(Homebrew D&D) Breaking New Ground

[Argent Silvermage]

[OOC: Damn! dead last.]
Zyrial will wait his turn.

 

[Keia]

Zykovian dashes in the direction of the call following the direction that Zyrial and his cousins started. With his boots of striding enhanced by an additional burst of speed [Burst Psion +10 feet base move], Zykovian speeds off as though shot from a bow [70 ft base move]. On the way, he draws his rapier, looking to attack anyone who would think to harm his cousin.

OCC: Zykovian will utilize burst psion as a free action and run to the sound of the threat [280 ft full run move], drawing his weapon as a free action [base attack greater than +1 and a move action], interposing himself between whatever threat is there and Felkhourn.

 

[Arknath]

As Zykovian approaches the sound of the falcon, he passes several shadowy sillhouettes on either side of him. When turning to look they are gone. When he reaches the clearing, he sees what appears to be the back of a humaoid cat person standing behind Felkhourn, who has her bow drawn and her back to him. The feline-like human has black fur and is thickly muscled. It wears a few decorative pendants and a loin cloth that is tattered and torn. A large spear is in front of Felkhourn implanted in the ground, and the felineman is unarmed. You move in between him and Felkhourn, rapier drawn. He looks quite surprised to see you.

[ooc: Ulysses you're up]

 

[Manzanita]

Ulysses has nothing of the speed Zykovian displays, but he runs towards the sounds & after Zykovian as best he can, trying not to lose track of Ellar or the rest. If he reaches the scene, if he reaches the scene with time to act, he will call to the cat-man, "Hold, we are not your enemies," spreading his arms wide, not holding any weapons.

 

[Arknath]

Ulysses takes off from the main group and sprints in the direction that Zykovian blazed. Trying not to get lost himself, he keeps his eyes straight ahead, as to not get distracted. At the end of his turn, he still has not reached the place of action, but is close enough to hear the comotion.

***

The cat man takes a defensive stance in front of Zykovian, bare clawed and teeth bared. From this angle it is clear to Zykovian that this is some sort of humanoid panther that appears to be somewhat intelligent. Out of the corner of his eyes, Zykovian will notice two other similar looking creatures appear at the edge of the small clearing. They have long spears hefted and look tense, as if they will throw them at the first sign of confrontation.

[ooc: Ellar your turn]

 

[Chauzu]

Felkhourn will turn around to see what is behind her. She will then back up as far as she can, insisting on not attacking unless she is forced to by the cat-man.

 

[Keia]

"Be calm, Felkhourn. I will allow no harm to come to you," Zykovian says quietly not taking his eyes from the cat man in front of him.

 

[electric-ant]

Ellar follows Ulysses towards the clearing, but does not enter entirely. Instead, he will attempt to remain outside the main group, but still leave his presence obvious to see.

 

[Arknath]

Ellar runs after his kin, dodging in and out of trees and brush. Thinking to himself that Zyrial is the best to leave behind because he can find his way easily, he sprints at full speed towards the sounds of his cousin's call, hoping that he can be in time to stop something foolish from happening.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Zyrial trudges along cursing his family members all the while.
