[QUOTE="Lord_Raven88, post: 2819872, member: 31975"] Jack captivated by the Harpies is confused as to where to go. Since there is nothing for him to be able to climb he stares with glazed over eyes at the Harpies. [color=royalblue]"This sure seems somewhat familiar"[/color], wanting to get as close to the harpies as possible Jack begins to walk towards them until he is directly below them, stepping into Thodan's magical circle, the look of serenity is removed from Jack's face and replaced by a look of anger as he realises what has happened to him [i]again[/i], sighting upon a singing harpy Jack fires his arrow, striking a harpy a glancing blow. Following Jacks example, Leonara and stalker begin serenely walking towards the harpies, as they both step into radius of Thodan's magical circle spell they too likewise shake off the effects of harpies song. Taking aim at the harpies Leonara fires off two quick shots, both arrows easily find their target causing significant damage to the young harpy. Once again, Chik's lack of personal willpower leaves him at the will of his enemies. This time the song of the Harpies draws him onward, causing him to climb to the opposite side of the tree and upward. Moving as close as possible to the nearest harpy, Chik smiles happily at the vile looking beast, looking at the captivated Chik the harpy grins cruelly and swings her bone club at his unresisting head, striking Chik a glancing blow blood begins to drip from his mouth as he continues to cling to the tree smiling at the ugly harpy. Stepping toward Leonara, Thodan chants a brief prayer, and summons a shimmering axe of force into being near the harpy that dropped the fireball. The axe immediately goes to work, slashing at the harpy it opens a shallow wound on her side. Seeing that Thyrd hasn't moved yet, one of the young harpies flies over towards her and lands next to her, swinging it's bone club the harpy swiftly deals two blows to the unresisting Thyrd. The young harpy that hurled the ball of fire, once again pulls a small bead from her necklace and hurls it down at the group below, bursting into a ball of flame of lesser intensity, you all manages to avoid the worst of the flames. Meanwhile the adult harpies seeing the danger posed by the two archers fire two arrows each at their foes, despite both harpies firing their arrows neither of them manage to strike their targets. [color=pink]"That the best ya got?"[/color] Glandred calls as she pats out the flames that cling lovingly to her body [color=pink]"Come down here and I'll show ya real hurt"[/color] Despite suffering the effects of the fireball spell Nira manages to completes her spell with a small smile in satisfaction. Appearing in the air in between the harpies three 'eagles' appear, as the plant-like eagles hear the harpies captivating song, they quickly succumb to it's insidious influence. Moving with purpose, she reaches back into her satchel and displays not her fiddle but a mid size ash-wood mandolin. She strums the strings lightly with her fingers creating a rich and deep rythmin sound. Just before she is about to play she quickly comments to her companions in a soft and delicate voice, [COLOR=Magenta]“We will need to take cover and gather together for I will not be able to counter another one of their songs after this.” [/COLOR] She takes a small pause before quickly continuing, [COLOR=Magenta]“And Master Tempus, I will need your aid until everyone has gathered around…”[/COLOR] With that she leans back against the large oak tree and begins to play. As her music fulls the air, it interupts the harpies song within a 30' radius, giving a slight shudder Thyrd regains her senses and sees the threat posed by the harpy near at hand, while up above Nira Chik and her summoned eagles remain entranced.
