Talon fires another bolt.

Attack: 19 Damage: 10

Son tries again, maybe if he loosens his grip as he swings...

Attack:4

Damage4

((For the love of...))

It's a good thing he's standing on his own, at this point Son is more a danger to his companions than he is to the four armed ape...

Ember struggling to keep her feet, Ember tries to remember anyway to make more of an impact with her attacks. Memory Die 2 

Ember's thoughts are drawn to the creature having four arms, and realizes that she could 'disarm' an opponent... unfortunately, that is in reference to making them drop a weapon, rather than removing a whole arm...

((Your third Battle Master maneuver is the Disarming Attack.))

Not being able to take off the ape's arm, Ember will try to trick the ape. (Feinting Attack) Ember is going to look like she is disengaging and turning to hide, but will instead use the momentum from her turn to try to slice one of the apes arms off (hehe). 

Surperiority Die (1/4 remain) 1 

Attack with Adv (no mod) 9 

(REALLY? This maneuver doesnt have very good luck)

Ember's swing also goes wide.

 The creature chomps down on Mark, dealing just enough to drop him. 

Attack: 9 Damage: 6

Obviously not regarding Son and Ember as much of a threat at the moment, it turns its attention on Blue, but only manages to land one of the swings. 

Attack: 17 Damage: 8

Attack: 19 Damage: 9

Attack: 19 Damage: 8

Attack: 7 Damage: 7

It seems frustrated by the lack of easy kills, while still getting nicked and cut a bit at a time, and decides to cut and run. 

((Blue, Ember and Son get opportunity attacks at it as it heads for the canopy.))

AoO: 10 Damage: 3

Furious at the beast, Mark drops to a knee from the attack, but by sheer force of will ignores some of the damage and stands back up. 

Stone's Endurance: 1 

Son swings even more wildly as the thing runs off. As the sword leaves his hand and lands a few feet from him he looks at his empty hand and then to his companions then back to where the sword landed.

Attack: 16 Damage: 5

"I... Uh. Well that wasn't good. Maybe I shouldn't use something sharp."

Clearing his throat he moves over to Mark to help him up and stop any bleeding. How does Mark seem to be doing?

Med check:3

((With Stone's Endurance, Mark would get a chance for an opportunity attack if he'd like it.))

He just got nearly got ape-punched to death, Son can see that Mark's not doing great, but is still on his feet.

(OOC: Wouldn't that have used my reaction?)

"You doing okay there Mark?"

He can see that he is clearly not doing okay but really doesn't have anything helpful to do to help him.

((Ah, right you are.))

Son looks at the accidentally discarded sword. While he feels strong enough to swing it, he doesn't seem to have the muscle memory. Maybe he ought to stick with... well... a stick. Or maybe a dagger. No way he could screw up a dagger, right? If he puts some force into it, a dagger could do some real damage... of course, you gotta get real up close to the neighborhood ape to stab them with a dagger...

((Out of DM sympathy, Son knows he has no talent for longswords, and can glean that his STR is better than his DEX. You also regain a Memory Die.))

Mark looks around to survey the rest of the group, then looks back at Son and slowly nods.  "I'm standing, and you're all standing.  I've a few....or maybe more than a few....bumps and scratches, but I'm okay."

Can I still throw in an attack of opportunity? 

Attack (no mod) 15 

Damage (no mod) 8 

(Never mind...haha)

"Let's hope nothing else decides to make a meal of us before we reach the pool. I think we could all use some good rest." Ember says. 

Ember will pick up her dropped bow and will spend a few minutes trying to find her lost arrow. (Investigation? 12)

Blue will try to remember any knowledge he might miraculously know about four-armed apes.

Arcana?: 20

Nature: 7
