Shalelu WE check: (1d20+3)[17], -4 vs wild animal with INT 1 for 13, +2 for Rico's AA for total 15
vs Unfriendly Turtle - failed, failure by more than 5 turns Turtle Hostile


Shalelu makes a wry face, glaring at the turtle through squinted eyes even as she pricks up her ears at the unexpected presence of Naya's voice. "You're all far more optimistic than I am. But very well. Sister Brin, if that turtle as much as puts a claw out of line, give it a nice dose of arrow through the skull. Red, whatever you do now, don't let it eat you."

Pacing cautiously along the river bank to where Rico stands, mud sucking at the soles of her boots, Shalelu frowns and narrows her eyes as Rico slices open her lip and spits. "A bold move. Best hope that it won't link you with the smell of prey then." She mutters ruefully, thrusting out her chin as she keeps her gaze trained on the lumbering reptile, both hands raised and open, ready to catch its attention at a moment's notice.

The giant turtle was not having a very good day.

It was tired. It was hurting. It had swum far - oh so very far. For days and days. The shallow mud had seemed like a good spot to rest. To let the sun warm its aching body. To keep far away from two-legs and their pricking sticks.

The two-legs had come anyway. With noise. With fire. So it'd gone after the closest one. The fat one in the air.

But the fat one was gone now. It was still tired. Still hurting. And now, as the faint scent of blood hitting its scaly nostrils reminds it, the instinct coursing sharp as lightning tearing midnight clouds asunder - it was hungry.

Attack: (1d20+16)[33], Damage: (4d6+16)[27]


"Tar osaer, Kaer Oli os si Volaes! Shi tael bai cas..." Shalelu's soothing patter trails off uncertainly as she watches the turtle turn and paddle determinedly towards them, weed-slimed maw already agape and trembling. Wasting no time, the elf sputters a string of shocking curses in Elven and promptly scrambles back, one hand already grasping for an arrow in her quiver as she barks frantically over her shoulder at those of you further up the bank "Setsuna! It's not working! Back us up! Rico? RICO. You need to move. Now!"

Whether from martial stubbornness or the dregs of her nap, Rico doesn't budge from her spot even as the turtle bears inexorably down, snapping like a demon at Rico's shield and shoulders even as it tries to crush her against the river bank with a flailing swat of its heavy front claw.

Combat begins. Rico needs to roll AoO against the GST.
