>>192838Which direction is the hill that the rifleponies are descending? East? We won't go that direction.
>>192843Posey turns to the next creature with foam at the edge of her mouth and hacks into it furiously like a rabid wolf
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!!!"

See
>>181602 →>>192847Posey can tell the thing was definitely trying to fuck with her mind, feeling momentarily dizzy
>>192848West, the opposite direction of the water and the
Kostroma. The party's direction of travel has been north, and the party came from the south
>>192849chic chichThe original creature, though running low on legs and clearly not far from destruction, has a couple more to spare.
It swipes at Posey
[1d20+4 = (17+4) = 21][1d6+2 = (5+2) = 7][1d20+4 = (16+4) = 20]And it pecks at Posey
[1d20+4 = (14+4) = 18][2d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]Posey stabs into the creature's lower barrel. No blood comes out, probably only because it has none to bleed.
It stabs at Posey
[1d20+4 = (5+4) = 9][1d6+2 = (2+2) = 4][1d20+4 = (11+4) = 15][1d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]And pecks at her as well

"Will you be coming with us? And should we go... on the street?"
>>192854Between Posey and the GRU, the monsters at least seem to be occupied. But the possibility of another appearing is higher than zero.
Mala:
"Should I... stay in the rearguard, or scout ahead?"
>>192850Drawing two more arrows, Kira nocks and looses them at the second creature's bird-like face.
[1d20+10 = (1+10) = 11][1d8+3 = (3+3) = 6][1d20+5 = (7+5) = 12][1d8+3 = (1+3) = 4]Silver's now in range as well, and he charges the creature that's been brought to the ground with his greatsword.
[1d20+14 = (12+14) = 26][2d6+8 = (10+8) = 18] >>192850I was referring to the 2, not the 5. We're on the same page.
This is all piercing damage, right?
Posey is starting to look fucked up. She looks like a cube of Swiss cheese. Were it not for the defensive magic infused into her bones, she would be long destroyed. Her legs rattle beneath her, sinews hanging by a thread. Her emergency fast healing activates, bringing her up to 10 HP as her wounds slowly close, but she's still looking like Swiss cheese.
"...B-B-BUCK...!" she gags, as she finally sees the limit to her strength.
Posey takes a withdraw action, now fighting defensively.
She skitters 60 ft away from the monster, provoking no attacks of opportunity.
>>192856One arrow simply slides off and fails to launch. The second seems to barely miss, with how now sound is heard, but it may have glanced against the side of its barrel
>>192856Silver charges at the first creature, and slices its barrel right in two. In some ways, it's like cutting into bread. The entity disintegrates in front of Silver, turning into a black ash that evaporates in the span of only a few seconds. The creature's long beak opens slightly, though it's too dark to look inside. It seems like it will make a dying gasp, but it makes no sound at all as it fades away.
The second creature, however, pecks at Silver
[1d20+4 = (8+4) = 12][2d6+2 = (7+2) = 9]And stabs at him
[1d20+4 = (18+4) = 22][1d6+2 = (1+2) = 3][1d20+4 = (10+4) = 14][1d6+2 = (6+2) = 8]>>192857Swipes are blunt, any kind of stab or peck is piercing
Withdrawing is rather easy, with Silver coming in to finish off the one and draw the attention of the other.
Behind Posey, Cavaliere is organizing a withdraw of the caravan of creatures
>>192858In the round that the creature isn't focused on her, Posey puts a hoof to her chest and attempts to heal herself with her Charnel Touch.
>>192860Cavaliere is able to essentially backtrack, going through the portions of the village that have already been searched. Though he walks away from the source of the light, it is still illuminated by that dim, green light.
Rounding the edge of the village, Cavaliere may want to head in the direction of the black sand beach
>>192859For what it's worth, nopony is looking at Posey, and she has relative quiet as she does so. "Relative," because she can still hear the high pitched "tinging" of a submachine gun in the background
"...After all these decades, still pincushion for the frontline cavalry..." Posey says to herself
She draws her sewing needle and begins stitching as she tries to accelerate her wound closure to an acceptable level.
Disguise check (secret roll; modifier is +10)
>>192861Cavaliere heads closer to the beach but avoids walking on it, trying to maintain stealth. While he looks for any enemies nearby, can he see any signs of a lone pony?
>>192858Power Attack: One of the stabs hits home, dealing only glancing damage to an unarmored part of him but still hurting. Gritting his teeth, he prepares a powerful swing to try to take this Abomination down, his sword carving a thick path through the air.
[1d20+6 = (9+6) = 15][2d6+20 = (7+20) = 27]Kira curses to herself, and picks up the arrow from the ground as well as drawing another one. "Come on, Kira, hit this thing!"
She looses them right at where the creature's eyes would be.
[1d20+10 = (16+10) = 26][1d8+3 = (6+3) = 9][1d20+5 = (2+5) = 7][1d8+3 = (2+3) = 5] >>192863He doesn't think he sees one, though he can't say for sure. Waves crash against the shore, and cavaliere can feel the smaller stones move under his claws.
There is more than one smaller rowboat on the shore, or in one case, on the surf, each a number of feet from the other. They are visible against the black sand and pebbles because of their faded, white paint over planks of wood.
>>192864Silver's attack has quite a bit of power. Maybe a bit
too much power. Silver's sword goes upwards, and while it makes contact with the creature's hide, it does so at an angle, until it glances and deflects off of the thick hide.
It, however, attacks back:
With a peck
[1d20+4 = (10+4) = 14][2d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]A swipe
[1d20+4 = (19+4) = 23][1d6+2 = (3+2) = 5]And a stab
[1d20+4 = (19+4) = 23][1d6+2 = (4+2) = 6]>>192864Kira shoots her arrow, and it lands squarely in the barrel of the aberration. It hisses. The hide around the wound becomes darker. Maybe it
can bleed. Between the arrow and Posey's earlier hits, it's clearly not far from oblivion.
>>192865Cavaliere gestures to the entourage to stay back, while he investigates the rowboats. Is there anything inside?
>>192866Three of them, the second one in the water. Maybe a fourth further north? Nothing in the first.
I've been forgetting to add the +2 bonus to Kira's damage rolls from Weapon Specialization...>>192865The peck is ineffective at piercing through his flak jacket, but the swipe and stab find purchase against his exposed body. He's definitely regretting putting so much power into that attack with the hurt the Abomination just put into him. Bringing his sword back around, he tries a couple of normal swings to just finish this thing off and remove it from this plane of existence.
[1d20+12 = (19+12) = 31][2d6+8 = (7+8) = 15][1d20+7 = (15+7) = 22][2d6+8 = (7+8) = 15]Kira draws two more arrows, just in case the wounded Silver can't find purchase against this thing's hide. She loosens them with lethal intent against the Abomination.
[1d20+10 = (5+10) = 15][1d8+5 = (1+5) = 6][1d20+5 = (8+5) = 13][1d8+5 = (2+5) = 7] >>192867Cavaliere takes 10 to tie a lasso and throw it at the the second rowboat in order to pull it to shore.
>>192869whachaCavaliere is able to pull it onto shore
>>192868Silver gets a firm hit against its barrel, then a second against its neck. He didn't need that much. The creature makes a silent "skree" as he slices into it, exposing a dark inside, and watching as it slowly evaporates before him.
Kira sees it evaporate before her arrows can land, though they would have hit at awkward angles judging from where they are seen to fly.
No monsters remain in the village, though judging from the sound of gunfire, some must be nearby
>>192871There is no creature inside, though some water has gotten in it. It has a survival kit that presumably has medical supplies, flares, and perhaps a blanket or two. Maybe food.
>>192868Isn't weapon Specialization a Fighter-only feat? Knowledge Devotion is better anyway.>>192865Posey takes a move action backwards, heals fires an arrow with her longbow, and touches herself to heal 2 HP.
Longbow
[1d20+6 = (20+6) = 26][1d8+3 = (3+3) = 6] >>192873Hey, my luck is beginning to turn.
Rolling to confirm threat
[1d20+7 = (17+7) = 24] >>192873>>192874>>192875Very good attacks. But all immediate dangers are already vanquished
>>192872He takes the survival kit, but doesn't waste time looking through it now. On to the third boat.
>>192873>touches herselfNow is not the time!
>>192876Oh.. Okay then.
Posey slinks off to heal herself.
>>192870Kira rushes over to collect what arrows she can, though she's lost a few more permanently. Silver takes an assessment of his wounds and does his best to patch them up.
[1d20+5 = (18+5) = 23]Can Kira tell that the rest of the party has gone to the shore?
>>192880She knows that they have moved, and moved the opposite direction of the threat
Silver is definitely wounded, stabbed in the shoulder and barrel repeatedly.
Kira gets a few of her arrows, and several more would be beyond the village, to the north
>>192881Silver does what he can to ensure that he at least doesn't bleed out, and he does the same for Kira. Kira gets what she can from the local area, since it's too dangerous to try to go for the others. She looks out to where the soldiers are coming from, and points in the opposite direction for both Silver and Posey. "I think the others would have gone that way, towards the water."
Silver nods in reply. "That does make sense. Come on, we need to get moving."
>>192877He sees it. Darting through the night by the surf, in green clothing, the shape of a pony.
Posey returns to the herd after closing her wounds.
"This has been a waste of time. We should leave immediately."
>>192883"Hooked In! We're here to rescue you!" Cavaliere calls out after him. He picks up his hat and waves at the pony, hoping to grab his attention.
>>192891Cavaliere sees the figure dart along the surf ahead of him. He's in the water, with waves passing by. He doesn't hear much splashing, but the waves drown out most sounds. The pony does not respond to Cavaliere. It's certainly an earth pony. A lighter coat color, but clothing that's a greenish color, likely taken off and tied around the waist. He looks rather small. Could almost be that Barley Corn, really. He's heading away from Cavaliere, and towards the third rowboat, which has been dislodged from the shore with the rising tide.
>>192892Cavaliere gets a running start, leaps, and flies just overhead to the rowboat.
"Stop and listen to me, airpony!" he calls out, practically into his ear.
>>192893The pony hops ahead, moving into the water. He heads for the boat. Though he has a head start, Cavaliere starts to catch up. The pony jumps and Cavaliere loses sight of him just at the rowboat. But the open top boat... seems to be empty?
>>192895Can she?
I think that Posey remained closer to the village, rather than going down to the shore. Cavaliere would also be a bit further north at the point
>>192896Then I guess I will just stay put.
>>192897Anything in particular for her to do at the moment?
>>192898She needs about a minute to restore herself to beauty, but otherwise no plans.
She returns to the group and asks what passed in the past few minutes.
>Anything in particularIf chasing ghosts is an option, she would gladly participate in that.
"What is going on? Where did Cavalier fly off to? Are we ready to gallop towards the shore?"
>>192894Cavaliere lands in the boat and investigates its interior. If indeed it is empty, he dives into the water beneath to look for the desperate pony.
>>192900Cavaliere looks inside to see... nothing. Several inches of seawater sloshing about in the bottom of the boat as it moves in the waves. Under a plank that constitutes a seat, a... Wait. That large protrusion, a more yellow color than the green seawater, white painted planks, and dark brown of exposed wood - that could just be a pony.
Cavaliere sees it, hiding underneath the plank, but too large to be completely covered by it, his lays on his side, is curled up in a ball, wears a green unform and khaki pants (Cavaliere could have sworn he saw a pony wearing clothing the other way around, but nevermind that). His eyes are closed, and his mouth is partly in the water. He can't drown in two inches of water, but four inches? He likely would. He is non-responsive.
>>192901Cavaliere heaves him over his shoulders and rushes through the surf to the shore as quickly as he can. His movement is much less graceful than his flight, not that he cares. Just beyond the waves, he shoves the pony onto the ground, mouth to the side, and presses on his chest to get water out, maybe stimulating breath as well. Then he checks for signs of life.
