like a furry centipede. i.e., grinder first.

No, eating dirt, like a worm will do.

Semantics.
Not really like any creature I know. We'll eat soil, root, and rhizome alike.

Don't forget Russia.
Romney didn't.

Anyways, how about...oh, some South American country?

You could try, if you looked for them. The biggest problems will be communication and convincing them to do it.

Just because you can jump/are magic doesn't mean you can pull your feet/hooves out of 3-4 ft of solid EARTH

Requires good timing--displace the dirt far enough that the unicorn falls in, not far enough that it can hop out before the dirt comes back.

Also give Gwen saber? and allow her to displace/blink on top of charging unicorn and kill it!

What? "Here, honey, catch! Hopefully it's not too different than all the swords you've ever practiced with!"

Have you ever heard of "getting enormous stab wounds in your torso tends to be lethal, you video-game-expecting fool?" 

Pfff. That's why I don't want to stay defenseless while hoping that time jump will work

We've jumped through time before, Ranger. We can do it again. We know we can do it.

You're assuming failure means death. Heck, you're assuming a low success equals death! I'm guessing failure will either mean we don't displace ourself or we don't displace ourself as much as we intend, not that we die or go all frozen.

Yes, I assume that standing still and doing nothing will get us killed, of cause we may dodge and so on, but that means  multitasking penalty

We can jump forward in time without existing, and fail without being frozen, and you know what? Success means we'd be catapulted into the future, not that we'd get frozen.

Minor success should be better than death  but will not save us from danger
Those unicorns needs seconds to get to us. We can't attempt spell and then do something else. Also. we are casting powerful spell at ourself, failure may have other consequences expect nothing

1. Why not? The unicorns would probably move on after we aren't around, threatening their foal and all.
2. We have a lower chance of failing at eon manipulation than combat, and failure at combat rolls has a known effect: death, or at least maiming. I'd say that the option with a higher chance of success and a lower chance of horrible injury on a failure is better.

I vote displace ourself and run.

What? Running from a spearheaded charging horse that is 100ft away isn't a good idea... It's worse than meeting it with spear, it's worse then jumping aside in the last moment,  it's worse than falling to the ground and letting it to trample, hell it's worse than trying to jump on it's back or using animal empathy to calm down\scare it away. Running by foot is a plain suicide

Run after we displace...why did I type "and run"? I meant something like "displace TO run," I think.

____________________
Edit:  if we jump away and Gwen will not... she may either get killed or severely injured and pissed at us. In fact she may view as a coward even if she escapes too.

All that this jump may do - reduce loses, we can't gain anything (expect gift of cowardice ) Even rolling 20 will likely do nothing exceptionally good.

Well, what can we gain by fighting? Unicorn horns on the off chance that we beat two superior opponents, honor no matter what. On the other hand, severe injuries are all but certain if we fight and death is probable. On the other hand, running has a MUCH lower chance of death, and while we might lose "honor," we'd gain points from anyone looking at how we avoid getting ourself killed.

They are charging at us NOW, there are no time for giving saber, chatting and doing anything else, we are limited to few actions... I'd prefer to stay with spear and do dirt displacement, but that "jump away with huge risk of death and gain nothing in the best case scenario" is winning

Huge? That's like a huge failure, and we have about a +6 to eon manipulation. On a d20. When success is at least a 10. Yes, the 15% chance of any kind of failure gives us a huge chance of dying.

We have bonuses to magic, and no bonuses to combat.
Remember who wanted to get those combat bonuses?
Me.  What did we get?  A nice voice.  I had a feeling this would happen.

Yeah, yeah. Why do you think we're not trying to fight?
This isn't Final Fantasy, we don't need to kill all our problems. And anyways, we've been getting excellent mileage out of most of our skills.[/s]

Darn. Um,  wasn't expecting 19 replies after I got back...probably shoulda posted before I left...lemme read the update...

Hitler's army did well in the beginning
But sort of collapsed near the end

...He'll do worse than Hitler!

So, whom of you thought playing this game was a good idea?

Which game?

Anyways, who're we waiting on? Austria?
