Q'Barra: Facing Truth


log in or register to remove this ad

Darrick, Catherine and Trebuchet begin to notice that there is an odd quiet about the jungle around them, they aren't hearing the songs of the birds like they would expect to hear. They don't notice anything else out of the ordinary, though.

Sepoto, Kaelan and Charles also notice a lack of bird and other small animal noises. Kaelan and Charles have also noticed far fewer large animal tracks then they would expect of this area.

Sentinel did mention that they had not been accosted by any wildlife on their trip towards Havenwood, could this be what he had meant?

(ooc: tomorrow I hope to have the first encounter up. good work so far, all!)
 

(I should probably take this to the OoC thread, but how are we communicating? Are we taking stops and talking? Charles will want to bring up the lack of animals asap. He believes it might be over hunting from both people and lizardfolk)
 

Sepoto, Kaelan and Charles are trying to keep their eyes and ears open for trouble, when they hear a tremendous roar, followed closely by a second. Then the sounds of a large animal or two crashing through the underbrush.

Catherine, Trebuchet and Darrick stop in their tracks when they also hear the crashing sounds, and look up to see two hulking shapes burst through the underbrush to the edge of the trail in front of them, and apparently very intent on doing severe harm.

(OOC: everyone, roll for initiative and post your first round actions. I will sort out the details of combat. Let the fun begin!)

Catherine - Prebattle

Initiative: 1d20+4=16

The first chance she gets, she'll attempt to id whatever it is the animals are.
Knowledge (Nature): 1d20+9=27

After that, Catherine will draw her weapon, and attempt to scare the closest animal.

[sblock]Catherine is going to use her daunting presence feat on whichever animal is closer to her. Will Save DC is 14 to resist being shaken for 10 minutes.[/sblock]

Kaelan

Init: 8

[sblock=ooc]What is the difference in the color of the jungle?[/sblock]

Before deciding on a course of action, Kaelan search's his memory to try and identify the creature by the sound of it's roar. Knowledge Nature 11. I must protect those on the trail, Kaelan thinks, whatever these things are they will feel the blades of the Valenar.

[sblock=ooc]Assuming the creatures don't attack Kaelan first, he will move next to Catherine and either attack or ready an action to attack, power attack for two, activating a quick fire capsule(swift). Attack and damage roll: Critical threat: 26 to hit, 18 damage. Crit confirmation: 21 to hit; 10 damage, total 28 damage[/sblock]
 

Initiative: 19

Darrick will move up next to Catherine, on the Southern side of the trail, and ready an action to attack if any of the beasts come within sword-range. If either of them is already engaged in combat when his turn comes, he'll move to support whoever it is that's being attacked.

[sblock]
Would make sense to be fully prepared, wouldn't it? His attack would be....

21 to hit, and 4 damage.

...and he would designate the target of his attack as the subject of his Shield Block ability.

Init 5! http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=885137

Trebuchet lifts his left arm. "Marvellous! And I was just about to comment on the lack of local fauna!"

With a whining noise, his entire left hand swivels, catches, and retracts back into the oversized cowling of his lower arm, leaving only a large gaping opening.

"Fire evocation, second phase, guidence enabled. Clear firing area."

A dull orange glow lit from within the hole left by his hand...then bright yellow. Then a ball of fire catapulted out, hurtling directly at the northernmost creature!

(OOC: Flaming Sphere, Ref save 15 to avoid)
 

Sepoto:

[sblock] Sepoto's intent, if possible is to take his 30' move by proceeding to the nearest tree within line of sight to the road (preferably one within 10') and ascend it to a branch at least ten feet from the ground using an accelerated Climb (1/2 remaining Move, so 10' up). Ideally this square will be within 10' of Catherine's position. He then will draw his shortbow, nock an arrow, and fire at 'large animal' #9 from his perch, preferably from a hidden position (in round #2 since he draws his weapon, though I have listed the attack roll here with damage and sudden strike damage if needed). [/sblock]

Initiative = 24

Climb = 26

Shortbow Attack Roll = 18

Shortbow Damage = 2

Sudden Strike Damage = 11
