I don't see what the big deal is. Aren't all the Curbles dead?
If I recall correctly, the day the Curbles met the Heros of Maissen...
BealeKnight said:...They split up then. Killian and Ren went to the fort’s south side and climbed trees close to each other. About twenty feet up they scooted out on branches as far out as they could. Across the fort, Bessie and Madge did the same. The two teams were out of sight of each other, but birdcalls sent between Ren and Bessie confirmed everyone was in place.
Ren shot first, sending a poisoned arrow into the biggest of the kerbal. Madge followed at once with one going into a smaller one, and Killian sent a glowing bolt of magical pain into the one Ren shot. Bessie’s shot never came. Ren heard a crash and a curse from across the fort, but before he could say anything there came a howl from within the fort.
The kerbals were fully awake and very angry.
Ren and Madge sent a pair of arrows into the biggest one. She, as they could now tell, staggered in pain and howled again. The other two joined her howls and looked around the fort for an enemy. The biggest one pointed up and over, toward Ren and Killian.
The sorcerer sent another bolt of magic into her and she fell to her knees, weaved, then fell forward. Ren shot one of the pair that were now climbing the bee hive tree and he shouted, “They’re climbing this way!” To Killian, he shouted, “Let’s us knock out that healthy one first!”
He was answered by a fan of flames from Killian’s fingertips. The rays of fire struck both kerbals as they scurried onto a large branch toward their attackers. “That’s good enough too,” the hunter whispered, readying another arrow.
If the kerbals noticed or cared that their apparent leader was dead neither showed it. Ren put an arrow into the lead kerbal, the one he thought healthier, and another one struck it from below. Braving a glimpse down, Ren saw Madge – readying another of her arrows.
Killian sent another bolt of magic into that lead kerbal and it finally fell from the tree branch. Madge, for good measure, shot it once it hit ground.
Ren put another arrow into the last kerbal, but it was getting dangerously close. It jumped from its branch onto one ten feet below Killian. The sorcerer sent another bolt into it, but both Ren and Madge’s arrows hit tree bark. The kerbal made a quick climb up and stretched a clawed paw out to strike Killian.
A bolt suddenly appeared in its belly. The kerbal howled and took a desperate swipe at the sorcerer above him, but it was no good. He lost his grip and fell from the tree. When he hit the ground he didn’t even twitch...
Or something like that...
