Survival: Kira uses her keen survival senses, combined with her actual senses, to discern what creatures and wildlife call this island home, through clues left behind by wildlife such as feathers or droppings, her flicking her tongue to pick up scents in the air, and the knowledge she's already picked up on the geography and history of the island.

Hey, just sayin'.

Kira really hopes that's just the remains of a seagull that got mulched by the seaplane's propellers, and not the result of a hereto-unknown predator stalking the island or nearby oceans. Anyways, once Brie gets the one end of the rope secured to the top of the cliff, it's time for the party to enact Posey's plan on how to get everyone up it (unless there are any objections to her plan).

Silver steps forward to be one of the first this mystery pony will encounter, not only as he's pretty beefy and can take a hit, but as he can also attempt to communicate with the pony whether they're a Navy pony survivor or a Stalliongrader on patrol.

Hide: Kira meanwhile attempts to hide, using the cloud and water as cover.

Dust decides he doesn't like where this is going. To run like that you're either running from something, or to hunt something.
He taps his flail to the earth, and mutters something obscured by the waves and his flail, but the gem in the end glows. Ponies paying attention can see a small ripple travel in the ground from Dust to the runner, before the runner seems to sink a little in the ground.

If it isnt clear:
Brie's ascendant spot check was pertaining to looking for significant landmarks, points of interest and - didnt think I had to spell this one out - potential threats.

Unknown ponies,... well golly, those classify as potential threats. So why Brie didnt notice the pony from his elevated position, let alone have the chance to signal the party is probably a lapse in judgement we can iron out.

Having said, I am already in bed, I made a point of expressly and emphatically asking for advance notice before official gameplaybwas starting, I THOUGHT this was just ro and socializing, goodnight

Yes. He took a look at the beach. And then left the beach and everyone else. Then while everyone else was still at the beach a minute later, it came into field of view, explicitly stated as first being seen at the 300 foot end range of field of view. Brie probably could have seen it after that, but did not roll.

Alright, who is here?

The scene is on the rocky beach 30 feet wide in front of the cliff. An intruder was noticed trotting along the beach approaching from the left.

We have a pony approaching and physically crashing into Silver

It seems that Silver has resisted the charge and has presumably knocked the intruder down prone
Posey has attacked (or declared an attack) with her Halberd
And Garv is trying to grapple it... with not great odds

Silver can hardly believe he managed to resist the pony's charge, he feels likely stronger than even he is. Pushing back with all his might, he throws the mystery pony to the ground and steps on him, using his body weight to keep him from moving. "Cyrillic, friend, do you speak it? Or are you just babbling madly to yourself?"

>>179737

Silver looks over at Posey and Dust, and speaks Ponish to them. "Can either of you tell if he is communicating with some other entity using magic? Or is he just speaking nonsense to himself? He has mentioned 'commissar' more than once."

If Brie's intent is to hide, his best bet is probably the top of the sea stack. The sea stack is basically a giant column of rock that protrudes outwards from the ocean just a few feet beyond the beach. It's located to the left of the party and actually closer to where the intruder is coming from. Brie could sit atop it. He could also just hide on top of the cliff, but because it angles upwards, he could be visible. He could also just hide behind Silver, Mala, Posey, or whomever

Pic related isn't quite what the beach looks like, but it's far from completely inaccurate either.

I'm guessing that's a +5 strength bonus on double handed. Your character sheet says 17 strength. And unless she's applying a spell of some kind (which is not stated) I can't fathom why it would be doubled

Did Posey magically trade places with Silver Sword?

It depends on whether she's within 10 feet of Silver and stallion in front of him. She declared her action, and although I disagree with it she does get the hit if within range. Ultimately up to you.

This is why maps are important

Okay, I don't really care if I hit or not. If Posey wasn't in the right position, just ignore the attack. If not, I'll just join the grapple next round.

Pretty obvious that this mob is gonna get mobbed. Also pretty obvious that players who tried to declare actions were not taken in correct context. Something to consider.

Posey’s attack hits and does 12 points of damage, which does not down it.

It’s a 30 foot wide beach that extends indefinitely in front and behind. Does that need a map? Is it going to be updated every single turn by every player?

>>179789
Do you have an action to declare?

Spot check. Theres a maybe hostile, he's 100' in the air, what else is there to do? I had a 19, lets hope for better,....

[1d20+8 = (8+8) = 16]
Anything. Random tanker trucks, ponies maneuvering, Dave Chapelle doing an impromptu standup. I wanna know what is visible per this check

The earth pony was unresponsive to its surroundings earlier. Does it respond to Posey's strike?

A “Commissar” is a political officer, especially in Communist countries, that is attached to a unit to ensure proper morale and ideological conformity.

He would definitely see the lone pony. Nothing else has moved within visible range.

>>179799
Yes. It helps in pain.

Does he stop moving/attacking?
Idk what the initiative order is, but I would like to make an intimidate check on my next turn.

"Let's try to take him alive," he squawks at Posey.

Kira lets out a sharp gasp and covers her mouth with her hooves, the first time she's reacted in this encounter as she looks out in horror at the pony being attacked. Silver holds out a hoof to Posey to try to halt her from any further attacks on this mystery creature as he's splattered with the creature's lifeblood.
