Table Turning · Tue Jun 09, 2015 1:58 am

Joey surges forward with unprecedented speed for his size and flails his stubby arms wildly at the polar bear while gibbering.

(Two fist attacks, 16, 11, first attack hits for 7)

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:02 am #94314

Joey slams a palm into the bear's midsection as he babbles incoherently at the top of his lungs. The polar bear roars in pain.

((Karag))

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:07 am #94315

Karag roars back at the bear as he charges towards it and swings his giant anchor.

(using bonus action to rage, attacking for 14+6 = 20 to hit, 8+4+2 = 14 damage)

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:09 am #94317

Karag slams the side of the anchor into the bear's mouth, sending it pirouetting into the snow. You think you may have seen teeth go flying.

((Marko))

THE MIGHTY GALVATRON · Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:25 am

Marko points a finger at the bear and shouts "MISSILE OF THE MAGICS!" sending a beam of mystic energies at the creature.

(Attacking with Eldritch Blast, 11+7=18 to hit, damage of 3)

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:39 am #94323

The blast singes the bear's coat, ruining any chance of making something nice out of it.

((Bizarre))

Bizarre snaps his fingers towards the beast's ears. ((I'd like to use thaumaturgy to create a deafening thunderclap right next to it's left ear. I don't know what I roll if I should roll anything))

The polar bear sinks its bloody teeth into Karag's bicep, roaring.

Aeden lunges at the beast and attempts to plunge his sword into its now exposed back

((15 + 5 =20, damage is 6+5 =11))

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 3:41 am #94340

((NICE))

The sword sinks deep into the bear's back as a jet of blood spurts out from in between its haunches.

((Table's up again, P.S. I didn't realize that Eldritch Blast just did force damage, I was always told it was lightning/thunder-ish damage. We can retcon it singing the fur if you truly want to))

((YES WE DO. It'll be a feeding frenzy for bear-based products when we're through with this though))

Table Turning · Tue Jun 09, 2015 3:49 am

Joey keeps up with the bear's movements and raises his arms to the air to deliver two more swift blows while babbling madly and slobbering all over himself in anticipation for some actual food.
((12+5=17, 9+5=14, damage being 3+3=6 for the first strike, 2+3=5 for the second strike))

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 3:53 am #94344

Joey's first palm goes crashing down into the top of the bear's skull, sending it to the ground. He then raises a big, flabby leg past his head into the air, bringing it down hard upon the bear's head. The bear's limbs stick out stiff when the foot connects, then go limp.

((450 EXP, everyone. That's a level up.))

THE MIGHTY GALVATRON · Tue Jun 09, 2015 3:57 am

Marko raises his arms in victory, "Bear is kaput! Now is the time of the harvesting, yes!?"

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:13 am #94347

Karag pours cleans his wound with some clean water from his waterskin, nodding appreciatively as he inspects the bite.

"YES. IT FOUGHT WELL. TO WASTE WOULD BE SHAMEFUL."

((survival check to start tearing this thing to pieces?))

Table Turning · Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:15 am

Joey starts licking his lips and quickly devours two days rations in anticipation.

Aeden wrenches his sword from the beast's back and wipes the blood from his blade.

"Well fought everyone. Karag, you seem as though you could field dress the beast"

((Joey ration count: 5 out of 20))

The bear rests at your feet, its coat relatively fine from the beating it just received.

((Survival check granted.))

((8+3 = 11, not going to set any speed records for butchering this thing, might waste some too))

Karag slides a handaxe out from his belt and gets to work splitting it open, gutting it, and more.

Maccus · Post by **Maccus** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:38 am #94360

You manage to make a rough but still usable pelt out of the bear, though some bits of meat were procured in a way making them definitely not worth taking with you. You feel your ancestors stare down at you from the Great Ship of the Sky in a mixture of shame and disappointment. At the very least, you gain a pretty-but-slightly-bloodstained pelt and an extra 4 days of rations' worth of meat to split amongst yourselves.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:44 am #94361

((what are we doing with this pelt? I was hoping to get some kind of headdress/cloak out of it for Bar-BEAR-ian swag but we should share. I'd just as soon give all the BEARGER meat to Joey since he just ate that much food in anticipation to receive this much food))

(( Would one bear pelt even be enough for you? You're like... a giant! But yeah I want a bear cloak too for swaggish reasons. Also giving bearger meat to Joey feels like it would be a waste, man could live off his body fat for the entire winter!))

Once Karag is done butchering the bear, Marko dons the pelt. You must admit, he does look rather snazzy in it. The party also takes inventory of the meat they gathered, ready to move on. The sun is starting to set, and you don't want to be moving through Knoss at night, even if you are near a military outpost. As you finish tying up the meat, you look to the skies. They're clearer now, but the strange creatures flying through them have vanished. Odd.

The march onward is a slow, quiet slog, save for Bizarre freestyling with his strange (some might even say bizarre) innards-instrument. The tunes range anywhere from odd sputtering to ear-maiming high-pitched squealing. He finds it pleasant regardless. Eventually, the sun retreats past the horizon, and the cold black dark of night meets you. Before panic sets in, however, you raise a hand above your brow, thinking you might spot something in the distance.

((Perception))

Marko points at a shape just ahead. A small settlement comprised of makeshift tents and shacks hastily thrown together from pelts and trees. Just outside the village, Karag sees men standing out in the cold with torches, wearing heavy suits of mail and tabards sporting a blue field and a black morningstar as the sigil. King Miller's men.

You think you just found your place to rest for the night as you approach.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 6:09 am #94389

Karag squints at the soldiers. Mainlanders are hard to tell apart. He describes the sigil to the rest of the group.
