Dockside Diversion/Still Waters

[jkason]

Seeing the heavy blow Sylvain takes, and that the gnome seems once again to be pinched between Borric and Zelena effectively, Nathan decides to see if he can't do something about the larger threat's luck at avoiding trouble.

The glow at Nathan's crown returns as a swirl of mote-inspired wind whips his cloak about. He calls out in an impressive bellow, "Your every crime calls out for justice, and I will see you feel that punishment ahundredfold!"

Not pleased with his current circumstances, Syl attempts to cast one of his favorite spells, while keeping Tamm from clocking him one. Still shaken up from the sap attack, the spell fizzles with no effect.

Celebfedhiin's lunging attack unbalances Zelena and instead of attacking she is forced to clutch at Celebfedhiin's bridle to maintain her seat. The big hound closes teeth on Tamm's thigh causing a bloody wound and dragging the other gnome to the ground.

Borric gives up on the nonlethal attacks to bring his flail smashing down into Tamm's body. The gnome's grin quickly fades and the fighter is pretty confident that Tamm doesn't think of this as a game any longer.

Nathan's call for justice, and punishment, give Baggett pause. A look of uncertainty enters his eyes…

Sylvain is in a bad way. His swarm would have relieved the pressure of being between the two thugs and it was almost certain to have gone off flawlessly. Except pain or distraction caused the witch to hesitate and fumble a vital component leaving his magic to fade with no effect.

Despite being on the ground and at the mercy of his opponents Tamm strikes out at the hound that has caused him so much trouble. "God's cursed mutt!" he mutters. Tamm's sap catches Celebfedhiin on the snout in a very painful strike that causes the dog to yelp then resume a deep, threatening growl.

Baggett's sap flashes out and raps Sylvain on the temple. Sylvain crumples to the ground unconscious. The half-orc steps forward to stand over the witch's body. Waltor's claws snap aggressively up at Baggett but the thug doesn't notice.

Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer

Nathan holds in his concern as Sylvain falls. Deciding he can't do much to help Syl while the half-orc stands overtop him, the sorcerer decides to try making good on his earlier threats.

"Your funeral, big guy. Show him what we're made of, folks," Nathan says. Three glowing motes zip across the intervening space at his urging, and through the half-orc's form before fading from view.

Zelena holds her ace in her sheild hand for a moment as she grasps her holy symbol... "Ral, I call upon your power to aid a companion in need." A wave of holy energy rolls over everyone and all are healed... except the baddies.

Borric Hawkins

 

[GlassEye]

The group finally seems to be getting on top of things and turning the tables on Baggett and Tamm. Nathan's motes streak through the battle leaving trails of golden light to pierce Baggett.

Zelena's wave of healing energy, courtesy of Ral, erases much of the injury inflicted on the group by the two thugs. Sylvain wakes, thanks to that healing, to find himself sprawled on his back with Baggett standing directly over him. Much of the battle is confused from his angle of perception but the growling attack of Zelena's hound is very clear to him as is Waltor's snapping of claws and scuttling back and forth across his chest, in apparent joy of his awakening.

Borric's attack is effective yet not quite enough to take out the gnome. Tamm seems to be holding onto consciousness by a thread; it won't take much more to end this battle, at least for the gnome.

There is some sort of disturbance down the alley that the group entered this courtyard from...

Sylvain returns to consciousness, with a ripping headache. He holds his ground with the large fellow practically on top of him, waiting for an opportunity to rise to his feet. He attempted to remain still and not give away the fact that he was aware again.
