Hope Never Dies - Part 1 : On the threshold of dawn

[Voadam]

Lizards in the mist

Kur goes into sneaky mode, stepping carefully off at an angle, he moves on dry firm ground only that will not betray his presence. Depending on his nose, ears, and wilderness lore, the orc maneuvers silently through the fog. He leaves the javelins where they lie, to pick them up could reveal him.

Without his clanky armor Kur is better at this type of game. First strike can win a contest like this, and Kur is ready to play.

Peregrine watches the knight stand up and issue the threat.

"No. Who are you? Why are you doing this? Why don't you just leave these people in peace?"

[ooc- he will try and stand so as to be block the knight from the girl and the farmer, and stand his ground, ready an action to attack if the knight closes in]

Saxon dives briefly again, sizing up the sharks.

Hmm, not too big, I could pretend to be one of them without much difficulty. Being underwater is far safer than lingering on the surface with a hurricane.

Saxon dives back underwater to shift his form into that of an 8 foot long blue shark. He moves about a little, getting used to his new form, then prepares himself for the sharks' next reaction, whatever that may be.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Your arm is weakened by the pain you're going through and you can't escape the other George's strong grasp.
"Oh really you won't? and how? Sending awful nightmares to the bad bad George? Show me what you're worth!"

 

[Lichtenhart]

For a single, heavy moment, everything turns still and silent in the swamp. Lizardfolk is difficult to track by scent, because their smell is not very different from the rotting mud of the marsh. In this strange silence, you hear a single drop of water falling, about forty feet to your right.

 

[Lichtenhart]

The knight roars again and makes a lunge in your direction. You quickly raises Laerad hoping to catch him off guard, but this time he expects your blow and dives under it. Fortunately the distraction makes his swing go wide too.
Another knight arrives from your right. The farmer readies his fork, taunting him to charge, and another man steps out from the crowd. He looks like a southerner, eagle's feather adorning his braids. He carries a spear with the colors of his tribe, and joins the farmer on the line. The newly arrived knight, that wears a sligthly different helmet but always pitch black, seems to hesitate for a moment.

 

[Lichtenhart]

The sharks are bewildered for a moment, the sudden change in your smell and the water getting more and more troubled make them uncomfortable they're about to decide what to do with you when the surface blossoms like a flower of fire, and a thunder echoes all around you.
Your solid black eyes are blinded for a moment, the image of a thousand blue fingers of light floating in front of you, etched on your retinas.
When your vision turns normal again you see one of the sharks slowly sinking into the depths, a trickle of blood escaping its gills.
You would expect its mates to prey on him, but they are swimming away from the storm instead, as fast as they can. Something must have really scared them, you think.

 

[Festy_Dog]

This is one savage storm, I'd better get deeper, out of the lightning's reach.

Saxon spirals deeper underwater in an effort to escape the hurricane's grasp.

 

[Kalanyr]

George ceases his attempt to pull away

"What? Why would I send you nightmares? "

Edit:- George readies an attempt to trip his opponent (with a legsweep) if the other George makes a hostile action.

 

[hafrogman]

Peregrine watches the new arrival carefully, but makes no move to attack unless he is attacked. He stares down the two knights.

"Leave us in peace."

[ooc - hold action to attack any knight that attacks any of our line up.]
