Realizing that there is no way she will be able to catch up to Gothika, HooGraw moves to provide Kildrack with backup.

Woodland Chase

Okay, Gothika and Grue A are in a chase now. Talissa is trying to join in, but with her lack of riding skill and the horse's lack of combat training, she's going to have to give up pretty soon here. So, Gothika is on her own for the chase.

I said the grue was running, but the run action requires it to move in a straight line, and there probably aren't many straight-line paths in a dense woodland like this. So realistically, it probably can't go much faster than a standard double-move on its turns (80 feet). But I'm also going to say that the woodland impedes your pursuit, frequently granting the grue cover and also preventing you from flying lower than about 40 feet up. I'm going to say that the relative advantages and disadvantages balance out.

So, instead of trying to accurately simulate this tactical aerial pursuit, I think I'll just try to resolve the chase with opposed Dexterity checks. The winner of each check can choose to either (a) take a +2 bonus on the next opposed Dex check, or (b) make a ranged attack against the other character (using either a weapon or a spell). The grue has no ranged attacks, so it will only be taking the +2 bonus each time.

If you win 3 checks, you've caught up to the grue and it will be forced to try to fight you. If the grue wins 3 checks, it escapes.

So, go ahead and roll a Dex check for this round.

Grue's Dex Check

HooGrawr

HooGrawr closes in towards Kildrak and Grue B

Grues

Grue B seems surprised that its fire spray didn't hurt Kildrak, so it instead attempts to slap him with its flamey fist.

Slam

Kildrak easily wards that attack away.

That fire ward seems to be holding up. Good for him. Let’s finish this before it wears off..

Happy with his slightly elevated position, Ez fires two more arrows at the grue fighting Kildrak. The winged lady was on her own, he wouldn’t be able to catch her.

Kildrak Grimbeard

The Gavstorian seemed to be getting into a battle rhythm. He found himself gliding along the ebb and flow of the fight, attack and defense, holding the line and allowing his other allies to maneuver. Choosing his moment, he retorted against the grue with a swift swing of his warhammer.

Kildrak, being the tanky dwarf he is, is doing a great job at absorbing blows. Not so hot at dishing back out, though. Probably doesn't make sense for him to waste a Warblade maneuver on this guy, though combined with at least one definite hit from Ez, we're doing A-OK!

Fire in the Woods

Ez and Kildrak

((The grue is protected by a permanent, non-magical blur effect, so there's always a 20% miss chance))

Ez shoots a couple of arrows, and one of them seems on-target:

Ez miss on 1

Ez's arrow seems to pass right through the grue's body. The flickering and weaving of it flames make it impossible to tell if the arrow actually hit it or not, but the grue does not seem to have been hurt.

Kildrak miss on 1

Kildrak's hammer swings at the grue, and the grue's wavering, flickering body seems to dance around his hammer. It's really hard to tell if you've hit this thing, because it's not solid; but, Kildrak does feel a little bit of an impact, and the grue does hiss and groan a little in response, so you assume you've done some damage to it.

Gothika's Dex check

[Blue Jay]

((Okay, Gothika wins the opposed Dex check this round. Do you want to take a +2 on the next check, or would you like to make an attack on the grue?))

[paladinred]

I will take the +2, please.

Trying to get a little closer, he lets fly the tried and true spell at the Grue again.

Fire in the Woods

Gregory and HooGrawr

((The layout for your magic missile dice roll is so confusing! I wish they'd make a different format for that.))

Gregory hurls another pair of magic darts at the grue. The missiles strike, and the grue flickers and flashes wildly in response.

HooGrawr's dagger flies towards the grue.

Miss on1

The flame creature flickers, but HooGrawr's dagger still stabs it as if it were solid. The creature begins trembling violently, as a high-pitching whining builds within it, and it bursts into a little wave of heat (which is harmless to Kildrak). HooGrawr's dagger falls to the ground unceremoniously at Kildrak's feat.

The grue has been vanquished! But, the other grue is off somewhere else, and Gothika has rushed to follow it.

Chase through the Woods

Gothika is able to keep pace with the other grue as it streaks through the woods. She flies ahead of it and starts dipping down to cut it off. The grue sees her and screeches to a halt, turning and fleeing in a different direction.

((You win round 1. Let's go ahead and roll rounds 2 and 3. Gothika gets a +2 bonus on the second roll. If you win the second roll, you'll also get a +2 on the 3rd one (unless you want to take an attack instead).))

Gregory

Gregory stops and takes a little breather. Everyone recover and get everything back in order until Gothika comes back. As she is chasing still, be ready for its possible return!

((I don't disagree on that. I'll be playing around with it until I can figure it out.))
