Herbie
Narissiel
Quon (whirr click bot)

As Viney releases Minna she quickly staggers back towards her friends, drawing her hammer as she goes. "So we're being hunted? I heard a story about this once; some rich guy with his own island and way too much time on his hands...but I'll tell you guys more later, if we live long enough!"

"Psst, Koani...uh, you got that wand handy again?" Minna whispers, coming to a stop next to the druid and adopting a defensive position.
__________

Minna moves, drawing her weapon as she does, and then goes Total Defense, bumping her AC up to 17 for the moment.

"So we are to hunt you down? Why exactly?" Quon runs towards path 2 and hides in the trees

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Narissiel hurries down the trail near her companions with her bow in hand.

[ooc]Double move.[ooc]

No you overgrown Coqui! We are to hunt YOU. WE are the hunt!

percept red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
percept green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
percept purple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
percept yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Yeah, didn't think so.

Quonnery, Quon Quonnery, disappears into the trees.

Where'd he go? he was just right there.

Koani reaches over to tap Minna.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Then she stands with her bow pointed at red and yellow.
"I serve the Great Hunter, and I will not be treated as prey."

Distraught and upset at being called 'Prey', Ayla hold up her guard, before thinking a little more about her footwork. "Ayla Strong! Ayla Tough! Ayla No Lose!"

Move Action for Martial Flexibility (Step Up) and a Readied Action to take a swing if Purple or Green get hostile.

Herbie tiptoes acros the grove towards the rest of the party. Gulping rather loudly he gets to a nice safe spot in the trees and attempts to blend in.

Stealth in forest: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Swift action to change into plant mode ;) becoming one with the forest. Tree shape+10 Natural armor woot!

Not going to bother rolling vs Herbie, best I can get is a 30.

Last time on They aren't running. Why aren't they running? Ah dammit! The tree went and disappeared. The Hunt has given you a chance to run, but Quon and Herbie have decided to leave, Ayla turns into Wolverine as she brings out her claws, and Koani glares down at the two farthest from her.

***Round 2***
Ayla
Ronronne (green)
Koani
Clortho (yellow)
Minna
Herbie
Narissiel
Xox (purple)
Garrow
Quon (red)

...right...
So Ayla's action happens...OW. You have CLAWS!

Minna, you have 19/22 HP.

Green one attacks Minna:

claw #1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
dmg #1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

claw #2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
dmg #2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Minna has been tagged.

Koani
Green

Koani sends an arrow flying at yellow.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Then she asks Blarg to go scratch him.
HA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Blarg goes to attack the bad one who his Koani told him to get. It must be a bad one, since Koani said to get it. Yep, yep, yep. Get the bad one.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

At my desktop. Going to say Ayla tagged the Purple one as she is right next to that one.

Koani's hit with the arrow is solid. Very solid. The plucked chicken, Blarg, rushes in and finishes off the yellow dude. Dammit! I can't cast one of my all time favourite spells now.

Edit: I goofed. The attacks that were here did not happen.

Minna
Herbie
Narissiel
Xox (purple)

Your quest to recover the color palette and close the first world rift continues with the hunt...

Minna
Herbie
Narissiel

Herbie reverts back into leshy form free action, takes a quick step closer to green move and throws a seedpod.

Seedpod+PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Bludgeoning Dmg+PBS: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Green to make DC14 Fort Save or suffers Limited Vision for 1 Minute

"Haha. Is this the point where the hunters become the hunted!" the little leshy spouts off more in statement than a question. He then melts back into the forest Swift action: Tree Shape

Narissiel takes a step forward, takes aim at the green hunter and lets her arrow fly!

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 16 (Includes point-blank shot, and a penalty for firing into melee)
Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

green fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Are you trying to seed my new business? Its for eye protection.

Green turns to Minna with a cavalier attitude. 'Tis but A scratch!

Claws come out at Ayla...
Purple attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

same as the 1st: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Srsly????

Red steps over his fallen comrade, claws at Blaarg.

attack 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

attack 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Oh come on!

**Whir click bot**Quon casts mage armour.

***deleted posts due to Ayla is top of the round***

Ayla you're up.

Weeeee Running a Special and another Scenario over the weekend ground my PbP existence to a halt! Back into the fray!

"Horn man, how you hunt? To hunt, must hit!"
Swinging her fist at the Horned Fey, she nimbly steps around to his back, making room for others to take a swing!

Piranha punch!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 1 = 15Piranha Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

"This how hunt! Work with Friend!"

Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Ayla isn't as nimble as she thinks she is.

attack #1 Purple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage #1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

But then again, maybe she is.

Minna is right there so....

attack #1 green: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage #1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Minna screams as one claw connects.

attack #2 green: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage #2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Gets mad when the other one does not.

Be emboldened. Emboldened gets to go.

Koani
Minna
Herbie
Narissiel
Xox (purple)
Garrow (red)

Blarg bites and tears at the red bad one that Koani told him to get. It's bad, get it!

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
talon 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
talon 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

bite damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
talon damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

If red is still standing after Blarg's attack, Koani shoots at red. Otherwise, she will shoot at purple.

attack: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 4 = 4

using Folio reroll on that one
attack reroll, with stars: 1d20 + 2 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 7 - 4 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Pointy ear knows how to shoot arrows. Care to join the hunt?

Minna

Narissiel
Xox (purple)
Garrow (red)
Quon

Narissiel fire another arrow at the green hunter!

Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

We're almost done.

Narissiel lands her shot right over green's heart, unfortunately it clipped a rib not quite removing him from combat.

Minna
Herbie
Purple
Red

"RAHHHHH! I've HAD it!" Minna bellows, tired of getting slapped and slashed and gouged and poked. Taking a quick step back to get some room, she swings her lucerne hammer as hard as she can at pesky Green...

Attack vs. Green (Hammer Time; Bloodrage): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

...and is pretty sure she demolishes him!

"WHO ELSE WANTS SOME!?"

Yep. Had you done that earlier, it would have been less for me to track.

Well, I got home and rather than being hit with concrud I got hit with a major case of 'holy crap I'm tired' - which is a bit puzzling considering I got decent sleep every night I was away (6 to 7 hours). Maybe I actually *was* getting the concrud and my body went into sleep mode so it could fight it off? I'm not sure!

Melting back into his Leshy self Herbie runs around the fight, finding another tree friend to stand next to Plant Speech"How you doin?" he oddly winks at the tree.

Lining up his shot he throws another SeedPod at the one in Purple

Seedpod+PBS-Into Melee: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 2
Bludgeoning Dmg+PBS: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
If hits; Purple to make DC14 Fort Save or suffers Limited Vision for 1 Minute

Not bothering to watch the outcome he leans against the tree and morphs back into Vine Form wrapping about the base of the tree.

Free Action: Release Tree Shape.
Move Action: Move 20ft
Standard: Attack
Swift action: Tree Shape

If it hits? On a 2??? A gelatinous cube has a better AC!

red #1vs Dino: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

red #2 vs Dino: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
dmg #2 vs Dino: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Meanwhile, I'm the other side of the glen...

purple #1 vs Ayla: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
purple dmg #1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Quon comes out of hiding, darts up to purple and slashes with his sword!

That darn cat! Stand still so I can hit you!!

Ayla Tough! No Hit Ayla! Ayla Hit!

Quon comes out of hiding long enough to give Purple his final poke for the day.

Only the Christmas duo is left standing. Green and Red.

Ayla
Ronronne (green)

Hey R. Sweet! Where is this Green one again? I'm only seeing the Purple Target.

I think Minna clobbered Green out of existence on her last turn? :)
