The roc descends, claws at the ready, a whistling noise heralding death as it soars at you and Paebel. You grab your bow as swiftly as you can and string it. You notch an arrow in the string and start to line up your shot... Paebel fires his first arrow. It goes wide and misses the Roc. Still, it descends. You move your bow and continue to aim, judging the speed, distance and size of the Roc... Paebel fires his second arrow. It hits the wing of the Roc and bounces off. Because of the angle, the rush of air from the Roc's movement buffeting the arrow away or are it's feathers as hard as bronze, as the stories say? The screeching Roc is closing in... 200 paces... 100 paces... 50 paces... 40 paces... TWANG  It's eyes are your target and they are the size of oranges...  Very, very, very fast moving oranges attached to claws which are going to kill you in a few brief moments.  The arrow flies as the Roc moves to meet it... You miss your target. ... ...and lodge the arrow firmly in the center of the roc's forehead. It screams and screeches in pain as it crashes into the dirt.  You manage to dive out of the way at the last moment. A very large, very, very angry bird is right next to you, recovering from it's collision. One of it's legs has snapped. It seems to be very, very much alive and as you climb to your feet it seems to be trying to recover. It's head is facing away from you.  The massive bird is going to be up in a moment and when it does you have...  1. By the time it has recovered you have... A. Shot it in the back with as many arrows as I could manage! B. Moved around to a better position and aim for it's eyes again. This also probably made me a far easier target. C. B., but you tried to cause "arrow-time". D. Leaped on it and try to break it's wing with my bare hands! E. Tried to snap it's neck! F. I tried to invoke momentary "great strength" and THEN snap it's neck! G. I leaped onto it's back and put my arms around it's neck. This way it can't bite or swipe at me with it's claws. I wait to see if it takes flight and try to steer it into the ground again! This option is suicidal and almost doomed to fail. H. Leaped on it with my bronze knife and stabbed at it! If it turns out it's feathers ARE as hard as bronze, I will try to stab between them, which means I will probably do less damage. I. H., but with my lucky stone knife! J. I grab my spear and turn that giant chicken bastard into a chicken shikabab! K. Grab my shield and beat that chicken in the head with it! L. Order the Roc to submit to you! YOU ARE AN OVERGROWN CHICKEN I AM ENKIDEL! I AM THE PACK LEADER! M. With Paebel and Snarls, we ran for our lives! It was wounded and REALLY pissed off so we tried to escape! N. (Optional with any of the above)... and I told Paebel and Snarls to flee! O. Something else. Fill in. Positions and locations in the picture are approximations. The drawing of the roc with the horsie in it's claws is an accurate depiction of what it looks like, minus the horsie and you know, now crashed into the ground.

e: Just saw the answer to my question.. Voting to get out of range and hit it in the face with as many arrows as we can manage. Thinking tactically, we should we able to easily outrun it unless it's capable of using its wings to compensate for its leg... There's no way it should be able to fly again at this point... Also, thinking ahead, the sound of an injured roc might attract some unfriendly guests to the party. There Bias Two fucked around with this message at 16:03 on May 3, 2014 |

J. Leap on its back and stab it where the wing connects to the body. Disable it HARD. It will likely rear up and throw us off its back but one leg and one wing down. It's 70% done Edit: Left shoulder joint. That's where we stab it. Right in the armpit where the feathers are less likely to protect it. Dig the spear deep and twist it. That should ground it good. We're bound by the hunters code not to let an injured animal run off on us. Basscop fucked around with this message at 16:07 on May 3, 2014 |

J O Order them back and then spear the beast at the base of the skull. Bird spines enter into the skull at the base. In this position the spine is stretched and elongated. A quick [???] stomp or a hearty stab will likely kill it.

I vote for this as well However I want to see if we can get arrow time to happen so we can get a good shot on the eye It'll be an easier target now either way but a small expenditure of ??? for heightened reflexes isn't gonna ruin us. The Roc will ruin us though. With its eviscerating talons. Edit: If we do end up stabbing it at least try to aim for the spine guys. Bird bones are hollow, and should be able to be pierced by a big manly man with a bronze tipped spear. If we can cripple its wings and legs all at once, we can shoot it in the eye at our leisure.

JO. Skewer it, but tell Paebel and Snarls to move way back. They both look to be in thrashing range so that even if we're successful, they could be hurt in the roc's death throes. It wouldn't do to have Paebel impaled by a wingtip after we stab the bird in the neck.

Granted, the broken leg makes for a slower push, but the wings can make up for it: http://youtu.be/v1YfpijnWVw I wouldnt count on it needing a running start.

Response to IRC question posted:12:56:05 | <Rekk> Hey Diog, Is our spear suitable for throwing, or is it too long? Blooded Men generally do not use bows because they are strong enough to break them if used at their full strength, so what is the point? A spear such as you use is not a ranged weapon. ...for an ordinary person. With your greater than normal strength and experience with fishing spears, yes, your spear is suitable for throwing. A little practice before using it might not hurt though. A little more strength could not hurt either. No comment if that is appropriate in THIS situation, just answering the question asked.
