[QUOTE="jasamcarl, post: 1418662, member: 1251"] As Norri gets back on his feet and begins to the process of quickly reloading his crossbow, another red bolt runs from the base of the stone slab to the ground immediatly behind Tarowyn, who is arching his arrow for another shot at the shaman. Another small stone creature arises, attempting to break the elf's legs with a slam of its rocky appendage; Tarowyn is just able to avoid. Its larger kin closes with the elf quickly, the clomping of its huge feet making the ground shake slightly. The elemental facing Jericho, undetterred by the shattering of its two fellows steps forward and swings at the D'orite's legs, which, thanks to a mix of dexterity and enchanted black armor, fail to buckle. Another elemental chases after the mounted Whitney, but it fails to connect a blow for the brief moment it closed before the Lady trots off, circumventing the plot of ground covered in arcane webbing. The other two elementals struggle unsuccesfully to break free of the conjured material that binds them. The shaman shifts form again, reverting to the small goblinoid, sitting on the north edge of the obelisk, facing Tarowyn. It yells something in a rough language that none of you recognize. As Tarowyn attempts to take closer aim at the shaman, the stone men surrounding attempt sideways slams with their arms, the larger aiming for the Elf's arms, the smaller for his legs. Tarowyn deftly ducks under the former and then leaps over to avoid the latter attack, returing to a standing state to let off two arrows at the shaman. Both arrows find its right arm, one managing to dig deep enough for the arrow to remain protruding. Whitney's arcane bolt finds the goblin's back, a quick flame erupting from the goblin's flesh. A shrill scream erupts through the forest, sending crows fluttering from the surrounding woods to flight over head. Jericho's blade comes in sideways, cleaving almost all the way through the small stone creature's torso, leaving it wobbly, but standing. He then withdraws back towards where Bhartus and Norri are prepping their crossbows, rejecting another attack by the stoneman with his shield. Norri fires off a bolt upwardat the now severly wounded shaman, but the little one isn't complacent, trapsing with little feet along the top of the obelisk. The large earth elemental smashes its fist into Tarowyn's arm crushing it. The pain is so immence that the elf keels over onto the ground. [I]Tarowyn is unconscience.[/I] Jericho's retreat is followed up with a charge by his earthen advisery, a slug in the lightly armored stomach follows. [I]Jericho takes 10.[/I] The small earth elemental chasing Whitney closes with the lady.
