Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[GruTheWanderer]

Arramor steps away from the golden female and sends a bolt of searing light at the blue demon. It misses and burns a fist-sized hole through the nearest tree. Amanu's pistol shot and Erenal's crossbow do no better, as the creature dodges with inhuman speed.

The lizardfolk seem not to understand Amanu's statement, or not care, or both. The leader doggedly follows Arramor, but his armor deflects all her attacks. Two others pursue Erenal, keeping him ducking and weaving after his crossbow shot. Only the one closest to Marcus seems to realize the danger, and claws at the demon in vain.

Marcus comes very close to the creature with his swing, but again it moves just out of reach. As Theryndil disappears, the creature pounces forward to attack the chain-swinger instead. He hits with claw, foot, and knee-blade (26 damage), sparing a single punch to finish off the nearby reptile foe (17 damage). It croaks in Draconic, "The ally of my allies is my enemy."

Leopard moves in, striking and missing the demon with her battleaxe.

 

[Keia]

Marcus will step back from the demon (5' adjust) and, with grim determination, attack the demon with a trip attack from the spiked chain. If it fails, Marcus will drop the chain rather than be subject to the counter trip. Marcus, (if unarmed) will then draw a dagger in one hand and the wand of clw in the other.



"Okay . . . that hurt . . . Get those lizard men . . . into the fray. Especially the . . . golden one. Healing in order here."

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Moving along...

Arramor moves up behing Marcus and casts cure serious wounds, restoring strength to the badly hurt fighter (18hp cured).

Erenal and Amanu fire crossbow and pistol again, but still the beast eludes them.

The combat between the demon and the members of the squad seems to have finally convinced the lizardfolk to refocus their attacks. The golden leader and two of the others move forward warily and take single claw strikes at it. The two smaller lizardfolk distract the beast, allowing the leader to score a hit (9 damage).

Marcus wraps Cramp around the leg of the armored creature, but finds it quite difficult to pull off its feet. The creature almost disarms him in return, but the flail pulls free at the last moment.

Leopard strikes and misses with the battleaxe, then falls back before a heavy onslaught of blows from the beast (26 damage).

Theryndil remains invisible, knowing he could not withstand the creature's attacks should it locate him. The dwarves and remaining lizardfolk appear to be in no condition to join the fight, either.

Fifth round coming up. Actions, please.

 

[garyh]

Theryndil will move to 210' away and then fire at the blue demon (-2 range penalty).

 

[novyet]

Erenal will keep firing, hopefully connecting. "If this keeps up, we'll have no choice but to retreat."

 

[Keia]

Marcus will try to stay at the 10' range, flank the bionoid (to get the +2 to hit bonus and sneak damage), and attack with Cramp.

Marcus will look at the bionoid, are the wounds from our previous foray still there?

If so,
"Any spells from the gallery that would help we sure could use now. Arramor, keep the healing coming. Look, it bleeds. We've got this shot, let's make the best of it!"


If not
"Leopard, lead Haworth and the others away from here. The rest of you, fighting retreat - you know the drill."

 

[perivas]

Amanu unleashes two magic missiles at the blue demon. He then proceeds to move toward Marcus.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Arramor is unable to get to Leopard amidst the combatants, so settles for curing Marcus again (16 healed).

Amanu invokes his spell, sending two globes of energy arcing into the creature's chest (7 damage). Erenal continues firing with his crossbow, but surmises a hit would be nearly impossible given the cover provided by the other melee combatants.

The lizardfolk continue to aid one another, allowing the leader to get another claw hit (10 damage). Marcus takes advantage of their flanking manuevers to score a massive hit with Cramp (18 damage). The wounds from the previous fight are gone, so Marcus calls for a fighting retreat.

As Leopard pulls away from the blue demon, it uses its attacks to savage the lesser lizardfolk, dropping one unconscious (13 damage) and kicking the other (10 damage). The creature itself appears quite hurt, but shows no signs of retreat.

Theryndil moves away at full speed. Next round he will be in position to fire.

Seventh round coming up. Actions, please.

 

[perivas]

OOC: How close am I to Marcus? How close are people for the blue demon?

 

[Keia]

Barring a change in based on the placement of the combatants, Marcus will continue to try to flank the creature and attack it. If the bionoid moves away or does an action to provoke an attack of opportunity, Marcus will take it.

Once the non-combatants get farther away, Marcus will call for the retreat and start a fighting withdrawl himself.

"Amanu, those worked well - keep them coming if possible. Good job all, keep up the pressure."

Marcus will check on those retreating and their status after he attacks. Once the non-combatants get farther away, Marcus will call for the retreat and start a fighting withdrawl himself.
