Nioxen being totally confused over the map decides to throw it on the floor. Nioxen then shouts " Hey Guys Where To next!? "
Hunt jumped next to Nioxen, and put a hoof on her mouth. He took the point of his rifle to draw in the dirt, 'Silence!!!!'
The group sets off again, headed to the north. (BTW guys, soon I might just put the people who are inactive away, as in they are still "with" the group, but they don't affect any of the rolls. If they ever come back, they can just jump back in.) Spoiler: Group Luck Avg. Luck: 5 Rolled: 10 (uh-oh) Spoiler: Illudo Perception Illudo is in the front of the group, so I'm testing his perception. Perception: 9 Dim: -1 Rolled: 7 Illudo was walking towards the hut, when suddenly he heard a rustling sound from his left. Spoiler: Nioxen Luck Luck: 9 Rolled: 4 He froze, then Nioxen, who was directly behind him and had not stopped walking, bumped into him, knocking him forward. At that precise moment, something pony-sized flew overhead, right through where Illudo had been standing. It landed in the brush with an "oomph". Spoiler: Situation Nioxen and Illudo are on the ground, hidden but immobile. Hunt is behind them, and Winter is behind him. The figure is lying several meters to everypony's right.
Travelling through the woods was never Kicker's forte. He much preferred the openness of the sky and clouds. That being said, he hadn't done much except follow the other ponies while keeping an eye out for the occasional low-hanging branch or gopher hole or some such...annoyance. While doing this, he noticed something to his right. He took a quick head count and guessed that everypony was all there plus one. He took a couple of steps toward the prone figure to his right and crouched. "Dude? You alright?" Spoiler: Kicker's use of the word "Dude" To Cloud Kicker, "Dude" is gender-neutral, much like the word "pony".
The figure got to its feet with un-ponylike speed and turned to Kicker. Without answering, it picked up the knife it had dropped when it landed and charged him. Spoiler: Kicker Agility Agility: 8 Unprepared: -1 Dim: -1 Dense Foliage: -1 Rolled: 2 Kicker sidestepped the figure, who ran headlong into a tree. But, when he should have stayed down, he got back up and snorted in anger. (Enemy takes damage) The figure is wearing a loose material, it seems to be a cloak identical to Illudo's.
Kicker chuckles at the cloaked figure. "Maybe if ya got that hood outta your eyes, you'd be able to see!" He pauses for a moment. "I mean, unless you were aiming for the tree, in which case, Right on, bro!" Now to show Firebreeze my moves! Kicker lauched at the cloaked figure, hooves first in an attempt to push him over. If he missed, he figured he bounce off one of the nearby trees and try again. At least forests have lots of stuff to bounce off of... he thought.
Winter charged his spell, Time to give that cloak pony a taste of the Fire and Ice special! He thought as his horn caught fire and froze at the same time.
Spoiler: Kicker attacks cloaked figure Agility: 8 Dim Light: -1 Enemy is given time to prepare by his speech: -1 Enemy has unnatural speed: -1 Dense Foliage slows enemy: +1 Enemy is dazed: +1 Rolls: 4 Hit! Strength: 3 Solid Hit (fairly low roll on agility): +1 Rolls: 3 Kicker slammed into the aggressive pony, and knocked him into the same tree a second time for good measure. The pony collapsed, the wind totally knocked out of him. Kicker rebounded back to where he had previously been standing and made a perfect landing. Spoiler: Winter Warmth's spell Lore: 9 Rolls: 2 Winter felt the spell work, on a far more massive scale than he had meant for it to. The monster spell flew at the cloaked pony. Spoiler: Winter Warmth's accuracy Marksmanship: 2 Powerful Spell (Insanely good lore roll): +2 Dim Light: -1 Rolls: 2 You guys are getting super duper lucky. xD Winter's massive spell slammed into the pony, simultaneously cooking and freezing him. When the glare of the fire died down, there was nothing left except a coating of ice over a charred tree trunk. (Er, I guess there's no need for a telekinesis spell, xD)
(Winter's a guy) "Wow, I didn't mean to entirely annihalte him/her…" Winter said, breathless from the spell.
Nioxen was un-phased by the event that occurred in front of him and said " That was fun! " with a un-nerving smile. ( Legion Delete some of your PM's i cant message you DX )
Grey Mane sort of snickered at the event that just occured. "Stealth... Whoever that was should have learnt it. Thier mistake. Shall we move on?" She smiled, her smile unnerveing in its own way.
Kicker's eyes widened at what was left of the hostile pony. "Holy horseapples..." Then he turned to Winter and quipped. "Good thing you're on our side!"
Grimacing at Illudo seeming to have taken charge, he accompanies the group through the forest. After Illudo notices something from a treetop perch, they set off again to whatever he noticed. As they continue along, he hears some kind of action happening at the front of the group. He maneuvers around to get a better look at the action, and notices Cloud Kicker attacking a pony shaped silhouette. Mere seconds later, Winter unleashes a spell that seemingly annihilates whoever the figure was. He rushes over to the remains and digs through them in an attempt to find something that might give them a better idea of who the mysterious figure was. As he does so, he hushedly exclaims, "Why did you just destroy this individual?! What if they were another pony that escaped from whatever horrors we are hunting down!"
Winter turned towards Nioxen, "Who cares about muffins, now let's go before something else attacks." He said, his horn becoming a torch again and walked in the direction they were heading, calling over his shoulder, "Coming or not?"
"Please," Fire said, rather annoyed, "Just forget about muffins, Nixon. There are mort important things going on." He then began following Winter and his light again.
Nioxen Lowered his head in shame for he thought he had done wrong, he slowly followed the group at a distance.
