[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1207810, member: 6588"] Episode 34 It’s What You Don’t See… “Spread out!” Luka cried out. The group fanned out, but the warning came a little to late as the beast breathed a line of acid catching three of the stalwart adventurers. Gjord, who was hit by the acid, braced himself as the chimera charged down upon him. [URL=http://www.compet-edge.com/story_hour_2/1303_gjord_chimera.jpg][IMG]http://www.compet-edge.com/story_hour_2/1303_gjord_chimera_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The monster unleashed a multi-faceted attack that nearly put Gjord down. Bravely the ranger stood his ground and fought back. Long sword steel cut deeply into the chimera’s torso. The enraged beast roared in pain with a sound so loud it echoed through the area and reverberated in everyone’s chest. Gerhardt and Quarion rapidly came to Gjord’s aid. Gerhardt endured a slashing claw attack from the beast to obtain a rear flanking position. Quarion directed his blades into the lion-like beast with a surgeon’s precision. [URL=http://www.compet-edge.com/story_hour_2/1304_flank_chimera.jpg][IMG]http://www.compet-edge.com/story_hour_2/1304_flank_chimera_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] “The Magnificent Luka AlQueme shall cast Scorching Ray!” Fire shot from the mage’s fingertips. Unfortunately, his aim was high and the beast was unaffected. Gjord suffered another round of attacks from the Chimera and was very nearly done in. The ranger stood tall and delivered though. He unleashed two key strikes to the animal, causing it to howl in renewed pain. Gerhardt added to its misery with a well-placed swing. The Chimera had decided that was enough and began to take off. Gerhardt and Luka hit the beast with arrows as it took flight. Gerhardt kept pulling on his bow and launching arrows at the beast as it flew on into the sky. Incredibly, one of the arrows hit the chimera at a range of over 400 feet. It was not enough though, and the Chimera got away. Gerhardt threw his bow onto the ground. “Damn, you know we’re going to see him again.” “I don’t know, he took some heavy damage,” Gjord countered. “That will just make him smarter next time,” Gerhardt mused. “Let’s move on,” Luka stated. “Hold on,” Gjord replied, “I am just this side of sausage meat. How about some help here sister?” “Gjord, I would be happy to help,” Hilde chanted a couple of supplications over the ranger divinely curing his wounds. “Hey AlQueme, how about shooting some big stuff off next time one of us is getting chewed up?” Gerhardt asked. “Oh you are addressing me?” Luka asked. “You have a question for Luka AlQueme the magnificent?” “That’s another thing,” Gerhardt began, “Maybe if you quit announcing everything you would get more done.” “Naturally, Luka AlQueme the magnificent cannot expect a simpleton to understand the complexities of arcane secrets and mechanics.” “You’re the idiot,” Gerhardt retorted, sensing he had been insulted. “I thought you might have some real fire power, but you’re a punk.” “The Magnificent Luka Alqueme analyzed the situation and realized what was necessary to drive the beast off.

Let us journey on into the wilderness,” Luka agreed. ….. Five days traveling through the wilderness the party finally reached a mound with some ruins scattered atop it.
