Ormond issues a command to the deputy sheriff, "STAY!". (WIS Save DC 13)

He then says harshly, "Everyone - run!" He pushes the tortle encouraging them to get a move on as he himself picks an escape path an books it, saying under his breath, "I'll be damned before getting dragged to a Militia prison."

Wis: 12

The deputy sheriff locks up a bit, “Oh, you got that right, son.”

Feeling the spell take hold, Ormond looks over his shoulder and says, "Run you damn hippo - run!" 

Roland dashes down the street away from the sheriff, flipping him off over his shoulder after sheathing the glaive. "Chased by fans everywhere I go.", he says to Ormond as they run off. 

As you take off running, the deputy sheriff rolls his neck, loosened after your spell. He lowers into a crouched position, “Iron Stilts.”

As he does, his legs seem to elongate and stretch into pillars of iron that rise above the buildings. His legs seem to rematerialize at the top of the pillars as he leaps from building to building!

Ormond, you now recognize this man: Tavish ‘Ironsides’ Luster, deputy sheriff and wielder of the Iron Landscape coin!

At this point, the chase has begun!

Roland and Ormond are currently running down an alley. Meanwhile, above them on the roof is Tavish, who is running along the roof! At the same time, Deshi is back at the open road (likely looking around with a panicked expression.) After a few moments, Penny has found Deshi!

 // DM Questions - How much does Ormond curse to himself upon realizing who it is?  Anything known about 'Ironsides' that can be leveraged to possibly benefit Ormond and Roland?

He’s brutally efficient. While not nearly as dangerous as some of the higher ups, he is single mindedly focused and few have ever escaped him. The only weakness that Ormond immediately thinks of is the same weakness all coin-cursed have: gold.

"Penny! There has been such excitement! Cursed coins are in play! The others just ran off, and the law is on their tails!"

The tortle looks as if he's going to faint. "... What do we do?"

"What?!" Penny shakes her head. "I leave you guys alone for an hour, and you manage to find a law man? What, did the Hippo walk up and slap him? I have the maps," Penny shakes the rolled up maps at Deshi. "And there's a fault line right her in town! And it's going to open soon!"

Are Roland and Ormond running towards Deshi and Penny down the alley? Can we seem the hurrying pell-mell towards us?

The second the two start running Roland shoves the glaive into a specially made strap on the left of his back and Roland hunches forward as his body shifts into that of a full on hippo. Unlike the animal shapes of certain druids Rolands armor shifts with him, and the armor and clothes on his body shifts with him. A full sized hippo in scalemail (and a smallish cape for its size) stampedes down the alley. "HEY, ORMOND! HOP ON.", the deep rumbling voice of Hippo-Roland says, as he runs by Ormonds side, waiting for him to jump on top of him.

 They are running away from your position.

 Ormond doesn't think twice and immediately hops onto the armored hippo!

“Then we must away, and with haste!” They begin pelting after the others with surprising speed. “We can’t enter the depths alone, and we may not have another such chance. We must confound that coin-cursed constable at all costs!”

Penny stands there as Deshi rushes off. “Sure we can go down there alone,” she says, mostly to herself.

Then she sighs and sets off at a run behind the tortle.

The chase continues further down the street!

Roland and Ormond are picking up speed, albeit Hippo-Roland is no quicker than average Roland. Meanwhile, above them Tavish follows on the roof tops!

However, he jumps off the building, as a slope of iron pours out from his boots. “You can’t outrun me, son! I’ve brought down men of much higher grit than yourself!”

He’s going to make an Athletics check to try to continue closing the distance: 22

Whereas Roland and Ormond are having to avoid obstacles, Tavish’s skin and clothes just turns a dark, metallic hue and he just plows through them!

Meanwhile, Penny and Deshthi are following behind at a distance!

"You got any fancy spells or gold on you? 'Cause we ain't getting away at this pace. " Roland says, throwing a waterbarrel to the side with his massive snout. "All I've got is this hulking body and good looks, and a whole lot of grit." 

Counter athletics to keep the distance: 15

Roland is keeping the distance! 

Ormond replies to Roland, "I've some gold coins - that's about it."

"If you can find a way to make them touch him long enough he'll pass out. Just don't drop them on me, or we're both screwed!" Roland says looking for a place to turn a corner and trying to spot any sign of their other two companions.
Perception: 12
