He feels the song pulling him to the edge of the river and manages to shake his head to throw off its effects. Haruka's eye grow wide with alarm as she notices the dragon.  It looks like she's attempting to fight against the current, but she quickly disappears under the water.  A moment later a black cloud rises from the ground near Derien.  The cloud quickly dissipates, revealing a soaking wet Haruka lying on the ground, shadowy tendrils rising from her body like steam.  She coughs up some water as she props herself up on one elbow and looks up at her companion."This just keeps getting better, doesn't it?" she growls.  She grins at the eladrin who challenged her.  "Well, for you it's getting worse," she teases as she flings more darts of crimson flame at him.  Then her attention turns to the other swordsman, "Don't worry," she whispers sweetly, "I haven't forgotten about you.  You'll get your turn."Rhole strums away relentlessly, once more enrapturing the same eladrin swordsman to submit to the beat. With comical repetition, the bard lures his prey over the bridge so as to plunge face-first back into the river.Rhole surveys the field and misses more than a few notes upon sighting the dragon.“Uh… Wow! … Well…”“Props to you, Sir Dragon, for coming to our aid! In this hour of need, there yet remain hip and noble beings of integrity in these lands. Help us make those vile eladrin culprits see an end to their sins of banditry!”The eladrin in the water stands up, but is swept away by the ravine. He looks around in anger, but then moves away from the others and towards the ramp at the edge of the water. The other swordsmen moves across the bridge and into Ironheart's thicket, charging at Derien, but his punch is nowhere near to overcoming the cleric's defenses. The eladrin says a few words of arcane power and the blade reappears in his hands. The dragon hesitates at the gnomes words, at least for now, his eyes narrow as he considers Rhole's statements. The archer continues to fire off enchanted bolts at Ikni, determined to take the genasi down, moving so she can get a clear shot of him. Both arrows strike true and the intense heat is even too much for Ikni's inborn resistance to flames.The woman continues to sing her tune and Ironheart is drawn closer to her again. Then she flies across the ravine, and lands next to Haruka, "Well you wanted me, you got me!" she says, her song changing briefly and a terrible discordent sound slams into Haruka, Rhole and Derien as well as the eladrin. Rhole is particularly affected by this sound, perhaps his close ties to music? Another creature appears from the brush to the east, the beast is a familiar one for some of you, its thick black fur glistens in the light as it charges out from the shadows. With a prodigious leap, it lands on Rhole, tearing a piece of the gnomes flesh out as it bites him. [sblock=ooc]Sword 10 fails athletics, stands up and total defense.Sword 20 moves across bridge and charges Derien - Misses with AC 12, still doesn't recharge power, but gets his sword back now. archer attacks Ikni - Hits twice for 15 (6 additional fire damage, 5 negated) so 10 damage and for 6 (3 fire damage all negated) so 3 after resist.
