>>172871>>172869After Posey is done healing up, she proceeds on her mission.
>>172873>>172876Neela and Girka are silent for a moment. Equestria is after all a land of magic, harmony, and ultimately friendship. And perhaps Kira helped them see that. When the 800 lbs snake blocking the only exit to the room asked them if they really wanted to die for a few shirts, it seems to have left an impression. That, or they
really would rather the neighbors
not call the police over their loud arguing.
Girka: "Oh... Okay... Fine, you can take some things. But if Dehan asks what happens to his things, I am going to tell him the truth."
Neela: "You can keep this... let me get a few things and get out of here."
Neela takes a bag, gathers a few items, then tries to go to another room. She avoids physically contacting Kira if she has to walk over her, or just waits for her to move.
>>172871The diamond dog is defeated, and while Posey could try to finish off the hovel, the trinkets inside seem hardly worth it.
Moving across the ship, Posey goes past the axels and down a ladder and off the ship, onto a birm of dirt.
As everyone knows that the maximum effective range of .303 British is 200 yards tops, Posey presumably travels at least that distance. While the canopy is thin, Posey does find a large tree with hanging branches and small green leaves to rest under, positioned on a small rise in the soil away from the moving water. She can hear the sounds of the birds and the insects, and perhaps thankfully, not that much else.
>>172881Posey heals herself up, gathers her wits, and plans her next course of action. She looks rather gray, not taking the sun well.
"Get a hold of yourself, Posey. You're supposed to be the one who'll bring Equestria to its knees. You're a daytrotter, a little sun won't hurt you..." She mutters, flattening her sensitive ears to mask the sounds of running water.
Posey continues her search for the tank.
>>172882>>172881Does Posey need to roll anything to keep searching?
>>172883To
search? Not necessarily, if she assumes that just going to the left she'd eventually find that same path from earlier. Probably.
>>172881Kira's not rude, she lets the deer leave the room to go to another. She smiles to herself, satisfied that she's already fitting into the ideals of how Equestria should be.
>>172884Then that's what she does, marching onward to the battlefield.
"I should've come at night..." she complains to herself
What does she find?
>>172886A rustle, and
[1d20+8 = (1+8) = 9][1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13][1d20+8 = (10+8) = 18]>>172885Neela goes into another room and takes a bag, gathering more things. Girka watches, but now things are more silent. When Girka is not looking, though not bothering to hide from Kira, Neela stands upright on a bed, moves a vent in the ceiling, and looks in, taking out a couple items. She looks around to make sure the others are not looking, and stuffs it in a saddle bag.
Neela comes to Kira and says
"Could you help me carry these things?" She looks around
"It's a shame we have to leave the furniture behind. These are good pieces. I may want to come back for them later if we get find an apartment without it."
>>172887>>172886Posey is jumped from behind by something large, though it fails to penetrate her chainmail armor.
>>172887If those are attack rolls, Posey's new flat-footed AC in chain shirt is 17.
>>172888I'm going to just assume it passed Posey's passive perception and got the surprise round.
Rolling Initiative
[1d20+7 = (12+7) = 19] (-2, because sunlight phobia)
>>172890>1d3 with no mod?The claw takes across Posey's body and does no damage.
Posey gasps, and suppresses a laugh
"Ahaaaieee! That tickles!"
She squints, still dazzled by the sunlight, and tries to make out her assailant.
>>172892>>172891There's a +1 but eh
[1d20+4 = (9+4) = 13]She can see it's some sort of opportunistic predator who likely smelled the carion
>>172893>>172892But she does win moving next
>>172894She begins with a free action knowledge check to identify the organism (bird, reptile, mammal, wtf is it?)
[1d20+3 = (17+3) = 20]And then she follows up with a charnel touch
[1d20+4 = (3+4) = 7] >>172887Kira nods and slithers in as best as she can. Neela discovers one of the many benefits to having a lamia around, as she is indeed quite strong and is able to help her carry a good many things. Kira shows interest in what Neela grabbed from the vent, if she can see what it was.
"You said the lease for this place was up in two months, right? I'm guessing that means they only have two months left to live in this apartment. Maybe we can get the furniture back when they're ready to leave?"
>>172895>>172896The creature jumps back, having itself failed a basic touch attack, and in this moment, Posey can recognize it as a female Panthera Onca, or jaguar. It again attempts to bite and claw at Posey
[1d20+6 = (15+6) = 21][1d20+6 = (10+6) = 16][1d20+6 = (5+6) = 11]>>172897A coin pouch, something wrapped up... It appears she had several items in there
"In two months?"
Neela tilts her head
"What are we going to use in the mean time?"
>>172895Posey ends her turn with a 5 ft step away from whatever she's looking at.
"I'm not quite dead yet!"
>>172898The bite hits
Let's see if it can pass Posey's DR
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE bad kitty!"
>>172901>>172902Looks like Posey is now grappled
It's her turn though
>>172901Posey is finally bleeding, and she is angry.
Also, I completely forgot about her frightful presence, that could come in handy now...
It only activate when she attacks, charges or casts a spell though, so she'll have to win a grapple first.
This is embarrassing...
>>172903Posey rolls to break the grapple, cursing as her body dangles limply by her neck.
[1d20+5 = (17+5) = 22] (+1 Masochism)
>>172904>>172906She does at least break free from the jaguar's hold
>it would take this cat 13-15 rounds to kill Posey>somehow Posey is still losingI'm merely pretending.
>>172907Posey is missing a chunk of her throat.
Having spent her standard action, Posey takes a 5 ft step back.
>>172908The cat stands for a moment, staring at Posey, then lunges to bite again
[1d20+6 = (13+6) = 19] >>172909Aha! Miss, even with my newly reduced AC
"Take this, you overgrown familiar!"
Posey makes a charnel Touch, which this time activates her Frightful Presence (Will DC 21)
[1d20+4 = (15+4) = 19]Boop!
>>172913>>172911The creature hisses, flails, and runs off into the undergrowth
>>172898"Well, how much does furniture cost here in Equestria?"
>>172914"Aha! Sweet victory!" Posey shouts, still sweating from the sun, and now covered in bite marks and scratches.
She takes a moment to stitch herself back together, and continues on her journey.
I will note for future reference that Posey's Unnatural Aura trait makes animals not like her (the buff to fear DCs is good though).
>>172915"It can get expensive. Hundreds of bits." She answers
>>172919Rolling Survival with revised lower Wisdom score and penalty to doing literally anything in the daylight
[1d20-1 = (1-1) = 0] >>172920Why the fuck did I roll unprompted?
>>172920>>172921Well that's easy. Just go right.
>>172922>right................. Okay, Posey goes right, until she sees tanks, or discovers a reason not to do that.
>>172918"Well..." Kira makes a motion with her head towards the bags on the back of the lamia's tail, now laden with many Bits.
>>172924Neela looks at the bag, then back up at Kira
>>172923Posey happens upon a wide lake. The question is, how to cross it? And surely those machines have to be around her
somewhere >>172925She motions again to her bag.
"You know...with what we did before we came here?"
>>172925Is the lake running water?
>>172928Posey walks into the lake, walking along the bottom of it.
With her low light vision and Darkvision, she should be able to see a considerable distance.
