[QUOTE="Antithetist, post: 5268622, member: 88443"] [COLOR=Lime]"Serris, move quick. I need your spot."[/COLOR] Grys shouts. Serris duly moves aside, going to egg on Baracus as he pummels his victim. Grys blinks to the centre of the chamber, unleashing fiery magic upon the flyers. All but one of them gives a blood-curdling scream of pain as the fire catches and lights them up. Filled with the anger of Balinor at these foul creatures, kal'Tarron is energized as he slays one. He then turns and swears another oath, this time at one of the winged abominations perched above him. The avenger then swings his axe at the winged corpse, slashing deeply into its foul flesh - but is blow is weakened by the effects of the attacks he has suffered and is not as strong as it might have been. In the path of his axe, there is a bloody radiance, sparkling and surging, wrapping him in a protective field of radiant energy Mythra smirks at the undead near him and uses his Eladrin powers to teleport safly behind Orsik. He then uses the chance to catch his breath. Baracus curses as the zombie throws more ... whatever it is that he is throwing... at his allies. The brawler sinks his fingers in deeper, move into the corner of the room, dragging the corpse with him and slamming the enemy into the wall, the force jolting him from Baracus' hands, but leaving the enemy on the ground. Baracus takes advantage and punches down hard on the creatures neck and holds it down. [COLOR=Orange]"Let's see you try that again"[/COLOR] he says to the struggling corpse, risking a quick look over his shoulder at the others [COLOR=Orange]"You all ok over there?[/COLOR] he shouts Orsik tries to protect Mythra by holding off the two closest foes. but his first swing is a miss. * * * The putrid corpse squirms and writhes beneath Baracus, but proves completely unable to escape his iron grip. It does, however, lash out in its struggles, and in its wild flailings it manages to land a solid blow with one rotting fist which leaves Baracus's head ringing (and slathered liberally with ichor). Each of the flying monstrosities takes an ungainly hop back from melee range, disengaging and taking to the air once more. The air is filled with the flapping of leathery wings and chaos reigns as the creatures go swooping for new targets.
