Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Voadam]

The little badger runs forward and snarling slashes at the rat on the east wall with a claw but over eager in its frenzied attack the rat dodges.

The small rat-man's eyes flare red and it shouts "O animal de estimação da videira! Você está aqui salvá-lo! A besta não viverá para emprestar seu dae (dispositivo automático de entrada) mestre." Its voice rises in pitch as it goes on its tirade and flecks of foamy spittle spray out as it concludes.

Weylan [SBLOCK]"The vine's pet! You are here to rescue him! The beast will not live to lend its master aid."[/SBLOCK]

Leaping across the debris, Weylan stabs at the rat on the east side of the room near the barrels as well; working his way into position to help NR with the dagger-wielding menace. Unlike the badger, Weylan's maneuvering puts him into a flanking position with himself and the warzoder, doubleteaming the evil looking rat. Weylan fully draws the attention of the rat away from NR4ZN as his mindblade stabs into the rat and drawing out a great hiss from it as it collapses.

Lacking his spear and waiting to see if his healing is needed Thelso holds his action.

NR4ZN bides a few moments to see if Weylan can clear a path of retreat. When he's successful the zoder withdraws over the bleeding rat's body and over to the bedding area, hoping to attempt to grab the dagger rat as it closes when it gives chase. The rat-man and the rat make attacks as he continues his maneuverings but the zoder's armor plating holds out for the moment, absorbing the stone blade's blow as it does not find a vulnerable joint this time.

The rat man steps forward towards the badger and the zoder's hand lashes out but the rat-man easily avoids the large metal appendage. The rat man stabs the badger in the side, drawing more blood and driving it further into its blood frenzy. The rat-man then tries to sink his teeth into the badger but the snarling beast is too much of a blur of moving teeth and claws and the rat-man misses.

The last evil-looking bone-growth rat moves up to snap at the badger, but its attacks are fended off as well for the moment.

Now that a path has been cleared, Weylan leaves the last rat to the badger and rolls around behind the dagger-wielder, pinning him between himself and the large zoder.

OOC: Move Action: Tumble 5' North, 5' NW then 5' West to place himself behind the dagger-wielding rat flanking with NR.

"We will rescue him. You and your sons are not mighty enough to prevent it."
[/Goblin]

After taunting the leader, Weylan lashes out with his mindblade at the out-maneuvered ratling.

OOC2: Standard Action: Attack!

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar backs up a bit, not liking the rat-man being so close, and scoots sideways to make sure she has a shot.

He's devilishly fast, but eventually...one of these days...she figures she'll hit him by sheer chance. Besides, flanked as he is, he had to have some distractions now...

Her strange tattoos flare again with power as she rains another blast on him!

(Eldritch blast, +4 ranged touch, 1d6+1 dmg)

 

[Voadam]

Thelso moves up behind the badger and within reach of Weylan and NR4ZN. He readies to magically heal either of his companions should they fall.

Her strange tattoos flare again with power as she rains another blast on him! This time her bolt is timed just right and he is not able to tumble out of its path. The bolt slows as if hitting water and there is a hissing sound, but Inamar's magic overcomes his supernatural defenses and the bolt burns into his side, drawing a hiss of anger and pain from the rat-man. His whiskered faces turns to Inamar and he screeches "Primeiramente o cão do listra, então você, bruxa."

Weylan [sblock]First the stripe dog, then you, witch.[/sblock]

The badger lashes out at the rat-man in a frenzy but the rat man gives off a high pitched cackle as he leaps and dances around the snarling beast's assaults.

Now that a path has been cleared, Weylan leaves the last rat to the badger and rolls around behind the dagger-wielder, pinning him between himself and the large zoder. Weylan says "Nós salvá-lo-emos. Você e seus filhos não são poderosos bastante impedi-lo." Weylan then lashes out with his mindblade at the out-maneuvered ratling. Its speed and keen reflexes kick in however as it leaps over the slashing psionic blade.

Rats continue to swarm in the pit, their multitudinous squeaking cries grating upon your ears.

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN's arm seizes violently for a moment. But the zoder continues to swat at the elusive rat hybrid, trying to lay a metallic hand on the creature. It attempts to speak but anything intelligible is drowned out in feedback.

 

[chakken98]

Thelso postioned behind his compainions continues to hold his action should his healing powers be needed. But should anything come his way he will lash out with his bite.

(I'm back I posted in OOC as well)

NR4ZN's arm seizes violently for a moment. But the zoder continues to swat at the elusive rat hybrid, trying to lay a metallic hand on the creature. The nimble rat-man continues to evade the large zoder's grasping appendage however. NR4ZN attempts to speak but anything intelligible is drowned out in feedback.

The rat man then moves over to the opening Weylan's movement created and flanks the badger, slashing with his white-stone blade as he goes. The frenzied badger lifts a clawed paw in defense but this seems to be what the rat-man planned, and the crunch of shattering bones can be heard as the blade cuts deep into the limb's joint, doing severe damage that crumples the limb. As the badger falls, the rat man dives in on the exposed throat and clamps down and pulls away, tearing out a large chunk of flesh in a spray of blood.

The frenzied badger's flesh is thick there however and in its frenzy it continues to fight off unconsciousness.

Thelso delayed until he saw a need for healing of his companions or an enemy stepped into the threatened range of his bite. The dover's jaws snap at the rat-man but the thing is too quick for him.

The rat man turns its bloody visage to Thelso, spits out the gobbet of badger flesh, and says "Cão afastado, eu quero a bruxa. Mas a estada aqui e eu somos felizes atravessar primeiramente você."

Weylan [sblock]Out of the way dog, I want the witch. But stay here and I am happy to go through you first.[/sblock]

 

[Voadam]

The big rat pounces on the crippled badger and tries to gnaw on its flesh, but the badger seems supernaturally tough and the rat is not able to pierce its flesh for the moment.
