Gods preserve me, he's strong! Brioc thinks as pain clouds his mind. Still swaying slightly from the force of Gruk's blow, he lunges again, praying to finish this quickly.
Brioc replies firmly.
"The blade is no crueller than your intent for my friends, cousin."
"But I promise you, I will not use it against your people unless in my own defence. I bear no malice to your race."

Round 5 (con't)
Marcus ducks and thrusts with his weapon, but he can't get by his opponents wide sheild. He feels he has really seen better days, as the studded club deflects off his helmet, sending his head spinning (4 pts dmg)
Brioc responds grimly in Druidic, but his blade probably carries more weight, as it opens another nasty cut in his reptilian opponent (another 19 points).
Tullius manages to catch the Croc a glancing blow on the head, and takes out one of its eyes. It's starting to look pretty bad. It bites out at its torturer, catching Tullius' left arm in its mouth. Tullius pulls away, leaving his forearm in ribbons (9 pts dmg).
Mendicus, seeing Brioc facing the main opponent alone (at least initially), finally acts, threading his way across the room to his side, still carrying his torch and sword.
Ehldannis shoots again at Gruk, and again misses, as he must try to avoid hitting his friends.
Octar deftly spins away from the thrashing croc, and steps to Brioc's side. Seeing an opening, he thrusts his sword deep into Gruk's side. As black blood spills out, the shamen crumples to the ground, gasping weakly "No! Wait..."
I'll assume Dhormium, sensing the direction of battle, stays for one more swing for retreating for his spell. Dhormium, seeing the half-blind croc turning him a blind eye, brings his axe down hard, severing its spine. It dies with a gurgle. Ehldannis' fiendish wolf bites the dying creature & shakes it.
Round 6
Marcus swings his short sword, only vaguely aware of the events in other parts of the room. Again, his blade clanks ineffectively off the hide sheild. Stumbling forward, he sees the club descending at his head. but suddenly, the lizardman stiffens, and crashes forward, Tullius' axe in the back of its head.
An uneasy silence falls, and the orange glow of Brioc's black blade dims.
<combat ends>
Everyone except Ehldannis and Mendicus is injured. Quick HP summary for those not keeping track:
Marcus 12, Brioc 9, Tullius 5, Octar 13, Dhormium 20, wolf 4

ooc: no problem with that interuption manzanita.
~Dhormium stands still, he leans on the handle of his axe, clearly winded from the battle. What a mess, what a slaughter, those in the hallway that alone would have been enough. The image of the a splitt skull jumps to mind.
What was this all good for? and what do these scaled ones have to do with sergius!
and suddenly, reality strikes him, not all this blood is from the slain ones. Tullius' arm, Octars burn wound, marcus will have new scars too...Clangedin i'll need your power to heal!~
"Tullius! let me see to that arm, Marcus I will help you next! Brioc, are you okay? you look pretty bad too!
Ehldannis, how long will your enchantment affect the sleeping lizards?
ooc: discard the remaining 2 2nd lvl spell and cure tullius and marcus 2d8+4

"I'm all right for now," says Octar, breathing heavily. "Brioc- there are still two alive out in the hallway. What of them?"

Dropping his scimitar to the floor, Brioc kneels beside Gruk.
He mutters quietly, feeling for a pulse at the lizardman's neck. If there is still any spark of life in the druid, he chants a short phrase in the old language, and lets a dim green light flow into Gruk's body.
(Casting cure minor wounds if Gruk's still alive.)
"Gods know cousin, I show you more mercy than you intended for my friends."

"Stupid slinky," Marcus says as he knees by the lizardman he had so recently been fighting and checks to see if it lives. If it does, he attemps to staunch the blood loss.
ooc: Unskilled skill check +4
Once done, he heads over to the doors (the ones that we came through) and inspects the mechanism to see if they can be closed, and opened again from this side. If there is any doubt, he will ask the dwarf for his opinion.
ooc: Disable Device +6? Open Lock +7? not sure which is appropriate.
"If we can open and close the doors from in here, it would make a convinient place to rest, eat, whatever.
"Who is watching those doors?" Marcus indicates the doors that the other end of the room. "There are more of the slinkies through there."
"Octar. You're bleeding again."
