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

[solkan_uk]

Thail raises an eyebrow upon seeing the halfling, "Aren't you at a disadvantage here - I mean you've got at least an extra 2 foot to shoot.", he smiles thinly.

Saline Talenta Halfling Rogue

Thail raises an eyebrow upon seeing the halfling, "Aren't you at a disadvantage here - I mean you've got at least an extra 2 foot to shoot.", he smiles thinly.

"I can see two feet that had best be careful they don't get shot" the halfling quips at the arrogant elf, eyeing off his huge gangly feet (at least from a halflings perspective)

 

[Bront]

"Any Questions?" [/COLOR] he asks the compeditors.

Carver is full of questions, but he's pretty sure that's not what the Keeper means, so he says "I have no questions and am ready to procede."

OOC: Mavrick, I hopefully made my intentions clear in the OOC thread.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

OOC [sblock] No one told me they were aiming for a certain color, so for the first round everyone is “aimed at the flock”[/sblock]
The call goes out "Release The Birds!"

The elven attendants pull a lever, and all the cages open a once. A rainbow of feathers takes to the air.

Thail is the first to react, but does not account for the wind. His shot goes wide.

The warforged fires next, a perfect shot into the red bird. The spectators cheer.
<<

a Natural 20, for an attack total of 24-red bird

The elven craftsman calls out gets off a shot, striking an orange bird.

The human craftsman calls out "Green", but the arrow goes too low.

The groom has a hasty release and misses

The birds are trying to get higher so cannot move at full speed, yet they are now almost 40 feet away from the archers. <<

Spoiler

The birds have moved out of "point blank" range

One of the white birds narrowly avoids Salina'a arrow.

Shafer's shot also runs afoul of the wind.

[MavrickWeirdo]

Thail does better with his second shot hitting one of the blue birds.
<<

Spoiler

Attack total 20-blue

>>

Carver luck seems to turn for the worse, he misses completely.
<<

Spoiler

Attack total 8-miss

>>

The elven craftsman calls out “Orange” but the arrow overshoots the flock.

The human again calls out “Green”, and this time he hits his target, but his joy is short lived because the Groom hits a green bird at almost the same time.

The birds have reached almost sufficient elevation and are flying faster now. They are now almost 80 feet away from the archers.

Salina missed the flock a second time much to her chagrin; it will only get harder to hit the birds as the move farther away.

Spoiler

Attack total 15-miss

Shafer at least misses by a bit less this time.
<<

Spoiler

Attack total 11-miss

[MavrickWeirdo]

>>

Carver’s luck returns and he hits the second orange bird.
<<

Spoiler

Attack 13(d20)+3(BaB)+1(MW)+6(Action point)=23; Without the action point it would have been a miss; if you hadn’t gotten a 6 on your action die the elven craftsman would have gotten the orange bird

>>

The elven craftsman grumbles as his arrow hits a yellow bird

The human craftsman does not call a color this round, he shoots for the flock, but it does not help, he misses anyway.

The groom is a sportsman, who seems to enjoy the game even if he is not doing well, this arrow only hits a white bird.

The birds are now about 120 feet away from the archers.

Salina finally finds the range of the birds and hits the second yellow one.
<<

Spoiler

Attack total 24-yellow

>>

Shafer does not seem comfortable with this crossbow for some reason. Possibly he is distracted by how the human craftsman keeps looking over at him.
<<

Spoiler

Attack total 11-miss

>>

The groom’s next shot manages to take out the third yellow bird.

 

[D20Dazza]

Salina flashes a grin and winks at the elf with the big feet as her arrow strikes true.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Thail’s calls out “Blue” and cleanly hits a blue [sblock]Attack total 22-blue, did not use action point. You roll a 9 on you spot check, you don’t notice anything.[/sblock]

Carver’s manages to hit one of the white birds [sblock] Attack total-15 +3 (action die) =18-white. You roll a 5 on you spot check, you don’t notice anything. [/sblock]

The elven craftsman calls out “Viper!”, turns partway to the right, and shoots an arrow into the ground halfway between the archers and the spectators.

The human ignores the elf’s strange behavior and hits a green bird.

The groom hits a purple before he turns to try to spot the snake in the grass..

The birds are now about 160 feet away from the archers.

Salina notices several things at once. She sees the Deadly Plains Viper crawling away from the archers. When she looks up at the spectators Salina notices the elf with her friend’s flask, and standing behind him is one of the elves who attacked the caravan. She brings her bow around a little too quickly; the bowstring slips and scrapes the inside of her arm. The spectators retreat and she looses sight of the treacherous elves. [sblock] spot check 28, attack roll “natural 1”[/sblock]

Shafer does not see the snake, and there is still the contest. He shoots and hits his first bird, a white. [sblock]spot check 20, Attack total 18-white[/sblock]

The groom shoots in the general direction of the viper.

Thaean has a partialy obstructed view of the snake, due to the grass. [sblock] spot check 22, Three-quarters concealment [/sblock]

 

[solkan_uk]

Thail will fire off another shot, he's distracted and won't bother aiming at any particular colour, and then take an action to look around - "You okay l'il one?""

 

[Bront]

Carver will look around, but if he fails to spot this viper, he'll continue to attack the birds normaly, no longer looking to spend action points. If he spots the viper, he will fire at it instead, using action points if needed to help him hit it.
