Combat Sequence: 3
Tor somehow finds the wherewithal to remain standing. As the Seeker is distracted by Merin's attempt to paralyze him, Tor will attempt to hamstring him with his sword.
Merin changes his tactic. Remembering his earlier experimentation with fire, he attempts to ignite the clothing and hair of the Seeker.
Kwargrow said:
If Sannit can rise to at least his knees he will throw one of his axes at their attacker hoping to at least stall another charge, keeping the other one ready for defense.
Bolo draws her knives and takes up a defensive position next to Sannit, putting her leg against his side to have a physical touch with him. She will attempt to heal them both.

The Hunter dodges to his right intending to run around San-Bolo and onward to the source of the arrow in his gut.
Merin takes a step toward the retreating Seeker, thinking about setting him ablaze.
Sheldon takes a step toward the retreating Lookout, taking a small block of lighter pine from a pocket as he does.
The Lookout turns away to his left and begins to run from the fray.
Aust seeing his spear sticking from the gut of his felled foe near at hand takes a step toward it.
GM: | One second has passed | |
The Lookout, fleeing from Sheldon-Indigo, takes another stride away, now at a distance of 2 paces, flings one of his knives backward without looking. It is a pathetic attempt.
Sheldon vibrates the way lines of the small wooden block causing it to ignite as he throws it toward the fleeing Shimadow. The lighter pine explodes with vigor as it strike incinerating not only the rough hide covering but also flesh.
OOC:
|
Lookout: Body(10) - 17 = -7 incapacitated, Mind(10) - 7 = 3 severely hindered
|
|
At that instant, Merin, having no need to touch, wills the fleeing Seeker, who as not made enough departing distance, to ignite.
OOC:
|
Seeker: Body(10) - 8 = 2 severely hurt
|
|
The Hunter continues around San-Bolo heading toward Aust-Revan, now at a distance of 2 paces from where he started simultaneously doing something completely unexpected as he removes the remainder of the arrow, dropping it.
OOC:
|
Hunter: Body(7) + 1 = 8 still hurt
|
|
The Seeker rolls on the ground trying to put out the flame, his mind still working as his skin burns.
GM: | Two seconds have passed. | |
Aust, at near full speed, catches his spear in stride and launches it at the coming Hunter. It's an incredibly lucky shot for the distance, the force of the throwing halting all forward motion of the man.
OOC:
|
Hunter: Body(8) - 15 = -7 incapacitated, Mind(10) - 7 = 3 severely impaired
|
|
Bolo who is in bodily contact with Sannit attempts to aide him, making a remarkable effort despite her own injury.
OOC:
|
Sannit: Body(1) + 3 = 4 very hurt
|
|
Indigo, using some of the collected comfrey, attempts to aide herself, also doing some good.
OOC:
|
Indigo Body(2) + 3 = 5 very hurt
|
|
Revan, who had just drawn her bow, eases it back to rest as the Hunter falls.
Sheldon kneels to help Indigo, but fails in his effort.
GM: | Three seconds have passed | |
The Hunter, when he hits the ground, it not dead, but he knows he is done. With perfect clarity in the Ansylin tongue he holds up his left hand and says, "
Wait!"
Aust readies his axe and continues his approach cautiously.
The Seeker slows in his rolling as the damage sinks in.
Sannit, who had risen to a kneeling position preparing to throw his carving axe, holds at the sound of the familiar word and stands with the assistance of Bolo.
Tor realizing his injury has slowed him to the point he had no chance to bring his sword to bear, instead attempts to aide himself as Merin reignites the burning Seeker to finish what he started. Tor is unable to help himself.
As the battle is now finished, Sannit with the help of Bolo approaches the prone Hunter and arrives over him as Aust and Revan arrive as well.
The man speaks in Ansylin with no foreign accent. "
I am done. As one warrior to another, I ask that you finish me quickly. I was paid. I undertook my task. You have beaten me."
As the man begins to lose consciousness he holds his left palm as if displaying the brand there. The brand is an uneven triangle inside a circle.
GM: | Everyone, what do you do? | |
