Savage Harvest- adventure thread

Luke looks on in amazement at Gert's skill "I never knew you had it in you there Gert"

"Thanks Luke!  This is, well this is fun!!"  She is breathing hard with exhilaration as she beams from Luke's comment.  "You're up!"

As Gerty makes her way back, Aaron says playfully, "Goodness Gerty, I guess what Sasha was saying wasn't smoke and mirrors - y'all are the real deal. Not that I ever doubted it, just impressive to witness firsthand." He smiles at her and Sasha, then turns his attention to Luke. 

William jumps up: Now me, now me!

And here he goes:

POLE 1: DEX 17 

POLE 2: DEX 14 Attack: 25 Damage: 13 

POLE 3: DEX 22 Attack: 16 Damage: 6 

POLE 4: DEX 6  

Sasha smiles back at Aaron. "Well I'm not all smoke and mirrors at least." She says with a wink, patting the wand tucked into her belt.

"Thanks Aaron!  Glad to have you join us, its going to be fun heading up to Mirabar."  She leans back against the fence, enjoying the sunshine and thrilled things are going this way.  Not sure why she's doing so well, maybe the adrenaline is still there from yesterday?  She'll take it!

As William takes up his turn, she whistles loudly once he's done, "Dang Will!!  Look at you go!  Nice job!!"

 Loran huffs and puffs as he watches his new friends ace the tests, Hoping to pick up some moves from them before its his turn.. Slightly Winded from his "calculated" sword flailing.  ("Phew... Everyone's doin great! Hopefully i can keep this up somehow...")  He thinks to himself, taking a few more practice swings and stabs at thin air.

William is very agile in this event, dodging with ease and landing a solid blow against Pole 2, almost getting caught by the arm as he left causing him to barely miss pole 3.

”Very nice William, your very quick, it will serve you well in your adventures.”

next up:

Pole1 Attack: 16 Damage: 2

pole2 Attack: 16 Damage: -1

pole3 Attack: 11 Damage: 2

pole4 Attack: 13 Damage: 1

William beams with pride!

Luke you've got to try this! It's fun!

As Will makes his way back, Aaron claps and then gives him a reassuring pat on the back. "Hey nice work out there, guy! I hope I can keep up with all y'all." 

He takes a deep breath, and charges in:

DEX 1: 11

DEX 2: 14 Attack 1: 15 Damage: 4

DEX 3: 5 Attack 2: 15 Damage: 5 

DEX 4: 17

(proceeds to get the confidence beat out of him XD)

 ( I wish this could be animated, lol. The dice always know…)

As Aaron rushes forward, he doesn’t quite duck the incoming arm, catching it across the forehead, he moves in to strike into the 2nd pole and makes a good hit, while being hit with a glancing blow from that swing arm. Moving to pole three he successfully hits it solid while getting beamed in the chest from the relentless swing wood arm of the dummy, and finally on the way out manages to dodge the last arm. The small wounds he received don’t detract from the exhilaration he felt as he landed those blows against the poles. In fact, the injuries seemed to bring about a sort of euphoria mixed with a tinge of anger…a real rush. You feel powerful, dominant and ready for anything. You feel better than you have ever felt in your life.

Magnus congratulates Aaron on his performance, noting how the pain propelled him to succeed in the battle. He tells you some warriors get their best results that way.

Next up:

pole1 Attack: 6 Damage: -1

pole2 18 Damage: 0

pole3 1 Damage: -1

pole4 2 Damage: 1

The fury with which Aaron forces his way through the line of poles sends a delicate shiver sliding up Sasha's spine as she just leans back against a wooden post, biting her lip, following Aaron's every movement with her dark eyes.

Aaron makes his way back, appearing better off now than he were before he rushed through.  "Thanks Magnus, I know exactly what you mean. I'm ready for more!" He flashes a pearly smile, and takes his place back with the others. 

"Right then. I think I'm ready to give this a shot." Loran says as he finally musters up the courage to step up to the poles. Swords ready, he sprints up the poles and hopes for the best. "Here goes nothin!"  

Dex 1 4

Dex 2 Attack 1: 17  Damage: 7

Dex 3 Attack 2: 23 Damage:  4

Dex 4 5

(Thats uhhh. A little unfortunate.)

 Your missing your dex rolls for pole 2 and 3

LORAN dodges the first swing arm deftly as he move to the 2 pole to dodge and strike…

The tension rises, more and more, as Loran slowly works his way through the swiveling poles, Sasha cheering him on. Will he make it?
