[QUOTE="talien, post: 2884781, member: 3285"] [b]Assault Upon the Gate of Tears - Part 4a: The Grand Hall[/b] The immense hall was pitch black, with only a light afterglow coming from the side hallways. Pinioned between two columns was a large, white sheet that extended from the second story landing to the floor. It flowed languidly from some unseen breeze. A set of stairs leading to the second floor was directly north of the entrance. Before the entire spectacle was Kham with a panther on his back. “Get it off me!” he shrieked. The panther’s rear claws dug in over Kham’s gut, tearing through the Harvester robe. Only the Sicarite leather that he had recently purchased saved him from being disemboweled. Quintus unfolded his longspear from beneath the folds of his cloak. Another panther roared a charge and leaped at Vlad; it was all the warrior could do to keep his shield between them. “Holden, you’re with me. Ilmarė, help Vlad!” said Quintus. Kham stopped moving. The panther snapped its jaws towards his neck… Only to meet the bayonet at the end of Holden’s rifle. Then Quintus rammed the panther hard with his shield, forcing it off of Kham’s body. The Elorii had her bow out in a flash. An arrow flashed across Quintus’ field of vision as she fired. It was met with a howl from the other panther. The first panther hissed as it regained its footing and prepared for another leap. Quintus crouched and waited. It launched itself into the air, only to be met by Quintus’ longspear. The panther howled piteously as it impaled itself on his spear. Then it fell silent. Vlad walked back towards his companions, his blade wet with panther blood. Even a panther’s claws were no match for Nierite full plate. He looked down at Kham. “Is he…?” Quintus the back of one hand to Kham’s throat. “He’ll survive…by Illiir’s Grace,” he said. “Thanks for your help,” Vlad said to Ilmarė. “But I really didn’t…” he noticed she still had another arrow knocked. “Don’t look now,” she whispered. “But we’ve got company.” [/QUOTE]
