Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashy" data-source="post: 1861844" data-attributes="member: 312">Rushing down the steep rock hillside, both Kyron and Julian lose their footing and pitch forward, striking the smooth, weathered stones hard.  Loud cracks and oofs of expelled air echo out across the ever-cooling night air and catch the attention of Tristan...Meanwhile, Kiera rushes towards the falling form of Xerxes, trying to judge from his erratic half-flight, half-fall as to where he will land.  She wants to be there at the very moment he strikes; the words to her most powerful healing prayer literally leaping to her lips....His eyes drying in a very uncomfortable fashion, Baja come's back to reality with a wee yelp and starts blinking in an effort to be able to see properly again, all the while thinking how to slow down this sudden descent. With a grunt and a wiggle that started from the hips, Baja did his best to angle the glider so that whatever flat planes were left to it's wings could catch as much air as possible in an effort to slow down somewhat.He soon learned that the still attached, but halved form of Yarish was not providing him any assistance and in fact was drawing him, with alarming quickness, closer and closer to the surface of the spire.It is then that Xerxes does something totally unexpected...He angles his part of the glider, using the other half of poor Yarish as a directional weight, towards Baja.  Using gravity as his ally instead of his enemy, he soon finds himself very close to the half-orc; suddenly a long strand of milky white goo zips forth from his hands, crackling with violet and green energy...The strand of goo strikes Baja and totally entangles both him and his glider in the blink of an eye.  The Xeph then angles his glider away from Baja ------- and towards a quickly approaching outcrop of rock...Luck seems to be with the Xeph and his glider just barely clears the outcrop on the north side, with the entangled Baja falling on the south, with a horrible snapping sound, the ectoplasmic strand slaps against rock, but it holds.  The two companions, still strapped in their gliders, swing in towards one another striking each other with bone-crushing force...Neither make a further sound.They hang there, suspended by a strand of goo and a tiny spur or rock, unconcious...You don't know whether they are alive or dead.OOC: Kyron and Julian take 2 points of damage from their fall.  Xerxes and Baja are approximately 30 feet below you, but you see no path which leads to their current location.  At its nearest point, the path which brought you up to the cave brings you within a 50 ft. lateral leap of them.  You all still have your actions this round, save Baja and Xerxes, of course...</blockquote>
