[QUOTE="Warbringer, post: 3570911, member: 14391"] Moving quickly, he threw his weight against the reptile fighting Kiernna, slamming it into the ground. Without her, Tzzt was finished no matter what the outcome of this battle. Rolling around the canopy floor, Mithros stabbed at the lizardman with short curved dagger of the Valenar make, the agile blade easier to wield that the lizardman's longsword. But the lizardman let his weapon fall to the ground and attacked the elf with his clawed hands and razor sharp teeth. Acting surprised, Mithros opened his guard allowing the reptile a clean bite at his exposed shoulder. Thinking his opponent weakening, the lizardman sunk his teeth into Mithros, biting down on the exposed flesh, realizing too late its mistake as Mithros?s sword drove into the side of its unguarded neck. Responding to Mithros cry for help, Velashtar began to move across the battlefield when he noticed the new threat moving across the open ground. Torn, he could not leave Markhard, and prayed to the Light that Tzzt could take the beating he was receiving. 'I can't,' he called out. 'Incoming.' High in his tree, Thianallis once again took careful aim and unleashed yet another deadly strike. Too easy he sneered. Thinking quickly, he realized, 'Too easy', and hurling himself from the tree and landed awkwardly stared up at as branches he had been perched in merely moments before exploded in cackling electricity. Kateria stared at Thianallis, now merely feet from her own position. 'What are you waiting for?' he snapped. 'Shoot whoever just did that' Out in the clearing, the shaman stood, his slowing staff still pointing in the direction of the tree in which the elf had been perched. Katiera let loose, the arrow striking the shaman deep in the shoulder. Staring at Tzzt, his battered body starting to twitch, Kierrna leapt at another of the lizardmen, stabbed wildly with her blade. Anger and fear guided her blow, striking firmly between the creature's legs, the blade driving upwards into its bowels. Surprised, Re'lakk'ha looked down to see the small gnome, no bigger than hatchling, staring at him with such hate. Did she not understand, he was killing death, protecting the brood. As the last of his lifeblood spilled upon the earth and he fell to the ground trapping her blade, he died recognizing the look in her eyes. She was killing death, protecting her brood. The final lizardmen, seeing his brother fall, leapt in rage at the defenseless gnome, his weapon dropped, wishing to rip her throat out with his own teeth, ending her life in the horror and pain. His guard down, he sailed through the air, gurgling in shock as Mithros curved dagger spiraled through the air and struck him in the throat, the blade sinking in to the hilt. By the time he hit the ground, the lizardman was already dead. Velashtar felt his link break with his construct as it ectoplasm lost its form and faded back into dream. Markhad's continued to fight, quickly dispatching the final lizardman. Their minds linked, Velashtar quickly communicated the new threat to Markhard outside in the jungle clearing. Markhad gave the construct a final instruction, then passed out form the pain of his injuries. As the alien construct crashed out of the jungle, the three lizardfolk that had be charging towards the fray, turned and fled from the strange sight. Following its orders, the construct pursued its prey with unnatural speed, chasing them all the way into the hut into which they fled. 'Move', Thianallis cried, grabbing his bow and rolling out into the clearing. Kateria dived to the other side as another blast of lightning ripped in to the jungle, and was quickly on her feet and running for the shaman. If they could reach him before his staff could recharge, they could easily take him down. Those wielding magic rarely had the strength to withstand a physical assault. Well, that had been her training. But as she hurried across the clearing drawing her twin bladed scimitar, it became apparent that this wizard, stood nearly seven feet tall and seemed quite capable of handling himself in any situation. Too late to turn back now she thought, as she charged, two arrows passing her shoulder and striking the shaman in the chest. Roaring, it charged the incoming elf, raising the staff above its head and striking down, but not before her blade sliced twice across its ribs, a dual blow that would have killed most. The shaman didn't fall, its staff striking at the elf, exploding in an electrical burst, throwing Katiera to the ground. Painfully rolling to her side, she quickly swung the double blade in an arc that sliced across her assailant's stomach Still standing the shaman raised its staff to once again strike Katiera with a blow that this time she could not survive. As she prepared to defend herself against the blow two arrows struck the shaman, one in the chest, one in the side of the neck. Looking up she saw both Mithros and Thianallis running across the open field, unleashing arrows. The shaman stood, his staff above his head, unmoving. Two more arrows struck the shaman, but he was already dead. [/QUOTE]
