Status: Skirt damaged<br/>HP<strong>60</strong>of 83     Spells remaining: 6 of 7 1st, 3 of 4 2nd, 1 of 1 from bonded object<br/>Ammunition remaining: 17 (+8 in pack) common arrows, 15 silvered, 20 cold iron, 2 Slow Burn, 3 Tangleshot<br/><hr/>Rayne grimaced as the talon tore into her, and tried to stay away from the griffon while considering her options.  Making the griffon forget would just put her back where she was... and unless griffons were terrible at counting, wouldn't really help, unless...<br/><br/>She glanced around, considering the nesting-ground's location, high on the Greenspire.  If she could buy a little time, maybe... surely the mother wouldn't want to range too far from her remaining eggs... but this was likely to hurt.<br/><br/>Spinning on her heel, unavoidably making a target of herself, Rayne hurried over to the nest.  There she scooped up an egg in her right hand, holding it between herself and the no-doubt-enraged griffon.<br/><hr/>Move to the nest<br/>Another move action to pick up an egg<br/><hr/><em>(below, I'm taking some liberties... this can all be scrapped, but in my mind, this is the plan.  I had thought to simply roll the three eggs in different directions, but the mechanics don't permit it - that'd be 3 different move actions I think.)</em><br/><br/>And now... what?  She hoped the egg would act as a shield, deterring the griffon from attacking... she backed away, keeping the egg in place, toward the edge of the Greenspire.  With some difficulty she transferred the egg to the crook of her bow-arm, holding it steady - and in danger of falling should the griffon attack - and freeing her right hand.  This she used for a quick cantrip... Mage Hand... raising another of the eggs quietly out of the nest, and shifting it sideways, just in range.  She looked into the griffon's bird-like eyes, than pointedly toward where the egg was hovering near ground-level, moving just enough to draw attention.  Surely the creature might wonder if another thief was present, some danger to the two remaining eggs....<br/><br/>If only the beast would hurry back for a moment to retrieve the precarious egg, Rayne could allow it gently down, "pocket" the pilfered egg into her magical pack (as a move action), and fire her Arcane Energy-imbued pixie arrow into the griffon.  This left only a 5' step backwards to plummet from the edge of the Greenspire, out of the griffon's sight and (hopefully, though she couldn't stay to check) memory.  Then she could soar, graceful as a brick, to gain some distance before using her Feather Fall to save her skin, and the eggshell.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">If this is all permitted, here are the rolls!</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Maybe a bluff check is needed?</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2014-07-23 15:52:58, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 1d20a8 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61864)<br/></div></div><br/>Spellcraft: 1d20a11 DC: 19 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61865)  Failed, no boost<br/>Attack: 1d20a14 Result: 21 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61866)  Hit<br/>Griffon's save: 1d20 Result: 7 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61867)  <strong>Failed!  Hooray!</strong><br/></div></div>
