[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6657268, member: 6775039"] For a [B]very [/B]brief moment I consider trying to get my bow off my back, an arrow strung, and somehow get a shot off to scare away the cubs from setting off the inevitable calamity. I quickly come to my senses. I have to get down fast and get clear of this nature's wrath that is about to set down upon me. Throwing caution to the wind, I just rely on instinct, feel, and brute strength. Grabbing every handhold and putting my foot in every fissure, no matter how precarious or unsound, I scurry down the vertical face like a spider. [sblock]Defy Danger (Str) 6, 1 + 0 = 7 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.[/sblock] This is the closest I've ever come to death in the entirety of my life. For a fleeting moment, I think of my loved ones and my duty. My heart is wrenched as I consider that I'll never see them again and I'll fail to fulfill my oaths. I certainly won't be able to signal Otthor as we had planned! Sheer adrenaline throws my body into action. I find myself making a quick invocation of the primal spirit of the mountain, Stoneroot, hoping that he will protect me in my time of need. I cut toward the group on the left that Otthor was going to fireball, which would be my companions' right. [sblock]Defy Danger (Dex) 3, 3 + 3 (+1 using my Preparation from Bolster) = 10[/sblock] I'm sure Three Bird's Falcons weren't waiting on the landing to be obliterated by the avalanche. When I spot one of them flying in the air around the disaster, I speak to them in their language so they can signal to Three Bird that I'm in position and ready. Otthor will take back his Invisibility magic shortly so I find a nearby rock or notch to obscure myself, get my bow out and string an arrow. [/QUOTE]
