I'm guessing, between Higgs and Shep, there's a good chance Lark ain't gonna be able to make this happen--not that she rolled all that great anyways. ^__^
"Hm, hm, um-um-um, say, porc!" Lark turns away from the bizarre scene and focuses on the remaining foe. "It's, um, really kind of lackwit of you to keep fighting when your friends just ran off! I mean, they didn't even get hurt, they just heard some mean words. Why should you get killed for their sake? Um-um-are you really gonna take that from them? Are you really that gullible? You seemed smarter than that! I, um, guess I was wrong, though."
Taunt: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 5

Move
10 + 2d8 ⇒ 10 + (4, 6) = 20
Sneak
1d10 ⇒ 9
1d6 ⇒ 6wild
Click then slice
1d6 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 4wild

will spend a Beeie to get a better hit if needed.

Higgs moves fast and (I hope with them roles with out a sound) a blur then a "CLICK" sound then the end of the Porcs Spear drops off, as Higgs is gone as fast as she came.

GM I will spend every benny i have to do this

Wild roll again 1d6 ⇒ 5 so nine and nice on Stealth

Benni to hit
1d6 ⇒ 5

DMG from wing blade, 1d4 ⇒ 4 + STR 1d6 ⇒ 5 so again 9

Derpy!? Just how the blue blazes did Derpy get in the past?!

If by some odd chance the porc is still around on my turn,

Night uses enunciate to make her voice loud and telekinesis to make some pebbles and rocks and dust to float and swirl around her then, "RAAAWWWR! Begone you beast!" and the flying stuff starts pelting the porc.Not likely enough to hurt it but it should be frightening.
1d6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 + 2 = 5
1d4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1

Terrible rolls, hopefully I get a bonus from my creative use of spells

Derpy yoinked Docter Hooves time machine, that why she's here now :p

Derpy!? Just how the blue blazes did Derpy get in the past?!

She just doesn't know what went when. 9_6

just thought if i wanted to disarm the the proc i should have used grace
1d8 ⇒ 7

Shep conjures up his most menacing glare "You really wanna go down that road tiny? I think some baccon would go mighty fine with this here blueberry jam" Shep's tongue sweeps across his face licking up as much of the jam as he can reach with it.
Intimidate Roll: 1d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 2

@Lark, I originally forgot about my charisma, which would have left me with 3 and the other roll as negative.

What?! A pony eating bacon?! Eeeewww, that's just not natural. Lol

What?! A pony eating bacon?! Eeeewww, that's just not natural. Lol

If someone doesn't run off this last Porc, we will be eating Bacon. Still waiting to see if someone else deals with this pig before my turn.

lol, that what makes it SCARRY! :P im trying to freak the guy out into leaving lol

Q♦ Higgledy Piggledy
Porc's Agility!1d6 ⇒ 1
There is a 'CLICK' as a blur of blue and gray flashes past the porc. The Porcs looks down in horror as the end of it's spear falls to the ground. As Shep tries to intimidate the porc, it doesn't wait to hear it as it throws the broken spear in the air as it runs away, cloven hooves flailing in the air as it runs off into the eastern distance.

Thats a RAISE, so stunned and a daunt, which ends the encounter. Nice job Higgs!

As the last porc runs off to the east, all that is left is that strange Pegasus mare with the unforgettable eyes as she tries to the the cloud to cooperate.

I adjust my glasses as I watch the last porc flee. "Well now that was sure an experience I won't soon forget. Well done everyone." Looking up to Higgs. "That was a very neat trick you pulled back there. Pegasus are truly impressive creatures indeed. And you too Mr. Shepard. I felt quite brave knowing you were ready to protect us. I must say I am very proud to be part of such a talented team of individuals such as yourself..."

My attention then turns to the newcomer. Adjusting my glasses I look her up and down. "Um hello miss....why were you throwing jam at my friend and hailing on him? If you don't mind me asking that is."

Lark watches the porc leave. She's quiet a moment, reflecting on the broken spear.
"Well, that was a bit weird." She looks up at the newcomer. "Hail, traveller. What brings you to these parts, and wherefore-um-um-um-what are you doing here? Did you really try to attack those things with jam?" She frowns. "Did you mean to rain on Shep? Because I can tell you, that was hail. Not rain. There's a difference. I'm no weather pony, of course. Who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Here's a hint: I'm not. You hit Shep with bucking hail. I don't have to be half pegasus to know that hail isn't rain. Do you have some sort of problem? Your eyes are kind of strange. Really, what's wrong with you? Did somepony hit you on the head? Maybe at--um-um. Pleasant weather we're having today. Besides your hail." --birth. Okay, that's a bit far. Besides, I think I'm probably right--she doesn't seem all there--and I don't want to get a reputation for making the brain-damaged pony cry. Even if I'm wrong, she might know what's going on here. I can put up with an incompetent for a few minutes to get directions, at least.
An insight into Lark's mind. DISCLAIMER: Lark Lighthead does not represent the views of Kobold Cleaver Corp., nor is her being a bit jerky to certain ponies anything new, it is simply a truth that hasn't been revealed up until now because I'm too pressed for time to write a stupid Personality & Appearance spoiler under her profile. Seriously, I'll do it soon. Probably sometime after this Sunday, once I'm back to just one project to worry about for a few days. ;)

wile the others talk to the new comminer Higgs tries and follows the Corcs to see if they where part of a bigger group.

1d4 ⇒ 4 Notice
1d6 ⇒ 5 wild

1d10 ⇒ 2 Stealth
1d6 ⇒ 3 wild

Night follows Higgs, looking at the tracks and such as well, albeit a but slower pace then Higgs,

Stealth: 1d4 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 1

Notice: 1d6 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 6
1d6 ⇒ 6
1d6 ⇒ 3
Total Notice = 15 Oh pony! Almost got a third raise (depending on stealth checks if applicable of course).

Im trying to match the porcs speed, Mintleaf so I think both PC will be at the same speed, unless the Porcs can move fast.

Bump.

"Um hello miss....why were you throwing jam at my friend and hailing on him? If you don't mind me asking that is."

Derpy is a bit frazzled as she can't seem to get the hail to stop."Oh, Um, I well, actually, I meant to hit the--"

"Well, that was a bit weird." She looks up at the newcomer. "Hail, traveller. What brings you to these parts, and wherefore-um-um-um-what are you doing here? Did you really try to attack those things with jam?" She frowns. "Did you mean to rain on Shep? Because I can tell you, that was hail. Not rain. There's a difference. I'm no weather pony, of course. Who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Here's a hint: I'm not. You hit Shep with bucking hail. I don't have to be half pegasus to know that hail isn't rain. Do you have some sort of problem? Your eyes are kind of strange. Really, what's wrong with you? Did somepony hit you on the head? Maybe at--um-um. Pleasant weather we're having today. Besides your hail." --birth. Okay, that's a bit far. Besides, I think I'm probably right--she doesn't seem all there--and I don't want to get a reputation for making the brain-damaged pony cry. Even if I'm wrong, she might know what's going on here. I can put up with an incompetent for a few minutes to get directions, at least.

She tries to answer Larks questions as she goes..."Oh umm, I was just... Oh well Its all I had... Oh well no, er I mean yes. I mean I didn't... I didn't mean to... ... er... umm... Er well I...I'm... I'm SO SORRY!" The pony wails as she flies off back towards town.

What now? The trail to Enchanted Acres is heading north/northeast, the porcs, Night and Higgs are heading Northeast off the trail. Derpy is flying straight towards town to the west. What does the rest of you guys do?

Higgs will carry on
1d10 ⇒ 1Stealth
1d6 ⇒ 1wild

Or may be not,

Night touched Higgs on the shoulder, "Think they will lead us to the filly?"

You can always say I "surprised" you. Night is inclined to continue but will take Higgs response into account.

Higgs jumps and makes a loud baying when Mintleaf puts her hoof on her, so fouced was she on the porcs. The Porcs look round at the sound and scatter.

"O rats tiles!... How can we follow them now,"

She stops and tunes to Mint,

"Sorry about that, you spooked me, well no point following them now they know we are on to them, best head back and tell the others, well we have a place to start after the we talk to the Farmer, let hope Doc Gizom works again"

Higgs starts to head back as a speed that Mintleaf can keep up with.

Thanks that worked out well

I watch as the goofy Pegasus flies off. Looking to Lark and adjusting ny glasses I say. "Now that was a bit uncalled for. That girl was only trying to help I'm sure." I let out a sigh. "Oh well what's done is done." Looking around I adjust my glasses and seem a bit panicked. "Where in Equestria did Mint and Higgs get off too? Where they taken also?"

Lark blinks. Oh, right. "Um, um-um-um, I'll be right back."
She takes off after the wall-eyed pegasus. "Wait! Please, stop!"
Athletics, trying to catch up: 1d4 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 1
Heh. Well, if those are the dice I need to roll (I looked at the book, and wasn't sure) this is gonna be a mixture between funny and sad. If all I need to do is the basic Pace thing, it's 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) + (1, 4) = 13

Shep, seemingly unsuprised or phased by the whole endeavor looks to his party members genuine concern in his eyes "is everypony OK? no one is too shaken up?" after determining that everyone is alright, Shep squares his shoulders in the direction that the last porc ran off in "alright then... we should follow them while the trail is fresh... is anypony here a good tracker?"

[b]"We lost em, sorry the spotted us and headed off into the wilds, darn shame but what the hay"[b]

Higgs comes back with Mint, landing and looking at the others

"We lost em, sorry they spotted us and headed off into the wilds, darn shame but what the hay"

"Alright, let me see if I can find the porcs trail. Between my natural skills and my invention we should have this licked in no time!"

Doc turns to his tracker and attempts to find the porcs...

Intuition or Smarts roll
1d8 ⇒ 6 1d6 ⇒ 3

Not sure if there is a penalty or bonus for attempting to find the porcs with the tracker.

If the tracker does not work...
Notice or intuition roll to track the porcs
1d8 ⇒ 8 1d6 ⇒ 1

Explode
1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

looking a ghast towards what doc just said "who would want to lick a porc?... y'all sure can be strange at times" shep then proceeds to examine the quality of the nearest large rock by sniffing it, licking it and then biting it

After a few minutes of giving chase, Derpy's hoof clips a cloud and she spins out to a halt the air. "Ahhh!I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I-I was just trying to help..." Derpy says in a defensive and sad tone tto Lark as she approaches.

Doc's Nature Check! 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Doc is able to find the porcs trail and follows it. It leads into the north west tablelands outside of town...

Are you guys waiting for lark or getting involved in that conversation, or are you all going on ahead?

Lark stops and hovers in front of Derpy, though her flying is a bit awkward. "Look, I'm really sorry. It's, um-um-um-um, I was kind of out of line there. I mean, um-um, I was really out of line." Lark laughs, a bit quickly. "I mean, sun knows I didn't contribute much there. Didn't even hear them coming, and I'm usually good for that. I was just mad, because, um, I'm not very, um, I really need to do well on this mission, and I'm stressed. You didn't do anything wrong. You made a couple of mistakes, and I acted like a real, um-um, yeah, I'm sorry. Please come back."

"You guys follow the trail while it's fresh. I followed it a bit so I got the general direction, when Lark gets back we will catch up to you."

Night finds a good spot to sit and pulls out her sketch book and starts sketching the scenery.

"Umm, Ok, no problem. I did kinda make a mess of everything." She says as she follows lark back to the group.

When they arrive back to the group, Derpy asks to no one inparticular, "So umm, what was this mission you guys are on?"

Nobody said they were leaving so I assume that everyone waited for Lark.

Darn, oh well.

Night looks up as just then Lark and Derpy show up,
"We are trying to find a foal-napped foal. Porcs were involved somehow. Just be careful with the clouds please."

She puts her sketch away then starts heading off after the porcs, "Come on, we got work to do. Doc, we lost them just over here..."

Higgs is waiting for you

"Great Scott! I found the trail. Looks like they're heading northwest of here. So let's roll out."

Doc starts following the trail left by the fleeing proc.

"Oh, that's great, but weren't we supposed to go to the farm first? Not that we can't take it to the porcs directly, but it seems like it might be good to know what we're getting into, right?"

"Doc your amazing, way who was that dippy doppy head back there? where did she come from?"

hes seems happy with some thing to do.

Night points up as she tsk-tsks at Higgs.

"What? They stole a foal? That's terrible! Why would they need to steal a foal for? The porcs just seem to want to steal our food... Maybe those porcs are worse than I thought! Good luck! I hope you save that pony!" Derpy replies.

Since it seems most of the party has been wanting to follow the porcs, and in interest of keeping things moving, I'm going to continue with the group chasing down the porcs for now.

As the group starts to make their way through the tablelands, both Lark and Shep's get a sinking feeling Feel free to describe yiour danger sense going off. Lark, you got a raise, so you negated surprise for the party.

As you guys continue on the tracks, you are lead between two close plateaus and a large group of "porcs" jump out, blocking the path forward.. However these porcs look a bit different. They are about half the height of the other porcs, and they have a much cuter "piggy" look to them versus the boar look. They brandish the same pointed stick like spars that the bigger porcs did. "GOW UHWAY POWNAYS!" They all oink in unison!

INITIATIVE
Q♣ Higgledy Piggledy
J♥ Doctor Gearbox
10♥ Porc Chops (1,2,3,4)
9♥ Nightflight Mintleaf
4♥ Porc Chops (5,6,7,8)
4♣ Lark Lighthead
3♦ Shepard Jeremiah Pie
3♣ Elemental Al

The gap between the plateaus are 8 yards wide (4 squares) and the porc chops are standing 4 wide, with another porc behind them. The plateaus are 6 yards tall and are very wide. It would mean losing your trail to go another way.

Already uneasy, Lark suddenly stops walking. "Guys, um, um, those plateaus are sort of...um...brace yourselves?"
When the porcs emerge, Lark looks confused. "Um, are these foals or something? They look kind of different."

shep looks... then just starts shaking his head. "alright... y'all have had yer fun, now where are the grown ups? we need ta talk with em.

"Now we just came to get our missing foal. We don't want any trouble. She smaller than us, with no mark on her flank. Now why don't you just let us past to get her and there won't be any trouble. See we are friendly ponies."

If this merits a persuasion Clash of Wills…

1d8 ⇒ 5

Higg's go's Vertically up at speed, she getting as much space as she can between the pointy sticks and herself.
10 + 2d8 ⇒ 10 + (3, 2) = 15
1d6 ⇒ 2

As Higgs springs 15 yards straight up into the air, doc tries to talk one of the porc chops down.

Both Doc and the porc chop have a 0 charisma. Doc gets a +1 to his roll due to having a higher smarts die than the porc Chop, so the # to beat is 6

Porc chop 1 smarts! 1d6 ⇒ 1
Doc beats the porc chop by 5, which is a raise. So the porc chop is shaken, takes a daunt, and is incapacitated!
Porc Chop 1 drops his spear and ponders over the words that Doc Gearbox has said.

Porc Chops 2, 3, and 4 hoot and holler, tap their asses with their spear ends and try to taunt the group. Porc 2 focuses on Higgs who has just taken to the air, whilst 3 and 4 focuses on the two big earth ponies leading the group.

Porc Chops 2 Taunt Vs Higgs! 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Porc Chops 3 Taunt Vs Doc! 1d6 ⇒ 3
Porc Chops 4 Taunt Vs Shep! 1d6 ⇒ 1

Whoever has a higher charisma gets a +1 bonus in the opposed roll in a taunt clash of wills. Since everyone is at charisma 0, the character with the higher spirit gets a +1 bonus to the roll. Porc 2 has a higher spirit than Higgs, so he gets a +1. Shep and Doc have higher spirits than the porcs, so they ADD a +1 to the rolls. Good luck!

Nightflight is up next!

Defending against the taunt…

Spirit 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Wild 1d6 ⇒ 5

I don't know if you get to roll again in this instance, but if you do…

1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

1d4 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1
1d6 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4 Wild dice if needed

Well that's darn lucky Higg's just ran away as after that roll that's just what she would have done this next round. All them Pointy sticks.

"Yikes!"
says Higg's as she jumps up at the sight of Porcs and pointy sticks.

Higgs has become []shaken[/i]. On your next turn you must spend your action recollecting yourself with a spirit roll dc 4. if you get a raise (8 or higher) you can act as well. Alternatively, you can spend a bennie at any time to automatically recover from shaken.

spirit 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
wild 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Shep looms up over the porkchops i think you little ones best hurry home, the adults need to talk -.- "

"Easy, Shep, these may be a different group, they look different then the others."

She looks at the porcs, "I want to speak to your leader, we hope to end the fighting."
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
1d6 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
