CHAPTER 8: Back to the Gam'A Zone

[Zhym]

Kurot zooms toward the Dreadtooth attackers, stops, and fires his bow.

Bow and arrow: [1d20+1] = 10+1 = 11

Is that the right roll?

[Scythius Equinus]

Frank Rock

Sorry a little slow, it has been awhile... lol... but if i read correctly

Steady Aim, and then firing

[1d20+4] = 8+4 = 12
[1d20+4] = 19+4 = 23

if successfull

[1d12+1] = 3+1 = 4
[1d12+1] = 3+1 = 4

[Zhym]

After his first shot, Kurot zooms ahead until he is in short range of the Dreadtooth and fires twice.

Starting distance: 175 yards.
Kurot runs forward 100 yards.
Dreadtooth move 25 yards.
End distance: 50 yards.

Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 11+1 = 12 (+2 if short range)
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 20+1 = 21 (+2 if short range)

After that, Kurot should be able to use his free move to retreat by 25 yards, staying ahead of the Dreadtooth, and still get three shots each round, right? If so, and if my math in the OOC post is right, I'll post a whole bunch of shots here for the next several rounds.

Arrow damage: [1d6] = 5 Crit: [1d3] = 3

Round 3:
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 19+1 = 20 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 4
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 7+1 = 8 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 6
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 5+1 = 6 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 6

Round 4:
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 8+1 = 9 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 3
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 12+1 = 13 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 1
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 13+1 = 14 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 6

Round 5:
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 15+1 = 16 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 2
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 10+1 = 11 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 3
Bow and arrow (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 2+1 = 3 (+2 if short range) [1d6] = 5

Dreadtooth Attack, Day 95

Combat, Rounds 1-5

Frank and Blixx take up positions and fire multiple times into the charging line of Dreadtooth. Frank’s first hit takes out a large chunk of shoulder meat, and the beast howls in pain. He hits one additional time producing a pink mist that dissipates into the trailing dust cloud. Blixx has some difficulty firing his rifle due to the bright sun, but is able to wound his target.

Kurot zips forward to close the distance and lets loose multiple arrow barrages into the Pigmonn battle beasts. The android’s hyper speed allows him to keep ahead of the Dreadtooth while able to engage them at short range. He sticks one of the animals with five arrows, and the beast begins to waver in its approach.

After three rounds of fire, Belial discharges a bolt from his crossbow at the attackers but shoots wide into a dust cloud.

Three of the brutish swine are wounded. The other three continue at full strength.

All others watch, wait and prepare for the Dreadtooth to enter range for their weapons.

...

[shaidar]

As the vile pigmonn come into range, Silvestri lets fly with his arrows (targeting already injured enemies where possible).

[Zhym]

Ffft, ffft, ffft...whirr
Ffft, ffft, ffft...whirr
Ffft, ffft, ffft...whirr

Kurot keeps firing and retreating. Five arrows in one beast, and it's still coming. He hopes his friends have something bigger than arrows to hit the Dreadtooth with, or things are going to get ugly.

12 shots, 4 hits, 13 damage. Kurot's fast, but he isn't accurate.

[Urson]

Belial

Like, Banzai, dudes!

Belial slings his crossbow and readies his assegai, then begins flying at top speed toward the Dreadtooth.

His intention is to dive on one of the beasts and slam his spear into it at top speed.

[Scythius Equinus]

Frank Rock

Nerves steady yet a tad miffed at not killing his target... he fires again

Round 5 Takes Aim

Pigman Rifle [1d20+3] = 9+3 = 12 12-2=10 round(6)

Pigman Rifle [1d20+3] = 1+3 = 4 4-2=2 round(7)

Dreadtooth Attack, Day 95

Combat, Rounds 5-9

Kurot sticks his target with three additional arrows and the mutant swine bleats its death throes before toppling over on its side - DEAD! He selects a new target and strikes it with an arrow.

Frank’s aim is steady and he blasts his dreadtooth, removing a chunk of skull and it flops over and skids to a halt – DEAD! He selects a new target and misses three times before blasting a chunk of its spine up and away from the charging beast! The dreadtooth wobbles in its step and begins to slow its pace. OOC: The dreadtooth’s AC has been reduced by 4. His pigmonn rifle’s magazine is empty and Frank must spend an action reloading.

Blixx tries to avoid the glare of the sun, and succeeds in hitting the battle beast with a slight nick to a leg. He shoots three more times before slinging his rifle and drawing his mace to prepare for melee!

Belial slings his crossbow and flaps his wings hard and steady, closing the distance between the battle line and positioning his Assengai for a charging attack!
OOC: Urson make a melee attack at +2. A roll of 1-3 will result in a fumble

[quozl]

Long range for the auto blaster is only a d12 but since I don't have to worry about ammo, why not?

[1d12] = 8+2=10

How many of the dreadtooths are still coming for us?

[shaidar]

Silvestri once again tries with his bow, preferring wounded targets where possible (the one Frank hit if possible):

Belial

After he makes his attack run, Belial sees a new option. He flies in and _lands_ on the back of the Dreadtooth he just speared, gripping with feet and one hand to stay aboard. (Dex 17). attribute check [1d20] = 17


He crouches, pretty sure the pigmonn won't try to shoot him, and stabs/slashes the monster he's riding.

Dreadtooth Attack, Day 95

Combat, Round 9 addendum…

Bruce Lee Mk VII produces his wrist rocket and fires two metal bullets at the dreadtooth with wounded spine. Both projectiles impact and chip away at the beast’s vitality.
Belial swoops down and strikes the dreadtooth targeted by Blixx. The assengai opens a brutal wound, and the dreadtooth is severely wounded.
In response to the spear’s jab, the Dreadtooth twists and lashes out at the flying baboon; Its powerful jaws snap into Belial and draw blood. (8 dmg.)

OOC: Belial’s Agility modifier is +1, so your attribute check is 18. This registers as above audacious but below a hero’s feat for difficulty. You are successful in the Agility check and Belial performs the stated action.
FYI, Belial’s melee modifier is +3, not +1. His melee damage modifier is +2, not +1. I adjusted accordingly.

Combat Details

Round 9 addendum

• BruceLee fires X2 (LR, hit at 19, hit at 11, 2+2=4 dmg.)
  Belial charging melee attack (Hit at 20+3=23, 9 dmg.)

Belial's target = [1d4] = 1
Dreadtooth = [1d20+5] = 16+5 = 21 atk., [3d6] = 8 dmg.

Combat, Rounds 10-12

Silvestri lets loose three arrows at the dreadtooth with wounded spine, two stick into its hide and add to the bleeding wounds.
Bruce unleashes volley of bullets into the dreadtooth, and 5 puncture wounds release more blood. The beast is severely wounded.
He briefly fumbles with the slingshot, but quickly recovers.
Kurot sticks 4 arrows into a dreadtooth, adding to its wounds. The arrow barrage is taking its toll.
The android fumbles with his long bow, but it does not affect his aim and offensive efforts.
Blixx holds steady with his heavy wrench, waiting for the dreadtooth charge.
Belial performs a feat of agility, and lands on the back of the wounded battle beast. The mutant baboon clings on with his claws and stabs into its upper ribs. A blast of dark red blood spurts into the air, as the spear cuts into the dreadtooth’s heart causing it to topple forward and skid to a halt – DEAD!
Frank quickly reloads his Pigmonn Kaliber 7a rifle and then returns to sending more lead down range. He selects a fresh target that hasn’t been wounded and earns the name Sgt. Rock, hitting the beast with all five rounds MORTALLY WOUNDING the dreadtooth. It stops at 75 yards away and stands still before wandering side to side bleeding profusely and then enveloped by its dust cloud which continues to billow forward.
Denslow spawns deadly fruit and waits for the targets to enter range.
