<strong>The wilds of Dra Sirdu</strong><br/><br/>The noises of fury and movement grew ever closer, until a pair of enormous, hairy beasts burst through the undergrowth, eyes wild and breath steaming the air. Each had dark, heavy, coarse hair across their long bodies and their six, muscular limbs. Their features were a strange twist of ape and some sort of predatory mammal, though the odd mixture made it impossible to tell exactly what sort.<br/><br/>Apparently shocked by the sudden appearance of four scattered, unfamiliar creatures, the two beasts nearly skidded to a stop, glancing between the different members of the group. However, just as one seemed to be calming down, the other let out a loud, brassy bellow. This set off the calmer of the two once more, and the creatures charged, bellowing loudly.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">NPC Rolls and Comments</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Alright, the games are afoot.<br/><br/>Firstly: the aspects on the scene are <em>Heavy Undergrowth</em> and <em>Narrowly Spaced Trees</em>, either of which could be fairly easily exploited against the ape-predator-things. The ape-things have aspects of their own, so send me a PM if you want to take a guess at one and then spent Fate Points to exploit it. For the rolls, I decided to use the 4d3-8 set up that I mentioned, just for a change.<br/><br/>At 2013-03-11 20:22:24, Gorilledator (uid: 13420) rolls: 4d3a-8 Result: -2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=44843)<br/>The ape-things, which I have glibly named gorilledators (even though gorillas aren't the only sort of ape, or necessarily the type mixed in here), rolled extremely poorly to defend against Eshalu's tree-climbing. Their base notice of 1 results in a 4 point gap, meaning that you will get two free Invokes on your <em>Treetop Position</em> aspect that you just created, MdG (as that's how I'm treating the roll, if it works for you).<br/><br/>At 2013-03-11 20:21:48, Unknown (uid: 13420) rolls: 4d3a-8 Result: 1 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=44842)<br/>Now, as for the notice rolls, an Average doesn't get Lazerette anything, but Aeryn's Great breaks even with the unknown party rolling here. This means you have a choice here, Aeryn. Either you can fail at no price and begin combat as usual, or you can succeed and get information while taking a boost of <em>Distracted Realization</em> that the ape-things will probably invoke against you (unless, of course, someone else draws their attention first). Please let me know your choice in PM and I'll get back to you with information you can work into your next post ASAP.<br/><br/>You guys all go first, so let's see how this one pans out!</div></div>
