[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 3609502, member: 41485"] Torhan swings one more time, determined to damage if not disable the creature before him. With a CRACK! the gnome breaks free of the tanglefoot, leaning back to land again in a crab, and straighten back up backwards, with arms as legs and legs as arms--not that the gnome seems to notice. Torhan's swing goes wild. The gnome rushes Torhan, trying to take advantage of the opening. Torhan pivots on his sword to dodge the shot and recover. The gnome stops. He points over to the coach. He crouches for a lunge towards the others gathered there. He leaps, only to be blocked by Torhan. The paladin breathes heavily, triumphant in preventing the gnome's advance. Yet then, there is a chill in his chest. Torhan looks down to see where the gnome's hand has breached his armor... feels the drawing of blood away from him... Torhan crumples to the ground in shock [COLOR=DimGray](-12 hp)[/COLOR]. Fr. Berman and Darian drag Calahan away from the gnome-thing, up toward the coach and Ru. The coach rocks back and forth as Tavish continues to wrestle with the horses, yet the uncertainty of the carriage seems preferable to the certain destruction emanating from Edditomas' head. Fr. Berman prays to the lady while Darian continues singing. Suddenly, Kitten rushes under Darian's arm to bound back into the coach. Calahan starts sputtering as life charges back into him [COLOR=SlateGray](+9 hp)[/COLOR]. Alek appears by Fr. Berman as Ru fires a cover shot--which fails to cause damage. [COLOR=White]"Get him in the coach. We need to get out of here," [/COLOR] Alek states to Fr. Berman. He pulls Marionette's cloak off with a flourish. Using it as a makeshift shield, he gingerly approaches Torhan. Marionette follows with him. Her full figure is revealed for the first time--trim, athletic, hardened. She carries the poise of a dancer, and her steady gait suddenly droops, seemingly limp, yet showing the fruit of years of self-control. But most noticeable about her are her hands. Her arms--end. In stumps. Chains dangle from the ends of her arms. At the end of each set of chains dangle what seem to be her hands--rigid, hard, cold. She swings her hands around as she interposes herself between Torhan and the gnome-thing. [B][SIZE=1]Ru: 16/30 Torhan: -1/40 Calahan: 3/23 Fr. Berman: 26/30 Darian: 11/20[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
