[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 282326, member: 96"] [b]Session One, Part Three: Last Stand[/b] "[i]Sh-t![/i]" Jemis screamed. "Quooral - [i]get it open![/i]" The huge man put his shoulder to the door, and shoved. Somehow, the thin wood resisted his advance, and a strange expression crossed his face, as if he didn't understand why his luck was so terrible today. From behind the door, they could hear Katya cry out - and then the door flew open. Captain Donnach - no, Di'Fier - stood there, blade in his hands. The sword whistled through the air as it slammed into Quooral's ribs, rebounding harmlessly from his armor. The genasi brought his hammer up across his chest to catch the next blow, and began to lumber forward, forcing the smaller swordsman back into the room. Ashrem and Jemis dove through the door behind him, and the elf sent an arrow towards Dru that her buckler deflected from the air. Dru shook her head, and reached forward, grabbing the Captain again and pulling back with her sword. Katya was doubled over, one arm wrapped across her stomach, but still she straightened enough to raise the hand holding her amulet. A single word and a gesture at Donnach, and as Dru's blow landed, the priestess staggered as her magic enabled her to take part of the wound. She folded to one knee, and gasped out, "Quooral..." The big man whirled his hammer, bringing it down onto Di'Fier's blade and snapping it two inches from the hilt. The startled kidnapper barely managed to get out of the way as his opponent stepped forward again. Dru raised her sword for another blow to the helpless Captain - when a scream of half rage, half panic distracted her. Looking up, she saw the slight form of Jemis hurtling into the room, diving between her and Katya...and what was that he'd thrown? The leather bag burst open as it hit her, and thick ropes of goo expanded, sticking to the floor, her blade, her body. As she struggled with the hardening substance, she saw Katya pull the Captain away. "Di'Fier!" she shouted. "Get the hell out of here!" "Better surrender," Quooral told his opponent. "Don't run." Di'Fier looked at the massive genasi - and Ashrem, who had drawn his blade. The odds were lousy, and with Dru caught, they weren't going to get any better. He flung the useless sword-hilt at the elf and dove for the door. Quooral's hammer whistled through the air, clipping him across the back and sending him staggering out into the hall. He slammed into the banister, pushed himself upright, and took a step... ...right into the scintillating burst of color from Glunnyn's wand. Something in the display short-circuited his brain - he wanted to run, but the colors swam in front of his eyes, and he wasn't sure where his legs were anymore. He couldn't feel them. On the other hand, he felt Quooral's hammer impacting the back of his skull just fine. Ashrem looked into the hallway at the crumpled form, and placed his sword-point carefully at Dru's throat. "It's over," he said simply. Dru closed her eyes and bowed her head, letting the dagger she'd been using to cut her way free drop to the floor. [/QUOTE]
