[Has anyone seen Axxle on any of the boards recently?]

[He's been on, but hasn't posted in a while]

[Hmmm. We may need to find a replacement at least temporarily, then. Any lurkers interested? If you're interested in joining but not with that character, let me know anyway; I can work with the story.

It looks like I'm also waiting on Endurance and Nature/Perception checks from Beleren.]

Actually, for group rolls like that, it may be faster if the GM does it. That way, there's no waiting or misunderstanding.

Although, I guess we'd have to let WinterSpartan know that we are cool with that.

So, I say that I give WinterSpartan permission to roll my skills for me in the interest of saving time. If there is a decision to be made regarding something that can modify the roll, then I may want to roll it myself or at least announce the decision I'm making.

Sorry, missed that, you could have rolled for me.

Endurance:

[Apologies, all. You're right, I could've rolled for you; I was hoping for Axxle's return or for someone to volunteer for that spot. For now I'll just make the rolls to keep things moving.]

Endurance:

Rolled 1d20+10 : 18 + 10, total 28

Nature:

The party presses on, trying to find the ruined castle where the hobgoblins lair. Veonis struggles a bit with the journey; he is not used to marching all day with very little pause. Derath serves as main tracker while Hroksull's knowledge of the wilds leads them safely through the rugged terrain. Unfortunately, none of the others prove much help on the journey.

Because of this, in the late afternoon, as Derath and Hroksull confer briefly at a rocky patch of ground where the trail is hard to see, nobody is keeping an eye out for other dangers. Veonis is taking a drink of water and trying to refresh himself; Beleren and Merik are simply ready for the journey to be over. They are all thus quite startled when...

Rolled 1d100 : 14, total 14

(Random encounter table, hooray! This was triggered by 3/5 failures on the Nature/Perception checks. Veonis will be docked a healing surge for failing the Endurance check.)

...3 panthers spring snarling from the trees. They seem hungry, and have sensed distracted "prey".

Please let me know where on the map you'd like to initially be positioned - somewhere between E4 and L10.

(Panther stats, for posterity:

Panther
AC 18, Fort 16, Reflex 18, Will 15)

H8 it is for me.

I'm such a H8r.

shraeye · « **Reply #338 on:** July 24, 2013, 08:29:45 am »

H9, I was right next to Hroksull per flavor text.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #339 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:21:12 pm »

And I'll put Merik in the same general area, since it seems you're all there.

Column:

Row:

Rolled 1d4 : 3, total 3

Also, Jorbles has expressed a willingness to fill in for Axxle, so he should be taking that over soon. Thank you, Jorbles!

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #340 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:21:49 pm »

Bother, of course that's right on top of Hroksull. What direction should I shift him?

Rolled 1d8 : 4, total 4

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #341 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:26:33 pm »

I9 it is.

The panthers swiftly charge the party and pounce, leaping at the throats of Veonis and Beleren!

G5 panther:

Rolled 1d20+10 : 12 + 10, total 22

Rolled 2d6+4 : 1, 5 + 4, total 10

F6 panther:

Rolled 1d20+10 : 3 + 10, total 13

Rolled 2d6+4 : 1, 5 + 4, total 10

F8 panther:

Rolled 1d20+10 : 17 + 10, total 27

Rolled 2d6+4 : 5, 6 + 4, total 15

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #342 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:31:25 pm »

Both of them are carried to the ground by the force of the attack, though Veonis manages to roll out of the way of the second pounce. Beleren is badly wounded.

(You two, note that you are prone. While prone, you grant combat advantage to melee attackers and have -2 to your own attacks. You can stand back up as a move action; this doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.)

[Can I crawl? I'll wait for Veonis to act before me, anyway]

Gveoniz · « **Reply #344 on:** July 25, 2013, 05:52:19 am »

[Do Bel need shifting by majestic word?]

[You can crawl, moving up to half your speed - so 3 squares.]

Hroksull glanced worriedly at the panthers. They were formidable, and the group needed time to recover from the ambush. Hroksull hoped to buy that time momentarily.

Minor Action: Stone's Endurance to Resist All 5.
Standard Action: Evasive Strike to E6 before the attack to gain Combat Advantage.
Move Action: Hunter's Quarry on F6 panther.

Battleaxe Attack 1d20+8 : 16 + 8, total 24
Damage 2d10+5 : 9, 10 + 5, total 24
Quarry 1d6 : 6, total 6

Ooh, well, that was nice.

[Bel needs a healing surge]

Kuildeous · « **Reply #349 on:** July 25, 2013, 09:39:44 am »

Hroksull glanced sideways at the panther menacing Beleren. He nodded at Beleren to indicate that it should be safe to move. This tactic was contrary to his training. The elders taught that a hunter moves and strikes quickly. Only corpses lingered in the same spot during a fight. Still, seeing his newfound friends downed, he felt a need to stand his ground. Hroksull spent many years playing in the nearby obsidian field and came out with mere scratches. How much worse could a panther be?
