A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

"Tsadok, step back and I will heal you." Keeland shakes his head in mild frustration as his friend ignores his terrible wounds and steps even further into the combat. The Bard’s trained voice rings out as he chants a few quick words and gestures through the door . . . the Peryton shakes its head sending Half-Orc and Olcán blood and gobbets of flesh flying through the air.

The air elemental zips back through the battlefield, slamming the Peryton again on its way through. Harnry calls on his connection with the earth to bring forth a gob of acid – his throw is spot on, and the acid sizzles as it burns the creatures flesh! The thing turns and snaps madly at its flank, looking around to find the sources of its pain . . .

Aodhán intones a quick prayer to Lonrach, and the group feels themselves bolstered by an unknown source.

Tsadok smacks the Peryton again with his sap, giving it a good hard glare at the same time. The creature whirls to face this latest attack . . . The young Rogue flinches from its mad gaze and sees his imminent doom as the thing rears up on its grotesque vulture’s legs . . .

And Houwlou drives his longsword in a hard thrust to its shoulder. Finally settling on a target, the confused creature spins on its hind legs and lashes out; it’s hooves crash to the floor of the mill, and it drives it’s horns deep into the Olcán’s gut!

GM: Merc's are up again!

Air Elemental: round 3 of 5

Once again the air elemental stops on a half copper and turns with a look of determination at the unatural beast within. Once again it does it fly by slam!

(OOPS: the attack is actually 23. I forgot the bless.

Harnrey holds his hand out and a line of \green acid forms in it, growing until it resembles a crossbow bolt. With a gesture the bolt flies to the Peryton.

"Uh oh" says Harnrey as he watches the bolt of acid fly off on it own accord, the battle chaos not helping at all as well.

Tsadok

[sblock=OOC]Tsadok and Houwlou are now in flanking position. I'm gonna hold Tsadok's action to see what the others do first.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Not that is really matters but the Peyton missed me last round so it think your post should read is shakes Houwlou's guts not Tsadok's :)[/sblock]
 

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger 4

"Aaaach," cries the Olcán as the antlers of the Peryton pierce his flesh. But, having no time to whine about his grievous wounds, Houwlou quickly draws his dagger with his off-hand and assault the monstrous beast with longsword and dagger. Finding his longsword entangled in the antlers of the peryton, Houwlou uses it as a lever to move the beasts head to the side, exposing its throat to his dagger, which he plunges into the creature's neck up to the hilt.

Keeland

Seeing the nasty wound, Howlou takes, Keeland steps out and chants out a song of curing. The gentle magic flows into the Olcán easing the worst of the damage.

Tsadok

[sblock=OOC]I guess it really doesn't matter if I post now, I think I know what Tsadok would do regardless.[/sblock]

Finally having made his way around to the rear of the creature and with it concentrating it's attention on Houwlou, Tsadok will attempt to strike the beast's testicular region.

OOPS - Oh Yeah, Add another +1 to that attack roll for the bless.

OOC: I am going to bleed a little of the crit miss in this round


As soon as the word 'oops' leaves his mouth he sees the path that the shaped acid took. there is a beam just past the air elemental that is now visible that has a large burnt/smoldering area on it, just above the left shoulder of the air elemental, for just a brief moment she turns to Harnrey and says words that are more caustic and sizzling with anger then the acid he conjurs.

Wait, She?

"I'm sorry, mistress. You know I never would .. .. .." She raises her air fist at Harnrey, then with a huff that stirs all the air in the building, she turns to the unnatural abomination and does a flyby attack once again.

Harnrey conjures another acid bolt,but to miss all of the combatants, he misses wildly.

[sblock=crunchy]
acid bolt att +5 damage 1d6 + 2
bless+1;dex+2, bab+2
(actual is dart, but for fluff, a small crossbow bolt!)

Damage: Air Elemental: 1d4 + 3
Attack: Air Elemental: 1d20 + 7
[/sblock]

ooc: ignore the attack 23 and make the 17 an 18, please
