Synopsis of Round 3
Seeing his companions getting obliterated, the salesman screams out in frustration!
"Kill them! Kill Them! We MUST find the gem!" Pointing at the warforged behind Lo-Kag he shouts out instructions. "Get over to that stove and get the gem! Move now!" Salesman punctuates his command by throwing another accelerator pod onto the other warforged who practically teleports to the other side of the room, moving so fast that both Lord Jarot and Gurdan miss with their opportunistic weapon swipes.
Gurdan is slightly unsettled as some strange energy flows over him from Alexia's corner and swirls around him in a protective spiral. Undeterred, Gurdan steps in front of the dashing warforged and swings his hammer at the enemy between himself and Garrick. The warforged takes a solid hit directly to the cranium and falls onto the mound of earth brought up by Gurdan's primal magic. The warforged can be seen to have no neck left as his head was forced into his torso.
"Let's cleanup this collection of spare parts, mates!"
While the blur distracts Lo-Kag, the Salesman pulls the dragonborn's blade from his stomach and returns the favor, sticking Lo-Kag in the side with his deadly shortsword as he circles around him.
Lo-Kag grunts as the salesman's sword strikes true. Bloodied, but not beaten, Lo-Kag looks the salesman in the eye and states "well...it looks like it's me vs you. It will take a lot more than that to bring me down." With that, Lo-Kag shifts to the east as to get a bird's eye view of the rest of the combat going on and to prevent the other thief from attacking from behind him. He thrusts his sword towards the salesman's midsection.
Lo-Kag trades another blow with the salesman, this time the weapon glows as it hits the salesman, who now looks visibly weakened.
"Yessssss..." Lo-Kag states in dragonborn native tongue as he does from time to time in the heat of battle. He then turns to the warlock "Let's finish him friend!"
Lord Jarot, who has passed annoyed and is getting plain frustrated, flings another shard of energy that misses it's mark. Grunting with rage as another attack misses Lord Jarot attacks again, but the wily warforged moves out of the way once again. Lord Jarot feels an undeniable mental push, as Gershom tries to claw his way into the physical realm, the features on Lord Jarots face darkening and turning almost feral. Lo-Kag shouts an encouragement to his warlock friend and Lord Jarot is able to maintain control over his psyche.
Garrick curses the master thief who is now in front of him and tries to hit him with no luck, as his blade swings far from his intended target.
At the same time, the Master thief and Garrick's target, who both are fully against Grryth, try to team up with Alexia's attacker to try and take the shifter down in a flurry of attacks. Alexia's sword flashes out at her attacker, fully skewering her enemy. The longsword can be seen dripping oil from it's tip as it protrudes from the back of the warforged before she rips her blade sidways, causing the warforged to lean the other way, practically splitting him in half. She wipes her dirtied blade on his cloak as he slowly spins around before falling to the ground. She turns to the rest of her foes, her eyes flashing red for only a moment before returning to their normal color.
Alexia doesn't even pause between dropping foes. Instead, Alexia confidently strides over to the Master Thief and shows him who the real master is. Snaking her sword into his armor, Alexia yanks back, opening a hole (literally) in his defenses and inflicts a moderate wound in the process, causing some of the warforgeds' internal liquids to spill out.
Although not in the most optimal places, the flurry of distractions around Grryth allow the Master Thief and Grryths' other mark to land a couple of minor hits, though it is nothing that will slow down the shifter more than a second or two. A single drop of blood seeps out from Grryth's armor and lands on the floor with a quiet plop.
Grryth, keeping a close eye on Master Thief and keeping his guard up, moves to the left, past Garrick and around to the other side of the 'forged. A low growl erupts from his throat while he raises his axe. As Grryth brings his axe down upon the warforged, Alexia catches his attention with a nasty swing of her own, giving him the perfect open shot at the back of the warforged's neck. Hitting his mark, he sets off a necromantic chain reaction causing the warforged's own life force to flow into Grryth, transform into necrotic energy, and flow back into the warforged. The lights in the warforged's eyes fade until there is nothing but black empty sockets and it falls to the ground, a last spasm of dark energy escaping from the it's mouth in a long hiss.
