Hollow's Last Hope [IC]

[YeOldeAlbatross]

Having made visual contact with the assailant who fired upon her, Hakkara is off like a shot, her powerful legs propelling her across the grassy lakeshore and into the border of the trees. Without hesitation, she leaps up to the edge of the hunter's stand in the trees, grasping the edge in both hands. (Full round action to run to the tree with the hunter's stand, and a very successful Jump check of 27 to leap to the stand.)

Jared follows after his barbarian companion, though he struggles to keep up in his heavy armor. As he approaches the trees, he sees Hakkara leap up to grab ahold of the edge of a hunter's stand ten feet up in the tree. (Jared takes a full round action for a double move.)

From his vantage, Cyryn sees Hakkara and Jared run quickly toward the trees, but he can't make out what they're running towards. (Cyryn Spot Check, 8+5=13, just failed. Azgulor, let me know what you want Cyryn to do...he could follow Hakkara and Jared in the general direction they went.)

 

[Azgulor]

Cyryn sprints through the trees on a route paralleling Hakkara and Jared.


OOC: Double move if required. Using the trees for concealment.

 

[hero4hire]

Jared yells out "Sniper here in the trees! Dont know if there is more!"

ooc how far away is Jared now?

 

[YeOldeAlbatross]

Cyryn begins a mad dash of his own through the trees, trying to find a course which parallels that of Hakkara and Jared. He stops short upon seeing Hakkara hanging from a hunter's stand. (Double move for Cyryn this turn. Cyryn and Jared are both now within 10 feet of the hunter's stand.)

Suddenly, a pair of large, dark birds launch themselves from the branches of the hunter's tree, where they had perched unnoticed. They appear to be over-large rooks, albeit with jagged beaks and oily, unkempt feathers. Cawing loudly, both flap in and rake Hakkara's arms and face with their talons, painfully drawing blood. Hanging from the hunter's stand, Hakkara can do little to defend herself. (Both crows attack and hit for 1 damage each. Hakkara drops to 12/14 hp.)

Meanwhile, the humanoid figure on the hunter's platform leaps off the opposite edge, to the ground below. Jared and Cyryn both get a good view of the hunter, and can see now that he is a hobgoblin with grayish skin, armed with a shortbow and longsword. The hobgoblin cries out in pain as he lands, twisting one leg awkwardly. Despite the obvious pain, the hobgoblin limps away into the deeper woods, away from the intruding adventurers.

OOC: Okay, Loricallior and Jebbo are up next!

Hakkara jumps down and gives chase to the hobgoblin.
[sblock=Hakkara Round 2]
I don't know exactly how this will work, but I think Hakkara should be able to swing from the hunter's stand and jump in the direction the hunter ran.
Move Action - Jump Check: Jump Check (1d20+12=16)
Move Action - Chase Hunter 40ft

Loricallior breaks cover and rushes towards the hobgoblin. He shouts "Deixar cair suas armas e rendê-las! Apressar-se, antes que você perca sua cabeça devido a suas ações do tolo. "* Drawing on his mastery of dragonfire a blast of flames streaks from the elf to strike one of the oily birds as the elf rushes past.

move 30' blast dragonfire in a 30' line to catch a bird or two (which are hopefully quite flammable) but not Hakara. 1d6 fire damage, Reflex save DC 15 for half.

* Goblin tongue [SBLOCK] "Drop your weapons and surrender! Hurry, before you lose your head due to your fool actions."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Azgulor]

Cyryn skids to a stop, draws back, and hurls his spear at the hobgoblin.

OOC: This assumes the hobgoblin has a head start on Hakkara. Cyryn does not intend to throw into a melee.

[sblock=OOC]Where is Jebbo in relation to the Hobgoblin? How many feet away am I, and do I have a clear line of fire? I'll put up my actions as soon as these two questions are answered.[/sblock]

I think the hunter would have a tiny headstart if any. He jumped from practically the same place as Hakkara, and she has a 40ft move (which I doubt he has).

In any event, Hakkara continues to chase the jerk until she can take a swing at him.

OOC: Nazhkandrias, Jebbo is about 50 feet away from the action, and he doesn't have a clear line of sight, thanks to the trees. With a standard move action, however, he could get close enough to make a relatively clear ranged attack.
