten-foot squares.Also, regarding Xiao's movement, the earthquake occurred took effect prior to his initiative, hence it hasn't taken place yet. Sorry I wasn't more clear on that.For that matter, I should start posting initiatives.)Round 2<s>24 Raven</s><s>23 Tatlock</s><s>22 Nurthk</s><s>21 Oliver</s><s>20 Cylantro</s><s>17 Hiritus</s><s>12 The Birds</s> 5 Xiao 3 Fendric</blockquote>
