C&C: A Lion in the Ropes

[mps42]

Waving his warhammer, vergart taunts the Worg " I run with whom I choose, worg. Come and prove me wrong!"

 

[driver8]

Colm smashes his star down on the worg. The weapon impacts heavily on the beast with an ugly crunch.

Wounded, the worg shakes its head as if stunned, then looks up at Colm with a terrible look in its eyes.

James Ferdinand III Human Ranger2

James rushes to help Colm, letting loose a battlecry as he charges: "Today is a good day for someone else to die!"

OOC:Thank you, Terry Pratchett, for the best war cry ever

Yondo

Mindful of the goblin and the other Worg, Yondo again loads his crossbow and aims for the talking Worg, closing to medium range or less if possible before letting fly his bolt.

 

[Kuld]

Norgim

Blood pours from the worg's wounds as it turns to look at Vergart. "Orc..fool..you would run with dwarves.." it growls with some difficulty, "..with dwarves.."

"Better to be runnin' with a dwarf than to be runnin' from one, as ye soon will find out!!" Norgim says through his panting as his stubborn little legs propel him forward.
"Turn and fight ye blasted mutt!!" Norgim positions his axe, ready to deal the killing blow.

Fatcoin sheaths his dagger and steps over the dead goblins body and behind its tree. He turns loading his bow and fires as many arrows as possible into the silent Worg fighting Colm.

Round 3

James continues down the line, his battlecry on his lips and his wood axe in hand. The silent worg attempts to use the tree as cover from the attack, but is too slow to avoid the blow.

In a violent instance, the corpse of the beast lies unmoving at the feet of Colm and James.

Norgim

Frustrated that taunting the evil beast isn’t working, Norgim tries a new tactic. One that will help him manage his wind while he’s running, boost his morale and (hopefully) really upset the vile worg into attacking.
He sings...

"Aww….Deep in the mountain’s me dwarven hall..

Where the fires burn and the hammers fall..

As answers we give ta Moradin’s call…

Yay oh ay! let the hammers fall…."


Over and over...

 

[driver8]

The worg stares at Norgim, Vergarts dagger still in its side. "Sing all you wish dwarf, and count your blessings to your god that my entire pack was not here this day."

With that, the monster turns and runs to the west. Despite its wounds, the creature covers the ground quickly. The worg passes through the tree and then without halting, jumps from the riverbank into the swift moving river.

Yondo

If there is anyone else near the talking Worg pursuing it, Yondo turns back to the south to see if anyone else needs help. If not, he makes sure his crossbow is loaded and follows to the river bank, trying to discern the talking Worg's intentions, if it is in fact running away.
