The survivors once again split into multiple groups, and the cannibals are pursuing. Decisions made in the remainder of the Midnight thread will affect how this goes so only need stats for now, tactics and starting enemy forces to follow.
Basic rules for running:
Every PC is getting a roll modified by agility and stamina Armor applies -10 to the roll, and should the armor be worn for more than 12 hours a -5 stacking penalty applies due to the exhaustion caused by 40 pounds of metal being used in a pursuit. Wounds apply to the roll
NPCs are rolled with stats if they have them or just on the 1-100
Cannibals start at -15 initially as they started behind and took time to organize their hunting parties, starting in round 3 will have unmodified rolls
"Heavy hit" on a result indicates that player is outrun and a fight will ensue.

Survivors in this case refers to the.NPCs as well. Baby is a bit ill this weekend so free time is essentially dead to me.

Leona has agility 40. I never took stamina though.

Round 1:
Leona: 138 (+3 Agility) Kurts: 99 Marlow: 131 (+1 Stamina) NPCs: 104
Cannibals: 21
For long minutes the Westerosi run through the jungle, avoiding roots and branches and skipping through thick underbrush, crossing small streams and more as they leave their pursuers in the dust. The early morning heat comes quickly and sweat glides off their bodies as a need for fresh water will become a necessity in the next few hours, but after forty five minutes or so only distant sounds of pursuit can be heard. They come to a lake about a hundred meters wide and twice that long, the direction left around it a swampy but short run, the right path around it longer and less concealed but with far more sure footing.
Pick directions!

Marlow, conditioned for endurance more than speed, takes the path to the right.

Kurts went left as well, recalling trudging through the swamps of the Neck on his way to the Wall. He would also attempt to shank one of the men running with him with his dagger, non-Crowl, to slow down the individual and hopefully their persuers.

Swamp applies -10 for two rounds. Cleared path has no penalty but will give cannibals an extra +10 'damage' if they manage to outroll during the chase, and takes three rounds to cross.
Leona: 65 Marlow: 140
Kurts: 57/156 Survivor: 61/63
NPCs: 76 Cannibals: 77
Leona and Kurts have difficulty going through the swamp at first, but Kurts manages to get some spare time to stab a man, and his short blade digs deep into his ribs. The sound and violence attracts some wildlife; Leona has a snake land on her head and begin sinuously winding its way around her before she can pull it off and throw it, and Kurts sees a crocodile approaching. Cannibals can be seen coming from the woods toward the lake as the chase continues. Mosquitoes buzz and branches slap faces as they race on and the first of the natives reaches the waters of the swamp.
Marlow thunders along the south side of the lake and on his way sees a tower to his right, about a quarter mile away. Ahead of him the lake continues on for a bit, and behind him he hears sounds of pursuit. Overhead only he can see a circling flying creature; the swamp runners have their vision blocked by the thick canopy.

Kurts shoves the wounded man towards the crocodile and keeps moving.

Marlow continues his run along the lake, not favoring the risk vs. reward of holing up in a tower when he's got momentum already.

Natives now unmodified
Leona: 59 Kurts: 117 Marlow: 51
NPCs: 106 Cannibals: 102
The swamps naturally force the survivors to travel in slightly different paths as crocodiles and mud holes funnel them around areas. Kurts has a chance to break out of the swamp, his heavy armor forcing him to firmer ground which ironically leads him to a bridge of solid land moving towards an old watchtower. Ahead of him and to his right Leona is bogged down as the snake that had fallen on her wraps around her right leg and trips her, while the others press on the original path unhindered, not immediately noticing her plight. The lead natives are upon her as four split off to hunt down Kurts.
Marlow meanwhile is sprinting, but the ground suddenly gives out below his feet as he falls into a shallow sinkhole formed by ants over decades of patient digging. Two natives approach him with their long spears to seek his end.

"Help!" Leona cried. "Help!" She struggled to get free of the snake.

He runs across the land bridge towards the watch tower, attempting to determine how wide it was. If it was narrow enough to only fit one or two men across, he would turn to fight. If it was wider, he would continue into the watchtower and make his stand there.
