Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 3 - The Imperials)

Ventus winces as the gargoyle's claws rake his back, but Danica's cry catches his attention more. He cannot defend the others against the gargoyles while he is embroiled in a battle, seperated from the group.

He shrugs off the wounds and continues his focus on the archers. He stabs out once more hoping to quickly drop the satyrs, allowing him to focus on the airborne threat.

[sblock]Continue to focus on the satyrs for now, moving for the most wounded if the current one drops.[/sblock]
 

Danica rolls on her back to reload the crossbow. The pain in her shoulder hurts, but it does not distract her from her task at hand. From her position, she sees one of the gargoyles circling above her, and she sends a bolt coursing through the air towards it. Ten she reloads, conscious of the moisture seeping from the dirt surrounding the castle through her back.
 

Barok bagins to feel the pain of his wounds and suddenly realises the dangerous situation he's in. No longer so keen on continuing the battle he sneers at the Satyres "Why are you still fighting, fools, can't you see your master is dead?", and once again tries to impale the same satyr on his weapons.


ooc: About HPs, I wasn't sure how you wanted them determined, but 21 is as good as any other number.

Hearing Barok's words, Danica too calls out, "Somebody should keep an eye on the Ogre's corpse. You never know what will happen with a wizard."
 

Silas looks from the archers to the flying creatures and back again. He's not certain which is the greater threat but his companions seem to be doing some damage against the archers while the other creatures are fairly uncontested. For the moment. Let's see if I can bring one down within reach of our warriors... Arcane words and phrases rumble from him as he raises one hand and points his palm at one of the flying creatures as it swoops within 30 feet of him. A bolt of scorching light shoots from his palm and towards one of the creatures.

"Aye" acknowledges Dartis and fires two more arrows at a satyr while urging Swift up the steps towards Morduk

OOC: [sblock] Since Swift hasn't got any fun yet :] , I'll let him stomp on Morduk's head a bit to make sure he's dead. Is Morduk's sword an orge sized greatsword, or just a normal greatsword he used one handed? [/sblock]
 

Dartis' two arrows impact the satyr, but the first bounces off its tough skin, while the second only draws a trickle of blood. He moves Swift towards Morduk, but cannot get there immediately due to the melee happening in front of him.

Danica rolls onto her back and fires straight up at the gargoyle that last harmed her. The creature grins at her and freezes for a moment at the sight of the small woman trying to harm it with a mortal weapon. This is no normal weapon, however, and no normal girl. The magic of the crossbow charges her projectile, and she fires the best shot of her life, hitting the monster through the left eye. It shrieks and begins to plummet to the ground, where a waiting Silas lets loose with his own magic and cooks the gargoyle into a twisted mound of hard flesh. (Critical by Danica)

Silas' python uncoils from the archer it killed and moves towards its head to begin its feast.

One of the satyrs fighting Barok stabs the rogue in the side, which causes the former scout to sway from bloodloss (-3 hps to Barok and not looking too good).

Ventus attacks the satyr in front of him, but catches the beastman in the ribs with his short sword, driving the point four inches deep before twisting and yanking outwards. The archer gives a long moan, and falls while trying unsuccessfully to keep his guts inside.

The second satyr attacking Barok flanks the rogue, but fails to hit him. Barok returns the favor, but only barely manages to get through the satyr's tough skin.

Before he can even take a moment to look up, the gargoyle gets by Ventus' armor and slashes the Imperial with a deep gash to his neck before soaring back skyward (-6 hps to Ventus from critical hit).

As Barok and Dartis watch in horror, the body of Morduk disappears.
