To sword and shield once past that. If my horses are attacked, then use rings. GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] I feel stupid. We had several phases to head into cover and all we did was stay there in the open road. I knew how fast they were but messed up TURNS vs PHASES. Duh. GM: Ack. It was 6 phases so only 1.5 turns. But the dwarves left out that there was no cover. Again if I had just posted them getting close it would've been 4 updates or 2 weeks of nothing but them closer. So sped things up till they got to longbow range. From Kiet: [Re: actions] Scott, You are correct on going to tulwar and shield after final javelin. After that, if unengaged by any hippos, help out new party members first, then others. Also correct on 'other' actions. GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Western Marentia - Hills] [Novehas 20th, 1634TH] [Time: 9:03:18 am] [Phase 6] As the hippogriffs close within seconds of attack the group tenses up. Corona circles the party but does not attack yet as it would be bad to attack the large group alone. Fremea fires a regular arrow at one of the Hippogriffs and hits #9 in the left upper wing doing 4 points to it. Kiet taps the jewel on the last javelin and aims at one of the creatures diving. The javelin flies so swift and accurate it pieces the creature's right shoulder and exits through the back. Doing 27 points of damage as it kills the beast instantly even before the spell takes effect. Kiet is a bit surprised at the force of the blow and watches as the creature falls some 80 feet down the road. He smiles and then reaches for his tulwar. At the same time Pyan fires his last arrow before he will likely have to fight melee. He hits the same creature #9 that Fremea just hit. The arrow hits in the lower left abdomen doing 8 more points. Arawn aims his bow and fires hitting #4 for 6 points. Z'leyra fires her sling but the bullet misses a creature. The remaining hippogriffs dive and select targets. Hippogriff #5 turns and dives toward Corona but at the last second Corona weaves and avoids the strike. Hippogriff #9 who is already wounded dives toward Fremea and grabs at her doing 3 points of damage past her armor on her left leg. Fremea tried to duck but was just too slow by a few inches. Wounded #11 dives toward Kell. The creature grabs for the trader and gets his left arm doing 5 points but releases as his weight is just a bit too much. Hippogriff #2 and #4 dive toward Red Shirt. Maybe that red is a huge target. At the last second Red Shirt dives and rolls avoiding the first creature. But #4 claws at the man's right leg as he rolls away doing 5 points of damage shredding his leg. Hippogriff #8 dives toward the other cousin Reddof and the man is too slow. The man ducks but the talon claws his neck doing 5 points of damage. Creature #10 who is still a bit dazed and #12 dive toward the one horse closest which is Kiet's pack horse. They both reach out with talons trying to grab the horse. A second later they struggle and flap wings vigorously but fail to do the initial uplift. The horse panics and forces the creatures to land on the ground from the failure. Unali had a half second warning of the creature attacking Kiet's horse thanks to her magical dagger. She uses her strong legs and forces the horse around and charges the beast on the ground. Coming close she stabs both daggers at #10 doing 15 and 17 points each. The magical dagger pierces the creature's neck doing 15 points. The other normal dagger stabs the creature's upper rear back doing 17 more points both kill the beast. Fremea places her bow on her back and pulls her dagger ready to fight since creatures are too close to the party now for arrows. Kell thrusts his spear at the one who attacked him but the beast is too far away now. Red Shirt who had to drop to the ground and avoid the attack stands and slashes the air in case the creature is still around. Reddof swings his sword at his beast but it is too far away. The dancer watches nearby too far to attack this time but is worried. She is so small the beast could carry her away. Kiet growls at his mount being attacked and reaches for his tulwar and shield. [Time: 9:03:21 am] [Phase 7] Pyan can't fire toward Kiet as it might hit him so he turns to find Hippogriff #11 which just attacked Kell flee away. He reloads and fires. The arrow pierces the right wing doing 4 more points. At that same time Z'leyra and Arawn fire on #11 as well. Arawn fires and hits #11 in the left shoulder doing the final damage to kill the beast. Z'leyra's sling bullet also hits but the beast is already dead. With tulwar in hand, Kiet raises a hand and activates his pinky ring pointing at the creature trying to take his riding horse for a nice night of breeding. The beast howls as the smokeless flame engulfs him doing 21 points of damage. Half of the beasts are down and the 6 take to the air including the one on the ground just attacked by Kiet's ring. They select new targets as they rise and dive. Hippogriff #5 turns toward and dives toward Arawn. He tries to claw the Druid but misses. Creature #9 dives at Kell and claws but his armor helps to protect him. Beast #2 dives toward Unali enraged by the loss of allies it screeches and claws. But Unali's magical dagger gives her a half second warning and she raises her normal dagger to deflect the beast's talon just in time. Hippogriff #10 dives toward Zabyra. The warhorse sees Arawn just attacked and by instinct moves 3 feet away quickly to retreat. This causes the creature to miss her by inches but does grab her turban and flies away. Creature #8 dives for Red Shirt again but the man dodges and the creature misses but the move forces the creature to get closer to the ground. Still enraged and burning hippogriff #12 dives for Red Shirt's horse but in the pain of the fire he misses the wild attack. Z'leyra places her sling back on her belt and draws her sword. She tries to chase after the beast that attacked Zabyra but doesn't get there in time as it flies away. Unali urges her horse toward the one attacking Red Shirt's horse. She stands in the saddle and swings wildly her daggers hoping it can hit at least a wing tip. In fact the magical dagger does hit and finishes the burning beast as it dives to the ground dead. Corona dives and fires on the beast fleeing from Zabyra but misses his fire dart eyes. Kell charges and thrusts at one beast but the spear just misses the creature. Red Shirt and Reddof both as one charge #8 which just attacked Red Shirt. They leap at the low flying beast trying to get back to the air. Red Shirt slashes doing 12 points to the beast's lower right abdomen. Reddof slashes up and hits the beast in the neck doing 5 more points. Kiet charges to help Red Shirt and his cousin. He swings his tulwar but misses as the beast rises to the air. Actions? Comments? Next Update....Friday.. GM: Ok. That was a fun update of sorts. Lots of blood spilt. But I will do 2 more phases for Friday. As you can see unless they land it will be hard to fight them unless you get close enough in their dive-up sequence as they are rising back up. But 5 are still left (3 are hurt bad with the other 2 mildly hurt). I will start this update Thursday afternoon NOON EST. So posts after that I may miss. There are now 16 targets on map for Hippos to select so a D16. So somewhat good odds won't be selected. GM: Arawn - I figure using sword now since they are doing dive bombing runs and could be hard to fire on nearby allies. IF not correct me. BTW I got your post too late. As I said I'd be working on this one at noon today and your emails came in too late. I could've added it but it would've delay me till Tuesday. So I will try to do it for Friday. Sorry. Fremea - Will assume using dagger now and chasing targets. Kiet - I didn't pick your horse! It was a D14 random target. Once one selected your horse another had to help lift it away. So was just random. Lucky for you they failed or they would've lifted it away. But you did very well this update. :) Zabyra - The horse helped you. If it had been a non war horse it might've ended worse. :< Pyan - I will assume you switch to either Sling or Spear since they are now over/among allies. Let me know otherwise. Z'leyra - I assume sword still but it will be a matter of chasing them down if in range.
