Shields Up

The 'coons will have to roll 20s.Hexes. I'm seeing them a lot these days in games and movies as effects for energy shields or invisibility cloaks, enveloping that awesome ship or sexy covert agent in a shimmering protective grid. At the advice of the folks in the garden shop, a protective hexagonal grid of chicken wire will do the same for my nascent lawn, shielding it from the surprising number of skunks and raccoons in my neighborhood. They've been flipping up large sections to dig for grubs and worms. I was skeptical at first, but it's been remarkably effective in one test area. I didn't buy enough to cover everything, but it seems the coons have only been hitting certain spots. We shall see. Hopefully I'll only need this up for a few more weeks to let the grass's roots grow stronger.

A case can be made for a strong offensive option, though:

I'm trying to talk myself out of buying this, but don't expect much success.

EDIT: Go Bear!
