FR PbP

The lioness chuffs short and agitated. 

"This good. ... Safe for us and whelps. ... Old nest better. ... Bigger for pride. ... On large mountain. ... White dragon attack old nest. ... Lost Prime, other beta, three sisters and four whelps. ... Him and other sister save few whelps and find me. ... Was hunting. ... Other sister dead. ... Too cold. ... We feed three pride whelps and my four ... new ... whelps. 

You make much meat easy to get."

She's mostly watching Wolfsong and her mate, but you can tell she sees you clearly enough. 

Wolfsong grits his teeth as the manticore bites down on his forearm, feels the sting of the beast's claw against his chest, but his rage helps in dulling the pain. Pulling free his arm Wolfsong swipes back at the manticore with his own claws.

Claw Attack 1: 10 Damage: 10

Claw Attack 2: 23 Damage: 8 

TT has never seen anything like this, but she can imagine something like this taking place in a large arena with crowds cheering. Her holy symbol in her hand she will continue to watch and wait for the moment her friend needs her help. 

The manticore roars, rears back and attempts to slam Wolfsong down again.

(( Contested Strength Role. If the lion beats Wolfsong, he is grappled. If Wolfsong is beat by more than five points, he is pinned. Both role with  advantage and existing modifiers.  16 ))

Seeing the manticore rear up Wolfsong attempts to brace himself to take the full force and weight of the beast thrown against him.

Strength Check: 20

Robwin gasps and takes a step back “Oh my!”. Then cheers for Wolfsong. “You can do this!”. While watching he’s unconsciously ducking and diving and miming the moves he’s willing Wolfsong to make. Swipe, swipe, dodge…

The beast being handily pushed aside, easily managed by Wolfsong, shakes from his main down his entire body and laughs! It is a deep purr filed hungry sound. "Match for match. Do we kill each other now or find bigger pray?" (( Eline is close enough to hear the compliment and question. ))

Eline Insite 21

The lioness says to Rinn, "Want dragon dead. ... Want the whelps grown. ... Mine and Pride's. ... Pride's older and stronger. ... Want to hunt. ... Mate right. ... Strong fighter. ... Meat giver.  ...  Worth Pride." (( Robwin is close enough to her. ))

Eline holds her Attack again. 

Round 6: TT, Rinn, Robwin, Wolfsong, manticore, Eline

TT lets out an audible "yes" while still holding her amulet in front of her. 

Wolfsong returns the beast's laugh with one of his own, "Aye the Wilds has seen fit to bless us both, so let us join and enjoy a greater hunt together. Tell me do you have name? I wish to know what to call those who hunt beside me."

As the manticore and Wolfsong appear to reach a honourable conclusion, Robwin claps and cheers, “Oh wonderful! Bravo!… A mighty display!”.

TT closes her eyes and mutters something before approaching the 2 combatants with caution. "Ive never seen anything like that!!" TT says incredulously 

The lioness leaves her perched position, saunters over and rubs along and against the lion with a distinct purr and quite low chirp. 

The lion returns part of the rub.

"I am cleaver. She is skinner. Our whelps are not blooded."

TT, the Lioness makes a series of vocalizations that make your skin crawl just a bit.

For Robwin, you hear, [[In Abbysal]] Wise choice my mate. They track well, feed well, kill well. They will be teeth against the dragon we do not have. The whelps may grow to hunt on their own. [[In Abbysal]]  

The lion continues, in common, "We brought back much meat after your last battle. Skinner named the thin one 'Meat-Giver' Did you truly offer it all to her openly?"

The lioness swats his muzzle and they briefly growl at each other. ((Definitely a non-verbal 'How dare you question me?' coming from both of them to each other. ))

Rinn bows with extravagant exaggeration, "I did indeed. It seems only fair. There was more than I could eat," he pats his stomach as if it were full.

(( Fortitude is often situational.))

As Rinn makes his response, Eline's mind flashes back to the wagon, the raiders, the battle, the dead, the Jellies and the pillar of skulls. (Constitution Save DC 12 11)

Eline shakes her head slowly and with a rye grin comments, "That's foul Rinn." 

Rinn just grins at Eline and waves off the comment, "No fowl, only orcs." He laughs. "So, our monstrously strong new friends, what are you planning to do next? I mean, this place is drearily awful and all. But surely you'd like somewhere a little nicer?"

Robwin moves closer and chips in, “Are you all safe here? Maybe that’s all that matters for now… We can think about a new territory for you once the dragon threat is dealt with?…”.

”Do you have everything you need for now? And can we call on you, when we push to topple the dragon??!”.

TT, again, the Lioness makes a series of vocalizations that make your skin crawl just a bit.

For Robwin, you hear, [[In Abbysal]] Go with them. We have plenty and I will continue to hunt. Prove they are worthy. Prove you are strong.  [[In Abbysal]]  

In common the lion responds to Rinn and Robwin, "We have what we want here. Skinner will protect and feed the whelps. I will join your hunt now. We can call to each other.  From far if we need.,"

Looking at Wolfsong, the lion says, "What are we hunting?"
