She charged at a humanoid near Johann and dealt it a mighty blow. The mace smashed through the creature’s spinal column at the neck. It spasmed and fell, dead before it even hit the ground. She wheeled and dealt with the other humanoid in a like manner. Her blow crushed the enemy’s cheekbone and fragments of cartilage and bone found their way to its brain.Bridget no longer shied away from the gore of combat when her compatriot’s life was on the line. Her mace came down once more, smashing the humanoids collarbone. Watching its entire limb go limp the humanoid dropped its weapon and backed away. Bridget ignored the enemy for a moment and knelt to stabilize Johann.<img src="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0307_bridget_to_the_rescue_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0307_bridget_to_the_rescue.jpg" target="_blank">Bridget to the rescue.</a>Scapa watched the events closely. He suspected these humanoids were not acting alone. He was waiting for what he believed to be their boss to show up. He scanned the sky carefully and spied a small black shape speeding through the air towards Shannon.<img src="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0308_scapas_view_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0308_scapas_view.jpg" target="_blank">Scapa’s view.</a>Scapa unleashed a dark bolt of magical energy that struck the tiny flying drake. The ambusher was ambushed, and the shot was enough to knock it from its path. Shannon felt the claws of the drake go past him and bounce of his chain armor.Distracted, but undeterred, Shannon held his sword ready for the beast to turn and fly by again. The dragon came flying by again and loosed acidic spittle at the fighter. Shannon was able to dodge much of it and cut the small beast with his sword. He watched as the creature faded into the swamp. Apparently, it had enough, and retreated from the scene. <img src="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0309_melee_chaos_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0309_melee_chaos.jpg" target="_blank">Mid-battle.</a>The last three humanoids were proving tough to dispatch. Bridget finally smashed another two and Scapa joined the fray. The humanoids decided they had seen enough and tried to retreat. They were quickly cut down.<img src="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0310_scapa_jumps_in_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0310_scapa_jumps_in.jpg" target="_blank">Scapa joins.</a>The group loaded up their fallen fighter and struggled the last few miles to Lannington. Pandilandra saw the group coming and rushed out from the village walls to administer healing to Johann. Johann seemed to be buoyed by the grass he laid on and the earth itself held him in a tender embrace.Bridget watched Pandilandra work at first, but then she noticed Shannon had tears rolling down his face.Bridget said to him softly, “He will Shannon. Have no fear.”Shannon replied, “I know. I can feel the Earth Mother, she is calling to me. All praise to Rhylya.”The group was invited into the village at Pandilandra’s insistence and began to rest from their ordeal. Shannon spent much of his time with the priestess Pandilandra walking through the village and the nearby pastures. A few short days later Johann had recovered completely.“We cannot leave that thing to live,” Scapa said.“Oh yes. That is exactly what we are going to do Sorcerer. Leave that thing to live,” Johann replied.“But surely it will continue to plague these fine people,” Shannon offered.“What are you? Soft in your heads? Our work is done here, we must move on,” Johann retorted. “We got its treasure. We wounded it. We got away. Now, who do you think would be more motivated in the next confrontation? The fat, dumb, and lucky folks or the pissed off lizard?!”“Your opinion is clear Johann,” Scapa replied. “What do you think Bridget?”To be continued…</blockquote>
