(PF) maggie's Rise of the Runelords: Hook Mountain Massacre IC

GM post

Rico attacks in what the GM will consider a surprise round.

The cluster of worgs yelp in sudden panic as the caustic liquid within Rico's homemade pottery bomb splashes over their stinking pelts. Whining piteously, they swipe at their faces, rubbing their muzzles along the ground in an attempt to soothe the stinging with the clamminess of moist earth. As for the ogrekin himself, however, a quick upward jerk of his fist had swung the limp body of the firepelt between him and Rico, causing the amphorae to shatter on its bloodied hide rather than on his chest. His makeshift animal shield suffices to shield him from the worst of the explosion, even as raw scarlet welts instantly bubble up on his bloated belly and thighs from where the acid had splashed and dripped.

"Yous oughta had run, orc-meat! Now I catches yous and the man-baits all fer mammy! She cooks yous all inna pie, see if she don't!" With a bestial roar, the ogrekin flings the now-smoking corpse of the firepelt against the nearest tree. With a maddened glow in his eyes, he clutches his spear and glowers at Rico, jabbing his spear towards her forehead.

"Ey, pup-pups! Rippout that one's throat fust!"

GM note: Trees and shrubbery are not obstacles to ranged attacks except where there is a tree trunk (look for where the branches converge on a point). Movement through a square that is 50-100% occupied by trees or shrubbery will reduce movement speed by half.
