ah. woops.

[Natrivv]

"Umm the reason they even wanted stuff in the first place was because you threatened the Flabebe isn't it?"

Callum stalls watching everyone moves to see if it really is a dissolving into a hopeless fight.
"Peace is a fairy tale I guess..." leaping into action before the next round of fighting Callum lands a very solid strike against the one who asked for the dusk stone, the fat one.
callum uses pound [1d20] = 18 [2d6+24] = 6+24 = 30

[Arch Lich Burns]

Can you roll what attack you are doing?

[Dlover]

"Flabebe? I believe it was a ralts. And no, that was not the cause. The two brought it up, but they intended to charge all of us regardless."

Was that post actually complete? It looks like it was cut off.

[Runsaround]

"They're basically a gang."

[Natrivv]

yeah got distracted so the post left out both things asked for ^^;

[Arch Lich Burns]

The very robust murkrow scowls at Vince, not being aggressive quite yet as he turns to the tiny murkrow.

"Swiftwing, go and find a Radio. Tell them what occured, tell them of these two and how they are enemies of the Krows. Make sure that they spread the word to Redtail."

"Yes sir!"
Swiftwing takes off into the sky, far away from them.


Meanwhile the other one continues to flip out, and suddenly runs off when threatened. "He's going to burn all of us! Including our families! Run! Run!!"


The obese murkrow sighs and looks at Vince. "You did not have to bring a dusk stone. It could have been anything with additional effects. We use those for sales. But since you threatened my flock, insulted us, and attacked us then I suppose you are not worthy of living."

Syana, taking this as a threat stings at the fat crow and barely hits!

The fat murkrow uses his wing to hit at Vince again, the murkrow barely hits, hitting for 33 (41) damage! Vince is left barely standing on 1 hp as he gains a injury!

Vince, after getting struck is able to retaliate and burns the murkrow

Callum, seeing his friend hurt, punches the crow.

Callum 18
TIny Crow 15 fleeing?
Vince 14 1/59
Small Crow 13 (injured) fleeing
Syana 11
Fat crow 7 very badly injured

[Dlover]

Vince shrugs, "Well, well. I was generous, and look where that got me. I should have shown no mercy and torn out your throat immediately. My family would be ashamed, showing mercy to criminals, even if you are just goons. Well, I shall still claim the commander of the local sect." Spitting another ember at the fat bird, Vince leaves the possibility of the enemy maintaining consciousness to his companions, speaking quickly on the off chance the bird stays standing, given the likelihood it would attack him again, "There you have it, Syana, you didn't need to fear the birds. Unfortunately, I do not believe I will be able to provide you the same protection in future. In this condition I will be more a burden than an aid, and for a day or two, I expect. You will have better chances of success if I do not accompany you. With that in mind, I will be forced to return to Sanctuary." If the bird faints, Vince steps over to him and sets to tearing out his throat and dragging the corpse back toward Sanctuary, "The tiny one will get word to their leader, there is no hope of preventing that. Stay on guard. Even a criminal organisation filled with weaklings and cowards like most of these can be dangerous if they attack en mass. Speed and luck be with the two of you."

Ember: AC=11, Damage=26

[Runsaround]

"You stupid bloody bird! Now look what you've started, with your idiotic racket."

Syana stings the fat bird again.

AC=9 Damage: 27

If the fat bird falls:

"He might be worth something alive... so maybe don't kill him?"

[Natrivv]

"I'd hate to see you being stingy then. Sorry about this" Callum punches the same bird. Callum uses pound [1d20] = 17 [2d6+24] = 9+24 = 33 If they're already ko, then he'll target a different target.

[Dlover]

"He might be worth something alive... so maybe don't kill him?"
".... By rights I should not have allowed those who fled to do so. I failed to follow that tenet because I believed a fight with all of them would be too dangerous. But to let one live when there is no danger to it... He is worth little alive that I can think of. If I take him to Sanctuary alive he will simply be allowed to recover and released, as he has broken none of their rules, and his survival would prove my threats to be empty, others who hear of it would no longer be intimidated by my words. You have seen the benefits gained by having others believe I will kill them... And unless you wish to drag him with you all the way to the wastes, he is of no use to you alive or dead.

If you are not comfortable with witnessing death, I can take him away alive. I am a carnivore, though, if we eventually reconvene you will need to be prepared for me to kill others for survival."

[Arch Lich Burns]

Callum punches the fat bird, knocking him out. Vince decided to make sure he is knocked out and sends a flame at him. Syana, not wanting to kill him, decides not to sting the fallen bird just yet (tell me if you wanted to)

The other two birds are now far away, the one that was on fire seems to be flying towards the sanctuary while the other is flying upwards and to the north.

Everybody gets 20 exp.

[Dlover]

Vince gets bumped up to level 12, gaining Helping Hand and a point in HP.

"The two of you had best get moving for the wastes, if you want to escape Mewtwo. Speed be with you." Grabbing the unconscious murkrow by the neck, not taking particular care to be gentle or rough, Vince heads for Sanctuary.

[Runsaround]

Syana's still rocking the level 11.

"Good luck to you too, Vince. Take care of yourself. .... Wait which way do we go?"

[Arch Lich Burns]

Just a heads up, there is still a light coloured cat following Syana around.

[Dlover]

Vince cocks his head for a moment, spitting out the bird, "I believe Joe said the corruption was to the north. Between the mountains and the city." Having said his word, he (finally) leaves for Sanctuary with his capture.

[Runsaround]

"Oh, and who the HELL are you?"

Syana turns to look at the white cat. (Assuming she notices IC)

[Natrivv]

"The grouchy one is gone, so feel free to talk now"

---

Callum reaches level 12 gaining a point in speed

[Arch Lich Burns]

Vince drops his bird for a moment to speak before he picks it back up and heads back to the gate.

"And he threatened my family! He is a menace you must get rid of him!"
Mary looks at the small crow, amused by it's antics. There is a rather large owl besides of her, not looking impressed at the crow. "Ah yes, and I will bend all the rules to your very whim. You know fully well sanctuary laws do not apply. Even if he did threaten your family, you probably deserved it."
"There he is! He will kill us all! Help me!"
"Mary, let me replace you. You are over exerting yourself again."
Mary ignores the owl and looks at Vince. "Vince, before you go into the sanctuary, kill that thing in your mouth and put it out of it's misery. Now, what just happened?"

----------------------

"I am Macbeth, and I am what many call bad luck, but I am a warning. I can tell that danger follows this insect around, one that can cause massive destruction. I do not know the cause, nor do I know why. But I do know I do not want this disaster to occur. You seek the wastelands, that is past the mountains up north. It is not something easily missed, many of my kind resides near there. I will follow you until the danger is passed."




[why didn't syana level up?]

[Runsaround]

"Umm... Sure I guess. Well we should get going. Callum, do you have any way of telling North?"

[Or she did and I just didn't see hahaha oh dear I'll fix it I put a stat into speed and got pursuit.]

[Dlover]

Vince snaps his bird's neck and drops it to speak, "A group attempted to hinder our leaving by abusing ambiguous points of an earlier agreement to force us into a situation which would be worse for us. When they first tried to keep us from leaving I personally identified them as a criminal organisation, by my family's terms, not your land's, and ceased any negotiation, as per my family's tradition. Had I followed family code I would have attacked then and fought until they all lay dead or I did. Instead, I gave a warning that those who angered me would die, and one fled. I gave a warning shot to this one, who panicked, thinking he was on fire when his feathers were barely singed. Their leader struck me in retaliation, which I must accept as just action. When I demanded this one leave, he fled. Their leader," Vince nods at the corpse, "Commanded a third to send word of the encounter and proceeded to attack me again. His actions preventing our progress, his second, unjustified, attack, and his sending word which will clearly cause future delays for my allies who continued onward all combined to anger me. As a result, and at your command also, he now lays dead, as I said those who angered me would. Mind that had you wanted him healed it was still possible... I shall admit that I would not have gained victory if not for the aid of my allies, due to the two strikes I received before engaging in full combat. It would not be right to claim otherwise." He then addresses the panicked bird, I have no intention of harming innocents, even if they are family to those who make themselves my enemies, and you did not anger me, so I have no intention of killing you either, unless you attack me. Beyond that, you are seeking shelter in Sanctuary, so the laws of this land dictate that I may not attempt to harm you, even had you earned my anger." Finally, he turns back to Mary, May I enter now? I shall answer further questions later if you have them, and if you decide I have done wrong I shall accept it and what punishment is thought to be fitting, but at this moment I would like to ensure I do not pass out just outside border of Sanctuary. You or another may have the meat of this corpse, I have more urgent needs than food. Perhaps some who go hungry may benefit from it."

[Natrivv]

"Well just like the sun, the stars also travel from east to west, so we can figure out north from there."

[Arch Lich Burns]

Roll survival and perception you two

[Runsaround]

Syana rolls a 4 on Survival, but a 10 on perception.

First Roll: 4 Second: 10

[Arch Lich Burns]

"The Krows are known for trying to get whatever they can get. It does not surprise me that they harass you and others. We however, care not for your laws or customs. Outside the sanctuary there are no laws, so you can kill. You may pass."
"But...?! He attacked me?"
"Come on in you two."
"You go too Mary."
"Siiiiigh"
The door opens, letting in the Murkrow whom flutters about to the store and Vince is escorted to Rose, whom heals him 50%, but no injuries were healed.
----------------------

Callum is certain that since north is up on maps, then obviously the way north is by going up. Syana corrects him in this manner and seems to recall vaguely about the stars, but not quite sure how to find ones that are needed to find north. Syana notes a bird flying above, and while she feels dread, it is not going towards them, but rather away.
