Ye gods, he thinks. Some of our best are all stabbed up, these rat-faced guys seem barely scratched, we're split right down the middle, and I just can't focus.A mental beat.Time to start actually doing stuff, I figure.Without really thinking about it, his legs carry him on a course on a slight tangent from the one to where Thargon and Octavio are fighting, giving him a clear shot at it. The moment it comes up, he holds his hand out towards the creature; the air shimmers briefly, and then a jet of fire lances straight towards it, scorching fur and clothes and flesh, and causing the creature to loose an inhuman squeal of pain.  (ooc:  Note the -4 for shooting into melee applies.  This still hits, though)Frustrated by the creatures resiliance, William tried to strike him agian, but though he lands a solid blow, the monster's flesh immediately knits together.  Tank leaps forward to slash deep into the thing, shouting  "I will not be ignored!"  His powerful blow leaves a serious wound even after the creature's tough skin absorbs what damage it can.  Thargon grunts as he cuts again at Octavio's foe, swinging harder this time, but <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1738819/" target="_blank">unable</a> to connect solidly.  Phelan emerges from the trees behind the creature and attempts to distract it for Tankard.  His face is contorted in fear and worry and his <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1738822/" target="_blank">feeble</a> sickle waving is not enough to distract the creature.  (ooc:  Tankard and William are both flanking now, though) Round 5William's foe snarls with hate and pain, and attacks again, hoping to finish the man off.  But between its wounds and the new foes attacking it, it <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1738823/" target="_blank">fails</a> to threaten William seriously.  Octavio's foe has only slightly better luck, in that he succeeds in making Octavio duck, but is still <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1738826/" target="_blank">unable</a> to draw blood with either tooth or blade.  Octavio...Initiative?
