[QUOTE="Land Outcast, post: 3104319, member: 29160"] As Shoon relinquishes his cover to move into offensive position, an arrow lodges on the snow a few centimeters from his left foot, but instead of ignoring the arrow, the quiet matial artist swiftly brings it to his hand and bolsters his speed, almost sliding over the snow... When he reaches the trunk of the tree, darkness nonwithstanding, he takes both the sai and the arrow, using them to with unearthly grace fluidly climb up the pine. And when he's near enough to the offending archer, leaves the arrow lodged to propell himself on it -against all odds the arrow stands his weight for a splinter second- and jumps... Absolutely unforseen, the jump ends with a stunningly precise kick, breaking the hobgoblin's neck; and now, Shoon falls onto the snow, with feline style... one second later the corpse falls behind him. Balund quickly knocks arrow to bow, takes aim around the trunk of the tree he is using for cover, but his aim is off, he hadn't aimed at the archer, he aimed at one of the shadows... Still not certain where his foes lie, Ivan reaches for a dagger from his belt and attempts to join his friends under cover, scanning the area for the remaining foe. Thoma rushes forward leaping to behind a tree near the archers, once he reaches his tree a throwing axe coming to his hand and is launched at the guard... wood... a cracking sound... a pretty big branch plunges down onto the snow, with the throwing axe lodged onto it. He smells fear. Seeing the fate of his companion, the remaining archer loses another arrow, this time Shoon receives the impact, deeply into his tigh, the piercing arrowhead cold into his flesh. After all this, the Duskblade incants briefly, arcane words streaming from his lips, until a red hot orb of stone appears in his hand wreathed with arcane power. The blazing boulder makes full impact on the hobgoblin's chest, acting as a pointer for everyone, lasting some seconds before being quenched under the archer's howl of pain. To this howl, another one answers, but this one a black dog's howl. [SIZE=1][COLOR=Red]OOC: 22. Shoon: Attack "20", "20"; Critical hit "99"->Pierced Skull, Fort "30" or die 19. #1: Dead 11.
