This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kina moves. 23
Kina charges the patriarch of her herd and slams her feet into him from the side, catching him off-guard.
7
After striking with her front hooves, she leaps up, and with a feat of acrobatics that one wouldn't expect from a centaur, spins in midair to slam her rear hooves into his face as her bonus action.
Aelar staggers aside, panting from the exertion, a little wide-eyed at having won the fight.
"Wow! I can't believe how that went," he says looking at this friends. Then a blur of movement dashes past and he turns to see Kina attacking the leader. His mouth gapes at her power and grace!
Kina picks up the pace a bit as the cart bounces along.
"Don't worry. They're not going to shoot at us or attack us again. Halgrave broke the law first when he tried to charge Aelar for an honest win in a match with nothing more than pride on the line. You probably didn't even know where you hit him, not that Jerren was much of a match for you in the first place." Kina says, looking back.
"To attack an unarmed colt--err--young one, and to do so by surprise? Utterly shameful. He broke tradition, and by our law, when a leader willingly breaks tradition, anyone is within their right to challenge the leader. Even if he ordered the others to, they won't attack us. Halgrave will be lucky if one of his lieutenants doesn't take the opportunity to usurp his position right now." she explains.
Kina looks to Kallista and smiles. "You know what? I'm not. I was never part of that herd, not really. There are others I can join, when I feel like it. For now, I think I have better company." she says, looking back to Aelar.
"That was a foolish risk you took... but thank you all the same. You too, Lazlo."

Aelar nods. "Yes, it was foolish. But my father hated bullies and so do I." He looks a little sheepishly at the others. "I am sorry I spoke up, though. I could have endangered everyone."
(Aelar gains 5 points to monk AND 1 success towards a CHA and DEX increase XD and Lazlo earns 5 more points to bard and rogue for utilizing a silver tongue.)
(And to think all that took place because of a failed intimidation roll! XD I love D&D)

ooc: Aelar now has 2 CHA successes. At 3 he gets a chance to increase his CHA, right?
(I need to read back in the logs, I can't remember if Lazlo succeeded in a persuasion check in all of that)
Here's a quick recap of party progress folks!
Lazlo:1/3 stealth 1/3 CHA 1/3 survival Aelar: 1/3 carving 1/3 stealth 1/3 INT 1/3 performance 2/3 CHA 1/3 DEX Balgrim:1/3 stealth 1/3 survival Kallista:1/3 stealth Leon:1/3 stealth Hyre:1/3 stealth
party class progress recap:
Lazlo: 15/50 bard 5/50 rogue Aelar: 5/50 monk (pfft) Balgrim: (For making that bow and for helping Lazlo make a bow, 5/50 for ranger/fighter) Kallista: 5/50 ranger 5/50 rogue Leon: (Actually, for trying to make that spear, I'm going to award 5/50 for fighter/ranger) Hyre: (For staying hidden while the others talked to the centaurs to see if they attacked, 5/50 for rogue, 5/50 for ranger, 5/50 for monk. Very ninja-y)
(Perception is a passive skill, it doesn't need to be trained, does it? Like, you don't need to be a certain class to get a bonus to it, it's just something that anyone can do and they get a bonus from ability scores)
(Perception is a passive skill, it doesn't need to be trained, does it? Like, you don't need to be a certain class to get a bonus to it, it's just something that anyone can do and they get a bonus from ability scores)
ooc: Absolutely Perception can be trained. Police train for it all the time, so does the military. It's true that everyone can do it, but everyone can sing and everyone can carve. Some are just better at those things and some are just more perceptive and it is a skill. My mother's perception is crazy high. In D&D5E it is a skill that you can get both Proficiency and Expertise in. So, it seems it should be included in these, but your the DM. Your call.
(Oop! Nope, you're completely right. I just saw it when looking through the various classes, some do have extra proficiency in perception, persuasion, intuition and investigation. I'll go back and tally those up too, all the cases where it was your roll against something else's or could be counted as 'practice'. I thought those were just 'passive' skills.)

(Don't worry about the bad dice rolls in the wilds, you'll have plenty more opportunities to train in Guiston. After looking back in the logs, wow, the dice really aren't nice!) party class progress recap:
Lazlo: 15/50 bard 5/50 rogue Aelar: 5/50 monk (pfft) Balgrim: (For making that bow and for helping Lazlo make a bow, 5/50 for ranger/fighter) Kallista: 5/50 ranger 5/50 rogue Leon: (Actually, for trying to make that spear, I'm going to award 5/50 for fighter/ranger) Hyre: (For staying hidden while the others talked to the centaurs to see if they attacked, 5/50 for rogue, 5/50 for ranger, 5/50 for monk. Very ninja-y)
Leon mulls over a troubled mind. He wonders what his life was going to be like in Guiston, how he would survive off the small amount of a coin the group had. And most of all, he feels a burning vengeance against the invaders of Hon. He was going to make them pay, he was sure of that.
When the fight breaks out between the centuar Kina and the members of the group, Leon is briefly startled from his contemplation and readies his spear. Upon realizing it was just a friendly brawl, he leans back into his hiding spot and continues immersing himself in his thoughts.

"I'm sorry it had to come this way, but you have independence now. You're all going to have to find your own way, just like me." she says.
She notices the herd catching up again, but this time, they give the group a WIDE birth and thunder on ahead. Kina smirks, then looks back to the group.
"I have connections in Guiston, but nobody I know in town has space for six kids... at least indoors. I'm going to see if I can stay in the stables of a farmer I've worked for in the past who will be happy to have extra hands. The pay won't be good, but Goodwin farm includes a hot meal every day worked, and it will be at least safer than huddling down in The Ritz." she says. "There's also my blacksmith, Brian... well, I guess you could say he's my cobbler, technically, who might be able to use some strong arms, and Serena, who owns the Silver Horseshoe Saloon in the Warren... the place has a high turnover rate, so she might be hiring." she says, looking apologetic.
"I'll come help you out when I can. Any extra money I earn, I'll bring to you. If I hear of work, I'll let you know. Whatever I can do."
(It's okay, I just hope I things didn't race off without you!

"Go, Kina!"
Tandor the White, Human Life Cleric
The herdmaster goes tumbling as Kina lands in a fighting stance, low, arms spread, and graceful. She's been trained.
Halgrave is seriously injured from the attack, and now the centaurs are in shock at what they've just witnessed. They're not sure what to do.
Halgrave clutches his bleeding jaw, a tooth hanging loose from his lip.
"They won't.... follow you, half-breed WHORE." he grunts, as some of the centaurs move to pick their leader up.
"I don't WANT them to follow me. I don't need your herd." Kina responds, and spits at the ground in front of Halgrave.
Kina turns her back on the centaurs and goes to Aelar, putting her hand on his shoulder with a gentle smile.
"Come on... let's go. There's nothing more for us here." she says, buckling herself up into the wagon again.
