It would, if capable, take ten for 24.

Meat Shield
Hero Points: 2; Luck Points: 0; Condition: Fine

Meat Shield claws their way through the vegetation much as they were doing previously, but perhaps a little slower. They are aware that there are hostile forces out there somewhere, so are not losing themselves entirely in making a path, but keeping their eye open for hostiles too.

"Thank you," they say to Scout when they return with some supplies that are actually useful for healing. "If I might, o Shaper?"

They wipe their hands clean on the grass and if D'Tan allows attempts to treat their injuries...
OOC wrote: Meat Shield keeping their eye open for hostiles: 1d20+17 36

Meat Shield attempts to treat D'Tan's injuries: 1d20+1 6

And spending their last Luck point to try that again...

Meat Shield attempts to treat D'Tan's injuries, Take 2: 1d20+1 9; but the roll is 10 or less, so adding 10 for a total of 19.

Craze
HP: 0
CND: Fine


Craze was torn. He wanted to protect the Shaper, it was part of his creation dna after all. There was also that bit which earned him his name sake Craze. Exploring, finding more shiny treasures, and generally playing little jokes were in competition perhaps as an error in creation. Maybe it was a virtue for the purpose he was meant to serve. In Crazes mind, he didn't think too much about the deeper philosophical implications of his dueling nature. To him, it just was.

When given permission to go ahead, he stopped shaking and his wings had a bit more pep in them. Not too much though to stay closer. Keeping his eyes peeled for Scout plus ahead of the group, Craze made sure to turn around every so often to keep an eye on the Shaper and Meat Shield. Upon finding Scout, Craze resisted the urge to press ahead.

"Are we going to go to the buildings and get the rogues yet...Shaper D'Tan.", asked Craze eagerly. His body was shaking with excitement. Not just for the new things, but also for what treasures might be there.

OOC: Apologies, I forgot that I was asked to roll stealth instead of taking ten. I make a poor example of a Mind irl indeed...

Pounce!
HP: 2; LP: 0; Condition: Bruised -1 (?)

Pounce continued to follow the trail, such as it was. Once the trail split, she paused briefly, pushing a thought back to the Mind. "They have split up- one still headed to the buildings, the other two moving off to the sides. Warn the others, in case they are circling back. I'm going to stay on the leader..." For just a moment, she focused on a sense that had know name, and felt the Shaper's comforting presence- he was there, she could tell, with the same surety that she knew where her own paws were.

And then, without a sound, she pushed further into the brush, headed for the buildings.

>OOC: Let me know if I need any additional rolls. How much time has passed while we are in pursuit? (Specifically, let me know when we hit 1 minute (10 rounds), when her regeneration will clear that bruised level)

Scout
HP: 1, LP: 2, Condition: Fine

Scout was excited when he finally ran into Craze. He was also excited to explore the building. But they had to help Shaper D'Tan first.

"Craze. Please help me gather some things to help treat Shaper D'Tan. We should get Meat Shield to help as well. He can carry more than both of us combined. I will show you both with plants and such will help."

Imp is a one foot tall Creation. While he was able to gather some samples, it wasn't much for Meat Shield to work with. As Imp request, they needed help gathering more. When Craze asks about investigating the buildings, the Shaper's response is brief.

"Be patient."

After the medicinal plants have been gathered D'Tan takes his jacket and shirt off, allowing Meat Shield to apply the mashed berries, sap, and leaf bandaging. It is about the time that the one eyed medic has finished and D'Tan is putting his clothes back on that they receive word from the Mind that one of the Fyora that they and Pounce were tracking had broken away and headed in their direction.

While Meat Shield was alert, their line of sight was limited. Their field of vision constrained by the dense thorn brush that grew up everywhere and they had spend all day hacking their way through. For now there was no sight of any threats. Once his shirt was buttoned up he finally gave Craze the permission he'd been looking for ...

"Pounce and Mind are heading towards the buildings. Let's press on and try to meet up with them."


Pounce focused on Shaper D'Tan. He had stayed the course from earlier. Coming in from the East he had been moving West, towards the buildings that Pounce was intent on moving on in her pursuit of the Rogue Fyora.

It isn't long before Pounce and the Mind find that the dense brush thins out and the overhead canopy of tree vanished altogether. A few meters ahead lies what Imp had reported: buildings. There are six in the immediate areas. Five small single story affairs. The walls hold, but vegetation ground up around them. The sixth is almost three times the others in length. In the distance, further Noth there is a two story structure with walls of compacted vegetation sprouting off of it's fall side. The walls of plant matter stretch a hundred feet high and extend outwards into the edges of the forest, going East and West.

Pounce and the mind don't have time to take this in. Not in detail at least. For soon they are blasted by flaming orbs from behind. Following the attack two Fyora spring from the brush, hissing menacingly.

OOC wrote:About half an hour will have passed. More than enough time for Pounce's Regeneration to kick in.

The time for D'Tan's wounds to recover will be reduced by one rank. Meaning, by the end of the day, with regular treatment from Meat Shield throughout the day, the -2 Damage Resistance will be gone.


Pounce and Mind are caught by surprise as two Fyora attack them from behind. Both hit. Make DC 19 Toughness checks.

Pounce!
HP: 2; LP: 0; condition: normal

Even before the fyoras revealed themselves, Pounce! sensed that something was wrong, though it was the sudden hiss of flame that told her WHAT was wrong... She was rolling, twisting, before she even realized that she was doing it- the ball of flame managed to singe the tip of her tail but that was all.

In a blink of an eye, she was facing the fire-breathing critters, hissing defiance against their aggression...


>OOC:
-toughness dc 19; 1d20+6= 26, roll https://orokos.com/roll/949112 (even though she is surprised, she still has full defenses via Uncanny Dodge, which she seems to have taken full advantage of)
-Initiative 1d20+12= 26, roll https://orokos.com/roll/949113 (figure we'll need it sooner or later)

Craze
HP: 0
CND: Fine


Patience wasn't one of Crazes virtues. Since D'Tan asked for it though, he would obey. When given the word to go ahead, Craze started flying through the dense trees towards what he viewed as a new place for treasure. Maybe some rock sweets even. All the while, he kept his eyes peeled for any threats. After the last ambush, he wasn't taking any chances.

One of the hostile Creation, which was perched up on the branch of a tree in order to launch it's attack at the Mind, began to convulse. It the midst of it's uncontrolled bodily movements it looses it's balances and falls to the forest floor. Landing at an odd angle it's head hits the ground, neck twisting with a snap.
OOC wrote:Mind kills the Rogue Fyora.

Initiative order is: Pounce, the remaining Rogue Fyora, then the Mind.

Pounce is up.

Craze, flying ahead of the group, sees two orange balls of fire fly out of the brush. One sailing up out of the canopy and the other moving horizontal. A short while later a bipedal lizard sprints out of the tree line, making throat noises somewhere between hisses and clicks. It moves between the buildings, making this noise. A short while later another raptor would come from the building, joining it, and another as it moved to the next building. So on and so forth until nine Fyora joined the first. The reddish-brown scaled lizards moved amount, shifting their tails and bobbing their heads. Then, they all broke into a run, heading back the direction that the first had came from.

Pounce!
HP: 2; LP: 0; Condition : Normal

Once she had the fyora in sight, Pounce wasted little time. She crouched, then launched herself forward in a blur of speed.

Speed and claws!


>OOC:
-Charge the fyora that attacked her, attack with claw swipe
-Claw swipe (charge) 1d20+6= 20, roll https://orokos.com/roll/949167
-if that hits, DC19 Toughness to resist
-If that hits, and the fyora resists damage, Pounce! gets a free Trip check, 1d20+9= 23, roll https://orokos.com/roll/949168
(Because she has Improved Trip, the fyora must resist with Athletics, DC 23 or be knocked prone

Craze
HP: 0
CND: Fine


Craze wasn't sure if the link with everyone was still up, but he did his best to convey what he was seeing. Nine of the creatures just came out of the buildings heading back into the treeline. They are after something., conveys Craze to everyone. He was still young, but all this combat was already getting to be alot. If he lost D'Tan, would he become like these creatures? Did these creatures have a Shaper who just left them? If so, why? All questions Craze wasn't used to thinking on. Shiny objects and jokes were much easier.

Instead of pressing ahead, Craze made his way back to D'Tan and Meat Shield. This time, he spoke with words albeit softly without his usually bouncy and chaotic speech pattern. "Nine more of the fire spitting creatures came out of the buildings heading to some location by the treeline. Maybe they found someone or something to attack? We should help right?", says Craze. He was torn between checking out where the creatures were going and the previous instruction to stay with D'Tan.
Did it look like the creatures were heading towards the path D'Tan was taking?

Fast as greased lightning Pounce launched a leaping attack at her aggressor slashed her claws over it's throat. She free the scale part, flesh peal away, and warm blood pour over her fur covered fingers. There is a gurling noise from the Rogue Creation. It staggers back, mouth opening and closing. Then it falls weakly to the ground bleeding out.

Mind and Pounce do not have long to revel in your victory. When they turn to pursue the tracks once more they see more raptor-like Fyora running at them. Leaning forward, long tails swaying from side to side as they advance.
OOC wrote:Pounce kills the Rogue Fyora. Combat is over ... but may begin again depending on your actions.

As Mind has been using their Mental Lance, the telepathic communication has been offline. You will not have received Craze's message. However your skirmish ended quickly and the Fyora have not advanced far. When you look back to the buildings, you see nine Rogue Fyora running at you. They are about 500 feet away. But they're as fast as Pounce.

Craze pushed his thoughts out to the mental link created by Mind, but the Creation's psychic influence was not their. Only Craze's own thoughts. When he returns to the other's D'Tan slows to a stop and listens to the avian's repot. He is quiet for a time, thinking before finally responding. A

"You and Scout follow them. Mind's link has been cutting out. If you do not learn anything noteworthy after five minutes, return to us."

The young Shaper them looks to Scout and Meat Shield, though it wasn't as though Craze was excluded from his next comments. The look he gave them was more to indicate that his words weren't exclusive to the black feathered Creation.

"When Mind reconnects, inform them of the Rogues' movements."

OOC wrote:The Mind's telepathic communication has been inactive during the fight. Craze won't be able to send a message to anyone over distances until Mind reactivate it.

Craze's group is approaching the buildings from the East. The Rogue Fyora are headed South. Towards Mind and Pounce. Though I'm uncertain whether the Mind has been updating you with their location. You may not be aware of that. Doctor Malsyn will need to let us know.
