Octagon - Another Purpose - Game Thread.

Enraged, two of first three avatrols who charged Ronna, failed to stop in time their charge, and held by inertion from their charge, dived right into the canal from the platform shore. They made awful, ear-ripping agony sound, and soon became silent, as their bodies were slowly consumed by nano-liquid in the canal. Third avatrol followed Ronna’s motion with its gaze and changed its charge direction towards Ronna’s new location.

Second group, hearing agony song of the first two, stopped, alerted and their attention turned towards party on the canals walls. One of creatures approached the edge of the platform, tapped the edge with its leg, and frowned back, making angry, ear-ripping sound.

The platform jump land point is in short+ range from the avatrols. Any party member who will jump there will be not able to attack the avatrols this turn with melee attacks.
Avatrol 1 - dead
Avatrol 2 - dead
Avatrol 3 - Charging Ronna
Avatrols 4-6 - standing on the platform on the place where Ronna were standing and shooting the Orosomia plants, 22 metres from landing point if anyone will jump back to platform
Seems it is time to act for all the crew

None of tauns really "impressed" the beasts, and they turned towards Ronna, seeing in her, perhaps, arch-nemesis of Orosomia, and started to move towards her, without charging, but in more careful fashion.
At moment of turning the avatrol who made tests near the edge of platform, got Lucas arrow into its back right leg, penetrating thick armor, and entering deep into it's top, close to the creature's back. It made that angry hateful, ear-ripping crying sound, turned towards Lucas, Zinobia, and then turned back towards Ronna, and followed the others. Those three avatrols moving in north direction now, increasing distance between them and party on the canals walls.

The avatrol which initially followed Ronna already ~14 ft from her.

Avatrol 1-2 - DEAD
Avatrol 3 - Charging on Ronna, distance to Ronna 14 ft
Avatrol 4-5 - following Ronna motion, but not actually charging
Avatrol 6 - wounded, seemingly slowed, follows the 4-5 group with some gap

Taking nyoms lead Jax also jumps across to change the avatrols plans of attacking Ronna. Time for the fun to start Jax thinks to himself as he leaps across

trained in jumping

Btw please update all pointsd you spent from pools on efforts, and far steps. I hope you keep them updated. This is important for the game balance, challenge and proper feel :)

Nyom, driven by her commintment to protect Ronna, who saved Nyom's life once, skillfuly jumped to the platform, and rushed towards Avatrols. Perhaps, noticing her with edge of it's sight one of the avatrols sensed incoming danger of flanking it human glaive with long double-edged spear . That avatrol turned towards her and charged on Nyom, but reaction and balancing skill of Nyom served her well, and avatrol missed her with its charge, creating small clouds of dust. Now Nyom is in immidiate range of the avatrol, and she have nice angle to attack it from side, before the avatrol will turn to face her.

Avatrol 5 in immidiate range of Nyom, Nyom have -1 Difficulty modifier for her next attack on that Avatrol

Enraged, hobbled and wounded avatrol became confused by sounds effects Mandoric were emitting, especially that it recieved heavy head damage from Lucas arrow, which hit vulnerable spot on creature's head's back . The creature became confused and moved erratically, and then turned towards Mandoric and Lucas, getting close to the Jax, who landed on the platform, performing his leap. Now it's heavy wounded, and really confused.

Lucas hit Avatrol 6 for 9 damage this round. Mandoric suceed because of already hobbled and wounded state of the creature, and effort. Avatrols are very perceptive creatures. He suceed with only wounded one though, making it better target and dragging it towards Jax, so Lucas and Jax have better chance to hit it. It is heavy wounded, and attacking it is easier task now.

Ronna jumped to the hill top. The avatrol which chased her before entered the edge part of flower field, it lost trace on Ronna because the growing flowers prevent clear view of situation, and seems that it will go sleep soon - because it is already not standing and it's head is not visible already. Fourth avatrol charges towards Ronna now, following her to her new location.

Avatrol 3 seeming falling asleep in Sephoria field.
Avatrol 4 charging Ronna to hill top.

Again, please ensure that everyone updated points spent from their skills and efforts. Thanks! :)

small point, Av 6 dead, pls no more attacks on him unless you just want to punch him bit more, more results will be later, once all players done their turns.
