The alley suddenly seems claustrophobic and ominously cavernous, the creaking parapets of the warehouses around you overloaded with goods, the two moons above barely casting enough light to see by. The creatures appear to be clambering out of the grates in the ground in front and behind you, and you can hear the water dripping off their soaked carcassesThen, two of them are upon you, even as the others arrise from the waterway below. From the back of the alley, a waterlogged, filthy human-like figure lunges in, slashing at the surprised Kossite with it's talons, gouging his shoulder and scenting the mist with blood (3hp).From the mouth of the alley, another one shuffles forwards, an angry moan on it's drawn lips... before it's got more than a few paces, Tyra levels her firearm at it's chest, and the pistol barks, answered by it's own echo. Half obscured as it is, you can only see some part of it blown off, and landing on the ground with a watery splash, whatever bit of the beast it is seems to liquify... but the creature continues to shuffle forwards, unrelenting.Kneecap, half-crouched in the alleyway seems overlooked by the creature as it passeses - there are definite advantages to being small and unobtrusive, the gobber thinks to himself - and as it passes he gives a whoop and swings his shillaghle towards his target... and unfortunatly, the blow goes wide, missing the tender knees of the creature as it lunges forward towards Tyra.The Gunmage barely has time to ready herself for the attack... but she ducks back just in time as mud-caked talons snatch at her face. Her attacker stands there, long hair matted and wetly pressed to the skull, skin the bloated, glistening colour of a drowned corpses, teeth sharp and claws long...OOC: T has had her action this turn, as she readied. K made an AoO. E, K and D may still act.</blockquote>
