Octagon - Another Purpose - Game Thread.

OCC Nyom and Zinobia can do same Situational awareness roll, but it is +2 difficulty roll for them.
Jax still need to make the roll, it is Difficulty 2

OOC: Everyone is rolling great! :-D

OOC: I know - death by d20?! :-o

Jax with his perceptive and just eye noticed the dangerously increasing gap between Ronna and the party. His trained eyes also noticed distant movement, and his heart in fraction of second turned his body back, towards Ronna. He noticed the Broken Hounds in distance, grouping for massive coordinated jump attack on Ronna, and he with all his prowess hurled towards staggered lady, which according to his quick analysis was in invietable danger.

Perhaps the drastic change in rhythm of metal clanking of his shield when he was running with the party, alerted Zinobia.
Zinobia turned back and saw Jax sprinting back, and then distant, almost non-visible for him figure of Ronna, and immidiately hurled towards Ronna as well. He hissed loudly "Ronna! Help them! Now!!!!" alerting other party members.

Ronna noticed closing on her and surrounding hounds. They are prepearing for jump. There five hounds surrounding Ronna, and one closing from distance. there could be more.

OOC:
After this turn Ronna will be attacked.
5 Hounds are in short range from Ronna and prepearing for jump.
Jax will be able to sprint to Ronna and be at immidiate distance of her before next turn starts, this means he spends this turn in to reach Ronna.
Ronna could not move from vicinity of hounds, and all she can do is to use item or perform esotery or attack with ranged skill.
Other party members need to do Graduated Sucess Speed roll which will determine distance they will be able to move during this turn. All applicable skills and speed effort could be used.
Zinobia, Mandoric and Lucas need 24 points in order to get to immidiate range of Hounds and Ronna.
Nyom needs 29 points to cover all the distance.
Reaching required number will mean getting into immediate range.
Reaching required number - 5 will mean getting into edge of short range (15 meters)
Ranged attacks could be intiated at ranged weapon optimals , calculating distance as 1 point = 3 m
Initiative COUNTS for this roll

Removed the stim

72 m
1 point is 10 ft.
100 ft is 10 points of distance, you are at 24 points right now, so its ~230-240ft

Lucas swiftly arrive to possition for bow attack, and able to prepare the shot. Next attack bow attack -2 difficulty, making it trivial to hit Broken Hound N2.

Ronna craft her tricky mirracle in front of broken hounds and now at long distance, not far from Lucas, and 90 feet distance from the hounds.
In same moment Jax hurled himself, arrived to the place where Ronna was and following his movement inertion collided his mace into one of Broken Hound's chest, and the collision launch the hound into air, and it falls on the ground, making small cloud of dust. Jax at immidiate contact with hounds.

Mandoric and his Seskii keep together and are at 130 feet distance from the Hounds, and moving.
