Bison - 16
Tarrin - 12
Vendrick - 11
Sister Megaera - 10

Rannos - Seeing that the herd may be preparing to charge, you try and calm down one of the beasts through your empathy - Animal Empathy DDR (no roll - automatic failure due to range) - The bison seems unaffected at your attempts to change their mood. (OOC: I was gonna give you a second shot at this but saw you have 0 ranks in the skill. So maybe the character would try things like this until he figures it out)

Cael - ridecheck DDR 19 (pass) - Again you attempt to put another arrow into the charging beast - DDR 14 (hit) dmg 6 - Another arrow sticks into the bisons back. Your warhorse rears to attack the bison - DDR 16 (hit) dmg 4; DDR 8 (miss) - The horse connects with one hoof but not the other. The horse the bites at the creature - DDR 13 (hit) dmg 2 - The horse pulls a piece of hide from the bison.

Matilda - Taking careful aim, you draw your crossbow and let a bolt fly - DDR 8 (miss) - The arrow flies over the top of the bison and lands harmlessly in the tall grass.

Bison - Only knowing it is suffering pain, the enraged bison again tries to smash into the horse - DDR 16 (hit) dmg 14 - The bison pierces the horses belly and sends it along with its rider crashing to the ground.

Tarrin - Seeing zCael go down with his horse, you attempt to stab the bison with your spear - DDR 20 (natural) DDR Crit 7 (miss) dmg 6 - With your effort the bison gives out one last wail and falls to the ground.


Evermath - With the last blow to the old bison the rest of the herd stampeds straight away from your position. Many little calves that were not seen before are revealed as the herd rushes away.
He who walks in the shade shall never be the same.
