Elven Wedding - The race is Over, we are moving on

[MavrickWeirdo]

The craftsman breaks his bowstring. The groom misses the target.

Thail and Thaean continue to match pace with each other. The trail has reentered the woods as a narrow track, the perfect place for an ambush. Thail bumps Thaean, who recovers immediately. They have not caught up with Tuul.

Salina's Clawfoot carries on into the woods.

Jhonas strikes the target and takes off after the halfling.

"Hya! Hya!" Jhonas cries as he heads off, hoping to gain ground.

OOC: I have determined there are too many characters who's name start with a T in this game

 

[D20Dazza]

Salina urges her mount to even greater effort, all the time keeping an eye out for the next target and pulling another arrow from her quiver to grasp between her teeth.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

The Clawfoot finally seems to get the message and starts running for all that it is worth.

Tuul comes up to the 2nd checkpoint, he throws, misses and overshoots the checkpoint.
Tannin manages to restring his bow.

Thaean pulls out in front of Thail. He comes to a tight corner of the trail. As he comes around the corner he sees that his brother and the human craftsman are stopped at the checkpoint 15 feet ahead of him. He sees Tuul miss the target.

Thaean can now choose between stopping, or shooting. OOC: Thaean [sblock] If he stops, he can shoot next turn

If he shoots and hits, he does not have to stop.

If he shoots and misses, he will spend the next turn coming back to the checkpoint, and can shoot the round after that.

He does not have Mounted Archery Feat, so his attack is -4 when the horse is moving. [/sblock] Thondraes (the groom) hits the target this time and rides off down the winding wood trail.

Thail sees Thaean ride around a tight corner ahead.

Jhonas is picking up speed as he follows the narrow track through the woods.

Seventh Round OOC
Groom (Attack roll, 19, Hit) 1280 feet,
Tannin (Restring Bow/Dex check, 12, success) 1200 feet, 2nd checkpoint;
Tuul (Ride Check, 26 total) 1200 feet, (Attack roll, 10, Miss) overshoot 2nd checkpoint;
Thaean (Ride Check, 24 total) 1200 feet, 2nd checkpoint;
Thail (Ride Check, 19 total) 1160 feet;
Salina (Ride Check, Nat 20+6=26 total) 1000 feet;
Jhonas (Ride Check, 21 total) 950 feet;

 

[Bront]

Jhonas looks around for his next taret as he closes in on the next check point.

 

[D20Dazza]

Tears streaming from her eyes, and with the arrow nestled in her mouth doing little to hide the feral grin playing across her face, Salina settles into the saddle as her dinosaur finds its rhythm. She bangs her small heels into the beasts side and continues the chase for the next target, all the time keeping an eye out for any tell-tale signs of its location.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Thaean can now choose between stopping, or shooting.

With no response, I am going to assume that Thaean chose to shoot. Luckily he hit the target, so he rode on after his brother.

Thaean (Ride Check, 24 total) 1240 feet,

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Thaean passes his brother as the woods get deeper.

Tuul returns to the second checkpoint.

Thail comes around the corner. He rides for the gap recently vacated by Thaean, and draws an arrow to shoot.

Jhonas passes Salina and comes around the corner. Again Jhonas must choose to make an attack or stop at the checkpoint. [sblock]If he chooses to make an attack, and hits the target, he can continue riding.

If he chooses to make an attack, and then misses, he will overshoot the checkpoint. He will stop his horse on the next turn and ride back to the checkpoint. He will be able to make an attack on the turn after that.

If he chooses to stop his horse, he may make an attack on the next turn.

Jhonas has a -4 attack penalty when his horse is moving.[/sblock]
As Salina catches up to the pack, the Clawfoot reacts to the three herbivores in front of it with a GROWL. Now Salina must choose to make an attack or stop at the checkpoint. [sblock]If she chooses to make an attack, and hits the target, she can continue riding.

If she chooses to make an attack, and then misses, she will overshoot the checkpoint. She will stop her mount on the next turn and ride back to the checkpoint. She will be able to make an attack on the turn after that.

If she chooses to stop her mount, she may make an attack on the next turn.

Salina has a -4 attack penalty when her mount is moving.[/sblock]

Tannin’s horse is startled by the growl and he misses his shot.
Thail’s horse is not startled; Thail delivers the arrow into the target and continues down the trail.


Eighth Round OOC
Thaean (Ride Check, 22 total) 1560 feet;
Groom (Ride Check, 17 total) 1520 feet;
Thail (Ride Check, 14 total) 1320 feet, (mount vs. Startle 18, save), (Attack roll 25, hit);
Tannin (mount vs. Startle 8, fail) 1200 feet, 2nd checkpoint;(Attack roll, 12-2 Startle = 10 total, miss);
Tuul 1200 feet, 2nd checkpoint;

Jhonas (Ride Check, 18 +5 action point =23 total) 1200 feet; 2nd checkpoint;

 

[Bront]

Jhonas will take the risk and fire at the target (Action point spent if needed). He could make up a lot of time if he hits...

 

[D20Dazza]

Adrenalin coarsing through her veins, and with the roar of her dinosaur still ringing in her ears, Salina pulls the arrow from her mouth and guides the charging beast with her knees. She takes careful aim at the target and let's fly the falcon fletched shaft at the small wooden square that dangles from the branch of the gnarled oak.

OOC: Hoping to get lucky here, and will use an action dice if things are looking tight.
