The two join hands and stepdance merrily around Rhole, before coming to their senses.The gnome finally picks himself up, after having spent essentially the entire fight lying on his back. With a fluid change of tune the Great Ultra-Intense Thundering Audio Ripper makes an obvious parody of the harpy’s song, though Rhole misses a critical note at a critical moment.Fed up with Rhole’s inefficiency, Rock jumps out of its master’s hair to take matters into its own tiny hands.Ikni, her light-sensitive eyes blinded by the dragon's eruption, smiles a little, remembering dozens of hours of blindfolded training with her master, many miles beneath the surface.  Bizarrely, the darkness calms her, and she breathes deeply for a moment, and, holding her master's face clearly in her minds eye, whirls her sword through a whistling arc directly toward the eladrin's throat, the arterial spray lands all over Rhole as the enemy falls to the ground. As the eladrin falls a dreamy smile spreads across Haruka's face.  "That's another one for us, for anyone keeping track.  Maybe this wasn't so great a plan," she calmly states in the voice of the stern woman.  Her hand clenches into a fist and then opens, revealing another crimson ember, which she lazily whips at the harpy.  Like the first, this one goes wide.  Haruka yelps as her fingers singe, the look of euphoria replaced with that of concentration. Derien cannot see, but that's fine.  He can still hear the rushing of the river, the gasping of the panther, the horror-woman's worried keening.  He can still feel the dragon's hot breath in his face, the eddies of air as it beats its wings.  He can still taste...his own blood, mostly.  But it's something.Eyes are redundant anyway.Derien moves, quick and careful.  Away from the dragon, away from the panther, toward the laughing river.  If I can contain the dragon, and sustain everyone for just a little while... Ironheart roars in pain as his bark begins to catch fire.  He throws himself to the earth and rolls over and over, beating at the flames with his upper branches and shrieking.  When he comes to his feet again, the sly glow in his eyes has vanished to be replaced by  burning red of terror and agony.Ironheart bellows a wordless roar and sways back and forth, lashing its burnt branches about as if tossed by a storm.  A few ivy-like tendrils whip across the dragon's snout and bury themselves in the cracks between its scales.  But Ironheart pays no attention to the great creature.  Ripping itself free, it turns its back on the dragon and charges back across the battlefield towards its tormentor, leaping over the river once again, bellowing incoherantly and brandishing its bloody axe. The head of the weapon completes the earlier assault, removing the female's head from her body, her hands still clutching the bow tightly.[sblock=OA]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2366743/" target="_blank">vs ac; dmg (1d20 10=17,  2d6 4=9)</a> miss[/sblock]The harpy begins singing another beautiful melody that reaches into your heart's and draws you towards the sounds, Ikni and Derien can't see the singer, but it grabs hold nonetheless. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOykCYDMKBs" target="_blank">YouTube - Lord of The Rings - May it be</a>The dragon moves closer after the harpy has completed her task and unleashes another blast of radiant energy, leaving you all unable to see.
