Quickly replacing her mandolin back into her sachel, she instead pulls out two blue colored potions. Take a potion in each hand she swiftly breaks them over her body spilling its contents over her wounds.

OOC: If she takes any more hits, she’s a goner. Not too sure if that’s exactly legal. Use two potions in one round, one in each hand. If not she’ll just use one potion. She'll also take a 5ft step towards thodan.

Thodan

As his spiritual weapon continues to attack one of the harpies, Thodan chants a quick prayer, and reaches out to touch Glandred. Some of her wounds begin to heal as the cleric channels divine power into the dwarf's body. He then casts a look at Nira, and shouts "Nira, come to me, and I will see to your wounds."

OOC: Spontaneously cast cure moderate wounds (2d8+5) on Glandred, dropping one Bull's Strength. Spiritual Weapon continues to attack harpy #3. Attack +6, Damage 1d8+1/x3.

"OK, we'll do this the hardway" Glandred mutters as she sheathes her axes and pulls a crossbow from where it is strapped to her back.

Feeling the healing power of Thodan's spell course through her veins Glandred gives him a quick nod of thanks.

OOC: Full action to sheath and draw. Next round will be load and shoot.

Chik has fallen completely under control of the Harpy's song and since he's finally climbed as close to them as he can, he simply holds onto the tree and continues to listen to their captivating voices.

The summoned eagles having lulled the harpies into believing that they had fallen under their songs power, move next to the harpies, with a shriek of defiance the eagles reveal there true colours by attacking their unsuspecting prey.

One eagle rakes it's sharp claws down the back of the harpy attacking Chik, opening up a deep wound, another attacks the harpy which was mortally wounded by Leonara, sinking it's razor sharp claws into the beast, the harpy gives a faint cry and begins to plummet towards the earth heading towards Leonara, while the final eagle attacks the cunning fireball hurling harpy, which nimbly avoids it.

"Help Chik!!!" Jack yells seeing that his friend is in trouble. Jack takes aim at the harpy closest to Chik, Jack fires an arrow at the harpy which is attacking Chik, with a twang of his bowstring the arrows streaks unerringly towards the harpy and pierces it's back, gravely wounding it.

Leonara tries to get out of they way of the falling harpy but moves to slowly, and receives the full force of the heavy harpy falling on her, whipping the blood from a cut to her forehead out of the way Leonara pulls out another pair of arrows and shoots the most injured harpies, hoping to drop one or two of the creatures, before they retreat once more. Aiming for the gravely wounded harpy that has been attacking Chik, Leonara fires two arrows at it, only one arrow manages to hit, but it is enough to finish off the beleaguered harpy, with a faint cry it plummets to the earth directly towards Glandred.

As the harpy head towards the earth Glandred vainly try to get out from beneath it, but receives the full force of the heavy harpy on top of her, Glandred is knocked completely prone and unconscious.

Seeing Glandred's plight, Thodan steps forward and heaves the body off the wounded dwarf, muttering a quick prayer Thodan reaches out and infuses Glandred's body, with badly needed healing, opening her eyes with a groan Glandred manages to regain her feet, "OK, we'll do this the hardway" Glandred mutters as she sheathes her axes and pulls a crossbow from where it is strapped to her back.

Feeling the healing power of Thodan's spell course through her veins Glandred gives him a quick nod of thanks.

Meanwhile in the air above, Thodan's spiritual weapon manages to open a deep wound on the fireball hurling harpy. Casting a look at Nira, he shouts "Nira, come to me, and I will see to your wounds."

As the harpy crashed into the ground at Leonara's feet, Chik's senses returned to him, appraising the situation quickly Chik points his hand at the adult harpy above him and releases a blast of eldritch energy at the beast, that manages to burn her deeply on her shoulder.

~~~~

Seeing the proximity of the summoned eagles the harpies turn their attention to battling their new foes, all of the harpies pull out their clubs and attack the eagles, all manages to hit their targets but are dismayed to see that they were unable to harm their resilient foes.

The eagles retaliate in like kind, however their razor sharp talons have no differculty in shredding the tough hide of the harpies, in a matter of seconds they managed to deeply wound one of the adults and the fireball hurling harpy, the other adult who is the apparent leader (#1) receives only moderate wounds from the eagles fierce attack.

All the while the grounded harpy continues to take advantage of the Thyrd's helpless state and batters her skull with a deadly blow.

Drinking one of her potions Nira feels it's heeling power works it way thru her body

Her strength restored, Nira steps a bit closer to the Tempus Warrior. The balance must be maintained… With a growing sense of confidence she reaches within her clothes and withdraws what looks like to be a few small reptilian scales. Lost in a whispering prayer she holds them out in the palm of her hand towards Leorana. At the end of the prayer a faint green glow briefly hovers over the scales.

OOC: 5ft step & casts Snake’s Swiftness on Leorana: Subject can make one, and only one extra attack within the same round even if the subject has already attacked. Subject does not move in the initiative order when making the attack. This spell does not stack with haste or similar spells that give extra attacks. Spell can be found in Miniature’s HB or Spell Compendium.

Glandred hears the thuds of the harpies cudgel as it strikes the helpless Thyrd. The wounded dwarf swings and quickly aims her crossbow at the putrid woman, squeezing the trigger a deadly bolt of vengeance flies towards the winged horror.

OOC: Sorry man, I meant to attack this one last round with me axes but got distracted, posted later and forgot about my original intent. Hope Thyrd is OK :(

Taking a few steps to the south, Thodan points his free hand toward the harpy assaulting Thyrd and shouts "Approach!" His word carries with it the hint of divine power.

Sighting upon the mortally wounded young harpy (#3) Jack fires one arrow which buries itself in the harpies throat, with a spray of blood the limp form of the harpy crashes into the ground and leaves behind a shattered twisted husk.

Leonara sights upon the most heavily wounded adult harpy and releases two arrows in quick succession, both arrows strike true and leave the harpy reeling for a moment from the deadly attack

Free from the harpies enchanting voice and ready to taste harpy blood, Chik hurls another blast of eldritch energy at the Harpy Leader and manages to clip her wing scorching her slightly.

The leader of the harpies surveys the remains of her force, seeing that they're opponents are too strong she barks out an order and begins to flees, the remaining badly injured adult hearing the order immediately breaks away from the eagles.

Both harpies begin to fly away in separate directions with the eagles closely on their heels, with a burst of speed the leader manages to duck and dive and escape from the pursuing eagle, while the other harpy manages to leave one of the eagles behind, the remaining eagle dodgily pursues, catching up with the fleeing harpy the eagle rakes the harpy one final time, finally unable to take anymore damages the harpy limply begins to fall and crashes into a tree, it lands brokenly at its base.

Taking a few steps to the south, Thodan points his free hand toward the harpy assaulting Thyrd and shouts "Approach!" His word carries with it the hint of divine power.

Hearing the command the young harpy pauses momentarily to look over her shoulder at Thodan to displays a wicked grin, all the while continuing to sing her enchanting song.

Turning her attention back to the helpless Thyrd, the Harpy raises her primitive bone club over her head, bringing the club down swiftly she strikes Thyrd a deadly blow on top of her head, Thyrd collapses to the ground soundlessly, her final bloodstained expression in life, is one of serene joy.

Glandred hears the thuds of the harpies cudgel as it strikes the helpless Thyrd. The wounded dwarf swings and quickly aims her crossbow at the putrid woman, squeezing the trigger a deadly bolt of vengeance flies towards the winged horror.

Taking the harpy in the back, the bolt spins her around to face the steely eyes of the group.

Her strength restored, Nira steps a bit closer to the Tempus Warrior. The balance must be maintained… With a growing sense of confidence she reaches within her clothes and withdraws what looks like to be a few small reptilian scales. Lost in a whispering prayer she holds them out in the palm of her hand towards Leonara. At the end of the prayer a faint green glow briefly hovers over the scales.

~~~~

Seeing no other harpies in sight the group rest their gazes upon the young harpy which had killed their newfound friend Thyrd, without a word the group exchanges grim looks between each other, and the harpies fate is sealed in a matter of seconds.

Sighting down the shaft of his bow Jack takes careful aim at the harpy and releases an arrow at his hated target, the arrow speeds thru the air and strikes the foul beast but bounces off her tough hide, causing no damage.

Leonara, empowered by Nira's spell with supernatural quickness, releases 3 arrows, one arrow whistles harmless past the harpy while the other two find their mark and sink into her chest and abdomen, with blood in her mouth the harpy manages one last defiant look before falling back on top of the slain elf, and breaths her last breath.
