Granta's Evergreen Arc #2 (core) (Inactive)

Game Master Granta

Eurkar headed to join the others on the other side of the stream, doing his best to not get caught between the flying arrows and spells.

Still yelling out his rowdy song and slapping out the beat on his thigh, Jak rushes recklessly forward, splashing across the water and coming nearly into range of the huge creature.

@Jakwin: Acrobatics to jump the stream or Swim to go through it.

• Eurkar - Total Defense
  
• Jakwin -
  
• Minotaur - 20 damage
  
• Janira - disarmed

Anastasia gracefully leaps the river, but her spell fails to stun the minotaur. The bottom of Jack's bow gets caught in some underbrush, and both his arrows soar over the enemy, but Gardol manages a solid hit. Eurkar follows Anastasia across the water, but pulls up short in a defensive crouch.

Enraged at the elf's magic, the minotaur switches his attacks to her--and with brutal effect. Janira tries to disarm the minotaur again, but ends up dropping her own whip.

Everybody is up.

@Anastasia: Roll to stabilize.

The fight seems to slow to a crawl as the beast rips into Anastasia. Jak’s song rises to a fevered, shouted pitch as he steps into the creature’s range. He had to present another threat, but he also had to … ya know … not die.

He hacks at the minotaur’s body in a massive two-handed strike, then slings his shield into place at the last moment.

May be too late now, but I forgot to add +1 damage to my last 2 hits with the Longbow for Janira's Inspire Courage...

Anastasia falls down, her long limbs tangled in weird-looking shapes.

Feeling Anastasia's pain, the toad jumps out from her pocket and tries to stop the bleeding.

"Ribbit..." it croaks sadly.

Jack swallows hard when he sees how effortlessly Anastasia is cut down, but he grits his teeth, and keeps firing.

Eurkar moved forward, trying to avoid the big axe so he could start punching its lights out.

@Prince Very Charming: I'll allow it at a -2 penalty, because of your lack of hands.

Jack and Gardol each land another arrow shot, while Eurkar takes a vicious swing from the large axe, just before Jakwin brings down the minotaur.

We just need to make sure Anastasia is healed quickly.

Gardol will run at a sprint towards Anastasia...and will cure her with Janira's wand if he gets there before someone else heals her...

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Jak leaves the blade buried in the dying monster as he drops to his knees beside Anastasia. He draws on his gift, chanting healing words into her bleeding body.

Then he waits, hoping it was enough to keep her alive until Gardol could bring her back to consciousness.

Eurkar grunted in pain as the axe slashed him. With the foe down, he waited to make sure that Anastasia was alright before getting his injuries tended.

the Half-orc looked towards Janira as he waited "Janira, are you alright? he asked.

Anastasia opens her eyes, then quickly jumps up.

"Danger! Where?" she shouts, and looks around, stressed. Then see sees the downed minotaur, and calms down. She runs to Janira and grabs her hand.

"Janira, must come, Aroden, city, couldn't recognize all, must continue! Help!" she tries to motivate the halfling, gently tugging her to the cave.

When it's clear Anastasia's fine, Jak jumps to his feet. "Holy hells!" he shouts, dancing a quick jig over the minotaur's body, "That was a minotaur! We won!"

He pauses,hs face lighting up even further, "Can you imagine the stories we'll be able to tell?"

Janira runs around giving everybody hugs, "I'm so glad you found me in time! And tell me, what did you discover in the caverns? Did you talk to any gillmen?"

"We did," Jak grunts as he yanks the blade from the minotaur's side, "Name is Uurom ... or something. I think we saw the whole cave system, too."

Gardol gives a shy smile. "Glad you're OK Janira. Thanks for leading the Minotaur away. Here are some notes I took in the caves...and here's your wand, heavily used, I'm afraid..."
