PrP: Jungle Hunt
Jahnavi: An egalrin feathered in grays
Kilian: Tall female, chain shirt and longbow.
Talazia: Blonde Sylvanori with a bow.
The opportunity to travel to Am'shere and get paid for it doesn't come up every day, so when the job of accompanying a minor noble, Amaryllis of Deplingsdale, on a High Hunt into the jungle came up you took it for any of a number of reasons. Amaryllis herself seems somewhat scattered and flighty but she does appear to have both coin and friends among the Wards of the Invisible Path, the group that guards the portal to the Sith-makar lands. Misress Rekah, the dwarven merchant who guided you all through the portal sent you on your way saying that they had reports of wild boar to the east so maybe that would be a good place to try for a trophy for your employer. You could also just wander aimlessly of course, or use what hunting skills you have.
The opportunities are wide open, Amaryllis has left that sort of decision up to you, she says she's just along for the ride. From the look of her ruffled outfit and lack of weapons this is probably wise.
The heat is opressive as are the insects and humidity.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Your job: kill something impressive-looking, bring back a trophy for her."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "And please, Survival checks all round for the weather."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Between you you are all mostly comfortable. Amaryllis seems magically protected from the heat."
Kilian moves into the area, casually wiping the sweat from her brow. She glances about, then at the others in the party. She takes her bow into hand, a slight smirk upon her lips. "So.. we just kill anything we want?" This seems all too appealing to her.
Not really liking wandering about from the group, Talazia used what skills she had to see if she could find said boar for the rest of the group. the heat was oppressive, sure, but Talazia had seen worse. "We're looking for a trophy. Not just anything. I personally don't see the point of simply having a trophy."
Jahnavi starts as there's a noise overhead--but Am'shere is full of wildlife, and it's just the rustling of leaves and the passing-by of a random creature. Her wings are held just above her body, as though to make herself somewhat larger against the the outside threats. "I think so..."
Amaryllis speaks up. "Oh, but an impressive token of the hunt is simply required! It's all the rage back home to have beast heads on the wall, and I do so want to show up my uncle Lester. He says he's a great hunter but he's never been here."
Jahnavi looks back, and then forward again. No business of hers what the employer thinks.
Kilian looks at Talazia quirking a brow at her last comment. She stops and pulls a flask from her inner pocket. She takes a long drink of it and puts it away. "Hey... as long as they pay me, I don't care what the reason. I'll put a damn horse up for a trophy if I find one."
Talazia snorts a bit. "So be it." She's still looking at the ground to find any trace of the boar.
Kilian moves forward a bit, looking quite ready to fulfill the trophy requirement. "Hope there is a feast afterwards... hunting for trophy can work up a good thirst."
Jahnavi would smile, if she had lips. She picks her way through the forest like someone looking for something to rise up and eat them. At any moment. ...and like someone used to a completely different sort of terrain. "Food would be good."
<OOC> Talazia rolls survival to see if I can't find a trace of said boar.
GAME: Talazia rolls survival+3: (13)+9+3: 25
Travelling to the east for a few hours through the thick wild jungle you start seeing signs of a large boar in the area. Stripped bark, furrows in the ground between the trees and vines, that sort of thing.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Can I get Knowledge/Nature if anyone has it? :)"
GAME: Talazia rolls knowledge/nature: (6)+7: 13
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Yup, boar. A big one."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You have its trail."
Amaryllis follows the group, pulling out a cloth-wrapped package and nibbling on some cheese and crackers from it as you all progress on the trail of the large animal.
Kilian looks over the strips of bark removed from a tree. "Something has been through here... I say we kill it." She glances through the jungle, as if she'd know what she was looking for. "Which way did it go?"
"You're a bit too eager to kill something. Sometimes a little bit of patience would do you a little bit of good." Talazia says as she looks at the ground and smirks. "Mmmm.....that should be big enough." She says as she starts moving in the direction the hoof print points.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Can I get perception all round please? :)"
GAME: Jahnavi rolls perception: (17)+8: 25
GAME: Talazia rolls perception: (6)+11: 17
"Something, huh?" Jahnavi follows Kilian's gesture, and stares a while at the stripped tree as they head past. She rolls her shoulders uneasily and then looks about, as though to force her eyes to focus in the dim light. Dim light that blocks the sky. "Any guesses on something? ...your eyes seem sharp."
GAME: Kilian rolls perception: (13)+0: 13
There is a rustling in the undergrowth and up ahead you all spot the biggest boar most of you have ever seen. Rivalling a horse in size it stands a good six feet at the shoulder and has a steeply-sloping bristle-haired back. It looks up from the ferns it's rooting under and glares at you all with mad piggy eyes, clearly preparing to charge.
Ssylrath has dropped a TIMESTOP!

Kilian looks back at Jahnavi, and smiles but wipes the sweat out of her eyes and off her brow. "Not much... with all this heat." She glances towards Talazia, "Patiences interrupts drinking time..." she stops looking at the boar. "Yeah, that was fast." Her all to favored desire to kill something is pulled up short by her desire to survive the encounter.
You are at the edge of a smallish clearing about 30 feet across, it's on the far side from you. Outside the clearing it's all difficult terrainand there are tree trunks to take cover behind.

<OOC> Talazia says, "Rapid shot for me"
Kilian says, "Yeah... this is going to get interesting.." she draws her bow back, the beeautiful black wood creaking as she does. She slows her breath, then smiles as she releases her bow. She watches it sail away.. "OH yeah..." It hits hard into the boar. "Oh crap..." knowing what will come next."

Moving to Kilian's side, as she shot at it first, Talazia turns and fires two arrows at the boar, burying both into the side of the pig.

You paged Talazia with 'It looks like it should have collapsed, except boars are notoriously tough.'
"SKRAAAAA!" Jahnavi's eyes finish adjusting just as the boar rips through. She stumbles, bringing the glaive to bear as quickly as she can, and scores a good rip on its hide.
GAME: Ssylrath rolls 1d3: (2): 2
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "A smaller one comes out of the undergrowth and attacks.... Talazia. Charge."

From out behind the tree that the big board was rooting by comes a smaller one, looking similar but smaller. It also squeals and charges, goring Talazia in the leg.
It is now Kilian's turn! Boar is next!
<OOC> Kilian says, "5 foot back and shoot again. It did just gore me. BACON!"

It is now Talazia's turn! Jahnavi is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Talazia?"
Kilian staggers after the bore ripped into her, taking a step back she lets another two arrows fly in quick order. The goring does throw off her concentration and the second one doesn't bit. "Damn thing... " she grunts.. looking a bit white from the damage.
The massive boar squeals in pain and rage, following Kilian as she shoots. It shakes its head sideways and gores her badly, blood spraying.
<OOC> Talazia moves back towards Jahnavi by 5 feet and rapid shot towards the big pig.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Roll it. Damage after each hit please. ;)"

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "It doesn't go down. Pose it."
It is now Jahnavi's turn! Baby Boar is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Jahnavi?"
This egalrin bears all the fierceness of her race, though in muted grays. She stands at the height of most human men, with shoulders borne to bear armor, and wings that stretch greater than the distance of great eagles. She carries a polearm along her back, and a set of hunter's bolas--a weightier, more deadly version of the common weapon.
<OOC> Jahnavi raises hand. "I've got reach. We're going to try and use that to protect the archers. Just please let me know if it comes up. Ah...otherwise, may I try to Cleave?"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "With a bit of maneivering, yes."
<OOC> Jahnavi ok.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Hit."
GAME: Jahnavi rolls 1d20+7-1: (3)+7+-1: 9
Wincing as the baby gores her, Talazia now sees what's going on, but there's nothing she can do now. Moving towards Jahnavi, Talazia tries to protect kilian by killing the momma boar, but since only one of her arrows hits, the boar doesn't go down. "Damn."
GAME: Jahnavi rolls 1d10+8: (3)+8: 11
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Kill on the first one, miss on the second."
<OOC> Jahnavi whew.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Pose your impressive kill please. :)"
It is now Baby Boar's turn! Kilian is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "As talazia only 5' away from the small one, it just has to 5' after her and thus doesn't provoke. It does so."
Jahnavi clamps her beak shut, and sends the glaive spinning. On the count of one, it skewers the boar, and drops the fearsome beast. On the count of two, it goes wide and misses the smaller creature, and sends the elder's blood across't the forest leaves.
GAME: Ssylrath rolls 4: (9)+4: 13
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Miss."
As the mother boar sags to the jungle floor the smaller one squeals in rage but fails to connect a second time with Talazia. It seems if possible even more enraged than the larger one was.
It is now Kilian's turn! Boar is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "If you all take cover behind Jahnavi, you can make it provoke to approach."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Kilian?"
<OOC> Kilian says, "Shoot again and move behind Jahnavi.. :)"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You'll have to not rapid shot to move that far."
<OOC> Kilian nods "Ok.. I'll have to limp my way there.. :D
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Roll."
GAME: Kilian rolls 1d20+9+1: (14)+9+1: 24

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Pose it."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "First blood."
It is now Talazia's turn! Jahnavi is next!
<OOC> Talazia moves behind jahnavi...out of the silly thing's reach.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, that'll provoke unless you tumble or withdraw."
<OOC> Talazia withdraws.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Pose it. :)"
It is now Jahnavi's turn! Baby Boar is next!
<OOC> Jahnavi says, "Try and chop chop."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You are sheltering the other two, you can move up and attack or let it come in and AoO."
Seeing the boar is after her blood, Talazia is perfectly fine turning and getting the heck out of the boar's reach. but now the board has to face Jahnavi.
<OOC> Jahnavi would rather move up. Then it would provoke later if it tried going past?
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Yep. Roll attack."
<OOC> Jahnavi says, "Ok!"
GAME: Jahnavi rolls 1d20+7-1: (9)+7+-1: 15

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "It is bleeding heavily and should have fallen, but didn't. Boars are tough."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Pose it."
It is now Baby Boar's turn! Kilian is next!
Kilian pulls in all her reserves, pulling the huge bow again, letting it fly to strike hard. Knowing she can't take another hit, she limps towards the bird-chick. "I... hope ... someone is... healing.."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "It'll attack the person with the stick that hit it."
GAME: Ssylrath rolls 4: (18)+4: 22
<OOC> Jahnavi says, "Hit!"
GAME: Ssylrath rolls 1d8+4: (1)+4: 5
GAME: You damaged Jahnavi for 5 points. 27 remaining.
Jahnavi braces, thrusting forward with the blade. She twists as she draws it out, and cuts across the young boar's legs. It's a boar, though. That only makes it pissed the hell off.
The smaller pig staggers forward and stabs at the Egalrin with its tusks, drawing blood again. It seems sustained by pure rage.
It is now Kilian's turn! Talazia is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, it has cover from Jahnavi unless you move, and is in melee. Point Blank Shot?"
<OOC> Kilian says, "Of course!!"
<OOC> Kilian says, "And precise shot :D"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "The big one was easy as you could always shoot the far end. One shot without cover or two with?"
<OOC> Kilian says, "One without cover"

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Damaged. Pose."
It is now Talazia's turn! Jahnavi is next!
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Same situation. One shot or two?"
<OOC> Talazia says, "One shot."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Roll."
GAME: Talazia rolls weapon1+1: (11)+7+1: 19
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Hit."
GAME: Talazia rolls 1d8+2+1: (6)+2+1: 9
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "That drops it. Pose. I'll keep the timestop up for mechanics but once Talazia poses we're out of initiaive order."
After having gotten behind Jahnavi, she knows she can't rest yet. She takes a step out to get a better shot, pulling her large bow, takes a shot dealing more damage. "Come on second trophy... drop!"
Thankfully, since Jahnavi's keeping the smaller boar occupied, Talazia has time to aim a little more carefully. Once Jahnavi gives the pig a slice, and Kilian stick the boar with an arrow, Talazia's shot buries itself in the boar's eye, instantly killing it. "Ow. That explains why the larger one was fighting so hard."
The second smaller boar also crashes to the ground.
Jahnavi's beak clicks shut, though she's breathing harshly. "That..." she starts to say, and then looks to their employer. Changes it. "How is everyone doing?" A look. "Defending her kit. No shame in that." The fierce expression almost softens.
Amaryllis gave a small scream when the giant pig charged but other than that has watched with interest and now cheers. "Yes! Excellently done! This will make a fine trophy and will put my uncle to shame. And be a fine High Hunt of course." She claps her hands in concern as you all finish fighting. "Oh! But I do have a small number of healing potions put away for a rainy day if you wish them? It would have to come out of your pay of course...."
Kilian lowers herself to the ground holding her wounds that the larger boar did, trying to stem the blood. "Yeah.. no shame.." she takes out her flask and pours it on her wound, then takes a huge swig. "Wait.. what? Really, out of our pay?" she lays back in pain. "Ok.. not sure... "
Kilian says, "I can probably limp on....""
Talazia says, "No. I don't blame her at all." She sas looking at the larger boar. "It's mother I'd bet." She then looks up to Amaryllis. "A bargain instead. You get the larger boar's head for your 'trophy', and perhaps the smaller one as well." She then looks to the other two. "The rest....we eat. All of us.""
Amaryllis frowns at Kilian. "I only have so much budget for this expedition and potions are costly. Don't worry, you'll still be handsomly rewarded."
<OOC> Kilian says, "OMG not out of my pay!!"
<OOC> Ssylrath laughs. :)
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Bascially I note in the log how many were used, staff take that into account when giving awards. :)"
Jahnavi stares hard at Kilian, and then glances towards their employer. Her own blood runs sluggishly. "If the lady is willing. We could make bargain with the locals...if we join them for a night, we all heal and save your coin. ...but we'll prepare your hides, too, and keep them more pristine. Better, get the lay of the land from local guides. ...could lead to a better creature. Better trophy."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "But yes, stopping for a feast is fine. The horse can't take the whole mom boar back, just the head."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Can I get Knowledge/Local? :)"
<OOC> Jahnavi can do Perception. But hahahaha.
Talazia looks to Jahnavi and tilts her head. "I like that idea better. I was at one of the meetings of the Sith'makar, and if we bring an offering, they may welcome us more readily, especially if it's a feast for them and us."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Without it you don't even who who would be local let alone where. You are only a couple of hours from the portal though."
<OOC> Jahnavi says, "Portal sounds safer!"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "It's where you came from."

<OOC> Jahnavi says, "Driven! :D"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Kilian, you can say anything you like. Talazia and Kilian, you recall that the nearest Sith-makar village was in a different direction. You also remember overhearing something about troglodytes."
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Jahnavi, you were apparently distracted. ;)"
<OOC> Jahnavi found bugs on a log!
The egalrin fluffs her wings at the praise, and then makes the mistake of looking too closely at one of the fallen logs. Am'shere wildlife is weird. That looks like a tiny, fuzzy fly. That has fangs. STAAAAAAAAAAAARE.
Kilian continues to hold her wound, "Yeah, I don't care where we go. Let's just get there... or I'm going to be out of booze." she shakes her flask. "Where is my pack...? I might have a spare." She looks from one to the other. "Portal.. I don't want run... " grunts in pain, "into any of those troglodytes we heard them others talking about."
Stare. "I'm good with hides." Stare. ...the tiny fly just grabbed onto a mantis-sized insect, and is eating its brains. Jahnavi looks distracted. "Whatever our employer agrees to." ...stare.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "If anyone wants any potions just pose taking and using one and roll the 1d8+1."
Talazia looks over towards Kilian and looks in the opposite direction of the portal. "yeah. lets head back towards the portal. I'm good in forests, but this is......almost alien to me." She then nudges Jahnavi. "Come on. We'll have that feast when we get back." She then looks to Amaryllis. "We stop at Mictlan first." It's not a question.
Jahnavi nudges Talazia, then looks towards their employer, briefly. Amaryllis has the purse strings, that nudge says.
Alaryllis dismounts to inspect the boars more closely. "Oh, these will be capital, can you cut off this head and load it up please? I have a large canvas to wrap the head in so as to not attract predators. I came prepared." She seems inordinately proud, although unwilling to do manual labour herself. "Are you sure you don't want a potion? You don't look healthy and it's a couple of hours back, plus looks like a good hour of work here first."
<OOC> Kilian will take a potoin... "Just put it in the flask.. I'll pretend its booze. ;)

Seeing as how the boar is as big a horse, Talazia makes a face. She's a hunter, and she EATS what she kills. "Jahnavi. Can you take the head off?" She says quietly before she tugs out a dagger and begins to cut choice pieces off of the boar, and the smaller one. POintedly wrapping them in cloth, four separate ones, with a larger one going into a big piece of cloth, and placing them on the horse. "Let's head back."

Timestop by Ssylrath has left.
Loading up the smaller animal and the head of the larger to your pack animal, and some wound-bandaging all round, you set out back for the portal. Travelling is faster as you are just following your own trail but your trip is interrupted by a loud crashing ahead. From out of the undergrowth at the side of the trail a good 50' ahead of you bursts a large Swiftclaw. It turns to ragard you and you spot a javelin lodged in its hide and the wounds left by several others before it bounds out of sight on the far side of the path.
Immediately thereafter you hear the whooping bellows of whatever the swiftclaw was running from and into the trail, hot on its track, comes a small hunting party of the lizard-people known as Troglodytes. Unlike the swiftclaw however these don't all continue as four of them peel off to face you, licking their muzzels hungrily. Several of the shout "For Gunakhar! For the Destroyer and the Hunt!" <draconic>
Ssylrath has dropped a TIMESTOP!

Kilian gets hit with a javelin, and yeowls in pain. Sputtering in anger and pain, she pulls her bow back, and lets fly two arrows... only one hitting. "This.. is... " she cuts off with a catch in her breath. "Make this quick.... please..." she can bearly hold up her bow, as she begins pulling more arrows.

Kilian her face white and bloodied, looking nearly faint with pain. She pulls on her great bow, letting the arrows fly. Only one of them catches an arrow, but it doesn't take him down. Her breath is coming in rasping gasps, "this... I need a drink.." she rummages for her next arrows.
<OOC> Jahnavi says, "That?"
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Yep. Please pose a just-as-spectacular final kill."
Killing another trog before she aims at these two, Talazia puts an arrow into the forehead, feathers deep, of one troglodyte, and puts another into the shoulder of another.
"Drink? I'm in." For a giant bird, Jahnavi's panting as she brings the glaive back around. She grips it, bringing one end down sharply, then up in a stabbing motion that cuts beneath the trog's gullet...and shoves right in. She stays frozen like that for just a moment.
Amaryllis gasps as the Troglodytes seem to be gaining the upper hand, but then claps in glee as you dispatch the final two. "Oh... goodie! And cultists of Gunakhar as well! Nasty beasts, there's no way we can use these stinky things as trophies. I think we should hurry along before the others come back."
Timestop by Ssylrath has left.
GAME: You remove the timestop.
<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Please, open posing again. :)"
Jahnavi steps back, staring at what had been a near death. She looks dazed as she turns that look to Amaryllis and...one. Two. ..."Yes," she says, on automatic, and shoulders the weapon.
"Yes. Lets get moving before the rest of their kind returns." Talazia says before pointedly puts an arrow into the skull of an already dead troglodyte. "Get moving." She then looks to Kilian. "You gonna make it?"
Kilian goes down to a knee, as one leg is open and drenching her pants with blood. She tries to catch her breath, her wounds hurting quite a bit. "Yeah... I think I"m done hunting... today." She uses her bow to help her stand. "I'm going to make something.. for sure."
"Those worth anything?" Jahnavi asks. She jabs a hand at the...trogs, and looks at their employer. "Gunahakar hates Cernan--Gilead. I think. Wouldn't it be?"
You all quickly check the trogs for anything useful, finding nothing but some symbols of Gunakhar the Destroyer, the god of monsters. You push on and arrive at the portal bleeding and battered but triumphant.
Kilian looks around at the jungle, "Probably plant food..."
Amaryllis agrees with Jahnavi.
Jahnavi snatches up the blooded symbols, then. Other kind of trophy, yeah? Amaryllis can wear them around her neck if she likes.
