Varus: all sense screams 
Varus: shoot it
Blaze_Half-Elf: How does it differ from a raven's normal motions?
arryn: you arent here 
Igfig: it's just circling around, like it was some kind of eagle on a thermal or something
Blaze_Half-Elf: Ah har.
Blaze_Half-Elf: Eh screw it.
Blaze_Half-Elf: "Hey Arryn, have you ever ridden a giant eagle before?"
Varus: oh god
arryn: "no..."
arryn: OH SHIT
arryn: WILL WE FLY
arryn: IG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Igfig: sure!
arryn: ARRYN IS GONNA FLY
Igfig: Giant eagles are big
Igfig: oh man
Blaze_Giant_Eagle turns into a giant eagle.
Igfig: you don't know how happy you just made Arryn
Varus: why??
arryn hops on
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I'm guessing it is a character trait we weren't aware of.
arryn squeels happilly
Blaze_Giant_Eagle takes off after the maybe not raven.
Varus: but shes been on our airship
Igfig: it's not the same
arryn: not the same
arryn: heh
Igfig: when the raven sees you coming towards it, it wheels and immediately starts flying away
Varus: YO FUCK IT UP
Varus: EAGLE IS FASTER THAN SOME FUCKIN RAVEN
arryn: :::::DDDDDDD
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I've got 60 ft. of speed and actions to spare.
Igfig: indeed
Orrin: Eat it.
Orrin: For lunch.
arryn: "follow it"
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Also I actually have to double check stats, so hold on a moment.
Igfig: oh, 60 ft? You're about the same speed then
arryn: "see where it goes"
Varus: its not gunna go back
Varus: if it knows youre following
Igfig: no, giant eagles have an 80ft speed
Igfig: you are faster
Igfig: okay
Igfig: it disappears
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yar I was wrong.
Varus: INTERROGATE IN BIRD LANGUAGE
Igfig: just blinks out of sight
Varus: CLOAK
Varus: GO 
Varus: invisibility
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: That's definitely not something ravens do then.
arryn: "WHEEEEEEEEE"
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I'm going to try and spot it then.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Blaze_Giant_Eagle, 1d20+7: [20] = 27
Igfig: trying to spot an invisible creature? On the... oh for fuck's sake
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I was about to roll since I have advantage, but that's a crit.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I figured worst case scenario it only would take a moment to try and spot it still.
Varus: welp thats going on ooc dnd
Orrin: BLAZer
Orrin: WHAT DO YOU ELF-EYES SEE?
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I could spot a halfling on an erupting volcano with a roll like that.
Igfig: well, I just checked the rules and you can't see an invisible thing at all
arryn: :(
Igfig: and something flying doesn't make much noise at all
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Darn, invisibility isn't like predator cloak in this game.
Varus: would you perhaps
Varus: say 
Varus: that
Varus: THE WIND is on his side
Varus: allowing him to hear the flaps
Igfig: but the winds up here are strong, and they tell you things
Orrin: Uh... smell?
arryn: not much noise is still noise
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yar, cause technically I only have advantage on perception checks with sight, but that was the first roll so it works with any sense, yar.
Igfig quit.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Oh dear.
Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: 	Igfig	and so you can tell roughly where it is, on and off 00:09	Igfig	it's flying away, but it's changed direction to roughly 90 degrees from where it was before 00:09	Igfig	trying to get away
arryn: so it is not a friendbird
Varus: make an eagle noise at it
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yar, so I initiate the swooping after it.
Orrin: Ca-CAW
arryn: 2#1d20+8 to try to shoot
Fortuna: arryn, to try to shoot: [13] = 21; to try to shoot: [18] = 26
Igfig: well
arryn: with disad
Varus: i think you are within range now
Varus: oh but its invisible
Varus: i dont think you can target it at all
Igfig: aye
arryn: its still -yeah
arryn: i can shoot at anything i want
arryn: fuck you
Varus: but only blaze knows where it is
Igfig: ok, before that roll
arryn: he is swooping
arryn: oh
Igfig: well, retroactively before that roll
Igfig: can I get a Wis check to extrapolate its position from where Blaze is heading
Igfig: (Arryn)
arryn: 1d20+2
Fortuna: arryn, 1d20+2: [19] = 21
arryn: :)
Igfig: geez you guys are lucky
Igfig: okay yeah you line it up just right and squeeze off a perfect shot
arryn: BOOOM
arryn: high fives will be exchanged when we land
Igfig: roll damage
arryn: 1d6+4
Fortuna: arryn, 1d6+4: [2] = 6
Igfig: interesting
arryn: can we track the bolt now
Igfig: well, that would be enough to kill any normal raven
Igfig: and, well, let me make a Con save here
Igfig:  1d20+1 vs DC 10
Fortuna: Igfig, vs DC 10: [17] = 18
Varus: you can always choose to not kill a creature
Igfig: the arrow disappears when it hits the invisible raven, I'm afraid
Varus: remember that rule guys
arryn: ok Blaze_Giant_Eagle just grab it
Orrin: EAT IT
Igfig: the raven doesn't die
Varus: is it injured ig
Igfig: it is injured but not dead
Varus: ok
Varus: so 1 hit
Igfig: Blaze still ha an action
Varus: go get 'em guys
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yeah, am I close enough to do something with it yet or do I have to catch up more?
Igfig: you can catch up this round, you're ok
Igfig: so yes you're close enough
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Right, so I think I'll make a grapple attempt to snag it with my talons instead of attacking normally.
Igfig: sure
Igfig: Athletics check then... but with disadvantage I guess
Varus: does he have advantage
Varus: since its all but dead
Varus: it cant dodge very well
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Blaze_Giant_Eagle, 1d20+7: [5] = 12
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: And
Varus: aw
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Blaze_Giant_Eagle, 1d20+7: [9] = 16
arryn: :/
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Might get it still.
Varus: ya
Varus: you are a big ol bird
Igfig:  1d20+3
Fortuna: Igfig,  1d20+3: [19] = 22
Varus: welp
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Dats a nope.
arryn: haha 
Igfig: oog
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Well the luck couldn't last forever.
Igfig: it dodges nimbly between your claws and is gone
arryn: we can still follow it
Igfig: unless you can make another crazy perception check to keep folloing it
Varus: is it bleeding
Varus: from the arrow
arryn: 1d20+6
Fortuna: arryn, 1d20+6: [13] = 19
Varus: dripping blood
Igfig: not high enough Arryn
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: If the arrow is invisible the blood is too, except maybe when the blood drips off of it if any.
arryn: Blaze_Giant_Eagle roll!
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Blaze_Giant_Eagle, 1d20+7: [16] = 23
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Blaze_Giant_Eagle, 1d20+7: [3] = 10
Varus: man dont you guys wish you brought the one with magic missile
Igfig: you didn't need to roll twice for perception
arryn: yay!
Igfig: but either way, alas you can no longer tell where it is
arryn: no Varus cause then youd be here
Igfig: it's gone
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I have advantage for perception checks that vision might help with, yar, not sure if it helps here.
Igfig: not really, this isn't a vision thing
Igfig: it doesn't seem to be dripping blood yet, no
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yar, that second roll didn't really do anything anyways.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Wait.
arryn: we should keep going this way tho
arryn: to see where it was hiding off to
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Right, I can't cast spells while in animal form yet.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Otherwise I actually have locate creature prepared still.
Igfig: heh, cool
Varus: welp
Igfig: are you going to land and cast it, or what?
Varus: nice job FUCKING UP
Varus: theyre over water
Varus: shoulda just killed it
Varus: the thing is carrying an arrow aorund though
Varus: so its probably
Varus: not gunna survive
arryn: yeah flapping around with an arrow would be hard
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I dunno if it is going to return, but normal ravens can't cast spells, and that bird clearly cast a spell.
Orrin: That assumes it's actually a raven.
Varus: its more likely a druid
Orrin: I imagine it is not overly bothered by the arrow.
Varus: or somethign fromchain
Orrin: I think it might be our tiger-demon friend.
Varus: tigers arent ravens
arryn: if it was from chain why would it fly away
Varus: cause chain is  A TRAITOR
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Wait, that is a thought actually, but druids don't get invisibility as a spell I don't think, let me double check.
Orrin: I bet a Chaos Demon could figure out how to turn into a raven.
Igfig: they do not
Igfig: and all demons are chaos demons
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: They definitely do not, so having the winds carry a druidic message to see if the raven will come back even though we shot it is not going to work.
Orrin: I thought the rakshasa or whatever was, though.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: That being said, I should definitely do something similar while I am up here though.
Igfig: rakshasas aren't technically demons
Orrin: FINE
Igfig: different kind of fiend
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Hey Igfig I'd like to make as large a message in Druidic while I'm up here as I can, calling for aid to come to Throneport/Thronehold.
Igfig: like, skywriting?
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Yup, pretty much, and/or see if I can get the winds to carry the message as well.
Igfig: do you have a communication-type spell like Message?
Igfig: for the winds to piggyback on
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: That I don't have, no, so it'd probably just be me writing it into the cloud or something, I've got some wind and that fog cloud spell to work with for that stuff.
Igfig: okay
Igfig: so yeah, just the skywriting then
Varus: please dont waste another level 4 spell
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I wasn't planning on it, none of those spells are level 4 anyways.
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: Just can be cast at it.
Igfig: All right
arryn: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: But yar, according to the text druids spot that stuff automatically, and non-druidic speaking people can spot it with a wisdom 15, but they still wouldn't be able to read it without some kind of spell.
Varus: oh cool
Igfig: You don't know if it'll help or not, but any druids that can see the sky in a, like, 5 mile radius will know what's going on
Blaze_Giant_Eagle flies back to the keep now.
Igfig: All right
Blaze_Giant_Eagle: I don't shift back yet though, I'm gonna stay up on the roof and keep an eye out in case it comes back while not being invisible.
Varus: so i think thats where we end
Varus: plans all ready
Varus: blaze finished with the raven
Varus: unless somethings else to be done
Igfig: yeah, you don't see the raven again
arryn2 joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: And so you all get another rest while the army and navy continue to set up
Igfig: and two hours later,
arryn2: wheeeeee
Igfig: well, by now more like an hour

Varus: ayyyy'
Igfig: and that's where we'll end for tonight.

Fortuna smiles shyly.
