R4 Reactions
The flaming hound launches after Ivor as he withdraws up the hill. Maeriks, standing ready as he backs up, sees his friend with the dangerous enemy on his heels. He steps in to intervene. Knowing that Maeriks has the extended reach with the pole glaive, Ivor prepares to time out an aggressive counter-attack against the unnatural pursuer.
FH3 Movement, targeting Ivor for Attack TR4
Approach into glaive 10' Reach triggers OA R4 Reaction for Maeriks. Hit.
Maeriks slashes at the burning hound as it drives closer and closer to Ivor. The blade hinders, but does not halt. The fiery mass is now leaping in at Ivor.
Approach in trident 5' Reach triggers OA R4 Reaction for Ivor. Hit.
Ivor feels the heat of the flames just behind him. He has to time it perfectly. He catches a glimpse of Maeriks' eyes as he passes, and sees the shadows shift on the ground beneath him, drawing in shorter and closer to his own space. Without looking back, Ivor knows that the dog has jumped into the air now, intent on knocking him down and getting a hold around his neck.
Ivor sets his lead foot and shifts weight backwards, simultaneously pivoting and using the force of the turn to drive outward with a fierce thrust, aiming to carry the trident through to full extension for better or worse.
The timing is perfect. The prongs of the trident meet the flaming dog directly in the center chest. The beast lets out a harsh roar as its lower body swings under carried by the momentum transferred as his front torso stops in a dead halt, impaled.
