Embassy Fight (Turn 02, Phase 04) - Conclusion

Dílis closes the distance across the bridge, preparing to aid Cyr against his two opponents. Both of them attack the staff wielding mystic - the sword misses but the enemy he disarmed retaliates with a vicious claw attack and inflicts several deep scratches in Cyr's neck.

In a very impressive looking move, Cairn whips his body around and uses the momentum to add to the speed of his axes. The serpent neatly ducks under the higher of the two axes, but in so doing puts her torso in line for a blow from the other. Her scales stop the razor edge from penetrating, but still gets the wind knocked out of her and collapses to the ground, struggling for breath.

When Béar notices Gavril in trouble, he struggles over to help his friend. His movement distracts the Púca attacking Gavril, and the swordsman's weaving dagger does the rest. The Púca's attack is blocked.

Acting in Phase 06 (Next): Skáth and Cyr.
 


Embassy Fight (Turn 02, Phase 06)

Skáth soars high above the battle seeking an opponent, and homes in on the Púca facing Gavril and Béar. He lets fly a knife that buries itself deep in the Púca's stomach, causing the creature to double over in pain and take a step back.

Meanwhile, as he begins a move against his armed opponent, Cyr takes note of Dílis' approach. Thinking quickly, he swings his staff around and chops viciously into the shins of the goblin he disarmed on his last phase. The Púca gives a pitiful wail and grabs its shin, dropping it's shield as it does so.

OOC: The Púca does not fall but will be slow to act on its next Phase.

Next Up: Turn 02, Phase 8 (Dílis, Cairn, Béar, Gavril, and the Púca)
 

Cairn MacSidhe

Cairn's opponent having been knocked from its feet, the Executioner/Judge presses his advantage, trying to disable his opponents legs with his deadly axes. (I'm not looking to make any kind of "called shot" if that will significantly lessen my chances for connecting significantly, just adding a bit of "color" or "flavor" to my actions.

Cairn's next attack(s):

6,3,2
5,3,6

(OOC: ouch, not as good this time, hope I didn't mess myself up too badly!)
 

Gavril

Frustrated by the mental attacks, Gavril counters with what he knows best, hot steel and cunning. First he kicks some leaves into the air and spins about the sleeves of his pajamas and the plume of his hat flapping about. Then he suddenly reverses. His blades dart (3d6=5, 3d6=6, 3d6=9) forward to stab his foe and his skillful thrusts find the mark (3d6=13, 1d6=5).

OOC: [sblock]I only asked for 2 sets of three d6, but for some reason I got three from IC. Use which ever you wish. I rolled damage for both blades. Defensive strike. [/sblock]
 

Cyr Escunar

Skáth , go to Maor and keep him safe ! Call for help as needed ! We'll be busy for some time more and he might be in danger while we clean up here.

[sblock=Mowgli]
What effects Cyr has? I'm not clear if he has armor on or not!?
[/sblock]

And you, pathetic excuses for wariors, what did they breed you out of? Strong as an ox, slow as an ox with smarts to match! You should turn around and go graze out some weeds, not bother Queens Bairdéir in the night!

OOC: Next on Cyr TV, disarming of another goblin or putting disarmed one to sleep depending on Dilis' actions
 

Embassy Fight (Turn 02, Phase 08)

Quick as a thought, Dílis draws her blades and attacks the armed Púca threatening Cyr, but it unable to score a hit. The Púca, on the other hand, proves deadly accurate with its broadsword. It spins into a counterattack that opens a gash along the inside of the unfortunate minstrel's thigh from her knee almost to her groin. The leg collapses under her and she goes down writhing.

The snake creature struggles to keep her serpentine body out of harm's way as Cairn sets into a frenzied attack with his axes. She wriggles away from his best attacks and manages to escape significant damage, though it's plain to see she's completely on the defensive now.

Leaves and nightclothes fly as Gavril pulls out every trick he knows to confuse his opponent, and in an impressive show of teamwork he and Béar time their attacks perfectly. Shimmer slides smoothly between the Púca's ribs - cauterizing as it goes - and Sciath slices the tendons inside the thing's elbow, neatly disabling the sword arm. As the goblin is reeling from this attack, Thanatos slams into the poor creature's spine and it falls to the ground. It is out of the fight - and out of this world.

The hobgoblin that Cyr smacked scrambles backward, trying to get out of the Keeper's reach as it regains its readiness for battle - or maybe it'll keep running.

[sblock=Remaining Combatants]Cyr faces two Púca at the camp end of the bridge. One is disarmed. Cairn faces a stunned/retreating serpent-woman, though she'll likely recover from being stunned on her next phase. Gavril, Béar, and Skáth find themselves without opponents. Dílis is down on the bridge with a serious wound to her thigh.[/sblock]

[sblock=Neurotic]I have been taking his armor into account, but haven't been giving it the descriptions it is due (small flares of light or shadow at the point of attack's impact, perhaps?). Sorry about that. The damage is a combination of VERY strong opponents and really good rolls.[/sblock]

Next: Turn 02, Phase 09 (Skáth/Serpent Lady)

Cyr Escunar

OOC: Eh, eh. I put Dilis as depending on her and she goes out, some help tsk tsk... :)

[sblock=Mowgli]
Now, I'll need some details about two Pucka.

1. is one who turned toward Dilis still threatening her or he returned his focus to Cyr? If so, he will be forced to let the other go.

2. If the one who dropped Dilis is still threatening Cyr steps in and swipes his feet under him (avoiding buckler on his arm in the process - that's why I'm not going for disarm) unless you can tell me that nerve strike works for Daoine too.

3. What is general feel of the one retreating? Will he continue fighting or retreat? Also, what is general reputation of Pucka (retreat as needed to fight another day or unreasonable warriors fighting to the death?). Cyr is, as pacifist, willing to let him go, but not if he will return in few seconds to rake at him again. He will not kill him, but can disable him if needed.

Description might be sound and not flashes of light or along flashes of light. As I see it, armor is visible as ghostly form overlaying Cyr's body. It's as if attack strikes at metal armor and not flesh (including screechin of claws that draw accross and don't penetrate and such)

Skáth

Hearing Cyr call out to gt the Maor out of harm's way, Skáth will look to his tent.

OOC - Did the Maor and Maora share a tent?

Surprised no one else from the camp has yet awakened with all the nose and dying going on, Skáth will go to the Maor's tent and inspect for a way to enter.

OOC - Also did the Maor not have guards posted that would be fighting as well?
