Falco attempts a spell, however the creature seems unaffected...
Kiwina goes to stand next to Falco.
Rolth begins a war chant.
The Hellhounds all charge up to Falco and Kiwina, and they all make bite attacks against them, half attacking Kiwina, half attacking Falco, ending with Falco taking 21 damage, and Kiwina taking 22.
((I'll put a map up once the others respond so I have a better idea where everyone is.))

Elyas comes to with a start, scrambling to his feet and looking for where the hounds are coming from. until he has a better view of where they are he decides to bolster his companions instead of attacking what he can't see. he speaks some arcane words, and the world around seems to slow down as the group becomes faster!

(OOC: The very early morning Friday post was actually the Thursday DM post, which seems to have been the source of the confusion. Recall that we are in many different time zones, including international, so posting times can be a little wonky.)
Rolth continues to war chant, mixing in a roar of rage, as he moves up to confront the hellhounds. Finally, he gets to test his mettle against these foul creatures that stalk his homeland! He unleashes a series of powerful blows against the hellhounds attacking Falco, reckoning that Kiwina is more able to withstand their attacks for a while. If one falls, he will continue his attacks against its fellows. He is quite pleased to have the additional quickness that Elyas' magic contributed. He'll use that to try to position himself in such a way that blasts of fire will not catch him and any of his allies at the same time.

As the hell hounds move in, Kiwina tries to jab one with his longer weapon (AoO hits AC 18 for 3 points damage), but then he is among them. The spear in his hands shrinks and thickens into a great club, and he lays about with that and his hooves.
(The first strike with the great club hits AC 21 for 13, second misses; hooves hit AC 25 and 18 for 6 and 3 damage)
Meanwhile the spirits do what they can to try to slow the hounds, causing the plants in the area to twist and twine around them (and possibly those fighting them, depending on how carefully an entangle can be located).

Esmerelda jumps up at the sound of the pot being banged. Her fur is sticking straight up and she looks like a giant puffball. She is outraged at having her beauty sleep disturbed by these mutts! She locates Tsak and charges to attack the same target.
(OOC Esmerelda has trip, but I'm not sure how to use it? Is that an extra dice roll or does it go off the attack roll for her bite?)

Falco lets out an undignified squeak as so many of the attackers charge directly at him.
"I am not your chicken dinner!"
As he yells he falls back a step and lets a pair of arrows fly.

Mak fires several arrows, but all of them unfortunately miss, even with his bonus.
Rolth unleashes a single powerful blow, and manages to injure one of the hellhounds attacking Falco.
Kiwina strikes out, his first attack connecting, and his first hoof attack connecting, all others unfortunately miss or slide off of the toughened hides of these creatures.
Tsak and Esmerelda also strike out, missing all the creatures. ((OoC: What you do, is as a Free Action, make a normal attack roll for Esmerelda, if it beats the target's CMD, the target is tripped. It doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity for Esmerelda))
Falco lets some arrows fly, but only the second finds it's mark.
((OoC: All secondary notes read, and post is updated to reflect that, i.e. extra attacks/less attacks etc))
The hell hounds, still full of fire and fury continue their attack, three of the five attacking Tsak move onto Rolth, they all attack their targets, three against Rolth, two against Tsak and five against Kiwina. They all bite out at you, there terrible teeth and terrible jaws biting deep into you...
Rolth his struck once, Tsak is almost injured but the haste helps him avoid the attack, Kiwina is bitten twice, but again, thanks to the haste avoids a third bite.
Rolth takes 11 damage, Kiwina takes 25.

Falco moves to insure he can catch as many of the hounds as possible before he whispers another prayer. "Warper-sar aid me in brinding change. Warp their attacks."

seeing the dogs start to crowd in, elyas lets loose a burst of sparkling dust, clinging to the hounds and making them easy to see

Kiwina can't take many more attacks, and decides to leave the five hounds attacking him behind. As he makes a full move away (100'), the hounds find it hard to hit him. (AC 22 vs any AoO due to mobility feat).
The aumakua, who were casting an entangle the previous round, cover the hounds Kiwina left behind and as many of those on Tsak as they can without entangling Tsak himself.
===== Ranger: 1 - magic fang, speak with animals Druid: 0 - create water, flare, purify food and drink 1 - CLW, faerie fire, obscuring mist Aumakua: (used) ranger spell Storm burst: used 0/6 times
Tsak and Esmerelda twirl and whirl trying to attack the four-legged fiends whilst not getting roasted or mauled. From the corner of his eye Tsak sees the sticky strands of Kiwina's spell and does his best to avoid them. He hopes Esmerelda has the sense to do the same.
(OOC I have some hit dice to catch up on for Esmerelda, should I do it here or at the LootNBooty?)
Kiwina tries to move away, two of the hellhounds reach out to attack him, but both miss as they cannot see.
Tsak and Esmerelda continue to attack, but only one attack connects, however it is enough to finish off one of the Hellhounds. ((Do it in the LnB please))
Some of the hellhounds move some to attack Rolth, some to attack Falco, and some to continue attacking Tsak.
Tsak is struck by one (H5) of the two hellhounds attacking him (H4 and H5) for 10 damage.
Rolth is attacked by H2, H3 and H6 with H2 and H3 managing to hit him. For a total of 23 damage.
Falco is attacked by H7, H8 and H9, however only H8 manages to connect for 14 damage.

OOC: If these were normal Hellhounds Mak would have hit his all three times. Standard Hellhound is AC16 and I haven't seen any concealment rolls in the list. Targeting H7, H8, and H9 in that order. Attack 1: 32, Damage 14 hp; Attack 2: 21, Damage 17; Attack 3: 20, Damage 20; Attack 4: 13, Miss. Attack 1 hits based on previous performance, not certain about the others.
Mak was disappointed that his aim at the center of mass on those hellhounds wasn't as effective as targeted shots, so he started to aim at critical points on the hellhounds. Starting with the one he targeted last Mak worked his way down the line in from of Falco. The first arrow buried itself deeply in the creature, but the chaos, Mak's quick shots, and movement of combat kept him from seeing if the other shots had any effect.

Falco yelps as he is again the focus of an attack by too many hellhounds. He knows others are injured as well but if he falls he will be of no help.

Elyas looks between the melee of friends and enemies, considering dropping an area spell there, but he can't find a good way to do it without catching his friends in another web (or worse..)
Seeing falco facing down 3 hounds, he decides it is best to help there. he quickly steps to the side, stretching out a hand. lightning races through all three beasts!

Kiwina - Highlight to display spoiler: {They managed to make their saves I'm afraid, they were clearly slowed by the entangling, but still escaped.}
Mak fires off another three arrows, immediately felling one of the creatures.
Falco moves away, and heals himself.
Elyas casts a mighty lightning bolt, only one of which manages to partially avoid, the other two (H7 and H9) are hit by the full force of the blast.
Rolth lashes out again, just as one of the creatures falls to the injuries he inflicted on the previous round. His attacks hit home and two fall under his furious assault.
Kiwina lunges forward further injuring H9, it whimpers in pain, clearly very injured.
Tsak and Esmerelda both swing and claw and bite furiously. but none of their attacks manage to land on the infernal canids.
The five remaining hellhounds all begin to whimper and, as if they know the battle is going against them, start running off together away from the camp, leaving disturbed foliage and broken flora in their wake, you could easily track them back to their lair should you choose, either now or in the morning once you've fully rested.

Rolth is exhilarated, despite his post rage fatigue. "Finally, to have defeated such foes! Nice work, Petals! Elyas, that spell was electrifying! I proposed that we continue our rest after healing up, then track them down in the morning and put an end to the threat they pose to travelers here. What do you think?"

Elyas prepares to fire off another lighting strike after seeing how effective the first one was. seeing the hounds start to retreat, however, he lowers his hands and rejoins the group.
those are quite dangerous beasts. we should certainly track down their lair in the morning to make sure they cannot waylay and probably kill less prepared groups of travelers.
as the team heals up and gets ready to settle in for the rest of the night, Elyas tries to recall what he knows of Hell hounds. are they common in this region? is it normal for them to attack an armed camp like this? was Mak correct in musing that these were tougher than they should have been?

Tsak is unsure whether tracking the beasts is the right thing to do. There must be balance in the wold and it's not the Petals job to make everything safe. It's only a thought and he will happily go with whatever the party decision is.
The half-orc spends some time fussing over Esmerelda and telling her what a good job she did. For her part the cat seems to have taken it in her stride as she calms quite quickly and seems ready to get on with whatever's next.

Rolth takes a trophy and prepares to get some more rest.
Mak is surprised at how hardy they were for things that just appear to be dogs.
Falco takes a last couple of potshots at the fleeing animals and is rewarded with a whimper.
Elyas things what he knows about Hellhounds - Highlight to display spoiler: {The hellhounds were unusually resilient. There may be something off about them, or they are just hardier survivors. However, hellhounds are relatively common in this area, you won't trip over them, but you can find them easily enough should you particularly want to. They will sometimes attack camps if they feel they have the upper hand because of numbers.}
Kiwina expresses suprise.
Tsak agrees with the party, despite a little personal conflict.
The party rests up and awakens the next day, feeling like they had a good, restful night's sleep, or at least as good and restful as you can get on the ground. You all get moving in the direction the hellhounds went, but after a little while, it seems you may lose the trail, perhaps the hellhounds slowed down, you will need to see if you can pick it up again.

Mak had shot a few durable arrows and sought to collect them in the daylight. He removed two from one of the dead hellhounds and searched for the others that might have missed their target. As for tracking, once again Mak wasn't much help, but he studied the way Kiwina was looking at them in the hope that he might learn how to track himself.

Rolth thanks Falco profusely for the healing, and tries to help Kiwina with the tracking. He manages to find one foot print that Kiwina didn't already point out, although it probably didn't really help much!
"Elyas, that lightning bolt was very exciting! What magical tricks do you have planned for this morning's ambush of the remaining hounds? I might be charging in, but don't want to get in the way of arcane awesomeness!"
Rolth keeps a wary eye out as we advance, knowing that they might try to come back at us.

Mak was impressed with Rolth's strategery. It was true of dogs and wolves to lure people in and attack from behind, so he positioned himself such that he too could keep an eye out to their flank.

Kiwina heals and tracks.
Elyas prepares spells.
Mak collects all his arrows.
Falco heals up.
Rolth looks to help Kiwina track.
Tracking the hellhounds through the underbrush is a little difficult, but possible, and Kiwina, helped by Rolth manages it with surprising ease. As it gets towards lunchtime, you come across a small den set into a overhanging stone. The tracks lead directly into it, but you have some time to prepare, before you start.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (57/57 HP | AC: 16; Touch: 12; CMD: 23) | Sunday July 12th, 2020 5:09:34 PM
Rolth looks around at his fellows. "Nice job, Kiwina, you've found them. Now to root out this blight upon the isle. I do wonder whether just rushing in might be a little rash. I've heard stories of them breathing fire. Might be quite nasty if they all do that at once as we come through the entrance. Can anyone protect a couple of us from such flames? That would be most handy. If not, I do have a special anything potion that might help me, but of course that is fairly precious. Having seen their savage pack tactics, I think I'll cast a mirror image just before we go in too. Any other thoughts on what we can do to prepare for this battle?"
Kiwina (Steve M) 52/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None Monday July 13th, 2020 8:49:06 AM "I can ask the spirits to help one of us withstand their fiery breath, but which of us will lead the assault? If we can draw them out, it might be to our advantage. You and I, Rolth, might have problems if there are caves."

Rolth mentions fire protection.
Kiwina says it's possible.
Elyas suggest trying to draw them out.
Tsak wants to stay back this time.
Mak agrees forcing them out is a good idea.
Falco casts a few spells.
While you are discussing what to do, you easily spot a couple of hellhounds come meandering out, standing at the entrance and looking around. They appear to be standing guard, as best as you can tell, and are looking out for any unwelcome visitors.
Please all make a stealth roll.

You'd think standing still would be easy, but Mak found it to be exceedingly difficult as the pain in his leg decided at that very moment to flare up. Still the soldier gritted his teeth and tried to not alert the creature of their presence. Mak had no intention of moving closer, if he could see them he could shoot them, so he stayed put.

elyas tries to keep out of sight of the creatures, but he is not the sneakiest person around [stealth = 15]
He wonders if the hounds will pick up Esmerelda's scent and whether that would lure them further out.
DM Dan - Sleep tight, don't let the bed hounds bite... Wednesday July 15th, 2020 2:57:36 AM
The party all tries to hold still and keep watch on the two "guards" at the same time.
The guards just sit there lazily looking around, you're certain they've not seen you and as such, you have the element of surprise.
Here is a Map, you have the element of surprise, however the cave looks like it could hold more than a few more Hellhounds.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (57/57 HP | AC: 16; Touch: 12; CMD: 23) | Wednesday July 15th, 2020 7:02:47 AM
Roth whispers, "Does anyone have a way to seal off the cave mouth? Or kill both the guards quietly? Otherwise, I can charge and probably kill one, and maybe Mak and some of you others could shoot the other one dead? What else should we do to boost our chances?"
If no other fire protection is forthcoming, Rolth will drink his anything potion to gain Resist Energy (fire).

elyas puts a hand on Rolth and speaks a few words. Rolths skin feels cool as a protective layer spreads over him.
[cast resist energy: fire on Rolth. now that I'm 7th level that grants a whopping energy resistance 20!]
if you go in first Rolth, try to stay in our line of sight and draw any remaining hounds out of the cave. I will cast a spell to slow them down and allow us to hopefully pick a few off. don't go into the cave if you can avoid it or you might get stuck too!
Kiwina (Steve M) 52/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None Wednesday July 15th, 2020 7:52:49 PM
Kiwina studies the ground around the cave. If he were to cast an entangle, could that amount to sealing it off for the duration? He can provide himself and one other a resist energy, using his potion and the spirits. He also has a tanglefoot bag and a thunderstone. "If the things breath fire, I assume they're immune to fire and heat?"

Tsak feels a slight tingle over his body, presumably as a result of when Falco looked at him and said some words under his breath. Surely he didn't curse me? How was I to know that was the last piece of apple pie? That was days ago...
He mind wonders as he imagines all the things he might now be capable of (am I invisible? can I fly?), but he pulls it back to the present and concentrates on being ready to fire bolts at large, angry, fire breathing puppies.
DM Dan - The Cave of... well... not WONDERS exactly... Map Thursday July 16th, 2020 2:54:32 AM
((Map is in the header now))
Rolth makes a few suggestions on how to proceed.
Falco makes a point about sealing the cave.
Elyas casts a spell on Rolth
Kiwina asks about Hellhound immunity.
Mak goes along with what is being discussed.
Tsak is unsure as to what has been cast on him.
The hellhounds at the entrance are just lazying around, one of them is even now lying down, but with it's ears pricked up. The other is walking in small circles, pausing to lift it's nose and sniff the air every now and again.
While you are casting spells and discussing what to do, a third hellhound comes out of the cave with something small and black hanging from it's mouth. It also takes a look around before sniffing the air and putting the small thing on the ground, which immediately starts moving and appears to be a hellhound puppy.

Falco shifts from foot to foot waiting, having gotten bitten up pretty good last time he is not willing to fire first.
"That makes sense. Draw them off and see what happens."

If it is, I'm sure we'll be able to find it again, and they are unlikely to move if they have puppies. Also I'm not sure that a fire breathing puppy and a very furry cat are ideal travelling companions...

Elyas sees the hellhound puppy and starts to have second thoughts. do we really have reason to come here and kill them all? They attacked us, but isn't that natural for a predator? Maybe Tsak is right and we are better off inquiring with the locals before destroying this family
Elyas looks around, hoping that others back him up on this. If he's alone in his reservation he will fight with his allies, but he wants to talk it through first
DM Dan - The Cave of... well... not WONDERS exactly... Map Friday July 17th, 2020 3:08:53 AM
Rolth thinks about hellhounds - Highlight to display spoiler: {They are all lawful evil creatures. It's in their instincts. Would it be possible to raise one kindly? Possibly... but most people don't wait to find out, as an adolescent hellhound is not something most people want in their homes.}
Kiwina offers to try to draw the guards off.
Falco waits to see what the party decide.
Mak asks to be sped up again.
Tsak suggests that the party don't attack the nest right now, but ask around first.
Elyas also agrees with the idea of asking the locals.
The party has to decide what it's course of action will be. The hellhounds at this time are apparently being quite lazy and not attacking anything, and seem to be licking their wounds from the fight you had against them, so they are vulnerable and injured. Now would be the best time to attack, as if you return later they may be back to full strength, and this time, they won't retreat.
However, if it's not necessary to destroy the nest, is it worth the risk? After all they are doing what they are born to do, they just follow their instincts.
What consensus does the party come to?
Kiwina (Steve M) 52/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None Friday July 17th, 2020 10:47:07 AM "Naweo also have children, but evil is in their nature.

Falco shakes his head as he finds the Petals standing around.
"So... Hellhouds are bad, which is hard to believe. I really don't want to get bit all up again but I can start shooting arrows if you like."
He might be concerned that the spells he cast are being wasted in a situation the clearly calls for action.

Rolth says they should be killed.
Falco is a little incredulous.
While the Petals are discussing what to do another hellhound with a pup comes out of the cave and drops the pup, letting it wander around a little, while the guards kind of lie down looking around lazily. They haven't noticed you or that anything might be up, however, they will probably notice you soon if you don't act.

he moves to where he can look into the cave mouth slightly, then pulls out something odd from his spell pouch. a little octopus tentacle! he starts a spell and creates an area effect to slow down the beasts. but this time instead of sticky webs as you've come to expect from Elyas, a field of rubbery black tentacles appears, burrowing up from the floor and reaching for any creature in the area!

Tsak holds fire and fires at H3 as it appears.
The first two hellhounds go down quickly and without so much as a howl, H3 appears and then howls loudly obviously trying to attract the others to it and it strikes out at Kiwina, doing 17 damage.

even though they didn't capture any hounds the first time, the tentacles continue to thrash in the cave, grasping at anything that moves. CMB = 16 this round, 8 damage and grappled for anything that the roll beats. [ooc: rolled a 3 last round, a 4 this round... these really are supposed to be cooler than this... at least it is difficult terrain]
Elyas moves forward to cast another spell. he knows it has been effective in the past to use haste, but now the group is too spread out for that to work. for now he simply fires a cluster of missiles at the center hound.
[ooc: let's just skip the to hit rolls then! magic missile for 15 damage]

Mak fired at the center hound as well in the hope that it too would perish under an onslaught of missiles.

Rolth begins an inspiring war chant, while looking into the entrance to see how many adults might be left. As part of his chant, he weaves in a plea for the hellhounds, calling out, "Leave this island forever, or you and your young will be destroyed!". He will take an attack of opportunity if any try to move past him without coming to terms. His mirror image, rage, and resist fire continue.

Kiwina wants the archers to have an unimpeded view of the cave mouth, so he takes a short step away from H3 to S6/T7. There he divides his weapon into a trident and a light mace while the aumakua cast their spell.

Tsak lets fly another two bolts at the newest hellhound (H3).
DM Dan - The Cave of... well... not WONDERS exactly... Map 2d6=10 ; 2d6=6 ; Wednesday July 22nd, 2020 4:49:03 AM
Falco takes a couple of shots, but misses both.
Elyas opens fire with a spell that unerringly strikes it's target.
Mak finishes off H3 with his attacks.
Rolth makes a loud declaration Highlight to display spoiler: {There are the two remaining hellhounds, and it would appear five more inside the cave, the ones inside the cave look smaller, and for the first time you realise these hellhounds you've been fighting are angried and more vicious than you would have expected}
Kiwina moves to a more advantageous position.
Tsak fires are at H4, his first bolt striking true.
H3 has fallen, and two more have taken up the fight, you can all still hear some growling from inside the cave. The two hellhounds at the mouth both breath fire, one on Kiwina, one on Rolth.
Both make a reflex Save, DC17 for half damage. Kiwina your fail damage is 10, Rolth it's 6.

They seem more vicious than ever, so I guess coming to terms is out of the question. So be it. Back to the Pit with you, fiends!"
When the flames erupt, Rolth flinches, but then basks in the warm glow as Elyas’ spell protects him completely. He continues with his attacks, now against H5, all the while voicing his inspiring war chant.

Mak pulled his bow thrice more. His first arrow broke on the rocks of the cave, The second grounded at the hounds feet, and the third caught an errant gust of wind and went wide. He'd missed all three times. Mak stepped forward and prepared to get a closer shot.
OOC: Mak takes a 5' Step and moves to E16.

Kiwina ducks the wrong way to avoid the fiery breath of the beast, but the spirits protect him.
He retaliates with a series of attacks against H4: trident at +6 (including +1 MW weapon, -2 two weapons) -- AC 17 for 8 dmg trident at +1 (including +1 MW weapon, -2 two weapons, -5 2nd attack) -- AC 17 for 8 dmg light mace at +6 (including +1 MW weapon, -2 two weapons) -- AC 19 for 3 dmg hoof at +5 (including -2 secondary attack) -- AC 22 for 8 dmg hoof at +5 (including -2 secondary attack) -- AC 16 for 5 dmg

the tentacles continue to wave around lazily, not really doing much of anything (another 3 on the die for a 15 vs CMD)
Elyas lets loose another set of magic missiles, against whichever of the two visible hellhounds are still standing. (H4 if they are both still alive), doing 14 damage
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (63/63 HP | AC:14; Touch: 10; CMD: 21) | d4+8=12 ; Wednesday July 22nd, 2020 3:52:22 PM
Forgot to add the damage for Rolth’s critical hit with his bite vs H5. Please add 12 hp of damage, if it matters. Thanks!
Tsak fires another two shots, changing targets (H4) as the foes topple to the Petals onslaught.
Both bolts fly high and to the right. He does a finger wave of SORRY to Kiwina as he almost takes one of the taurs ears off.
I mean, I'm not saying you're fat mate, it's just hard to aim at that little puppy that's hiding behind you.
Kiwina (Steve M) 57/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None Thursday July 23rd, 2020 10:57:02 AM
Hearing the shout, Kiwina glances at Tsak and then back at the slavering, fanged beast with glowing red eyes and smoky breath, five feet tall at the shoulder. . . Little puppy might seem funny someday, maybe.

Rolth lets out a flurry of attacks, but only one strikes true.
Mak misses his shots.
Falco strikes true with one attack.
Elyas' spells impact again with enough force to make H4 howl.
Tsak misses with his shots.
The two very angry hellhounds both make full attacks against Kiwina and Rolth they are injured, H4 is looking particularly bad. But they both make a couple of quick snaps with their jaws, both of them grabbing flesh both times, for 27 damage to Kiwina and 29 damage to Rolth.

Rolth looks over the carnage toward the devilspawn pups, and has an idea. "I wonder if they will follow a new alpha?"

Rolth roars and unleashes a flurry of attacks against the Hellhound.
Falco keeps shooting.
Mak fires a shot hitting.
Elyas flings some acid for a hit.
Tsak fires a few more bolts.
After a flurry of blows and attacks the two hellhounds outside go down whimpering before breathing their last, you hear a barking sound, loud and angry as five hellhounds come pouring out of the cave. These hellhounds look smaller than the ones you've been fighting, but are actually about the size you'd expect... the previous ones you've fought all of a sudden seem a little bit TOO large for what they are.
The hellhounds immediately try and attack Kiwina and Rolth, focussing on Rolth with three attacking him. The first scores a critical hit, doing 15 piercing and 8 fire damage, the second one also manages to bite him for 6 piercing and 5 fire damage.
Kiwina manages to avoid both of the bit attacks coming his way.

as the new hounds emerge, the mass of tentacles finally perk up, grabbing several hounds and squeezing them! [black tentacles roll = 29 vs CMD or become grappled. the tentacles constrict for 10 damage to each]
Elyas then flings another set of missiles at the hound not in the tentacles. 16 auto-hitting damage

Mak hobbled forward to aid Rolth and stopped about thirty feet away as he sighted on the hellhound and fired his bow. Since he was rushed he aimed at the center of mass and fired. (SH4). His arrow buried deep in the dog like creature and with hope ended it's assault on the cat man.

Falco's two shots strike true.
Kiwina's flurry of blows does some serious damage, finishing off SH1
Tsak shoots at SH2 instead, injuring it.
Rolth let's loose, his mirror images starting to help a bit more, but he deals considerable damage, immediately felling SH4 and SH5, as Mak's attacks had already wounded SH4.
The two remaining hellhounds don't give up the fight and both try to attack Kiwina, however, both miss, leaving them open and exposed.
You can hear from inside the cave that there is the soft barking of puppies.

Mak took a small step up and fired again. This time he aimed for the beasts heart. With a little luck he could bring it down in short order. His first arrow lanced out and struck true. Mak was very satisfied with the results and fired again, but his hurried shot went wide as he prepared his final arrow, aimed, and let the arrow loose. The last arrow missed as well. Mak decided he'd have to get closer.

Mak heard the puppies squealing inside the cave and ceased firing. He knew they had to die, just as those infected with the heartseed had to be killed. Age didn't matter, the evil that consumed them would eventually blossom and threaten anyone near them. It was the nature of evil things in his experience.

The Hounds Tooth clan of Nantyr, whom we seek, is dedicated to bringing balance. I wonder whether we can bring them these pups, and see what they can make of them. It seems worth a try before just slaying them out of hand. I don't know if anytaur has ever tried such a thing. Can we at least try?" If the party goes along with it, he will try to help those who have some skill with beasts by playing a song, even using fascinate if it seems like it might help.
Tsak watches as SH2 dances around Kiwina's weapons and hooves. Picking his timing he launches his bolts as the hound is exposed whilst trying to evade a flying hoof.
Happy to do whatever with the pups mate, although I suspect that if they are to travel with us you had better keep them out of Esmerelda's sight.?

Mak fires and further injures SH3
Elyas' tentacles injure SH4 and finish of SH3
Kiwina's attacks hurt SH4 further, it's still standing but on it's last legs by the looks of things.
Rolth suggest finding a way to bring the pups along with you.
Tsak finishes off SH4 with his attacks.
As you enter the cave you notice that surrounding it, all the trees and plants are really dead, all cruelly imitating life. The cave itself is filled and emanating a horrid stench, a smell you all know, that sickly sweet smell of death and decay. Inside there are bones strewn about from all sorts of creatures, some of the bones still have flesh hanging on to them, perhaps that is where the smell comes from? It is like some sort of macabre carpet or flooring. You can see the odd backpack torn open and empty around as well.
There are four pups in here, who are growling at you, but clearly unsure. Rolth's song does a little to calm them down, but they still seem remarkably aggressive. You could perhaps bring them along, but would need to find some way to transport them.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (34/63 HP | AC:12; Touch: 8; CMD: 19) | Thursday July 30th, 2020 6:19:24 AM "any of you outdoorsy types have any ideas how to wrangle these pups? It’s a bit beyond my skill set. I suppose we should make sure that Nantyr’s remains aren’t here, and maybe see if there is any magic Or other loot left over from their victims."

The smell was all too familiar to Mak and brought back memories of himself buried in that pile and too injured to pull himself out. "We should make certain no one is alive in all that, at the very least." he commented as he leaned his bow in a clean spot and waded in to start searching the carnage.
Perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { Mak is trying to hide it, but he's deeply disturbed by the bodies and the smell. His hands are shaking and he keeps catching his breath as he hides just how frantic he really is here.}
Kiwina (Steve M) 57/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None d20+5=12 ; Thursday July 30th, 2020 11:49:52 AM
Kiwina considers Rolth's request about the pups, and finds it a bit odd. Kiwina himself does not have much experience dealing with animals, but tries to calm the pups. (Handle animals = 12) At least he will try to determine if the pups breathe fire yet -- he does not have any hope of containing them if they do.

(Perception=29) Tsak has a bit of a look around, checking for any signs of life. The smells and sights don't particularly bother him, he's endured worse. He notices Mak's obvious discomfort.
I'm gonna wander back outside to keep guard. It wouldn't do to be surprised and trapped in here if more hounds, or anything else, is about. Anyone wanna join me?
DM Dan - The Pups! Friday July 31st, 2020 3:08:35 AM
Rolth asks about wrangling the pups.
Falco does some healing.
Mak starts looking through the bodies.
Kiwina tries to calm the hellhound pups.
Tsak searches through some of the bodies, then goes on guard.
As Tsak searches through the bodies, he discovers a Rod of some description, it appears to be the only thing there. There is nothing else living other than the pups, which still seem a little aggressive. Kiwina's attempts to calm them down and get control of them don't seem to be doing much unfortunately.
The party, picking up the rod, also realises hellhound pelts can be valuable for their fire resistant properties, once made into proper clothes, so they may be worth something to get. ((Survival check, DC 14 to skin the Hellhounds properly))

Once they were certain no one was living in the heap of bodies Mak took up Tsak's offer and went outside to help guard. While he was there he he tried to wash himself as best he could with his limited supply of water.
"If we happen upon a river, I'll be tempted to not dive in right away. Even smelling like a fish would be better than this." Mak commented dryly.

Elyas casts light inside of the cave, letting everyone search around more easily. he then works to ID the rod, knowing that these are often very useful for people such as himself...
spellcraft = 18
if he can't figure it out now, he'll take it with him and try again with aid from a spell next time he preps spells
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (42/57 HP | AC:16 Touch: 12 CMD: 23)| d20+9=13 ; Friday July 31st, 2020 11:03:39 AM "thanks for the healing, good a Falco. Alright, I guess we leave the pups here and see what the tribe wants to do about them. At least we restored the natural balance by killing the evil adults. And the pups won’t starve with all this meat lying about. Let’s get these skins and move on. Someone want to help me with that?"
Survival = 13, just need one helper to succeed
Kiwina (Steve M) 57/74 HP | AC:18 | HeP: 6 | Status: None d20+17=36 ; Friday July 31st, 2020 11:03:45 AM
Kiwina works on skinning the hounds (survival = 36), thinking that even if they're not worth a lot of money they will be a welcome sight to the liontaurs.
"I haven't been able to calm the pups, and these skins may be the only thing to carry them in if they're able to burn through things. What do you want to do, Rolth?"
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (42/57 HP | AC:16 Touch: 12 CMD: 23)| Friday July 31st, 2020 6:50:54 PM "let’s move on."

Tsak casts a stern eye toward Elyas If that rod is useful in creating beer or whisky I'll be needing it back mate? Fireballs or whatever, you can keep it.
Once they've sorted themselves out Tsak takes point as they head off again in search of politiks...
