As the train lurches forward Tomid's low center of gravity aids him in keeping his balance.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Kiriko subconsciously shifts her center to compensate for the train's movement.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Acrobatics, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The train jerks and heaves as it is moving forward, almost slamming you to the ground, but your quick wits keep you on your feet, so no one falls over

Tomid

Sid

Kiriko and Bennevy you two are too focused on maintaining your balance to notice anything unusual

Hey! We just hit something. Tomid exclaims. What was it?

Sid look off the train window and try to identify the creature.

Knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"What was that, some kind of stony winged creature? Like a cathedral gargoyle?"

Sid

"I saw a stony creature, similar to the gargoyles you see on some cathedral, but alive. Well, moving at least. I have heard of some creature like that, but never seen one. It was hit by the train."

Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Bennevy listens to Sid's description, and tries to compare it to anything he may have read about during his research.

Bennevy

"It could be a gargoyle, although I've read of other things that have skin the color and texture of stone as well," he says with a small shrug. "I doubt the train is going to stop long enough for us to get out and have a long at the remains, though."

"this feels fishy"

"creatures like that don't fly against trains for no reason "

You think the train is under attack? Tomid says as he cautiously looks out the window to see if there are more of the creatures. That was a pretty poor attack.

"if it is an unusually tough creature, it could be clinging to the outside of the train. If that is also the case, let us hope we are not its prey."

"If I have seen what happened well, it was crushed by the train wheels. Though or not I doubt there are so many creatures that can survive that."

"where there is one, there coluld be more"

why don't you guys make a knowledge religion check

Knowledge, Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Bennevy

"It could have been a Grendelite. One of the old gods has cultists known for making suicidal attacks while under the effects of hallucinogenic drugs. Trains have been known to be a favorite target, for some reason. Don't ask me why."

The Elf and the dog both roll their eyes at Bennevy's comment and she goes "Doesn't surprise me, bloody Grendelites"

Grendelites? Sid try to remember what he has heard about them.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Sid

"From what I recall they want to kill for pleasure. No, actually they find pleasure in people suffering. I can get why they would make a suicide attack, but only if that would cause harm to a lot of people.
Dying without actually harming anyone seem off.
Maybe this is only part of a larger attack, better get ready."

Sid take up is armor and start dunning it, while keeping his morningstar nearby, ready to grab it.

"stupid"
Kiriko's tail coils around the handle of one of her kunai, her hand rests on her wakazashi.
"but an enemy that doesn't value his own life should never be underestimate.

Stupid and Crazy. Tomid agrees.

As you talk you begin to hear a loud grinding noise coming from wheels beneath your feet

"Oh §^@#!"
...
"I was really hoping to avoid this. We should go to Lord Rosewood cabin. Losing our employer the first day would leave a black mark on our records."
Sid tries to inject a bit of humor to keep the moral e up.
Looking the elders couple at the other side of the room and raising his voice to be heard.
"Maybe you should follow us until we aren't sure of what is happening. We have some martial ability."

"let me guess, it's not supposed to make that kind of sound" Kiriko deadpans while changing her stace to prepare for sudden deceleration

"Sid's right. We had better see to our patron's good health," Bennevy adds, moving towards Rosewood's cabin.

On it. Tomid says rushing back.

Alright you guys meet up with Lord Rosewood and take the elderly couple with you, any preparations you wish to make?

Seeing that Lord Rosewood is ok Tomid proceeds to hide so that he can ambush. He pretty much vanishes from everyone's sight.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Sid get ready to cast bless if needed.

Alright everyone make a DC5 acrobatics check, as the train lurches once more, the grinding sound getting ever louder

The nimble halfling has little trouble with the lurching train.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Acrobatics, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Bennevy gets jostled hard, but manages to stay on his feet.

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (3) - 3 = 0

"Ouch!"

Sid fall flat on his face.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Kiriko easily compensates for the lurch

Ok everyone but Sid and the old lady manage to stay on their feet. You hear a loud wail coming from the old lady, it seems she hurt her self on the fall.

Sid give a rapid look to the old lady to see if she is badly wounded and start to rise.

make a heal check

Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Sid

Raising up.
[b]"Lady, you are wounded. Let me help you!"[b]
Sid approach the old lady and try to set her leg.

If we have the time:
Heal check, take 10: 10 + 6 = 16
to set the leg straight, then Cure Light Wound to heal the injury.
Hopefully it should repair the damage.

Ok roll the amount you heal for the cure light wound spell

Cure Light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Sid

The lady stands up, with some difficulty

So what is everyone doing?

"We might want to move; either somewhere defensible or to the nearest exit," Bennevy suggests.
