Len

Hearing Cinara's shout for help, Len abandons all his complex, well thought out, and general absolutely genius tactics, and instead charges straight at the nasty scorpion.

OOC:

Charge straight across to AF21 with a Melee Basic at the end, marking the scorpion.

CRUNCH!

Len's battleaxe does a little surgery on the scorpion, Len has to lean hard on the beast to lever his axe free. The creature's hard exterior shell is split open wide- it staggers, bloodied- perhaps looking for reverse gear.

Stirge #1

Is still looking for the sweet taste of Dwarf blood- and of limited intelligence, certainly not put off by its partner's demise- it swoops in to alight, and bite at Kazzagin some more.

Alas Kazzagin is too heavily protected the Stirge is buffeted back.

The creature flutters up in to the air, it's still within reach, but only just- another move will take it away from you.

Kazzagin

If there was one thing Kazzagin wasn't good at, then it was jumping in plate armor. He didn't even consider trying to mimic Thorgrim's feet, instead growling, mostly to Mardred, "Take care of that thing..." He then turned his attention briefly to Cinara to see that she was still healty, before turning his attention to the beleaguered scorpion. The thought did cross his mind that lightning and armor didn't mix, but hopefully this would finish soon. Using his shield as protection from pincers and sting, he struck out with his battleaxe, striking hard into the creature's carapace.

Pinotage · May 30, 2011

The carapace is like stone and Kazzagin's axe slams into it without cutting through it. The jolt sends waves of shock through his arm, but it appears the scorpion suffers from more. It chitters and turns and Kazzagin, trained and prepared for situations like this, takes one step forward, smashes a pincer out of the way with his shield, and coming under the swinging tail, slams his battleaxe neatly into where the creature's nerve-center would be. The axe bites and cuts, cleaving to the carapace and sending the creature twitching for a second or two before it lay still on the ground. He turns to see the last stirge and the mad eyes of Krogan. The battle was won.

Quick post now - will fix later with more detail.

Too slow- the scorpion is dead, crushed by Kazzagin as it attempts to flee... cue Kazzagin's speech.

Which just leaves one Stirge left, fluttering high overhead, more than likely it's about to get as far away as it can from you guys, besides it'll be back to take advantage of the bodies of the recently fallen.

OOC:

Krogan you're up, you need to jump to hit the Stirge...

The Forges of the Mountain King

OOC:

And we're winding down- start to think about what comes next, certainly there's a large hole in the chamber now- from which the Fire Beetles emerged, and funnily enough there's an opening beneath the fallen portal- discovered by Cinara- from which the Scorpion emerged.

Krogan

Pissed that his kill was stolen by his team member (not really, but let`s say I am..), Krogan zeroes in the remaining stirge. The sound of his wings starts to annoy him more than those damn statues, but this he can manage.. with this sound he can do something about it. He remembered the game his father played with him when he was a kid... he would jump as high as he can, while his father would keep something delicious attached on a peace of stick, laughing his ass off while Krogan tried to grab it. Actually, he was furious at his father right now, and he decided that this Stirge will be a suitable target for payback!
With the running start, Krogan stretches his arms, positions his axe in upward motion and with the precision of a cat, takes down the wretched Stirge...

OOC:

I got critical.. Is that (2d12+6)30+ 1d12 dmg?.
