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

[Bront]

Yes, we are doing a sliding scale as I said in post 366

OOC: Doh, my math was off by 100, sorry

The groom and Tannin continue deeper into the woods

Jonas enters an open stretch. He sees an elf standing at the checkpoint. He also spots the target less than fifty feet away. He notches an arrow and fires at the target. It is a miss.

Thail and Thaean enter the clearing neck and neck, they pass Jhonas, but neither spots the target so they reign in their horses to stop at the checkpoint.

Tull buzzes out of the woods, and past Jhonas. He spots the target, makes a beautiful dart throw at the target and continues on past the checkpoint.

It is now clear to Thail and Thaean where the target is.

Salina continues to exhort her mount to go faster.


Fourth Round OOC
Groom (Ride Check, 17 total) 1010 feet
Tannin (Ride Check, Nat 20 +15 = 25 total) 915 feet
Tuul (Ride Check, 28 total) 615 feet (spot check 20 total), (Attack roll, 18, hit)
Thail (Ride Check, 13 total) 600 feet (spot check, Nat 1) checkpoint,
Thaean (Ride Check, 25 total) 600 feet (spot check 14 total) checkpoint,
Jhonas (Ride Check, 9 +5 action point=14 total) 580 feet (spot check 20 total), (Attack roll, 5, miss)
Salina (Ride Check, 18 +2 action point=20 total) 350 feet

Note: This contest is meant to represent a hunt, so the first target is concealed, if you do not spot it then you must stop your horse at the checkpoint (I have decided stopping a running horse counts as a “standard action”.)

Jonas has a choice to make on his next turn. Because he has not reached the checkpoint yet, he can either make an attack or stop at the checkpoint.

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 must 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.

Don’t forget Jhonas has a -4 attack penalty when his horse is moving.

OOC: Jhonas will risk it. He is +1 to hit with the masterwork weapon. If he misses, he's almost out of the race, but he is definately out of the race if he stops.

There are 4 checkpoints and then the finish line. No one is out of the race yet.

Bah, he'll stop and reload then.

"Come on, Come on" the shrill halflings voice screams urging the dinosaur forward as the small form sitting astride the powerful beast nocks another arrow and readies to fire on the next target.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

The human craftsman and groom stop at the second checkpoint. Tuul swoops along the trail.

Jhonas halts his horse at the first checkpoint.

Salina bursts into the clearing; she does not see the target, but keeps her bow readied.

Almost in unison Thaean and Thail grasp-an-arrow-draw-back-bows-fire-strike-target-ride-off.

Salina witnesses this, and hits the target with an arrow.

Tannin (Ride Check, 28 total) 1200 feet, 2nd checkpoint;

Jhonas 600 feet checkpoint;

Jhonas curses as he takes his shot and kicks his horse back into gear (Unless he misses). He reloads when he can.

 

[D20Dazza]

Buoyed by the hit Slaina pats her mount and urges him onto greater efforts, sprinting towards the next mark.
