Yeah, I sort of anticipated one of the others would warn Quioan and Relic, but between Hlaalin's taciturn nature, Daylily's unique point of view, and Kazanto's curse, that kind of couldn't happen. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The hawk diving toward Quioan is actually the northern-most one (M13). Since your intent was to take out the one targeting you, I'm going to apply your attack there.Systole, I don't see any reason to waste the previous attack roll you made. I'm assuming you won't mind, since this newest roll was a miss. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />[/gm]As the hawks screech and dive in unison  (and the peasants do an appreciable facsimile, screaming and diving for cover), the party acts in efficient fashion. Quioan's arrow lances through the bird attacking him, and while blood and feathers fly, it stays its course, diving toward the bow-wielding elf. Daylily's sling stone is even more effective, lodging in the avian chest. Both bird and stone drop like the latter. Satisfied, the barbarian drops his sling and draws his ominous hammer just as Quioan's target reaches its talons for his attacker's face.[gm]Daylily can make an AoO against the hawk[/gm]The taciturn Hlaalin  tosses two vials together then waits patiently until one of the birds reaches some unspoken distance. He lobs the bubbling concoction at the hawk, and it bursts into flame, its charred body falling beside its sling-slain kin.The only unassaulted hawk dive-bombs Kazanto, though the merfolk is able to dodge enough that the talons only leave a painful scratch on her shoulder.[sblock=Crunch]Two hawks down, two to go.Kazanto takes 1 damage:<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3024886/" target="_blank">Hawk attack vs. Kazanto (1d20+7=24, 1d4-2=0, 1d20+7=12, 1d4-2=2)</a>Daylily has an AoO he can take.

We're into first-post time now that no one's flat-footed anymore.[/sblock]</blockquote>
