Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[Rookseye]

Sepoto:

Sepoto clambers along the branch until he has a clear view of the melee below. Somewhere in the middle of his stride he fades from view entirely, blurring and blending with the foliage of the tree around him. He takes careful aim at one of the angry mo'kede, and looses an arrow toward its head.

[sblock] Pebele, Sepoto will use his ghost step ability in order to gain the sudden strike damage, and then fire at either the most wounded dire ape or the one remaining, whatever the case may be. [/sblock]

 

[Pebele]

Sepoto seems to fade from view, and a single arrow finds its place in the hide of the Northern-most Dire Ape. The Ape screeches in pain, and tries to find where the attack came from.

Darrick and Steadfast move in to position next to the Southern-most Ape. Darrick swings his sword mightily, but the Ape dances just out of reach. Steadfast rears up on his hind legs, and his front hooves each connect with the Ape's chest. With two solid *thunks*, the Ape crumples to the ground, lifeless.

Catherine swung her halberd at the remaining Ape, she didn't connect fully and dealt it only a glancing blow to its right arm.

The Ape reared up and tried to latch on to Catherine. Its attempts were clumsy, however, and one swipe went wide, while it's jaws closed on air. The other claw connected with her right shoulder, leaving behind more gashes.

Kaelan charged forward towards the ape then, and it turned to him and lashed out, connecting with Kaelan's leg. Kaelan didn't slow down, however, and dealt a crushing blow to the Ape. It fell before his flaming scimitar, and the jungle was oddly silent again.

Damage breakdown: Catherine took 11, Kaelan took 7

(Great job, everyone! Feel free to roleplay out the aftermath, and I'll get Day 3 underway tomorrow.)

Just as quickly as Sepoto disappears, he returns to view again. Witnessing the second dire ape fall, he shoulders his bow and bounds out of the low branch into the tangled brush at the side of the trail, rushing toward his companions, kukri drawn to finish the job if either one of the creatures stirs. When he arrives among the others, he relaxes noticeably, a feral cast to his otherwise happy and innocent appearance gone so quickly it is seemingly a trick of the eye. Lifting one of the great apes arms, he lets it drop back to earth with a melodramatic 'thud'.

"Mo'kede, and very angry ones at that, friends. Is anyone hurt?"

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet makes a noise remarkably similar to a sigh, and the flaming ball evaporates.

"As I have heard the figure of speech, I am unimpaired except only for my dignity."

He nods at the others, each in turn.

"Well fought, all of you."

 

[Rolzup]

"Well done!" Darrick thumps Steadfast proudly as he dismounts, but the concern is obvious in his expression as he surveys his companions. "Are you three all right? Those damned things were quicker than I would have thought."

Pulling a rag from a belt pouch, he begins cleaning the blood from his sword and attempting not to look worried. With mixed results.

"We should likely move as quickly as we are able," he says suddenly, looking sourly at the apes. "The smell of blood may well attract more company."

Kaelan

"Yes, well done," Kaelan says as his wipes his bloody blade on the hide of the great ape. Kaelan shrugs off his backpack and pulls out a slender wand. He touches it to himself once and it burns a moment with silver fire and the wound is his thigh begins to close, the bleeding completely stopping. "It was a gift from Argent, he got it from a Silver Flame priest. Is anybody besides Catherine and Charles hurt?"

While waiting for a reply, Kaelan pulls some some vials out from his backpack. A liquid swirls within them. He pulls a similar capsule off each end of his scimitar, and replaces them with the new ones.

OOC: Cure light wounds on people that need it. -2 alchemical capsules/removed/replaced. Cure light wounds on me, cure 7hp

Catherine dusts herself off, picking bits of fur out of her wounds, before moving to attend to the wounded. "This shouldn't take too long. Let me just come around and check you all out."

Catherine moves over to Kaelan, but she saw that he was already healing himself with the wand. "Maybe we should save the wand for later, there could be harder battles ahead. I can heal the rest of us."

Moving from Kaelan to Charles, Catherine notices the wound on his left thigh. "Ok, not too bad here either. Excellent" Again, wrapping the wound in a bandage, Catherine places her hands over it and chants, "Goddess, grant me this minor boon, to heal this soul's body." She repeats the chant twice more before nodding and moving to check the others.

Seeing that everyone else is fine, Catherine begins binding her own wounds. Starting with the first gash on her shoulder, she places her hand over the bandage, before chanting "Goddess grant your humble servant the power to mend her wounds, that she might continue to serve you with grace and honor." Catherine repeats the process on her other wound.

Satisfied that everyone is back up to top fighting shape, Catherine looks over the party and smiles. "I just want to congratulate everyone, on a job well done. This was a very good reminder of why we were all chosen for this mission. Now shall we get underway, or make camp here for the day?"

[sblock=ooc for Yeoman and Pebele]If you wanted to save your spells, I have a wand. I already cured myself, so you'd don't need to heal me. What time of day is it?[/sblock]

I have edited my post. It looks like we all posted pretty much at the same time, sorry for the confusion!

Kaelan

Kaelan nods at Catherine's request and tucks the wand back into his backpack.
