an opossum, an animal found in the woods of her homeland (outcompeted in the cities by the nasty big rats)
It's usually harmless but it might bite if grabbed.
She's heard they play dead sometimes.

She will pretend this incident never occurred. Nothing to see here...

Oh, you might want to check IC now...

[ewancummins]

The ponies and mule are domestic animals and you can use Handle Animal untrained to calm them. DC 10 if anyone wants to try.

Between PC alertness and the reaction of the ponies, this isn't a surprise round situation.
Rather, an encounter at unusually close distance.

I haven't rolled initiative because the huge bear has not attacked. Not yet, anyway.

Actions?

I suspect this won't work (or worse, it could backfire), but Klokulf will attempt to affect the bear with cause fear. The Will save DC is 13, assuming the bear has 5 or fewer HD (which I am not confident of).

Okay, Alain does his sneaky stuff, no problem. K-Dawg casts his spell.

Kat?

While Kintire decides...


Huge bear is annoyed by the cause fear spell.
It decides Klokulf looks like supper.
Move and attack, with reach!

just swats at him, not a solid blow

A mere 14 points for that attack.

next round, full attack on Klokulf.Om nom nom if it can.

[ewancummins]

Alain has cast his spell undetected by anybody, including the bear. He can maneuver for sneak attack at the top of next round if he does a double move this round, and not pass within the bear's reach to risk getting hit by an opportunity attack.

[ewancummins]

Bear has improve grab. Adjudicating all that now...

The bear can start a grapple with a standard claw attack, still doing damage, with the initiation of grapple as a free action that provokes no AoO.Of course, this is what's happening.

Skips straight to step 3.

Bear narrowly succeeds. It's grappling!

Well this is pretty much perfect. The target is attempting to nom the expendable distrac... uh...my revered colleague and master, leaving me open to step in behind and flankingly stab it to my hearts content!
