Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

"At least a part of it, sure. Being able to rest at the nights without fear of goblins for now is something I could use."

Dove gave a little shiver as she began to pack her things up. Thankfully nothing too traumatic had happened but being kidnapped was never something you wanted to just brush off, nor did she want to risk Stripes on guard duty. She definitely had to look into some new spells.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

She was busy loading her things on Peto when Sam came up, holding out the bow. "Oh...um...thank you," she said with a soft smile, taking the bow and looking it over before testing the string. Satisfied, she unshouldered her original bow and unstrung it and placed it among her things on Peto's back. With that done, she shouldered the new one, giving Sam a smile. "Always good to have a backup."

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

After all the items are given up, Sam shakes his head "Split it up. I feel others helped out." Even if it would be good for the rogue, something inside of him seems to want to be fair-a odd sight for the rogue. He climbs up, eyes darting to each of them. Tilting his head, he puts the goggles on but not lowered. After all that is put into the wagon which isn't much-just some daggers and minor weapons and the goblin weapons he motions for the others to follow. The wagon seems like a armory. But has some minor supplies within it. A mini-store spot. When all is set and done, the group moves through the encampment and back to the main road. A days travel. The forest surrounds the road. Its quiet and calm. Some minor critters peep out here and there. Typical wildlife. The weather is decent, with a slight breeze but soon the weather may make the group go to the weather gear. Fall. The road goes for awhile and moves off to the slight west.

OOC Make a Perception Check. And if trained in it Survival.
So everyone has horses minus Sam as he's got the wagon. So where is Dove going to be? Walking? On someone elses horse? Back of the wagon or up front with Sam?

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Dove happily rides in the back of the Wagon, not wanting to sit besides him but figuring it's the easiest way to keep up with the party. Albeit if they plan to go at a walk she has no problems with walking for a bit. It's better to keep her body limber after all.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

With a smile, Halie led Peto out before mounting up and taking point. Her coppery red hair hung loosely about her shoulders, occassionally getting tossled by the breeze, hazel eyes darting about.

Dreamljocht follows his companions. He is somewhat dsitracted by this thoughts. He ponders on Sam and on Dove. Both strangers with an unknown inheritance and each in their own way there seems to be a resemblance?

Jemimwitt kept an eye out along with his steed, who's nose and ears could pick up a great deal of potential threats.

Muffins was full of energy and quite fast, darting and investigating to the side or behind sniffing for threats.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

They seem to be on the right track as they get to a fork, both looking the same but the path to the northeast seems to have been used but not recently and the other looks smaller with deep forest area drooping down that looks like it swevers and goes out of sight looking like it goes downards at a angle. The two in lead don't go down the beaten path, with the rogue following their lead.

With Jem and Haile about 50' ahead around a corner out of sight, they notice a massive bear sitting in the middle of the road. Its huge and turns watching the two approach upon their steeds. It growls, digging its claws in and lets out a loud roar! It stands up, at least 9' tall and growls.

Upon hearing the roar, Sam gets the wagon to stop as Dove falls backwards inside the wagon byt doesn't get hurt. Dream keeps moving and stops and glances back at Sam but he hears the roar once more.

OOC
Sam, Dove and Dream hear it and stop but don't see what made it between the thick woods and the corner above. About 40' to the curve. The cavalier and ranger are out if sight for now.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Muffins ears immediately flattened and he got low to the ground as the bear roared, but didn't immediately charge or run off: he was very well trained, naturally.

"Whoa there, easy boy!"

Jemimwitt started backing up at a high pace. Muffins could move faster than just about any other dog, despite his stubby legs. He looked over at Halie and made sure she wasn't left out here alone.

"Unless you have some trick to drive it off, lets back up to the wagon, Halie? No reason to try and fight that thing unless we have to. I'll back your play either way, of course."

A foe issuing a full challenge was one thing, but he wasn't about to just charge forward to slay a beast in the wild that wasn't harming anyone. He'd never had trouble with them before, but who knew with the weirdness of the forest these days.

Dreamljocht holds his horse, jumps off and ties it with a loose knot to the cart. His scimitar drawn, he runs to the corner where Halie and Jem were last seen.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Dove shifts once standing up to keep an eye out for an ambush, but doesn't plan to rush after the others. Yet anyway. A blocked road is a common trick for bandits and considering this is goblin territory she's not going to risk being ambushed from behind. Again.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Life was easier when he was alone. Always did what he wanted, always got paid. And only worried for himself. Now this. The ranger may need his help. A cavalier that seemed odd, a elf cleric that seemed always nice. And now the sorcerer. He drops down, makes sure the horses are tethered dispite not listening to him immediatly. Fighting the urge to go after them, he goes to the back of the wagon, waiting but he keeps looking down the path where the others left. One of his daggers suddently appears in his hand and is tossed up a few times.

----------------------------------------
Around the corner, the ranger looks at the cavalier and now the cleric "Back up slowly. Quiet. Calm."

The bear growls, keeping its distance and lowers itself down. It grunts and growls, staring at them.

OOC
Make a Perception check and a Knowledge (Nature) check-Haile, Dream and Jem.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Halie didn't draw any weapons, instead, watching the bear carefully as she subtly motioned the others back. She didn’t seem to be overly worried though she did her best to keep a proper read on the situation.

dreanljocht doesn't here new sounds after the first disturbing sounds, so he walks forward to the bend cautiously, calling: "Halie, Jem, are you allright?"

"We are fine!" Halie called back but didn't take her eyes off the bear. "I think this is...a momma dire bear protecting her cub..." She couldn't be entirely sure but that is how it seemed to her.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

It growls as the cleric approaches the ranger and cavalier with his sword out! Hard to tell if the bear is protecting the young one, or is in a bad mood. Or perhaps both. Suddenly, the bear charges Dream and goes to rip into the man with a claw! It tears into the flesh and knocks the cleric down to the ground.

RRRROOOOOARRRRR!!!

Sam turns and darts into the woodlands seeming to be aiming for the roar.

11:09, Today: Sam Cascious rolled 19 using 1d20+17.  Stealth.

OOC
Initiative!

Dove: Your about 60-70 from the bear (30' down the road, 30-40 to the bear) but can't see it. You definaly hear it.

Dream take 9 damage and are prone.

Don't think Jem has a drawn weapon and Halie is not armed at the moment.

Halie cursed loudly, not wanting this battle or really to harm the bear. She began to softly chant.

Going to cast Calm Animal. Hopefully this works.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

As soon as Dreamljocht can, he crawls away from the angry bear. When he is some paces away, he stands. He keeps his scimitar more behind his back as the weapon seemed to enrage the dire bear. He waits for the ranger to pacify the enormous animal.

Dreamljocht rolled 7 using 1d20+4. Initiative.

Jemimwitt cursed as the bear charged: no question here, he'd have to drive it off to save his ally. He began readying his lance for a charge.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Dove jolted at the loud roar of the bear, and scrambled out of the cart heading for the group. Mace in hand she doubted she would get close enough to help in a short amount of time but she wouldn't just leave the group in trouble.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

The bear grunts as the spell tries to calm him down but it is able to push it off. Another loud growl comes.

Sam is somewhere.

Dream moves back along the ground and then stands, slowed by being on the ground.
*Moves back prone 15' and stands up (Think it takes a action to stand)

Dove goes to find out what is going on and stop as she sees the huge bear with the cleric on the ground grasping her mace.
*Bout 20' from the bear

OOC
Got a 23 save so made it.

Waiting on Jem then will post for the bear.

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

"GET OFF MY FRIEND YOU VILE BEAST"

Jemimwitt screamed with surprising volume given his size, readied his lance, and began a charge.

Muffins, charging at full tilt, ceased to be quite as adorable as you'd initially take him for. He was also fast. Ridiculously fast, in fact: faster than most horses, in fact, and Jemimwitt lowered himself and prepared for a hell of an impact as he charged the dire bear.

It might not be a dragon or intelligent, but this bear would be a worthy foe at least.

(OOC: Swift challenge, move draw lance, standard action charge with lance
+2 morale to hit due to challenge bonus, +4 to hit due to charge (cavalier)

10:10, Today: Jemimwitt Haethy rolled 17 using 1d20+15 ((2)).
Ah well, dice gotta dice sometimes.)


Unfortunnately, the lance went a little wide as the beast moved at the last second, glancing off the thing's absurdly tough hide.

With a roar, the bear turns his attention on the cavalier. It stands up and slashes at him then sinks its teeth into the halfling!

Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!

Muffins tried to attack the bear's face as the thing attacked, pushing away with two paws, but was entirely unsuccessful.

Intercept blow on the 21 strike.

Jemimwitt screamed a combination of rage and pain as he took the attacks. Muffins gave a growl and a bite as Jemimwitt staggered under the assault.

08:53, Today: Jemimwitt Haethy rolled 28 using 1d20+11 ((17)). Ride check. >

08:54, Today: Jemimwitt Haethy rolled 18 using 1d20+7 ((11)).
08:56, Today: Jemimwitt Haethy rolled 8 using 1d6+5 ((3)).
Not sure if 18 hits though. If it does muffins gets a free trip.
09:00, Today: Jemimwitt Haethy rolled 17 using 1d20+7 ((10)).
Given the size difference, there's no way that's even close.
