With a surprised gasp that quickly turns to a quiet rage, Midnight Fang moves as fast as she can to try and wriggle out of the creature's grasp.

OOC: Going for the escape artist approach here.
 

Wekerak waits until the others come into sight, but as soon as he is sure that aid is on the way, he leaps from Frostbite's back and the pair charge into the barn. Wekerak leads, breaking left, while Frostbite follows, breaking right and unleashing a blast of cold at the creature within the stable.
 

Bargo has lost the capacity for speech as the Red has nearly consumed his vision, a series of growls are released in a roar as he thunders along behind Durgo towards the marshy island.
 

Kurg's steps are much more cautious as he moves onto the path, his unholy flail glowing darkly as he channels the power of the Demon Gnoll-God into it, commanding the undead tree to release the demon elf from its grip.
 

Initiatives...

Wekerak 26
Valrack 25
Kurg 21
Durgo 13
Midnight Fang 9
Bargo 2

Wekerak and Frostbite rush into the stables, through the burning open doors and come face to face with a Huge Red Dragon, which is chained to the far wall.
The Dragon has manacles on all of it's legs, massive Iron things veined with silver.

Frostbite blasts the Dragon with his Breath <13 HP Cold>. The Dragon barely seems to notice this.

Wekerak stands a mere 20 feet from the Dragon...well within range of it's bite, as it does have some movement ability...

Valrack casts a Fireball at the Undead treant holding Midnight Fang <22 HP>. The treant screams, a shrill sound that reverberates throughout the area, causing all of the birds in the area to fly off suddenly.

Kurg summons the Power of Yeenoghu, ordering the Undead Treant to release Sellenais. The Treant screams again, this time in derisive rae. <Rolled a '1' on the Turn attempt, sorry >.

Durgo double-times it across the Yard, ending within the Stable, where he sees ther Chained Dragon.

The Dragon reacts oddly to this Sniffing at the ogre, the Dragon says


'You serve Zuregath, I can smell him on you...Free Me, Scion of Zuregath, for he is my Kin.'

Midnight Fang easily drops from the Treant's grasp, falling a bit, then catching herself on one of it's lower branches, flipping to the ground.

Bargo roars as he charges behind Durgo, barreling into his father's back, as Durgo stands before the massive Dragon.

The Treant so recently hit with the fireball Tramples Midnight Fang, though she deftly avoids his clumsy attempt to squash her <Evasion>.

The other treant leans down, it's head nearly touching the ground, and it's Willow tendrils snake out, hitting Valrack < 8HP, no Drain>, Hex < 8HP slashing,who is unaffected by the Drain, of course>, Kurg <crit,16 HP, no Drain> and missing Midnight Fang.
 

Uriel_fire_of_Heaven said:
'You ...... ........, I ... smell ....on you...Free ... ..... of Zuregath, ... he ..... ....'

Bargo catches almost none of this and looks very much like he intends to split the dragons massive neck right down the middle.
 

To a far lesser degree than his mutant son, Durgo also possesses a well-kindled fire that ignites when he enters battle. The dragon's words give him pause and his mind spins as the bloodlust wars against his dull sense of logic.

HA! Stupid dragons always lying! Durgo kill lots of dragons! But... would make good ally. Maybe could fly us North! No... yes... ARG!

He stops.

"How Durgo know you tell truth?"

OOC: lol, Sense Motive? ;) This is where having 9 INT can bite you in the @$$. :/
 


Wekerak's no fool. The dragon may or may not be a friend, but the treants are definiet enemies. As soon as he is confident that the dragon has its attention (hostile or otherwise) on the ogres, he moves out of the stable. looking for a position where he can safely use missile weapons against the tree-monsters.

"Bah. Plants. Not even fit to eat."
