      [Recap]

        Post from Kiet: [Re: Actions]
          Kiet will repeat with the other javelin, if time and
          targets allow.  To sword and shield once past that.  If my
          horses are attacked, then use rings.
        GM: Ack.

        From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
          I feel stupid.  We had several phases to head into cover
          and all we did was stay there in the open road.  I knew how
          fast they were but messed up TURNS vs PHASES.
          Duh.
        GM: Ack. It was 6 phases so only 1.5 turns.  But the dwarves
            left out that there was no cover.  Again if I had just
            posted them getting close it would've been 4 updates or
            2 weeks of nothing but them closer. So sped things up
            till they got to longbow range.

        From Kiet: [Re: actions]
          Scott,

          You are correct on going to tulwar and shield after final
          javelin. After that, if unengaged by any hippos, help out new
          party members first, then others.  Also correct on 'other'
          actions.
        GM: Ack.

      [New Stuff]

          [Western Marentia - Hills]
          [Novehas 20th, 1634TH]

          [Time: 9:03:18 am]
          [Phase 6]

            As the hippogriffs close within seconds of attack the
          group tenses up.

            Corona circles the party but does not attack yet as it
          would be bad to attack the large group alone.

            Fremea fires a regular arrow at one of the Hippogriffs and
          hits #9 in the left upper wing doing 4 points to it.

            Kiet taps the jewel on the last javelin and aims at one of
          the creatures diving.  The javelin flies so swift and accurate
          it pieces the creature's right shoulder and exits through
          the back.  Doing 27 points of damage as it kills the beast
          instantly even before the spell takes effect.  Kiet is a bit
          surprised at the force of the blow and watches as the creature
          falls some 80 feet down the road.  He smiles and then reaches
          for his tulwar.

            At the same time Pyan fires his last arrow before he will
          likely have to fight melee.  He hits the same creature #9
          that Fremea just hit.  The arrow hits in the lower left
          abdomen doing 8 more points.

            Arawn aims his bow and fires hitting #4 for 6 points.

            Z'leyra fires her sling but the bullet misses a creature.

            The remaining hippogriffs dive and select targets.

            Hippogriff #5 turns and dives toward Corona but at the last
          second Corona weaves and avoids the strike.

            Hippogriff #9 who is already wounded dives toward Fremea
          and grabs at her doing 3 points of damage past her armor
          on her left leg.  Fremea tried to duck but was just too
          slow by a few inches.

            Wounded #11 dives toward Kell.  The creature grabs for the
          trader and gets his left arm doing 5 points but releases
          as his weight is just a bit too much.

            Hippogriff #2 and #4 dive toward Red Shirt.  Maybe that
          red is a huge target.  At the last second Red Shirt dives
          and rolls avoiding the first creature.  But #4 claws at
          the man's right leg as he rolls away doing 5 points of damage
          shredding his leg.

            Hippogriff #8 dives toward the other cousin Reddof and the
          man is too slow.  The man ducks but the talon claws his
          neck doing 5 points of damage.

            Creature #10 who is still a bit dazed and #12 dive toward
          the one horse closest which is Kiet's pack horse.  They both
          reach out with talons trying to grab the horse.  A second
          later they struggle and flap wings vigorously but fail to
          do the initial uplift.  The horse panics and forces the creatures
          to land on the ground from the failure.

            Unali had a half second warning of the creature attacking
          Kiet's horse thanks to her magical dagger.  She uses her
          strong legs and forces the horse around and charges the beast
          on the ground.  Coming close she stabs both daggers at #10
          doing 15 and 17 points each.  The magical dagger pierces the
          creature's neck doing 15 points.  The other normal dagger
          stabs the creature's upper rear back doing 17 more points
          both kill the beast.

            Fremea places her bow on her back and pulls her dagger ready
          to fight since creatures are too close to the party now
          for arrows.

            Kell thrusts his spear at the one who attacked him but
          the beast is too far away now.

            Red Shirt who had to drop to the ground and avoid the attack
          stands and slashes the air in case the creature is still
          around.

            Reddof swings his sword at his beast but it is too far away.

            The dancer watches nearby too far to attack this time but
          is worried.  She is so small the beast could carry her away.

            Kiet growls at his mount being attacked and reaches for his
          tulwar and shield.




          [Time: 9:03:21 am]
          [Phase 7]

            Pyan can't fire toward Kiet as it might hit him so he
          turns to find Hippogriff #11 which just attacked Kell
          flee away.  He reloads and fires.  The arrow pierces the
          right wing doing 4 more points.

            At that same time Z'leyra and Arawn fire on #11 as well.
          Arawn fires and hits #11 in the left shoulder doing the
          final damage to kill the beast.  Z'leyra's sling bullet also
          hits but the beast is already dead.

            With tulwar in hand, Kiet raises a hand and activates his
          pinky ring pointing at the creature trying to take his
          riding horse for a nice night of breeding.  The beast
          howls as the smokeless flame engulfs him doing 21 points
          of damage.

            Half of the beasts are down and the 6 take to the air
          including the one on the ground just attacked by Kiet's
          ring.  They select new targets as they rise and dive.

            Hippogriff #5 turns toward and dives toward Arawn.  He
          tries to claw the Druid but misses.

            Creature #9 dives at Kell and claws but his armor
          helps to protect him.

            Beast #2 dives toward Unali enraged by the loss of allies
          it screeches and claws.  But Unali's magical dagger gives
          her a half second warning and she raises her normal dagger
          to deflect the beast's talon just in time.

            Hippogriff #10 dives toward Zabyra. The warhorse sees
          Arawn just attacked and by instinct moves 3 feet away
          quickly to retreat.  This causes the creature to miss her
          by inches but does grab her turban and flies away.

            Creature #8 dives for Red Shirt again but the man dodges
          and the creature misses but the move forces the creature
          to get closer to the ground.

            Still enraged and burning hippogriff #12 dives for
          Red Shirt's horse but in the pain of the fire he misses
          the wild attack.

            Z'leyra places her sling back on her belt and draws her
          sword.  She tries to chase after the beast that attacked
          Zabyra but doesn't get there in time as it flies away.

            Unali urges her horse toward the one attacking Red Shirt's
          horse.  She stands in the saddle and swings wildly her
          daggers hoping it can hit at least a wing tip.  In fact
          the magical dagger does hit and finishes the burning beast
          as it dives to the ground dead.

            Corona dives and fires on the beast fleeing from Zabyra
          but misses his fire dart eyes.

            Kell charges and thrusts at one beast but the spear just
          misses the creature.

            Red Shirt and Reddof both as one charge #8 which just attacked
          Red Shirt.  They leap at the low flying beast trying to
          get back to the air.  Red Shirt slashes doing 12 points to the
          beast's lower right abdomen.  Reddof slashes up and hits
          the beast in the neck doing 5 more points.

            Kiet charges to help Red Shirt and his cousin.  He swings
          his tulwar but misses as the beast rises to the air.

          Next Update....Friday..

          GM: Ok.  That was a fun update of sorts.  Lots of blood
              spilt.  But I will do 2 more phases for Friday.  As
              you can see unless they land it will be hard to fight
              them unless you get close enough in their dive-up
              sequence as they are rising back up.  But 5 are still
              left (3 are hurt bad with the other 2 mildly hurt).
              I will start this update Thursday afternoon NOON EST.
              So posts after that I may miss.  There are now 16 targets
              on map for Hippos to select so a D16.  So somewhat good
              odds won't be selected.

          GM: Arawn - I figure using sword now since they are doing
                dive bombing runs and could be hard to fire on nearby
                allies.  IF not correct me.  BTW I got your post too
                late.  As I said I'd be working on this one at noon
                today and your emails came in too late.  I could've
                added it but it would've delay me till Tuesday.  So
                I will try to do it for Friday.  Sorry.

              Fremea - Will assume using dagger now and chasing targets.

              Kiet - I didn't pick your horse!  It was a D14 random
                target.  Once one selected your horse another had to
                help lift it away.  So was just random.  Lucky for
                you they failed or they would've lifted it away.
                But you did very well this update. :)

              Zabyra - The horse helped you.  If it had been a non
                 war horse it might've ended worse.  :<

              Pyan - I will assume you switch to either Sling or Spear
                 since they are now over/among allies.  Let me know
                 otherwise.

              Z'leyra - I assume sword still but it will be a matter
                of chasing them down if in range.

    A map without hexes for reading ease.  Again if you can't read
    it then see it on website as its not messed up there.
