[QUOTE="Lord_Raven88, post: 2833024, member: 31975"] Sighting upon the mortally wounded young harpy (#3) Jack fires one arrow which buries itself in the harpies throat, with a spray of blood the limp form of the harpy crashes into the ground and leaves behind a shattered twisted husk. Leonara sights upon the most heavily wounded adult harpy and releases two arrows in quick succession, both arrows strike true and leave the harpy reeling for a moment from the deadly attack Free from the harpies enchanting voice and ready to taste harpy blood, Chik hurls another blast of eldritch energy at the Harpy Leader and manages to clip her wing scorching her slightly. The leader of the harpies surveys the remains of her force, seeing that they're opponents are too strong she barks out an order and begins to flees, the remaining badly injured adult hearing the order immediately breaks away from the eagles. Both harpies begin to fly away in separate directions with the eagles closely on their heels, with a burst of speed the leader manages to duck and dive and escape from the pursuing eagle, while the other harpy manages to leave one of the eagles behind, the remaining eagle dodgily pursues, catching up with the fleeing harpy the eagle rakes the harpy one final time, finally unable to take anymore damages the harpy limply begins to fall and crashes into a tree, it lands brokenly at its base. ~~~~ Taking a few steps to the south, Thodan points his free hand toward the harpy assaulting Thyrd and shouts [color=teal]"Approach!"[/color] His word carries with it the hint of divine power. Hearing the command the young harpy pauses momentarily to look over her shoulder at Thodan to displays a wicked grin, all the while continuing to sing her enchanting song. Turning her attention back to the helpless Thyrd, the Harpy raises her primitive bone club over her head, bringing the club down swiftly she strikes Thyrd a deadly blow on top of her head, Thyrd collapses to the ground soundlessly, her final bloodstained expression in life, is one of serene joy. Glandred hears the thuds of the harpies cudgel as it strikes the helpless Thyrd. The wounded dwarf swings and quickly aims her crossbow at the putrid woman, squeezing the trigger a deadly bolt of vengeance flies towards the winged horror. Taking the harpy in the back, the bolt spins her around to face the steely eyes of the group. Her strength restored, Nira steps a bit closer to the Tempus Warrior. [COLOR=Magenta][I]The balance must be maintained… [/I][/COLOR]With a growing sense of confidence she reaches within her clothes and withdraws what looks like to be a few small reptilian scales. Lost in a whispering prayer she holds them out in the palm of her hand towards Leonara. At the end of the prayer a faint green glow briefly hovers over the scales. ~~~~ Seeing no other harpies in sight the group rest their gazes upon the young harpy which had killed their newfound friend Thyrd, without a word the group exchanges grim looks between each other, and the harpies fate is sealed in a matter of seconds. Sighting down the shaft of his bow Jack takes careful aim at the harpy and releases an arrow at his hated target, the arrow speeds thru the air and strikes the foul beast but bounces off her tough hide, causing no damage. Leonara, empowered by Nira's spell with supernatural quickness, releases 3 arrows, one arrow whistles harmless past the harpy while the other two find their mark and sink into her chest and abdomen, with blood in her mouth the harpy manages one last defiant look before falling back on top of the slain elf, and breaths her last breath.
