CH. 04 - Written in Blood

[Daos]

With their keen elven vision, Vulpi is able to find the trail and begins leading the others.  They move through the crops until they come to a clearing.  A farmer, an older man, seems to have tripped in a gopher hole and now lays on the ground, dazed and only partially conscious.  Three large coyotes, each the size of a horse, are slowly converging toward him, licking their chops in anticipation.

[Bishgada]

"Hey! Creatures!" Chispa shouts and makes noise clinging the pebble she readied to shoot on her armor trying to distract the predators from the farmer.

=========================================
(OOC: What are the distances to the coyotes and the farmer? And do any of them (coyotes and farmer) have red eyes ?)

[HorizonsDream]

Ha Yun, despite being surprised upon seeing coyotes the size of horses, casts viscous mockery to try to get their attention away from the farmers.

The farmer is about 60 feet away, with the three coyotes about 30 feet away, between him and the party.  At Chispa's shout, the three coyotes turn to face the party.  There is no red in their eyes, but they do snarl and growl at their intrusion.  Zencho and Vulpi attempt to run to the farmer, but the coyotes block their way, and Seeboe's loud noise seems to agitate them further.  They move in to attack.

Chispa gives a small prayer to help her friends in the combat, then readies her hammer and charges.

(OOC: 
Hi, why does Vulpi has the blessing of the forge and not Ha-Yun?
Chispa seems to be the group tank, so she charges instead of slinging.

Chispa casts bless on Ha-Yun, Vulpi and herself. (one can add 1d4 for attack roll and saving throw) )

Zencho doesnt stop his run: He takes a sip from his gourd and wave his quarterstaff as he moves groggily.
He first spin the quarterstaff at the  coyote's muzzle, then spin and add a kick, flip up giving another kick, move the quarterstaff to a single hand and add a punch- and then bounce around the coyote finishing the turn behind him facing him

Seeboe is the first to act, calling upon nature's power to aid him.  Vines begin sprouting out around the coyotes, entangling two of them and leaving the area around difficult to traverse.  Ha-Yun attempts to distract the one that escaped the vines with a biting insult, but her clever wordplay was lost on the coyote's philistine tastes.

While Chispa calls upon her deity's blessing, one of the two entangled coyotes breaks free of the vines.  However, all three remain where they are, letting the party come to them.  The only one to approach is Zencho, who charges forward alone and suffers a nasty bite attack in the process.  The monk counters with a smack of his staff and a kick across the snout and then misses his final two attacks.  He attempts to bounce around the coyote, but the entire area is so thorny and filled with vines and bristles, he only manages to come up around its side.

Finally, Vulpi looses an arrow at one coyote, drawing some blood from a glancing blow.

While all of this chaos is ensuing, Lady Dre and Proclaimer Ward slowly start making their way around the perimeter of the clearing, inching toward the farmer while the coyotes are distracted with the party.

Chispa, notes Lady Dre path and move opposed to trying to have the coyotes backs toward the rescue attempt. She charges at the coyote who just broke free with a strong war-cry and waving of her stylish warhammer, hoping to prevent it from joining the other attacking Zencho.

Seeboe manipulates one of the vines in the area to whip at the third coyote, but misses.  He also calls upon the fey energy within to heal Zencho a bit.  Ha-Yun, meanwhile, sings a disturbing tune that assaults the third coyote with dark whispers, causing it to turn and flee.  Looking over its shoulder, it seems to decide that was enough and limps off into the crop fields, apparently deciding to find easier prey elsewhere.

While the second coyote remains entangled, the first one attacks Zencho.  But the monk drunkenly avoids the bite while swaying and staggering about.  Zencho counters, but misses both times.  Vulpi, however, manages to shoot the coyote in the left flank, distracting it considerably.

Chispa charges forward, but her short legs and heavy pack keep her from reaching the coyotes in time to attack.

Finally, Lady Dre and Proclaimer Ward continue sneaking around the perimeter of the clearing, and are about half-way there to the farmer now.
