The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

"Eldariel, hold still!" Aria urges as she takes aim at the horrible slashy-doodle that's attacking him. She squints a little, but holds her crossbow credibly still as she lets the bolt fly!

Then winces and mutters an oath when it falls short. "Sorry! I was trying not to hit you!"

Zeke

Morningstar in hand, Zeke advances on the monstrosity.

"D-d-d-die you foul b-beast," says the young priest unconvincingly as he swings his morningstar.
 

Eldariel grunts as the slasher cuts his leg. Had he not been hardened in battle, the wound would most certainly have slain him.

He ducks just in time to avoid Aria's crossbow bolt. Blast it, aim at it, not me! Fall back, Aria, we're going to be overwhelmed!

With that Eldariel takes a step back from his foe, (EDIT) then draws his sword.

[sblock=ooc]Move to step back, diagonally away from this guy.

Move to draw sword and ready to slash this guy.

Edited my action there. I just want you to know that I CANNOT take this guy with only 3hp. If Zeke dies this round, I'm going to bolt. He's our healbot.[/sblock]

Discovering that the tactics that he has developed while outdoors and alone don't work when underground and with companions, Galyne rushes back to protect Aria. Voice quivering with embaressment, he says "Sorry about that folks. I'm not used to working with other people."

[sblock=Action]Double move back to between slasher and Aria. Prepare to deflect attack from Aria.[/sblock]
 

Aria's unpracticed shot flees right between the slasher and Eldariel. The bolt passes close by the elf's face before shatter on the floor. Eldariel steps back (more so as not to get shot than anything) and drawing his elven blade sets himself in a ready stance should his enemy advance.

Vixtrin fights off the sudden erg to vomit and stps forward to bring her chain into range of the creature before it can strike again. The biting and sting bugs prove to much and her chain barely gets close. Zeke on the other hand smashes the slasher hard on top of it's single eye drawing blood.

Galyne approaches and gets into the fight (at possibly the wrong time). He raises his axe and the slasher lives up to it's name catching him across the leg before moving quickly and spinning. As the creature spins it raises a few of it's legs holding out the razor sharp appendages.

Eldariel strikes at one of the legs cutting it a little, even as he dodges out of the way. Aria doesn't dodge the blow but luckily her magics protect her.

Galyne grunts in pain as the Slasher's blades rips into his leg. However, after his poor showing to date he is not going to withdraw, so he stands his ground and he takes a slash at it with his axe. Unfortunately his injured leg spasms, causing his blow to glance off the Slasher's shell.

Zeke

Zeke was starting to sweat profusely.

He did not know what to do - on one hand he wanted to stop and heal some of the carnage and wounds that everyone had, but his healing powers were not something he was proud of. He instead wanted to focus on taking this monstrosity down.

He raised his morningstar once again, shouted a prayer to Pelor and swings as hard as he could.
 

Quick as she can, Aria reloads her crossbow and takes another shot at the quickly skittering thing. She could cast a spell, but inwardly she can feel how tired and weak the power within her is. The sensation is disturbing, and not just because it means she's vulnerable. After all, if she can feel it, does that mean it's part of her?

The distraction is too much, and her crossbow bolt lands nowhere near the horrible thing!
