Puna Tani & Lani
The Shaman struggles to hold Lani down and chant the
call to calm at the same time, but her flailing is such that he stumbles over the words breaking his
concentration and the rhythm of the spell. He must try again from the beginning!
Wai & Tu-Ru
Wai is also not so lucky in tackling the panicked O'Punga. Though he manges to grab his friends muscled leg it is to little avail. Tu-Ru continues running dragging the scrocerer (with arms wrapped around Tu-Ru's thigh, legs failing out behind him) along for the ride - Wai can either hold on and hope or simply let go!
Tatiki & the Shadow Beast
Back alone against the beast Tatiki again attempts to keep the shadow back but his slash goes wide and that is the opening the beasts takes advantage of. Pouncing in Tatiki screams as icy fangs bite down upon his shoulder and he is knocked into the ground. Combining with the earlier wounds from the Vine Tatiki, struggles as the warmth is drained from his body, knowing that
he is near collapse.
Beyond the barrier the Darkness rises triumphantly and it is then looking up through the gathering darkness that the druid sees a strange figure emerge from the undergrowth - it is Puna Tani's creature, the strange bird the pair saved from the vine but its eyes ablaze with supernatural light.
Rushing forward the
nanakia leaps in, its hind talons ripping into the shadow beasts hide, knocking it sideways, enough for Tatiki to rise.
Alone within its circle the pot-bellied sprite still lies stunned where he was left...
(ooc
the Nanakia is Puna Tani's summoned monster - empowered by Tatiki's prayer to Kahukura
- so Puna Tani I'll let you describe its actions. and Tatiki your HP are
very low atm...)
