Was this a flind? He didn't really know. What he did know was that it was an odd-looking gnoll, with glowing eyes, a dyed mohawk-mane, and a crazed, snarling mouth.Lionel shot the thing first, and then disappeared into the underbrush behind Tommi. Oh-Six buzzed away from the vulture and flew down to distract the flind (or whatever it was) while Tommi sent a stone that struck it in the muzzle, breaking a tooth.The gnoll-flind shook its head, laughing maniacally, and swung its gnarled staff in circles. Suddenly the vulture began to smoke, twist, and grow. It looked terribly pained, and Tommi thought for a moment that the gnoll had confused it for something on their side - attacked it with a harmful spell. But then the vulture split into two, and then two again. Four man-sized vultures remained, twisted by the gnoll's magic. They dove through the tree, breaking through branches as they came right for him.The first two landed on top of him, and he rolled with the first peck from a mighty beak. Then a second one landed on top of him, and it lifted him off his feet by his tunic (and skin), then dropped him back down and hammered him with a thrust of its beak while flapping wings made it hard for him to escape.To make matters worse, the two vultures so crowded him, that the third couldn't wait its turn. Instead, it turned its beak on the nearby prisoner, and disemboweled the poor fellow, pecking away in glorious gore. The fourth chose to swoop right, and dove on Oh-six, who had to create a little force field to stop from being torn apart. Even with the field, the beak went through, and Oh-six had a piece of chassis bent outward, marring the otherwise near-perfect sphere.Lionel watched from under a bush in terror and concern for his friend and horror and regret at what had happened to the prisoner.[ooc]The flind (shaman, actually, sorry for the icon) conjured animals, who rolled horribly well. Tommi took 8 (4 from UD), then 5 & 8 (17 total); Prisoner1 took 13 (done him in); Oh-Six took 7 (& used shield to prevent 8).
