[QUOTE="Morgaine, post: 134412, member: 2393"] Deke frantically scrambles higher into the tree, hoping he can stave off the creatures. Eventually, other party members begin arriving and offer a distraction for the hapless rogue turned acrobat. Borin and Gemma thrash into the clearing 20 feet from the creatures. The cunning beast waiting at the fourth tree circles around and pounces on Borin from behind. The scent of his blood spurs the creatures on. Marja casts [I]magic missile[/I] at the creature still attempting to climb up to Deke, who then leaps to the ground and attacks with long, sharp swords slicing out from its underside. Kalina casts [I]entangle[/I] and watches triumphantly as large roots begin to writhe and grow around the trees, catching both cats. Poor planning cause an unfortunate Borin to also fall victim to the ensnaring underbrush. Trapped as he is with both creatures, Borin goes berserk with rage in an attempt to break free from the snarling brambles while still attacking the nearest enemy. This is not as effective as he would like and the cats’ harsh claws repeatedly swipe him, ripping large gashes into his neck and chest. Deke ties himself to the tree when a cat begins to shake the tree violently with its full weight as it rips at the roots partially ensnaring it. Once secure, he pulls out his crossbow and aims at the beast. Alas, shaken as he is, the bolt flies errant and misses in a wide arc to the left. Fergus and Morgaine finally arrive; he [I]inspires greatness[/I] while she casts [I]melf’s acid arrow[/I] at the one closest to Borin. Fergus then charges at the cat shaking the tree, his sword slicing neatly into the metallic flesh, creating a large gash in its haunch. Gemma also targets this creature with two arrows neatly sunk into its flank. Wounded and bleeding badly, the bladebeast drops to the ground. The beast attacking Borin lets out an unearthly howl at the death of its mate, leaping at Fergus who impales it with his sword. The sword then continues into the beast as it is sucked inside the creature from Fergus’ incredulous hands. Once again, Marja casts [I]magic missiles[/I] and watches the flaming green sparks of energy emerge from her hands and sink into the chest of the howling beast. Morgaine sends a [I]melf’s acid arrow[/I] hurtling toward the blade beast but harried as she is, her aim is less than perfect. She narrowly misses hitting the very injured Borin. Kalina aims a perfect sling-shot into its temple, while Fergus and Borin attempt to flank it. Finally free of the ensnaring roots, Borin manages at last to sling his axe into the beast’s metallic hide, hacking a large chunk of its throat. The beast lets out one long howl and drops unconscious next to its fallen mate. Exhausted and no longer in a rage, Borin drops unconscious next to the creatures and the healers scramble to tend his terrible wounds. Deke scouts for other creatures in the vicinity and Fergus attempts to retrieve his sword. Shortly thereafter, Xenia runs up breathless and itching to fight just as Morgaine drops unconscious, eyes fluttering in her head. [/QUOTE]
