Makoto and Yin will use levitate to get Yin up, says something in Celestial up the tree where she uses Burning Hands.

Conan will move closer to the tree from where he is, putting his mace away while he is walking and after that getting an arrow ready to fire, once he sees the bird.

AxeBeakF 39 dam  dying
Brown Eagle 7 dam

Bobble ;carries infusion Expeditious Retreat, bow
Rebel 16 dam ; 29 hp/13con
Tucker
Conan  4 dam ;carries infusion enlarge person, bow,
Conover  4 dam ; 1/2 speed
Makoto    dam ;Mage Armor, wand
Chito
Yin 24 dam ;carries infusion Shield, Invested Protective Luck, Lifelink-Conan,
          Mage Armor
dog1, dog2, goat, mule, carthorse, warhorse

Round 6
  Bobble stops and shoots and for a second he thinks he might hit, but he hit a branch (with cover ac 22+).  Rebel moves forward and as he gets to Tucker he leaps of the bridge side wall jumping 20'(to K8), runs around the brush and takes 4 damage from some spike growth (in L6; makes save) before leaping 10' into the tree.  Conan puts his magic mace away and moves forward (see note on post 26 about sheathing weapons) through the undergrowth along the river.  The ground beneath the undergrowth is spike growth, Conan takes 7 dam and is moving at 1/2 speed.  Conover having been forgotten by Conan (not even mentioned in his last post) and not liking the feel of the ground moves forward next to Makoto into even more Spike Growth. He takes 4 dam and is limping at 1/2 speed.  The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking at Bobble approaching him.

Round 7
  On Yin's turn Conan is healed 5 hp(and his 1/2 speed effect is healed as well) and Yin takes 5hp.  Makoto and Yin converse in Celestial before Makoto puts away her bola and uses levitate on Yin.  Yin starts levitating up the tree, until she is 20' high where she finally sees the bird (a brown small sized eagle).  She uses burning hands and the top of the tree erupts in flame, 13dam, the bird shows excellent reflexes and manages to avoid the worst of the flames.  The tree isn't quite on fire, but is smoldering and smoking.  Not enough smoke to affect anyone, yet.  The Brown Eagle flutters down 5', putting Yin between it and Conan and Bobble, and full attacks her, hitting all 3 times for 9 dam).  The bird has less str than a normal eagle and did less damage.


Your turn.
- The Brown Eagle is directly above Makoto, 20' up.
- https://aonprd.com/SpellDispla...mName=Spike%20Growth
- the squares do 1d4 dam/5' and allow a ref save(dc 17) to avoid "move at half speed"
- to see it,
Makoto/Yin/Bobble know what square it is in but Bobble needs a dc 23 perception roll (success= 20% miss chance, fail= 50% miss chance),
Conan can't see from where he is in the undergrowth, move forward 5' and he needs a dc 20 perception roll (success= 20% miss chance, fail= 50% miss chance)
- The Brown Eagle got a little lucky to hit all 3 time and did max dam on all 3 hits.
- I added grid coordinates for you to use, if you choose not to be specific I will interpret your actions as best I can, but not necessarily to your characters benefit.
- any ranged attacks are going to be at -8 (-4 in melee, -4 cover) + probably miss chance from concealment(the leaves)

Yin has Makoto lower her down and then channels positive energy, says something in Celestial, that sound unusually harsh, possibly a curse word.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:31, Sat 18 July 2020.

Conan, Rebel, Conover and Yin will all be healed 8 dam by Yin's channel.  Conover is cured of "move at 1/2 speed".

Conan moves forward toward the combat, pulling out his infusion and taking it.

Bobble will move towards the tree at normal speed and will continue to look for the eagle. If he gets a shot at the eagle he will take it. Rebel will   try to get a melee attack on the bird as well. Please roll for me working on getting stuff out of our old house.

Round 7
  Conan finds his connection with Yin is stopped(no more lifelink) as he slogs his way through the undergrowth (1 dam), pulling out his infusion and taking it. Conover waits near Makoto as his feet are hurting.  As he enlarges, he feels his front half is in spike growth and his back half is out of spike growth.  Bobble moves forward but doesn't get a good view of his target.  He walks through 10' of spike growth, suffering 6 damage and limping at 1/2 speed.  Rebel reaches up and "jumps"/pulls himself up 5' and attacks the bird from below, managing to score 1 claw hit for 4 dam. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking as Bobble moves past him.

Round 8
  Makoto and Yin converse in Celestial before Makoto lowers Yin back down.  The Eagle bites her for 3 more damage as an AOO.   Yin channels again, healing everyone 8 dam and removing any "moves at 1/2 speed" effects.  Makoto uses the wand on Yin, healing 4 dam.  The Brown Eagle flutters up 5' away from Rebel and casts a spell, all his wounds heal.

Your turn.
- The Brown Eagle is directly above Conover, 25' up.
- By the way the Eagle is moving around the tree it's like the tree is getting out of the way.  Yeah, it's a druid with Woodland stride.
- https://aonprd.com/SpellDispla...mName=Spike%20Growth
- the squares do 1d4 dam/5' and allow a ref save(dc 17) to avoid "move at half speed"
- Everyone can see it, ranged attacks have a 20% miss chance

Hey Mr Eagle! I would guess you are a Druid? Why are you attacking us? We were just traveling through here and meant no harm to anyone or anything. We are good guys trying to right a wrong. The birds attacked us and we defended ourselves. No reason for you to die here today.

As he speaks Bobble will continue moving forward, scanning the tree for the bird. He prepares to use acid splash once close enough if the bird continues attacking.

The Eagle Druid squawks angrily at Bobble.

  Yin will wait until everyone has acted and suffered damage from the spike growth, and then channel energy again.

Conan will move closer to the tree with the bird in it (5' forward), dropping his bow and drawing his long knife (dagger).   Once at the tree, Conan will grab a heavier branch to hang onto.    He will then use the branch to reach up to the bird/ druid and then possibly to hit him.

Round 8
    Bobble moves forward for the best angle and goes through 5' of spikes, taking 3 dam and makes his save, readies an action to cast a spell.  Rebel reaches up and "jumps"/pulls himself up 5' (Over Makoto) and attacks the bird from below, but misses. Conan drops his bow, moves forward using branches to get off the ground and up 5' as he pulls out is "dagger" and stabs at the bird from below, a slashing or blunt weapon would be hard to use in this tree.  1 hand is grabbing a branch, the other is holding his "dagger" and he hits, dealing 10 dam.  Conover waits near Makoto. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking as Bobble moves past him.

Round 9
  Makoto casts a glitterdust spell on the bird which is covered in glittery sparkles, but is not blinded.  Yin channels again, healing everyone 7 dam and removing any "moves at 1/2 speed" effects.  The Brown Eagle starts flying away giving Rebel and Conan an Aoo, which Conan hits, doing 8 dam.  Bobble casts his acid splash dealing 2 dam.  The eagle moves 60', looks back and a bolt of lightning hits both Rebel(8 failed ref) and Makoto(4 saved).

Conan will put his long knife in the ground to mark where he put his bow, to come back for it.   With blood in his eyes partly because this bird/ druid kept nickel and dimming us for damage but wouldn't leave us alone as well.   Conan will say, "Conover on me."   When the dog comes over to me, he'll whisper in his ears with a sad and war lorn look away and send the dog rushing towards the bird barking, baiting the bird to do something to the dog.   Conan will follow suit a few heartbeats after Conover's charge with a charge of his own with his sword out which he took out while he put the dagger in the ground.   "This ends now, Druid."   Conan says in Orcish and as he is yelling a Ork war cry.

(realizing that Conan failed his reflex save, he's going at half speed, can I either set up the charge for the end of this round or the next.)
[Most of the dialog and putting away weapons etc. is for dramatic effect.]

Round 9
    Bobble hits the bird with an arrow for 6 dam.  Rebel just says, "I'm on it" as he jumps down 10'(right above Yin), out 15', moves 10', jumps over the same patch of ground he jumped over before, moves past a startled Tucker and ends up almost below the Eagle Druid.  Conan sends Conover rushing after the bird following Rebel.  However, Conover is just a dog and isn't as smart as rebel so doesn't know when to jump.  So he ends up moving through several squares of Spike Growth and takes 14 dam, but manages to avoid any major foot damage (successful save).  Meanwhile, Conan drops his "dagger" and moves after his dog, drawing his sword as he moves.  Conan almost immediately gets a painful limp and starts moving at 1/2 speed and takes 8 dam. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker can stand it no longer and takes off after Conover, barking at the bird.

Round 10
  Makoto reaches and grabs Yin by the ankle, and using her 10' reach with her robe to clear the branches, pulls her out of the tree like a ballon.  Yin meanwhile casts a spell, and because she is now out of the tree, she doesn't have a miss chance.  A beam of light projects out of her palm and hits the bird for 5 dam.  The Brown Eagle keeps flying away into a thick tree across the river.  A bolt of lightning hits Rebel(5 dam, successful ref save).

Makoto chats with Yin and then yells to Conan, "Keep Conover there until we get in position and heal him." Then she tows Yin forward and Yin will channel positive energy.

Conan will do as Makoto asks and command Conover to sit and stay until he full moves out of the spike grown ground.   Conan will also ask Miss Makoto to pick up his bow  and long knife from where he put them next to the tree where the bird had been originally, if she could that is please, given her robe is actively moving out 10' or so.   Once he gets up to where the Rebel and the dogs are he'll order Conover to go out scouting for the bird by going forward.

Bobble will move towards the bridge again and make a perception check. If he succeeds he will again shoot his bow. He will send Rebel ahead along with Tucker towards the tree:

Round 10
    Bobble moves forward and shoots into the tree but doesn't appear to hit.  Rebel pause his movement to wait for Makoto and Yin...  While he does a full move forward (12 dam) Conan orders Conover to stop, waiting for Makoto/Yin to move...  Tucker waits for Rebel/Conover to move forward... The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.

Round 11
  Makoto starts moving forward holding on to Yin with her robe, trying to build up momentum and when they get 10' from the bridge she tries to pull her self up to float over the ground on the Yin "balloon".  At least that was the plan, but her grip slips and she ends up skipping across the ground (rolled a 1 to hold on, takes 4 dam).
 Yin channels positive energy healing everyone but the Axebeak for 6 dam.  Conan orders Conover forward.  ...Conover, Rebel and Tucker all move forward, with Rebel slightly behind the dogs.  Conover hits a patch of Spike Growth but is through it almost immediately and continues forward at full speed.  Rebel jumps over the same ground, and over Conover into the tree.  Tucker running alongside Conover hits a patch of Spike Growth and is limping along at 1/2 speed.  From the clear sky a lightning bolt slams into the carthorse (10 dam), which spooks the horse that tries to move away and takes (13) damage from the spike growth under it.  The carthorse collapses and is bleeding heavily.  A glittering eagle moves from the tree, off the map and into a thicker set of trees along the river.

Ok the whole golden image of an eagle thing has Bobble confused. He will lower his bow and rush over to the poor cart horse. Bobble casts Celetial Healing on the horse, giving it fast healing 1 for a few moments.
This message was last edited by the player at 20:18, Sat 25 July 2020.

Makoto and Yin will chat in celestial and then Makoto will ask Conan, "So what are you doing?"

"Clearly with the bird moving around like he is, he's keeping his distance from Rebel and myself, the heavy hitters.   So I was thinking of luring it to us instead of constantly chasing it over this god forsaken forest."   Says Conan after he sees the bird fly off and stops near the girls of the party.   Plus after seeing the the bird fly off he'll call Conover back to him.   (When the dogs and Rebel get back to the party, Conan will just channel 2d8+3 on everyone.)

Round 11/12
   Realizing the futility of pursuit, the group turns it's attention away from the flying druid.  Bobble heads toward the carthorse, walks into a Spike Growth, takes 2 damage and limps over to the horse and starts casting a healing spell (Celestial Healing takes 1 round to cast).  Conan calls Conover back and Tucker follows.  Makoto says to Conan, "Stay there, I'll get your bow" and tries the same thing she tried last round, using Yin as a balloon.  Only this time she succeeds and then leaves Yin floating in the air above safe ground.  She continues moving carefully till she is in grabbing range of Conan's bow (took her full round to move).  Conover heads back the way he came, jumping over the spike growth with a limping Tucker behind him (they take no more dam from Spike Growths this round).  Rebel on the other hand, without a call from Bobble, continues his pursuit of the bird.  Yin will CPE healing 7 dam to everyone except Tucker, Conover and Rebel.  The carthorse is still unconscious.  Conan CPE healing 4 dam to everyone except the carthorse and Rebel - but including the female AxeBeakF.  Suddenly Conan is right next to an awake and angry large size bird that lashs out at him hitting for 11 dam as she struggles to stand up.  Reacting to defend his master Conover crits and drags her down, dying once again.  There is another lightning bolt in those trees where Rebel and the bird druid are located.

Round 12/13
   Bobble finishes his spell and the carthorse starts healing.  Makoto grabs the bow and hands it to Conan, "Here take your bow and watch for the bird."  She pushes Yin toward the carthorse and says something in celestial   However, Yin needs to be caught by Bobble as she drifts by him.  Yin uses Handle Animal to calm the injured horse and keep it immobile. Conover and Tucker finish off the female Axebeak.  Conan grabs his bow and looks around in time to see a brown eagle fly through a gap between trees 140' away.    A few seconds later an injured Rebel emerges from the trees and starts making his way back toward the group, his tail flicking angrily.


Out of combat
  Makoto will explain that the Spike Growth spell will last hours and there are probably 10-12 20x20 areas around, so it is essential to find where the druid put them.  Unfortunately, Bobble finds he cannot take 10 to find them (+14 perception vs dc28), and he can stop the 2 dogs on the cart from barking.  He finds a smug looking Chito had tied them to the cart to prevent them from jumping down and hurting themselves on spikes.  Yin can easily handle the well trained carthorse and Conan can handle Tucker and Conover while you discuss what to do now.  Rebel reports that there are some scrolls stuck to the tree on the far side of the river.  The druid seems to have run off.

Conan, Tucker and Conover are on the bridge.
Yin and Bobble are next to/on the horse and cart.
Makoto is where she is on the map.
Rebel is hiding in the tree on the far side of the river.
