Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 9219499" data-attributes="member: 1282">SC Progress: 4 Successes/1 Failure/1 Secondary Skill Available/1 Hard DC AvailableThe logging train is upon you now, a dozen or more working people wrapped in thick woolens and furs against the deep chill of autumn in this clime.Young Hansel is at the lead beside a burly, whiskered, male Half-orc, who must be Bordris. The boy's father is a few paces behind, with the rest of the logging outfit."Ain't no hags left in this part of the forest, boy," grunts Bordris. "Harpies neither. Guildmaster paid a handsome bounty to the Order of the Ebony Tower to drive 'em off. I've seen the trophies on the walls of the Guildhall..." Bordris stops short, in his speech and in his forward movement. Several gasps of shock and fright escape from the loggers as they, too, see you now: a trio of giant spiders poised to pounce from the underbrush. Nemo is a natural mimic, his chittering from behind a tree almost making Jendi turn to face an unseen threat."Aye, no harpies, boy, but just as bad: spiders!" He shouts the last. "Release the hounds!"A doghandler steps out from the train, half a dozen hunter-guardian dogs of obvious strength and ferocity [think: akitas] strain at their leashes, canines used primarily to drive off marauding owlbears and the like from the logging camp. The handler unleashes them, and they advance warily as a pack, hackles raised, and deepthroated growls accompanying each step.What do you do? The dogs can sense their humans' fear and believe you to be an arachnid threat, so they're ready to attack. Moderate DC if a Skill check or DC 15/13 vs AC/NAD if you want to use an attack power here.</blockquote>
