The Grapple Forest

Atak readies another arrow, in case the fighters are unable to end the beast with their wrenches and swords. He is unwilling to shoot into combat unless necessary.

The Grapple Forest

With the chickenwolf right in his face, Black Angus can't get a good angle to attack. He shoves the beast back with his knee to try and get it out from under his reach to attack.

OOC: total miss, just a bit of description to try and set up for next round.
11:36, Today: Black Angus rolled 2,7 using 1d20+1,1d10+1.  attack with sword.

Using the distraction of attacking Angus, Bob thrusts his short sword at the last chicken wolf.

18:19, Today: Bob rolled 18,7 using 1d20+1,1d6+1 ((17,6)).

Between Bob and Darien's blows the last chicken-wolf falls.

Atak urges Randy forward a little, to see if he will eat the chicken-wolves like he did eat the lizard-chickens earlier. "Well, that was unique," he comments. "I wonder if the wolves have a den of sorts nearabouts where there might be something worth finding?" he asks out loud. "I'll patrol around and see if there is sign of their denning." He and Randy go searching in the direction the wolves came from.

Bob binds his wounds before he recovers his javelins.  As he waits for Atak to return, he does wonder what chicken wolf tastes like.

Randy just eyes the dead creatures with one eye seeming to be uninterested in them.

All the freshly blown leaves and flower petals make finding any trail impossible. You do find the trail you were on continues ahead, though there's no sign the chicken-wolves were on it.

Atak returns empty-handed. "Shall we continue?" he asks his companions, pointing to the trail ahead.

"Go for it, Bob," he says, in an uncharacteristically casual style, as his friend eyes the fresh kill.

After walking awhile the trail splits again, the one to the left slightly larger.  Chunks of concrete still found in odd places, but none of the landmarks you're looking for.

"I would move toward the smaller path, if the map is inconclusive, but let's take a look at it," Atak advises.

You haven't found one let alone two or three landmarks that'd help orient the map.  Taking the smaller path is pretty rough and the sun's setting soon, you hear some growls in the woods shortly thereafter a pair of brown bears saunter into view through the forest.

"I not want fight now.". Bob says, "We find place to rest?  Can leave goat if bears chase."

"Agreed, no use fighting bears if we don't need to. Let's move on. Hopefully they'll think twice about attacking such a big group for food."

The larger bear makes some threatening noises, but they don't pursue.

You find a widening in the path you came across earlier to set up camp as it gets dark (watches? precautions?)

As evening grows Atak sits back, away from the fire. "I can take the first watch, then Bob and Angus, if all are agreeable. The Doctor can fully recuperate. Randy will be a constant second guard, and we would be wise to watch his responses during the night."

Nothing much happens during the night except the sounds of various bugs and toads and whatnot looking for mates.

"Onward!" Atak encourages, suggesting the group continue to look for the landmarks along the path they'd been taking before nightfall.

(OOC: LL only gets HP recovery with a full 24 hours rest.  I could HR something since this keeps coming up, but It'd only be a hp a night.)

Bob is a little show getting moving in the morning, but takes his place.

ooc: Bob is down 9.   healing seems to be the party's shortfall.

"If we need to take a day and heal properly, that woud be more wise than to rush forward in a weakened state," Atak says. "I have Randy and can ride out to scout the way forward, and look for landmarks. My best work will be done at night, not during the bright day," he says, looking to the sky and retreating further into his hood. "But I can ride on the road in any condition."
