[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 3837462, member: 22226"] Starhl's battle with the Erunsil wages across the stony, blood-soaked ground: Starhl's mighty thews versus the speed of the Erunsil. Starhl's heavy blade sings through the screaming wind, striking the Erunsil, the She-Elf screaming in pain. She lunges, her knees buckling, burying both blades in Starhl's chest before the Wolf clamps its heavy jaws on the back of her neck and she knows no more... [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Starhl hit the Erunsil with good damage. The Erunsil hit Starhl for 12 points of damage before the Wolf killed her.[/COLOR] Cerendil looks up weakly as Lodric rushes over. Lodric's powerful blow connects easily, sending the weakened Elf tumbling to the ground to lie in a bloody heap. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Lodric knocked out Cerendil.[/COLOR] Herger takes a step toward Cerendil to see the Elf crumple under Lodric's fist. Turning, he bears down on the scimitar-wielding Caransil, the Elf unwilling to answer his question. The Caransil turns its attention from the wounded, and apparently inept Gnome, to the onrushing Giant. The Caransil lithely turns to avoid Herger's massive bulk, but not his heavy axe which bites deeply into the Elf. The Elf slashes once with its scimitar, its blade tracking a viscous slash across Herger's midsection. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: The Caransil ignored Mardo when Herger charged. Herger hit the Caransil with average (for Herger) damage. The Elf's scimitar does 7 points of damage to Herger.[/COLOR] Out of the corner of his eye, Valurel sees his kinswoman fall. He has little time to dwell on his feelings, as he bounds across the rubble-strewn ground toward Aislinn. Racing past the altar, Valurel reaches the ruined pillar and its small slab of masonry on which Aislinn rests. Striking to climb the column, Valurel catches movement out of the corner of his eye. As he turns, stabbing pain rips through his gut. Glancing down, his lifeblood soaking his legs and ground, he looks up to see...Cyz. Gone is the Sarcosan woman he knew. Completely nude, long, reddish hair blowing in the wind, long legs cocked and hips akimbo, gore-covered long-knife and with uncovered, ample breasts bared in the chill breeze, her heritage is evident: great, bat-wings spring from her supple back and a long, impish tail curls around her smooth stomach.
