sorry about the action confusion there, I got a bit ahead of the order. either way, I do the same thing, so it's just a matter of whether or not the lizard gets dex to AC depending on whether or not he's still grappling.

[The Maverick]

"Aargh! Freakin' lizard!", Lee roars. Trying to shove the creature away from him, Lee draws his dagger and swipes at it.

Han looks up and says I'm gonna go with hit them until they stop moving. Never failed me before.

When all you have is a hammer...The leader pulls out a warhammer, and smashes the last of the lizards on his bridge.Everything starts looking like a nail.

Through your combined efforts, the lizard-weasels are slain.

You get across the canyon and rest for the day, hiding in a small ditch with many bushes.

We bought us some time with the canyon shortcut, we are a day ahead of him. We can either ambush him along the road, or go to the town, however because of his mounts speed, we will be exhausted, this is the part of the journey we will abandon the ostrich-horses, we cannot afford to be tracked. If we ambush them at the town, we will have allies, however we will be exhausted. What do you all think?

[Pirate_King]

Han

I say we catch him here. I doubt we're the only ones with allies in town, and we can catch him by surprise here.

[The Maverick]

Lee nods, "Sounds like a good idea to me. There's no way he could have picked up more than a few guards on the road, and I doubt he'd be expecting us to attack him so soon."

[Darkbane]

Yun

"We should ambush him on the road. There's less chance of harming civilians that way."

[Colt]

Gin nods in assent to what the others have said, and then waits patiently for the others to collect themselves.

[jagadaishio]

Okku

"It seems that we're all agreed on where we should perform the ambush. It's probably safest this way, and there's always the possibility that he might be subdued without killing him, however slim," says Okku, shrugging and displaying a look of misplaced hope on his face.

[Shades of Gray]

A hawk flies in.

What?! No! They captured some of our men.

He contemplates for a second.

Han, Lee, Okku, Gin, Yun, Lin, Rin! Stay here for the Ambush. Everyone else, you're with me.

Send the hawk with your results.

He rears the ostrich horses and heads off into the woods.

((Now is the time to make preparations))

[Pirate_King]

Han surveys the area, analyzing how to make the best use of his terrain as possible. Earthbenders, I suggest you get ready to make some pitfalls and walls. Those mongoose dragons are fast, but if the ground shifts wildly enough, we might at least be able to shake Jenshin off. Yun, can you help with the dismount? And Okku, if you can have water ready to freeze him if he avoids Gin, Rin, and Lin. Lee, you're my other eye. We'll keep watch for him, and cover him with arrows and fireblasts while the earthbenders give him a bumpy ride.

Spoiler

so...what does this path thingy look like? what sort of terrain do we have to work with?

[jagadaishio]

OOC:

Spoiler

Show

I was thinking that we could make one or more big stone boxes filled with water which could be used to flood the area and freeze him in the water. Preparations really depend on how much time we're looking at here.

[Shades of Gray]

(( you have 1.5 hours game time ))

The path is 20ft. wide, there are thick bushes to the left, and the canyon to the right (however it is pretty far off), after 10ft. of thick brush, there are climbable trees 15ft. high. The road is made of various stones, but mostly dirt. You can hear rushing water coming from the forest, you don't know how far off it is.

[Darkbane]

Could I get some healing? I'm currently down to 3 HP.

[Colt]

"Well, this is a fine little ordeal." Says Gin, walking down into the roadway. "Rin, Lin, best not be standing around. Let's start walling off the road some." Gin then begins to start throwing up walls in a sort of maze shape, motioning the two Earthbenders to help him.

Spoiler

Show

Gin will begin to create a maze-ish shape out of earth walls. Taking 10 on the save to create 6-inch thick walls.

[jagadaishio]

Can I take 20 on a waterbending check?

[Shades of Gray]

@Jagadaisho
OOC: Yes, however it would take two minutes for a standard bending check,

[jagadaishio]

Spoiler

Show

Who all is at less than full HP? By taking 20 on a healing waters waterbending check, I can get a result of 44, which means everyone who needs the healing will be taken aside for four minutes (because of the additional focus time for the extra 1d6) and get healed 5d6+1 HP.

[Darkbane]

Healing - (5d6+1)[20]
Good, back to full HP. Thanks.

Yun

Yun stretches his arms, working out the residual ache in his muscles. "Thanks, I needed that."

[Pirate_King]

Spoiler

Show

I think I'm only down by 6 hp any way... how many times can you use that? I thought that seed had limited uses, or it got more difficult at some point.

Hmm... Won't our friend be a bit suspicious if he encounters a maze like this? Someone should be ready in case he tries to run over the top.

[jagadaishio]

Spoiler

Show

Each time I use it beyond a number of times equal to half my level, the DC increase by 4. The description of the seed itself doesn't say how long that increase lasts. I took it to mean per encounter. If I'm wrong, please correct me, I don't want it to seem like I'm abusing rules or anything.

[Shades of Gray]

Given the time you have, we assume you heal everyone to full.

Rin digs many small holes in the the top of the walls, and places small slivers of rock in them. Rin Says There's the backup plan.

Lin creates a large rock scimitar, as well as armor, you can tell he's the type to take the battle to the front.

[The Maverick]

As everyone goes about their preparations, Lee climbs to the top of the tree nearest to the road and keeps watch.

Spoiler

Show

I'm gonna take 20 on the climb check since we have plenty of time. I'd like to roll a spot check to see what I can see at the top of the tree. (Oh crap that rhymed, Shades is infecting me!)

Spot Check: (1d20+5)[22]

[jagadaishio]

Okku

Okku spends the time he has left after healing everyone to take as much water as he can from the stream and use it to bore long, deep holes in the ground, which he fills with water. If anyone asks what he's doing, he gives the simple explanation of, "Water reservoirs."

[Pirate_King]

Good thinking, Lin Han takes to a tree on the opposite side of the road from Lee to see where their opponent might be.

readying my bow, spot check (1d20+3)[19]

[Shades of Gray]

(( I assume Lee and Han are done their preparations, Gin is, and I believe Okku is done as well. Do you want to do anything Yun or should We continue?))

[Darkbane]

((I don't have any long preparations, but once they get near I can make giant dust clouds in the maze. Taking ten gives me a result of 26, meaning I can make clouds 50 ft. in diameter.))

[Shades of Gray]

((sorry about the lack of update, this was a busy few days))

The moment of truth has come, you hear the heavy thumping of a mongoose-dragons feet. Jenshin is about to arrive. You all take your hiding spots, waiting for the trap. You can see Jenshin riding in on his mongoose-dragoon, holding his familiar scythe.

He approaches the small maze you have created, and the creature leaps over it, Rin's spikes shoot upward, and you can hear a low sounding groan, however Jenshin has melted many of the spikes with fire. You all shoot your blasts (and Han fires his bow), only Han's bow and Gin's blast connect. He jumps off the beast in mid-air, landing near Okku and Lee.

You think I wouldn't notice this in the middle of the road? Do you take me for a fool?

((I assume that Gin and Lee shot a blast off at him, Yun fired dust, Okku is readying water, and Han shot his bow))

He takes a wide sweep with his scythe, and fire sweeps around in a wide arc. Lee ducks under the blow, however Okku is hit.

Round Summary
Okku was hit, and took 6 fire damage.
Jenshin got hit, and his mount did as well.

Initiative:
Mongoose-Dragon
Han
Jenshin
Lee
Okku

The Mongoose dragon bites Gin for 4 damage in the shoulder.

Han, it's your turn ((Yes I did make Jenshin more powerful considering there are 5 of you against him instead of one))

[Pirate_King]

You will see no mercy from me this time.
