Crossed Paths, Part II

[Manzanita]

Round 3 (begun)

Gruk is difficult to see amidst the swarm of spiders, but suddently a large ball of yellow flame bursts forth among the spiders, rolling around the shamen. Spiders pop and burst as the ball rolls through them.

Marcus, despite a beautiful feint, is unable to capitalize, his short sword glancing off his opponent's hard green scales.

Tulius curses, less colorful and more direct, shifting to swing axe high and sword low at the lizardman, trying to hamstring the beast...


(OOC: Nothing special with the attack, just for color, if I hit was swinging low with the sword...>

 

[doghead]

Marcus continues to attack.

 

[Manzanita]

awaiting 3rd round actions by Brioc, Octar & Ehldannis. Ehldannis can actually still take a second round action, can he not? Dhormium is being NPCed for the moment, I believe.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

I posted an action right after your post, Manzanita.

 

[Manzanita]

...so you did, TH, very prompt of you...

 

[Jarval]

Brioc half-stumbles forwards as the scimitar cleanly cleave through his foe. Recovering his footing, he glances back at Octar's question.

"Brioc! Finish the downed ones or leave them?" Octar shouts as Ehldannis' spell takes effect. He flips his grip from the normal position to one suited to stabbing downwards, in anticipation of Brioc's command.

"Leave the sleepers for now, we can deal with them once the others no longer present at threat." Brioc calls back to Octar. He dashes forward, hacking at the lizardman threatening Tullius.

"Get back!" He yells at Wolf, seeing his friend struggle with the crocodile.

(Moving to G6 and attacking the lizardman at F7)

 

[Inez Hull]

Seeing Wolf in trouble Ehldannis calls upon his magic once more, opening an inky portal to the nether hells next to the crocodile. A firey eyed, black coated wolf bounds out with a howl and latches its fangs onto the croc.

Round 3 (con't)

Brioc rushes forward, shouting commands at the wolf and Octar. Pulling the black scimitar back over his head, he slashes down at the lizardman fighting Tullius. Again he feels the odd waterlike sensation as he slices the reptilian man in half. The scimitar glows more orange with each blow and the dry desert smell mixes with the scent of gore in the dim light of torches and swirling bodies.

Tullius, seeing the lizardman fall, focuses his attack on the giant croc. He curses the distractions and the wily croc, as he again fails to draw blood with either weapon. The wolf limps back to Mendicus, as Tullius draws the attention of the croc.

The lizardman facing Marcus recovers his balance, but Marcus ducks under the club as he swings it. The crocodile shifts position, to bring its mouth closer to Brioc, and swings its tail at Tullius' knees. Tullius almost manages to leap over the powerful tail, but is clipped and comes down hard. (11 pts dmg)

Tullius is somewhat relieved to see a fiery eyed, black coated new wolf leap forward out of a black puff of smoke. It leaps at the croc, but can't get a grip on the slashing tail.

Octar and Dhormium, having dispatched all their opponents in the hallway, race back into the room to assist. They split directions, surrounding the great croc.

Round 4 (started)

The flaming ball around Gruk the shamen seemed to quickly kill all the spiders, and with a wave of the lizardman's hand, it now starts rolling towards Octar, as he reaches combat position in front of the croc. Octar, unable to take in all the room's events in time, is unable to dodge it, and he is momentarily engulfed in flame (7 pts dmg - bringing him to 13). Gruk again seems to be muttering in Druidic. (Though he speaks softly, Brioc does hear him & realizes he is casting Shillelagh)

Marcus stabs up under his opponent's large sheild, finally scoring a solid hit on his scaly opponent with his short sword (6 pts)
