Adventure: Protection (Mal Malenkirk)

Sound of Stone breathes deeply, marshalling his reserves of strength. "Friend Artemis. I am sorry, but I will be needing your help soon, I think."

Then, he lashes out with his vicious claws and his spear, raking the two hob goblins and the dog that are in front of him




All the enemies engaging in that area of the fight are down.

Even as the dragon's sparking breath coruscates over his metal frame and arrows puncture him from all sides, Halcyon pounds a hand against his chest with an resounding clang and bellows an exultant war cry, feeling ancient battle instinct kick in and take over. He lashes out with a wild swing at the hobgoblin in front of him, failing to connect but feeling reinvigorated regardless as he sees the fear in the thug's eyes.

He spins to face the fire elemental that has broken through the ranks. "No further," he demands, fixing the thing with an implacable glare.

Mercurial looks around the battle field at all the injuries his new friends are recieving. Sound, drink this! I got your back Orc guy!

Artemis yells and cheers at the display of magic demonstrated by Lenard and Yishim.

When the hobgoblin charges Makira, Artemis stops grinning. After she shoots and spins behind the goon, he growls, "Hey, she said keep the ugly away."

Artemis steps up and slices deeply into the hobgoblin, which lowers it's defenses to allow a blow from Mikara, "Always ecstatic when I get to help such a lady as yourself."

"Don't worry Sound, looks like I'm not the only one keeping an eye on you. Your clutchmates will be proud to hear of your ferocity and bravery. Excellent job Mercurial."

Owen hears the crackle of lightning behind him, smells ozone and feels the hairs on the back of his neck raise as he barely avoids the wyrmling's attack. However, even as his rush moves him to safety, it has broken the line, and allowed an enemy to slip through.

Cursing his own carelessness, Owen takes another swipe at the line of enemies, knocking aside one of the gang's attack dogs. What kind of monsters use innocent animals as weapons like that? His angry growl catches the eye of the dog's handler, even as Owen steps back to take his place in line.

Finding himself behind the foe that snuck past him, as it stares down one of the constructs from the inn, Owen plunges his sword brutally through the creature's form, scattering sparks everywhere and nearly dissipating the creature in one blow.

"Always a sweetie." Mikara grits through her teeth as she attempts to knock the swordsman silly with the end of her bow.

Unfortunately, the swordsman swoons from his grievous wounds at just the wrong time, and the jab goes wide.

"Hold still sunshine, I'm trying to end the pain more quickly"
