[QUOTE="Tenchuu, post: 5113646, member: 85539"] As Wil moved up to stand next to Mervin, he felt the trap blade whoosh just behind him, missing the two adventures by only a few feet. The other blade swung through the beginning of the trap, near Hergunna. The dragonshield that Kane charged moved to attack the bugbear, but Wil saw the attack coming and let fly a powerful arrow. The shot could have been truer, but it still stuck deep in the kobold's shoulder. Kane took the opportunity to slash the dragonshield, opening a huge gash in it's neck, spilling blood. The dragonshield made a weak attack, but failed to land a blow. Cautiously, it stepped back. The two slingers took aim from their positions, each firing another special shot. The bullets exploded on impact, drenching Wil and Mervin in more sticky glue. The underboss and slyblade stood up from Mervin's attack, and still slightly burning rushed away from the magical fire. The underboss moved closer the the adventurers, while the slyblade moved towards the back. [COLOR=DarkRed]"Good shot!"
