[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5866212, member: 52403"] [b]Hound gets a smackdown ...[/b] The following morning they rub the grit from their eyes; pack up their gear and do a quick scout of the surroundings. They are in a small gatehouse with a crenellated tower at each corner; from the two closest towers they can see the flesh golem hound sitting where they left it patiently waiting for them to try making the crossing again. Kat ever the patient hunter thinks sod it I have been bitten enough already; piles up some furniture before the doors and heads to the tower with the Troll captains crossbow. With a great effort she winches back the crossbow and fits a bolt; sighting down the large bow she releases and the bolt strikes the hound squarely in the face. The hound barely moves for several seconds except to slowly turn its gaze upon the tower and its lone occupant standing very nervously holding a large sized crossbow. Kat starts frantically winching back the crossbow again as the hound gets to its feet; its eyes still focused on Kat and starts running towards the gates of the gatehouse. There is a loud ringing bang as the heavy hound strikes the gate; the reverberations rattling the teeth of everyone concerned. Sayuri runs up the tower and starts summoning another fire elemental while Pringle and Grembor after checking the barricade is holding ascends the other tower; Grembor shooting arrows which bounce off and Pringle casting small balls of acid at the hound which leave tiny burnt patches. The Flesh Golem again shoulder barges the reinforced and barricaded doors which again shake and dust falls from the ceiling; the doors hold this time but they give a little. Sayuri finishes her summoning and a denizen of the plane of fire arrives to help out; the elemental strikes out and scores a hit on the hound which then seems to slow it down again; she starts another summoning; Pringle is at a loss as to what to do this round so he observes the proceedings making sly remarks whenever someone misses; Grembor takes out some vials of alchemist’s fire and starts lobbing them down at the hound to little effect; Kat is still winding up the crossbow. The Hound leaps for the doorway again and there is the sound of cracking timbers as the doorway partially gives; Kat ready now ties off her rope to a bolt and taking careful aim fires the heavy bolt into the far doors over the bridge; Looping some leather over the rope she slides down the rope and alights gracefully on the bridge before the doors. Another Fire Elemental steps through a rent in space and starts trying to strike down the hound with its fiery fists; joining the other elemental in its attempt to set the poor hound alight. Pringle shoots another small blob of acid down at the hound causing minor damage while Grembor picks up the large crossbow and starts reloading it with some effort. The Flesh Golem looks round and eyes up Kat close to the focus of it’s protection; turns and eliciting a couple of attacks from the fire elementals as it passes lopes over the bridge towards Kat. Fortunately for Kat the hound has been slowed by the fire elementals attacks and it only makes it halfway across the bridge; Kat in a panic casts a quick spell and leaps for the wall scaling it like a spider.
