He carefully maneuvers the head, exposing twinned holes on either side of the neck lain open by the gash - the jugulars and carotids. "Killer slit both vessels o' the neck asides the throat.

Nervous at the looming sunset, Ellu waves a hand above themself. The familiar crackle of electricity spins into tiny, blinking motes reminiscent of fireflies that spread outward.

8w_gremlin Posted April 12 Author Clone Share Posted April 12 (edited) Ivy and Ellu's heads snap up from the wagon, their eyes locking onto shadowy figures closing in fast. Four Thistlefolk spring forth, "Ambush!" cuts through the tense air. Everyone reacts instantly—scrambling for weapons, conjuring spells. As the figures emerge from the underbrush, the group readies themselves, poised on the edge of a violent clash. The moment to fight has arrived. OOC I was hoping it would have been someone not already involved in searching the wagon. Which was taking Ivy's focus, and not on the surroundings. But as it's a critical success I'll let you take it. Who wants to go first? The Thistlefolk are at Close Range Actions: 0, Fear: 1 Ellu that was a success with fear (GM gains a fear) Ivy had a crit success (Gain Hope and clear a Stress point) Edited April 12 by 8w_gremlin (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8w_gremlin Posted April 12 Author Clone Share Posted April 12 Yhen charges forward, her strike sending a thistle-folk flying back to crash onto the rough ground with a sickening thud. Blood trickles ominously from its nose and ears as it struggles to rise. Above, Ellu soars into the sky, her wings vibrating with a fierce battle rhythm. With determination, she aims her dual staff and unleashes a devastating blast, knocking the beleaguered creature off its feet, its body tumbling helplessly to the ground once more, it does not appear to be moving.

From that vantage point, she chose the closest attacker and sent her magical knife flying. (OOC: Do I need to spend Hope for flying in this situation?) OOC Any action you take has to make the 2d12 roll, one is hope, and one is fear, I think you made a d20 roll only; can you roll 2 d12 and add your bonus, thanks. As for flying, it's on your character sheet, mark a stress Stress When an effect requires you to mark a Stress Point, do so on your character sheet. Whenever you mark your last Stress, you become Vulnerable until you either clear at least 1 Stress or clear the Vulnerable condition through other means (such as a spell, ability, or GM fiat). If you’re ever forced to mark a Stress Point but your slots are already full, you must instead mark a Hit Point. Vulnerable While you are Vulnerable, all rolls targeting you have Advantage. If you’re already Vulnerable, you ignore effects that would make you vulnerable again. Advantage Advantage represents an opportunity, through either magical or mundane means, that you seize upon to increase your chances of success. When you roll with advantage, you roll an extra d12 Hope die and pick whichever Hope die result you prefer.

Yet, as you battled the thistle-folk assaulting your comrades, you failed to notice the last one slithering silently toward your unguarded carriage.
