[Recap]
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
When he hears Chion and Jordi talking, he thinks the web
spell is a good plan and turns to Chion and nods in agreement.
He will back up Tef'wo slightly, so that he is nearer to the
tied up horses. He will more or less stick to his previously
stated battle plan, firing his bow at the hippogriffs while
they're in the air, attacking with the spear when they get
close.
GM: Will consider movement part of previous few phases. Since
didn't mention a exact hex will place you somewhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
Sepes 42, in the 163rd Year [TH]
Location: River Sch (E) Riverbank, Zen'da Plains, 270 Miles
North of Asichi City, Heading East from River, around 1pm
[Turn 16: Phase 3]
[Mana Allocation]
[Strie'bog allocates more mana to finish his Fire spell.]
[Caladan allocates more mana for a spell]
[Z'leyra allocates mana for a spell]
[Missile Fire]
[Ben'dar stands in the saddle. He can't see past
the mist around Jordi but only sees one good target
that of #3. He aims and fires...but misses.]
[Strie'bog aims but doesn't have a good shot through
the mist as well.]
[Balrog aims at the only target he clearly sees #6
and fires...the projectile however passes within
inches of the creature but misses.]
[Unali fires her sling at #3 and hits! doing 6 points
of damage with her magical sling.]
[Jordi aims his longbow at #3 and fires. he hits for
6 points. The hippogriff falls to the ground.]
[Magic Effect]
[Strie'bog finishes his spell and hopes it worked.]
[Melee & Movement]
[The hippogriffs are the fastest on the battlefield.
They move first. This is the rules for how I handle
the flights. Roll D5. 1-Go left, 2-go right (north)
3-go straight (west) 4-go high for a dive 5-stay
back in current area. So its all random not a pack
style movement like wolves might do.
#8 in this case stays back to investigate the mist
around jordi. #10 also stays behind and looks over
the mysterious mist around jordi]
[Kasha tempted to race out his horse toward a creature
stays behind to ensure safety of the horses.]
[Eagle flies higher when he sees 2 of the creatures
fly high into the sky but seemingly not toward him.]
[Trembyl rides forward in hopes to let his illusion
move a bit further out.]
[Farseeker rides forward with his lance toward a
creature.]
[Everyone else stays in place]
[Turn 16: Phase 4]
[Mana Allocation]
[Caladan and Z'leyra finish allocating mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Farseeker near #4 throws his Throwing Axe at it
since hes only 30 feet away. The axe flies
through the face with the strength of both
arms and hits oing 5 points of damage to it. The
axe then falls down to the ground.]
[Having reloaded Xian and Trembyl aim their Arbalests
and fire.
Trembyl fires at #7 and does a massive hit right in
the upper shoulder of the creature doing an amazing
25 points of damage! The creature slams to the
ground surely dead.
Xian firest at #2 (his only shot) trying to flank
to the north of the party. He misses however.]
[Balrog fires on #2 as well but misses. Unali
fires on #6 but misses barely.]
[Jordi fires at #10 which is in front of him hovering
just about 20 feet away. he hits but only does 3
points of damage.]
[Ben'dar fires his bow but misses.]
[Magic Effect]
[Modification of rules for the Fire Arrow Spell]
[Strie'bog fires at #5 and hits doing a severe hit
as the arrow impacts a spark of fire bursts and
the arrow does 11 and the fire damage does 6 for
a total of 17 points! Stunned but hes still alive.]
[Z'leyra speaks a few words and looks at #4 to try
to paralsyze the creature but the spell fails.]
[Melee & Movement]
[Hippogriffs move...
#1 - Continues to take a high flight. He is now
up 170 feet in the air and looking down at the
horses.
#2 - Flies to the flank of the party. He seems to
be considering what to attack.
#4 - Flies straight for Z'lerya when it turns. But
instead of attacking Z'leyra it flies right over
making a wake of air over Z'leyra's head only
inches. It then flies right at Caladan and tries
to claw him but misses in its strike. It then
takes to the air but only 10 feet to the side of
Caladan's horse and 10 feet above the horse. So
hes roughly 15 or so feet off ground.
#5 - He flies straight to the south-west and flies
past #1. The creature sees Kasha and strikes
him with his claws. Both claws strike and rip the
right arm of Kasha doing 6 points of damage to his
arm. This takes Kasha by surprise. The creature
almost knocks the sling out of his hand but KAsha
is stronger and holds on. The attack almost blows
kasha off the horse but he is able to maintain his
balance. The hippogriff takea a few feet into the
air above kasha as it ends its movement.
#6 - Flies north-west.
#8 - Flies through the concealing mist right over
Jordi but doesn't see him. Confused it exits
the other side.
#10 - Confused by the mist #10 flies high above
and over the mist then flies westward. Now
about 60 feet off the ground.]
[Farseeker grabs his lance and turns his horse
around and charges full speed at #5 near Kasha.
Farseeker raises up in the saddle to get height
and with both hands stabs the creature in teh
rear doing 9 points. The creature is killed having
been previously wounded.]
GM: Oh dear. Three people nearby. 7 possible directions.
6 Hex sides plus 7 on a D7 is straight down. Rolled
a 6 which is straight for Z'leyra!
[Based on teh physics and angle. The bottom of the creature
hits Z'leyra's head. Its like a 300 pound person hitting
another person. Luckilly she called she had shield
in hand.to help deflect the claws and legs. If she
hadn't had that could've been worse. She also has another
item that helps plus a Dragon Helmet from the dragon hide
to absorb the damage. It none of this existed she'd had
taken at least 3 points of damage from teh hit. But as
it is the creature continues. It knocks Z'leyra dizzy
and shocks her slightly. Amazingly she keeps her balance
on the horse. The creature flies over her and lands
just 2 feet behind Z'leyra's horse...]
[Farseeker is shocked when he sees this and grits his
teeth...]
[Balrog with one hand clips his sling on his belt nad
unsheaths his short sword with the other. He charges
the 20 feet toward #6 and hits for 4 points of damage.]
[Caladan having put his bow away last phase tries to
stand in the saddle and swing at #4 which just
attacked him but is just beyond reach.]
[Z'leyra is too dazed to take any actions. Eyes need
to clear first.]
[Wolf growls near Strie'bog at the creatures.]
[The dogs bark at the creatures but stay near thig.]
[Jordi turns his horse around when he notices the
creatures are now behind him.]
[Kaska looks around for a target but finds none he
could reach.]
[Xian places his arbalest on his back and grabs his
warstaff.]

Comments:
1. Alex Aka Z'leyra is on vacation over seas. He will be back
in 3 weeks 9/5 or so. So I'll be running her character
for some time.
2. Six (6) of the 10 hippogriffs are flying. 4 are on the
ground likely dead. Of the 6 #1 and #2 don't have injuries
(ie arrows or wounds in them). Four are injured.
3. Chion since it was unclear when to use staff didn't. Same
for where you move. In which 2 phases do you wish to use
it next update? I believe all are in range now. BUT keep
this in mind. At least 3 are in danger of falling on
others
#4 - Could fall on Caladan (good chance)
Maybe Ben'dar, Z'leyra, Kasha (slight chance)
#6 - Could fall on Balrog (good chance)
#1 - is 170 feet in the air so out of range of your staff
All in range of staff - #2, #4, #6
Not in range - #1, #8, #10
4. For archers if you wish to melee attacks let me know. If
you fire archery weapons you won't get to do melee.
5. Random actions for creatures seem to indicate they wanted
to attack the party rather than horses :<
6. For falling creatures theres a 1 in 7 chance they could
hit a person if a person is nearby. 1 for each hex side
and 7 for straight down on a D7 (computer rolled).
Think that covers everything...I hope.
Remember if map screws up in email (likely) consult website for
good map.
