Get them off me!OOC: Init order - Jokad (22), Danth(14), Jovik (10), Swarm (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1973848/" target="_blank">8</a>), Kael (5)As the foul black swarm envelopes him Jokad's senses are overwhelmed by the caress of oily wings and stench of disease and rot. He manages to hold his gorge as he flails about madly trying to regain his bearings.What he lacks for in subtlety, he more than makes up for in brute strength and passion. He swings around like a madman as the biting swarm swoop and brush past him. For a moment everything is plunged into blackness as he is covered by the beasts. He closes his eyes instinctively, batting and swiping their bodies aside. He can hear their bones cracking beneath his blows.Danth is thankful that Sarenae's power was able to affect at least some of the vile creatures. As they swarm close, enveloping Jokad first, before swallowing him up in their mass, he forces down the bile in his throat over their foul stench, and in the blink of an eye, Crimson Dawn is in his hand, the weapon's blade wreathed in scarlet flames. He slashes and cuts ate the birds flying all about, unsure of how effective his weapon will be against so many small foes...Very effective, it turns out. He watches their bodies catch and burn as he swipes at them, and manages to just about bat and block the hundreds that flock around him.Jovik, sensing the tide turning, almost literally as the first group of birds detach from the attack and start to pull off into the sky, throws Gulls Wing into the fray. He spears two birds.The fight seems to have left them.Jokad is still swinging, his eyes shut tight, as the swarm departs. Their numbers have been decimated. Jokad opens his eyes, and smiles.Well over half the birds are dead. Hundreds. Perhaps thousands. The rest have spread far and wide in disarray as they flee.OOC: Technically Jokad's attack was enough to defeat the swarm (on a pure game-mechanic perspective), but given the initiative order I thought it only fair to give you all a bit of the glory.</blockquote>
