[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 4253846, member: 34958"] The spearmen nods and runs down into the hold while the hydra moves in once more. Again two heads attack the mast, two more heads attack Dartis, and the other two heads snap at the spearmen. The two heads miss Dartis once more, but one of the elf melee fighters screams as he is snatched by razor-sharp teeth and thrown half-dead into the water. Dartis and his comrades attack once more, severing one hydra's head while deeply wounding another while the archers drive off the heads attacking the mast again. Right in time the elf that Dartis sent out rushes upwards with a bundle of unlit torches dipped in pitch and another one that is burning in his right hand. He holds it to the stump, causing the other hydra heads to scream out. One head snaps at the elf, but misses as he burns the stump a second time and seals it so that the head can't regrow. A second head snaps at the elf and nearly kills him with a large bite to his side, but he falls to the ground and survives. The other heads focus on Dartis, one grasping him in its jaws with a savage strike and nearly biting through his chest ([color=red]-16 hps to Dartis from a critical hit[/color]). The noble is lifted up in the air, but he slices into the neck behind the head that is holding him, causing both to drop back on the deck while a spearmen and archers strike at other heads. The injured elf pours his torch once more into the stub once more, but he is killed outright as a hydra head snaps off his neck. Caramip stops playing and picks up his torch and stabs again into the stub, sealing it. She is bit into by a head in return [color=red](-7 hps tp Caramip)[/color] while a spearman next to her is killed. Dartis and a spearmen take out another head, while Caramip burns the stump closed with the aid of a [i]burning hands[/i] spell from the robed elf. The archers widely miss, however. Dartis suffers another bite, but this one glances him while Caramip almost loses an arm [color=red](-5 hps to Dartis and -11 hps to Caramip)[/color]. As several more arrows thump into its side, the hydra realizes it is fighting a losing battle. It dives into the water and swims rapidly away. The robed mage smiles weakly and says, [color=lightblue]"Once again you save this ship. And I wish I could do you the same turn. If I return to the Elven Council with the news I bring mayhap I will. There is a disease you must know about..."[/color] --- Dartis and Caramip find themselves suddenly off the ship and in front of the board once more. Three tokens are flipped as Dartis rushes forward to check on Caramip's severe wounds. Three 'B's that represent 12s. [color=darkorange]"It's cheating. Looks like someone is upset that you've gotten so close."[/color] [color=lightskyblue]"I didn't know it could interfere with the game.
