>>192793nodsOutside of the building Cavaliere is in. It's definitely not in the building Cavaliere is currently in.
>>192793I roll Survival to see if I can sniff it out (it should be feasible without the feat if the DC is 15 or lower).
I can't take 10 because my wisdom isn't high enough.
[1d20+1 = (9+1) = 10] >>192795Posey does not detect anything nearby of significance.
>>192794>>192795>>192796riggedWe might have to manually search every building, starting with the one Cavaliere is in (not that there is much to search).
>>192796>>192797How many buildings are there left to search?
Could the Rangers just run past the doors and take 10 on perception? Kira should auto-detect creatures within 30 ft. Idk.
>>192798Either do something, or something is going to happen. Act or be acted upon.
>>192799I have a readied action to attack whatever comes close to the herd. I'm waiting for the Rangers to find the airpony.
>>192799Okay, Silver is with the rest of the group of refugees and survivors. How's the group doing?
>>192798Cavaliere does just this. He calls into every doorway,
"We are your only hope, Lieutenant. Hostiles are coming and we need to go." >>192802"I thought you were searching for that airpony?"
fuck the airpony
While the party is pussyfooting about over whether they will or will not go outside to look for an airpony that is not in the village, the enemy is not doing nothing.
Outside of the house that Kira, Cavaliere, and maybe or maybe not Posey are located in, they can see several of the "legs" of one of the things. Well, presumably one of them. The odd number of legs does not give much certainly.
choc choc choc
It is either waiting for them to come out to it, or determining how to get to them. It may be unaware of their presence, but that seems unlikely
>>192801Uneasy, unsettled, but sufficiently quiet such that they could *probably* avoid being killed
Or is Cavaliere already outside?
>>192807>>192808Uh, no. He is good at hiding.
>>192802>>192806Kira looks out towards the advancing enemies, then back to Garv. "Should we run and try to link back up with the others? I'm not sure about our odds of fighting them off...or distracting them. And hiding seems like it would just delay them finding us..."
>>192807So the rest of the group can see the approaching enemies?
I want you to acknowledge the existence of the enemies. Fight them. Hide from them. Sneak past them. Sneak around them. Distract them. Just so long as you acknowledge them.
Shut up about the fucking airpony. The airpony is the next encounter after this one. There is, however, a present encounter that must be addressed before moving on to the airpony. I haven't had it attack yet or a role for initiative - which is what I intended to do and really should have done - because maybe you wanted to hide, or sneak past, or something besides fighting.
Even in a game where you can skip something, you have to press a button, and make an effort to skip it. Jesus Christ
You're not going to find the airpony, who - spoiler alert, is not in the village - until you do something with the present encounter. It's not going to fucking happen. Stop. Shut up about it. Stop talking about it. Deal with the horrifically obvious present problem at hand first.
>>192810"Let's make a break for it and get out of here. If we fight, the GRU will know we're here and target this area with force.">>192811>>192812So much for the psychosomatic strategy.
>>192813Kira nods, and makes ready at the door. On the count of three, she swings it open and
bolts outside, slithering for all of her life towards where they left the rest of the group.
>>192810If they looked outside, maybe, though the view from the east side (where I assume Silver is) is not going to be as good as the west side
So are Cavaliere and Kira going to try to run past to get to the main group?
>>192817A roll (luck, if nothing else) if you're looking to avoid the creature getting an attack of opportunity
>>192806>not in the villageOh....
Well then.
Okay, I will take the initiative.
Am I within charging distance of the monster?
>>192820It's a bit close for that, and she could only reach the legs
>>192820The thing stabs at Kira as she attempts to slither past it
[1d20+6 = (14+6) = 20][1d6+2 = (4+2) = 6] >>192818I would assume a reflex save, and Cavaliere has a +6 on that.
[1d20 = 15] >>192822Cavaliere is able to dart past the entity. Kira, however...
>>192821[1d20+6 = (14+6) = 20] >>192821Kira lets out a hiss of pain as the Abomination pierces her snake tail with its...actually she doesn't quite know what part of the thing it used to stab her, only that it hurt.
>>192821Close enough for me.
Posey charges into the creature, drawing her sword and charging it with Ki as part of her movement. This invokes her Dreadful wrath, so the creature will have to save vs her Frightful Presence (Will 22). She slashes with her longsword into the creatures limb.
"Your opponent is me!" she snarls as she slashes with her blade flaring with destructive energies.
[1d20+9 = (6+9) = 15] (hopefully vs flat footed AC)
Iajutsu Focus (ignore if not flat footed)
[1d20+6 = (19+6) = 25]The bones on her armor rattle, and she makes a check to Demoralize (note that she's likely taking a penalty due to size disparity.
[1d20+15 = (10+15) = 25] >>192824It must have been the end of the leg, or perhaps a protrusion off of it.
"Hold it off! I will get the other creatures to safety," Cavaliere commands. He would like to help with fighting, but shooting would draw attention and in melee he would be at a disadvantage. He seeks to reach the entourage to help direct them.
>>192825>>192826>>192828Should Kira continue running away, or should she turn and help Posey?
>>192825The entity, however, seems to be aware of the presence of hostile forces, and moves to attempt to block. Posey's sword makes a "clank" sound against the round leg.
"
chic chic!"
It picks up its leg, and swipes it at Posey
[1d20+6 = (6+6) = 12][1d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]>>192828 Cavaliere makes it to the old Tavern, where Silver, Mala, Blackheel, and other creatures are holed up.
>>192829You're an archer. If it turns out I need help later, you can do that from 100-300 ft away.
>>192831Kira keeps slithering on right behind Garv's heel.
>>192828Silver looks over at Garv's hurried entrance and frowns in worry. "What is wrong?"
>>192829You're an archer. If it turns out I need help later, you can do that from 100-300 ft away.
>>192830He barges in and points in the direction of the enounter.
"Kirafiki and Rosy Ring are fighting a new type of monster roughly one hundred fifty meters away. Silver Sword, I take it you are skilled with melee? I ask because those two might need help, and we should avoid gunfire or the GRU will be on us in no time. Mala, Blackheel, we will need to get every creature out of this town before we're surrounded." >>192830Miss
"IS THIS ALL YOU CAN CONJURE, INTRUDER?!" Posey shrieks (clearly still angry from before)
Posey strikes back with her sword, and follows up with a channel touch as a secondary natural attack.
And a slam and bite while we're at it.
Sword

[1d20 = 1][1d8+2 = (4+2) = 6]Slam
[1d20 = 11][1d6+1 = (2+1) = 3]Bite
[1d20 = 7][1d4+1 = (2+1) = 3] >>192835Posey does indeed make contact with the leg with her sword, cutting into it.
She cannot, however, successfully touch it. Or headbutt it. Or even bite it. In fairness, it's dark outside, and it's the same color as the background.
chic chicPosey can hear and see that the second creature has taken interest, and is coming forward.
Meanwhile, the creature raises two of its legs and starts to slam at Posey with them
[1d20+4 = (8+4) = 12][1d6+2 = (2+2) = 4][1d20+4 = (19+4) = 23][1d6+2 = (5+2) = 7] >>192834>>192835>>192836Silver nods, and turns to Mala and Black Heel. "Get them to safety. We will find and rejoin you once we have dealt with this threat. Stay hidden, stay silent." Silver unsheathes his greatsword, and heads out into the night. Along the way, he passes by the screaming Kira as she's retreating, telling her a quick "Fight's this way, soldier!" She stops, and turns to look at the unicorn running towards the Abominations she's running away from, and in that moment feels ashamed that this pony is braver than she is. She turns her body around, and heads back towards Posey and the Abominations despite the fear that's got a hold of her.
>>192834Blackheel:
"To where?"
Mala raises his shotgun to the "ready" position
>>192837Silver and Kira see the wings of a "seraph" glimmer in the night somewhere in front of them. Green tracers fly past it
>>19283623 hits, Posey takes a blow with a sickening crack, before she reorients herself and spits up a was of black icor with a cocky smile before she throws her head back and cackles.
Is that slam attack considered to be a magic weapon?
The second creatures should roll against her Frightful presence, btw.
Sadomasochism triggers
Posey makes another full attack

[1d20+17 = (3+17) = 20] >>192839Messed up the charnel you h damage roll. It should be +3, not +8.
>>192839chic chicPosey has definitely pissed it off. Her sword doesn't severe the leg, but it may as well have, with how it barely hangs.
It reaches its beak down to stab into Posey
[1d20+4 = (12+4) = 16][2d6+2 = (7+2) = 9]Then it swipes at her with a leg
[1d20+4 = (8+4) = 12][1d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]And stabs at her with the ankle of another
[1d20+4 = (18+4) = 22][1d6+2 = (6+2) = 8]A second creature now sweeps in, and with a leg, swipes at Posey
[1d20+6 = (6+6) = 12][1d6+6 = (3+6) = 9] >>19284122 hits Posey and she is impaled. She moans before whinnying and returning to her full attack routine at the same creature she's been attacking so far, although she takes a 5 foot step to avoid being flanked if possible.

Roll Will SaveThe second creature, however, makes a full attack against Posey
Attempting to impale her with its beak
[1d20+4 = (8+4) = 12][2d6+2 = (6+2) = 8]Then it stabs at her with its sharpened "ankles"

[1d20+10 = (1+10) = 11][1d8+3 = (2+3) = 5] >>192844Kira's arrow goes... A bit
wide, missing by a considerable margin
