Challenge her? For that matter, charge at a bariaur?<br/><br/>Well, there's only one response to that!<br/><br/>Jolly comes back down onto all fours with a crash of armor, shrugging her buckler around and lowering her lance as she lunges forward to meet the pit-spawn. With a bloodthirsty and wildly happy war-whoop of her own, the bariaur drops her lance into line with one of the goat-thing's eye-sockets as she gallops across the cobbles to meet it, gaining speed with every stride.<br/><br/>As she streaks past the demon, one of her hind-hooves kicks up and back, but it's poorly-timed, too eager, and there's just no possibility of it connecting. Jolly wheels to a halt just beyond the fountain, cloven hooves skidding on the stones as she turns to lower her lance once more towards the flaming creature (if it survived, if not she'll face the nearest hostile).<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Initiative and Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Jolly's Initiative is 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=128151)<br/><br/>As a <strong>swift action</strong>, Jolly <strong>challenges</strong> the Tanar'ri, <br/>then <strong>charges</strong> him <strong>as a full-round action</strong> using her lance attack (with <strong>Ride By Attack</strong> and <strong>Spirited Charge</strong>) to charge 10' past him, coming to a halt just SE of the fountain.
