In his wrath, Aanzu slays all in his path. The goblin he targets is lifted by his strike, falling down in a mess of blood and bones. They are no challenge for Aanzu's strength, and they know it. The others cower against the southern wall, reaching for their slings in a desperate attempt to defend themselves, as an orc advances, sword in hand, determined to show his strength against the raging dragon. Stones flick around as the goblins miss their strikes and the orc cries out war as he rushes against Aanzu. The prince turns, and in his distraction a single pebble strikes his head, opening a cut right under his horn [4 points of damage]. The prince has no time to direct his fury against the small one, since the orc's curved blade descends, trying for Aanzu's neck and missing by a large margin. The prince is now engaged in a pit fight against the warrior as the goblins profit from the opportunity, gathering more stones to attack once more!As for Icosa, his flight lands him at a vantage point, and his aim is true. The targeted creature is suddenly crossed by light, falling down soon after, twitching as the ambers of its calcinated chest grow cold. The heavy warforged does not find safety, though, as and orc advances at full charge, cursing the machineman to deep hells! The curved sword descends, getting stuck in between Icosa's chest and right arm [7 points of damage], having the orce struggle to pull it of. He does so, but at the expense of his agility [the orc loses dex bonuses next turn].HARFIK/LYLLIE/KETHRA[I'll write Kethra off in due time, ok? Leave it to me! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />]Harfik's astounding feat startles the ogress even more. The kick throws her off-balance as she reached for her belt, delaying her response for a mere second. It is enough, though, to allow Lyllie's spectral hand to do even more harm, as the ogress gasps for air desperately, bleeding from her back and blackened where the hand bruises her. Harfik's lance plunges towards the goblin's chest, cutting him through the ribs. The creature screams in pain and, still alive, tries to run away in desperation, allowing a second plunge of the weapon. This time, the goblin is impaled, and Harfik is even forced to shake the creature's corpse loose from his spear.From the distance, Lyllie sees as the enemies close on her allies. As soon as Harfik assumes his stance once more, four enemies jump against him. Short swords and scimitars try to cut his flesh, his skillful moves avoiding most of the damage. Still, excess takes it's toll, and Harfik is hit on his chest and back during the spins and flips he coordinates to dodge all attacks [3 points of damage, and then 7 more]As for Lyllie, she watches as Kethra fends off two goblins that jumped on her, only to meet Sardath's turning gaze as she finally reaches for her belt. With a quick move, she attacks Kethra's armor with an empty hand, a confusing move, Lyllie thinks, until she sees the dark truth: the gasping ogress placed some strange, glowing device to Kethra's - now bleeding - shoulder, and as the guardswoman screams in pain, the shambling Sardath tries to escape, struggling with Lyllie's spell. Sardath's voice rises, almost as if it tried to chuckle through the mass in her throat, attacks coming from both Kethra and Harfik as she stumbles forward. Only a cut is added to the already extensive collection of scars and wounds on Sardath's back, but still she limps away, a satisfied look over her shoulder.As Kethra understands Sardath's deed, she throws herself to the back, struggling to rid herself of the object, but in vain. She leaps over the table and goes west, towards a bonfire. As Kethra passes, enemies run from her, trying to find shelter.THULWAR/YTTRIANThulwar's words are held with distrust by the slaves, but as the acid breaks the single chain that ties all captured men to the walls and floor, they become more receptive to the small one's presence. Not a moment later, Tink's 'whrring' sounds fill the corridor as the mecha-spider shakes of pieces of flesh and blood from an orc."Whoever you are" - a gnome says - "Thank you... They can't reach the vault. we must stop them!" - he seems anguished."There are others. They'll come" - a man says, boarding desperation. "They hold Teraphim weaponry... They'll kill us all!" - as he nears a breakdown, the miners by the doors decide to fight! Two of them jump on an orc, rolling on the floor as they try to disarm or hurt the creature! The others man the pikes and run towards the doors, ready to kill anyone in their paths!On the other side, Ytttrian beats the dust from his armor. As he gathers his senses, enemies leap forward to attempt on his life before he can snap out of his confusion! Their weapons resound against Yttrian's armor, clearly made of stronger material than they first considered.EVERYONESeeing the impending attack, the giantess rises, trying to reach her child, but two orcs stand in the way! She uses her massive strength to bring one of them down, clashing against the female greenskin and sending her down almost immediately. In the back, towards the eastern halls, horns of warning resound, making the entire cave tremble![Ok, let us go for the next actions!]</blockquote>
