Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
"this path doesn't seem to go anywhere, if they set off in a random direction to get out of town for a bit it seems odd that anyone should follow them. Ever, have you got a good feel for their tracks if we were to increase our pace? Perhaps we can stalk the stalkers and find out what they want with our friends! "
Ben tightens his backpack straps and hitches it a little to settle it on his back more comfortably ready to set off at a jog.GitP BloodBowl Manager Cup - Now Finished!

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
The crab keeps changing direction, taking a meandering route in your general direction. It doesn't seem to have noticed you in your hiding places or even to have noticed the horse standing out in the open.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Ever looks at Ben for a second. He hadn't thought about it, but as he examines the tracks, they're pretty clearly continuing in one direction. "Think so... aye, this way."
He continues in the same direction, but quickens his pace. He tries to keep an eye ahead as well, hoping to catch a glimpse of the makers of these tracks.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Ben matches pace with Ever as he chases along the path following the tracks. He looks back to check that Kevst is keeping pace before returning his attention to the path.
As they move further from town he keeps his eyes sharp for signs of his friends or their passing this way.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
The spear carrying halflings move towards the giant crab, taking a wide path round and moving very slowly, stopping frequently to hide.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Devka, upon seeing the horse, heads towards it. now who do we know that has a big horse, the giant, that's who
When he realizes that he can't see the giant or his funny little friend, Devka smells a metaphorical fish. He decides to take a more stealthy aproach to the situation and adopts a crouch before procceding.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Suddenly something seems to alert Old Claws, maybe the wind changed and it caught a scent of the horse, maybe one of its eye stalks just happened to note movement, whatever it was it starts to move at a shuffle directly towards the low sandy hill where the horse is standing. Devka just makes out the movement but it is obvious to everyone else.
Can I have initiative from Graorin, Athedru and Devka please.
Initiative Halflings (1d20+1)[15]
Initiative Old Claws (1d20+1)[5]
Graorin and Athedru are in the west of the map, the halflings are south and east, Devka is to the far east and Old Claws is to the west. Each hex on the map is 5 feet.

Initiative:
Spoiler(1d20+3)[12]
As soon as Graorin sees Old Claws start moving - not towards him, but towards Val - he starts moving as well, interposing himself between crab and horse. He will cast the spell as soon as the crab is in range, no longer waiting for a sign of overt hostility because there already is one.
Athedru doesn't get a response from him - he's focused entirely on his quarry.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Glad to see that Ever is following the tracks as they move, Ben thinks through the contents of his backpack trying to remember where he packed each item so that he can quickly find anything he may need. He has often found this a useful mental exercise to keep his mind clear of other thoughts and allow him to feel better prepared to face whatever the day may hold.
Keeping his eyes and ears peeled for signs of his friends, or the group following them, all the way.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
The moment Graorin stands up the giant crab's attention switches to him and it moves towards you jerkily. At the same time the halflings leap up from their hiding place and charge directly at Old Claws, waving their spears and splashing through the shallows noisly.
Rolls
SpoilerRoll maximum hit dice affected (2d4+1)[3] - Sorry!
Will save against Calm Animals (1d20+3)[8] DC14
The giant crab seems completely unaffected by your attempt to calm it, perhaps it is simply too hungry to care. The noises made by the halflings do distract it though and it swings its massive claws in their direction before circling to try to keep them and you in its sight. It is 30 feet from you when you release your spell, probably too far to get to you in the next round but still very close.
What are Devka and Athedru doing? Everyone else is unfortunately too far away even to hear the sounds of combat.Last edited by hoverfrog; 2012-10-19 at 06:32 AM.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Graorin widens his eyes as the spell seems to do absolutely nothing. He blinks a few times, frozen in place by indecision and surprise, then grabs Athedru by the shoulder. "Let's move," he says, and breaks into a run to the northeast, giving a whistle to signal Val to come as well.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Round 1 Summary
Old Claws starts by charging forward but skitters to a stop when it spots the halflings running towards it waving their spears. After a moments indecision it moves to keep both groups in sight. The halflings continue to move towards the crab's right while Graorin and Athedru move away to its left with Val obeying her master's summons. Across the shallows Devka is at a sprint racing forwards, weapons at the ready.
Round 2
Map
Spoiler
Initiative order
SpoilerAthedru [18]
Halflings [15]
Devka [13]
Graorin [12]
Old Claws [5]
As before just declare your actions and I'll sort out the order afterwards.
As Graorin and Athedru move away one of the spear men shouts across at you, "Hoy, where are you going? We came to help."
SpoilerIf the other players want to control the halflings so that you have some involvement in the first fight of the game then go ahead. They are level 1 warriors except they are armed with three spears each. I hope it's not giving away too much to tell you that they followed Graorin and Athedru thinking that they were hunting Old Claws. They hoped to join the battle and claim part of the glory.I didn't choose the life of a murderhobo, it chose me.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
What a misunderstanding, Graorin thinks to himself. Sorry, kids. He keeps running alongside Val (he respects him too much to ride him except in a true emergency), and rather selfishly leaves the halflings to fend for themselves. He came out here to be alone, not to hunt the local wildlife.

"But...but...what if they die because we leave?" Athedru called out to Graorin, turning desperately between the giant crab and his human friend.
Fumbling with his crossbow, he hesitates, but fires a bolt straight at the monster.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
"They've got no more business taking on something that big than we do!" Graorin calls out. "If they're not smart enough to realize it..." at which point he realizes Athedru is not, in fact, running after him. Oh hell, he thinks to himself and stops running. Just his luck, his best friend seems to have assigned himself the role of an external conscience.
(OOC: Graorin's wasted his whole turn running away and will probably need to run back next round. Also, nice natural 20!)

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Ever continues to lead Ben and Kevst in the direction of their companions. It feels good to be exercising his legs, after spending most of the last several days confined on boats. His spear isn't much use as a walking stick at their hustling speed, but he still holds it in front of him, almost like a divining rod, tracing over the tracks in the air.
Their trek reminds him of days spent hiking through the forests of the isles, and suddenly Ever is struck with a bit of longing for a more wooded environment. Trees are good, steady company. They stay simple and true, yet they often have more to tell a good woodsman than most city folk would ever imagine.

Some running around and a few shots fired to very little effect. A bolt sticks in its shell but the thrown dagger just skittered off and landed in the sand and water nearby.
Old Claws has taken 2 damage.

The halflings move a little more cautiously towards the giant crab waiting to get in to close range with their spears. Old Claws shifts its full attention to Devka, turning its back on the halflings and moving to attack.I didn't choose the life of a murderhobo, it chose me.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
"Idiots!" Graorin growls to himself as he draws to a stop. "Idiots, idiots, idiots." He looks over at Val and shrugs. "No choice, right, Val?"
The horse tilts his head, looking at Graorin inquisitively.
"Right then," Graorin says, drawing his spear, and charges the crab, though he probably won't get there this round.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Devka looks up at the giant crab and grimaces. he pulls out his great axe and enters a rage. He feels his boil, his vision turns red and his mind turns to thoughts of only violence. He plants his feet firmly, gets ready to strike against the crab as soon as it enters his range and lets out an ear-shattering roar.

The last halfling to reach the crab hurls his spear with uncanny precision, embedding it deep in a gap in its undershell. It checks its head long charge towards Devka, causing him to miss, and spins to face the spearmen.Last edited by hoverfrog; 2012-10-22 at 11:34 AM.

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
As they head further and further from town Ben. Erin's to hope that he hasn't just set them off following their friends on a little, circular, walk in the brush.
He has confidence in Ever's abilities to find their friends amongst all this, conscious that he himself is not really at home beyond the edge of the "civilised" world.
He keeps casting one eye over to Kevst to make sure that the kid isn't flagging too much and hasn't fallen over anything.GitP BloodBowl Manager Cup - Now Finished!

Re: Isles of the Small Folk IC
Kevst continues following the others further away from the town, all the while wondering why the heck their associates wandered off away from the group and why the heck Ben, Ever and Kevst were bothering to follow after them. They should be getting some hot food at the inn, not tramping around the wilderness.
Kevst was also wondering why Ben kept looking back at him. It was starting to creep him out.Want to test your mettle in the Irorium Arena? Always accepting new gladiators!
