Ooh, that sounds cool. Yeah I'll go for Animal handling at the next opportunity. Thann will think to himself, you're a long way from driving Elk with your granddaddy... Thann, assuming that he can see where Milly et al are standing, will try to nudge the beast in their direction. Otherwise, it'll be...

Sorry Henry!

Thann will spend the party's last game point, and dramatically leap onto Owly's back, using one of the fat ticks as a springboard.

Hopefully once it takes flight, it'll notice Milly's frantic arm waving from the clearing.

Done, in the signature. Yeah I seem to recall spending one avoiding certain death. It just didn't come up when I searched for 'spend' and 'game point' in my posts.

I apologize for the mixup, I didn't reply to that post immediately after reading it, and I missed the bit about Henry going down. We don't need to retcon the other characters closer, I did realize that Milly was at the clearing away from the tree, I was mostly having them do 'something', rather than...

Thann will dive in past his cousin, and stab down with authority on one of the blasted ticks. I'll spend a - GAME POINT - for him to rock a nice nat 20 on this roll. Hopefully Henry has a bit of luck on the other one. Milly will wave her arms frantically. Cholum is probably getting pretty antsy want...

A cursory search shows that I've spent 2/4 game points. That sounds appropriate doesn't it?

One was for a nat 20 for Chevo's attack, and another was for Owly showing up to rescue the team.

Milly will try to attract Owly's attention with some of her favourite dried meat snacks.

Thann will try to attack a tick on Owly if he can, I'm not sure how wide this branch is, else he'll attack the same one he tried for previously.

I'll have Milly try to get Owly's attention, to see if she can find a way down to the ground where the fighters can help with the ever growing parasites. Chevo will stay down, confused, trying to anticipate Thann's eventual tumble from the branches. Cholum will walk up to the tree, think about climb...

Thann will have to look after himself, and hopefully show Owly what he's up to. He'll attack the tick on the branch that's about to attack him.

It's all good! They're an interesting foe that I've never battled before so I definitely did not expect it! I just live in a part of Canada that is lousy with ticks in the spring, we're always pulling them off our dogs and finding them at home after being at the park... They're the worst, as you can...
