Adventures in Saint-Trotez - On Set (Episodes 1 - 3)

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong..." Sparks says quoting something he heard long ago "So yea they probably have backup or have reformed and now want revenge."

The creature somewhat grumbles a reply, although you're not sure if he was saying yes or no. In addition, after you leave the cave discussing how things may or may not be going horribly wrong, you hear barking and howling in the distance...

(I'll allow this for now, but after this battle I'm heading straight to the Ask a DM Thread and get this whole deal with skill checks in combat sorted out...)

(Storm Blade, you're up. Also, roll Perception to see if you can see through Aces High's ruse...)

(I'll just do the perception for now, I need to know the results before I make my turn)

(Nope, you think Aces High has fallen once again. You do, however, hear some bushes rustling nearby, but you don't know what is causing it...)

"More timberwolves... If they are at the lake then the others are in trouble. So we better pick up the pace and I'll go on ahead."

roll:

Necrar runs after Sparks, just a little slower.

Spoiler:

You both arrive to see Storm Blade conjure his shield in a large brawl against quite a number of timberwolves, although in your haste it seems that the creatures and Zippy have lagged behind. Aces High seems like he has been defeated, and Splash Control has seen better days (although he was burning to death only so long ago, so that's pretty easy to say)...

(You both may take a turn now. I rolled initiative for both of you (before realising I hadn't saved the timberwolf initiative rolls, which is why your making your turns now), but I rolled the same result, so whoever posts first goes first...)

"Sorry we were gone so long, we had a few minor problems."Necrar says, stepping up next to Aces unconscious body "But looks like you guys had some bigger problems." Necrar puts a hoof on Aces and covers him in shadow, which dissapates when the hoof is removed.

combat data:

Sparks leaps into the fight utterly disregarding the concept of safety. "It looks like we arrived just in time."

combat:

Two timberwolves keep up their attack on Storm Blade...

(Storm Blade takes 11 damage)

Splash Control, happy to see the others return, let out another rallying cry...

(Everyone may flip a coin. If heads, you get a pip...)

However, he is silenced by two further attacks, which knocks the unicorn out...

(Splash Control takes 11 damage)
(Splash Control is unconscious)

The remaining four timberwolves decide to change targets and head towards to latest entries to the battle...

(Necrar takes 7 damage)
(Sparks takes 8 damage)

Initiative Order:
Timberwolves A, B
Splash Control (unconscious)
Timberwolves C, D, E, F, G, H (all bloodied)
Aces High - Current Turn
Timberwolf I (dead)
Storm Blade
Necrar
Sparks

A loud beeping noise came from Aces High's direction.

As the majority of those battling swiveled their heads to look, Aces pounded on his fake arm until it stopped making noise. Then he turned to the gaze of half a dozen timberwolves. "Ah, shoo'."

Spoiler:

"You shouldn't have come for a second round." In an instant Sparks dashes over to the opposite side of the timberwolf pack cutting any foe in his way.

You leave behind a trail of logs and carved wood in your wake. It's a impressive display...

(Timberwolf B is bloodied)
(Timberwolves C, D, E, F, G, and H are all dead)

"You're not done yet Splash," Necrar says, his eyes completely red, no pupils. "Nor you, Aces."
Shadows stream from Necrar to the two he named. The shadows around Aces cover him and enter his metal leg, disappearing. The shadows around Splash cover him, but don't disappear, making a thin layer of armor. As the shadows stop moving, his eyes return to normal.

Spoiler:

(May I ask who you are using the special on?)

(( Sorry. That would be Splash. ))

Splash Control quickly gets back onto his hooves, with a spring in his step and once again motivated...

(Splash Control is up and no longer bloodied...)

(Just waiting on Fury now. Unless he posted something in the OOC topic which I have missed and/or forgotten saying he wouldn't be here for a while, I'm giving him until the end of Friday to post. If he doesn't, I'll make his turn for him...)

Fury of the Tempest wrote:(11 damage, even taking into account the resist?

Stupid alerts failed)

(Oops, sorry. Storm Blade took 5 Damage...)

The timberwolf is barely standing...

(Also, because I'm tired of forgetting your damage penalty, let's just forget about it. Even if I did apply it, what happens next would be the same...)

The timberwolf tries to strike you down in retaliation, but it is interrupted as an arrow soars through the air and knocks the beast down into pieces. From the bush you see creatures that remind you of the newly crowned Princess Sparkle's pet, although less cute and wearing a mix match of dirty rags and oversized foliage. Another arrow and a swing of a club knocks a few branches out of the last remaining timberwolf...

The leader, from the back, is not amused with the turn of the battle. He lets out a mighty bark, which stops the last fighting timberwolf from attacking. After a brief pause, the timberwolf willingly falls to pieces, and all the scattered sticks, branches and logs from all the wolves begin to roll and float towards the leader, who begins to change his form. The more perceptive of you notice the lake react wildly to this, as if it was the sea during a storm. Soon, a enormous timberwolf stands before you, ready to pounce on his prey. As they watch this, the creatures lose any backbone they had, drop their weapons and some mushrooms, and flee to some nearby bush...

"That's big," Splash Control mutters to you all. "That's very big."

Initiative Order:
Splash Control
Aces High, Storm Blade, Sparks, Necrar (you can do your turns in any order to save time)
Giant Timberwolf

The unicorn lets out another rallying cry as he charges the timberwolf, somewhat in fear of the beast...

(Everyone flip a coin. You know the rest. Make your turns when you get a chance, unless you want to wait for someone in order to combo...)

"Tic these-this thing just doesn't know when to stay down." Sparks draws his sword and makes deep stab straight up through the timberwolf's chest.

Aces laughed aloud as the familiar clinking of machinery opened up his panels. "You were tougher before, big guy...all that's going to do is give me a bigger targe'!"

With this, Aces brought up his metal arm, the pipes protruding from the various openings suddenly spinning 180 degrees to face forward, and fired the entirety of his missile salvo directly at the giant timberwolf's legs.

The water rippled and crashed against the shore behind the battle.
