Asher TN 20 in Defense Stance
Jadzia TN 5 In Full Attack Stance

Asher is making his way through the streets when the conflict breaks out, he is shocked at the creatures that seem to be coming toward him, and calls for his loyal bodyguard to help. But even she seems.... put off by the type of threat approaching.

One of the twisted beasts snarls and catches their scent, a mocking grin appears as it senses their fear, and it begins bounding towards them!

(D2, EN: Initiative | 4k3 ⇒ 12 (TN: ?) - Attack stance

Ghul closes the distance and is engaged, Asher and Jadzia are up)

Hungry Dead EN2 Jadzia Full attack on ghoul, Gorilla Smash! | 4k4 ⇒ 17 (TN: 20) (Miss)

Asher moves back from the conflict going on, as Jadzia takes a wild swing at the creature, but the Ghoul avoids the hit easily.

Enraged at the massive beast that would dare challenge it the ghul falls upon Jadzia. Its claws tearing up tufts of fur as drags her head back to bite deeply into her throat.

(Complex action attack
D2, EN: Full Attack Jadzia - 2 raises for damage | 6k4 ⇒ 24 (TN: 15)
D2, EN: Damage, +2k0 from raises | 7k2 ⇒ 16 (TN: ?)

Asher is 40 feet away from the Ghul, Jadzia is engaged.

Hungry Dead EN2 Asher Animal Handling | 1k1 ⇒ 9 (TN: 20)

Asher moves back further, whistling for Jadzia to come, but he is still hesitant about it, still trembling a little.

Hungry Dead EN2 Jadzia Full Attack | 4k4 ⇒ 24 (TN: 20)

Hungry Dead EN2 Jadzia Damage | 5k2 ⇒ 21 (TN: ?)

The monkey doesn't listen immediately, instead taking another swing at the creature and connecting.

The two bestial forces of savage might, living and dead, were a snarling snapping maelstrom of violence as Asher watches on. Each inflicting vicious wounds on the other.

Though, from what he could tell, it seems that his companion may be suffering the worst of it. Her howls and screams becoming more fearful than enraged.

(Complex Attack
D2, EN: Full Attack Jadzia, 2 raises for damage | 6k4 ⇒ 46 (TN: 15)
D2, EN: Damage, +2k0 from raises, -5 reduction | 7k2-5 ⇒ 23 (TN: ?)
Throat attack does trigger this time

D2, EN: Throat Attack damage, +2k0 raises, -5 reduction | 6k1 ⇒ 13 (TN: ?) 8, forgot to put the -5 in the code

Jadzia has taken more than half her wounds, combined with Fear she's going to run regardless of orders. Animal handling will allow Asher to have her definitely run in his direction. Otherwise, while going toward him is more likely, it will be determined randomly 1-7 towards Asher, 8-10 away from Asher)

12 - Ghul - Full Attack -TN10 - 16 Wounds

Hungry Dead EN2 Asher Animal Handling, spending void | 2k2 ⇒ 5 (TN: 20)

Hungry Dead EN2 Jadzia Flees | 1k1 ⇒ 3 (TN: 8)

Asher again Calls for Jadzia, but she doesn't seem to hear him, then at the last moment she breaks heading in his direction quickly. Asher leads her away from the Ghul, attempting to find safety.

Asher TN 20- Defense
Jadzia TN 16 - Defense

The chase is long and exhausting but, even with Jadzia's wounds, the adrenaline of their fear allows them to push through. The ghul keeps pace with them for a terrifyingly long length of time before getting distracted by a whimper of terror from a merchant hiding behind a stall. The beast launches itself to feast upon the paralyzed woman choosing the easy meal over the fleeing one.

(Everyone's Water 2 so they make their eventual escape as it can't both move to catch up and attack at the same time... unless Asher is feeling so heroic as to go back and fight it over its next meal while Jadzia likely keeps running....)

Asher considers for a half a moment trying to help the woman, but between the fear, concern for Jadzia, and his own nature, he doesn't.




Hungry Dead EN2 Perception Check, Void | 6k3 ⇒ 20 (TN: 15)

(1 FR for Hungry City 2)

Though Asher may not know much of ghuls he was able to conclude that some other force was driving them. Not in any controlled fashion, like an organized attack, but they were reacting to or fleeing from something.
