Thanor's foolish charge had dropped the dwarf into a pit and allowed the foe to surround the elf, a precarious position for any archer. The stinger wound was painful, but not deadly, at least not yet. Focusing upon the task at hand, Aeranduil again brings his bow into play. While most archer's were vulnerable in a spot like this, the elf's extensive training gave him an advantage: though he preferred distance, he could use his bow in melee as well as most warriors used their blades.Spinning the hardwood shaft of Taurionamarth to ward off any potential attacks from his foe, Aeranduil concentrates on the wounded scorpion and fires two arrows into it carapace, causing it to slump to the ground, then spins and fires a final  arrow at the scorrow, catching it in the shoulder.  [5' step to (10,13), as the scorpion's corpse makes it difficult terrain)]"Got you! Thanor, which one you want t' kill and where do ye want t' kill 'im?" Morika says in greeting, repressing a groan as she lifts both dwarf and several dozen pounds of heavy metal armor skyward. Coming up out of the pit, she struggles for altitude then carries the wet dwarf into melee. [Morika's fly speed with Thanor is 40', with flying upwards costing double, so one move action to reach top of pit, 10' move of second move to gain 5' clearance of the ground to fly, then 30' to move Thanor to (9,13)]Yoggrith hears the cry of Sanne when she gets injured, and he glances back at her to see how badly she is wounded.  What he sees is a woman who does bear the mark of injury, but is not so badly hurt that he needs to make a desperate attempt to get to her side.Instead, he steps away from the scorrow in front of him and turns to face the same one that is attacking Sanne.   Figuring he has a few seconds to perhaps step around the scorpion-humanoid to reach her, he uses the moment to swing at the scorrow twice with his spike-laded quarterstaff, catching the creature unaware on the first blow, tearing off a large swath of black skin from its back.  The glowing green eyes focus on the halfork quickly with a harsh stare as it adjusts its stance to accomodate the new foe."I will be to you momentarily, half-elf.  Try not to die before then."Sanne takes a quick lunge at the scorrow's attack, which the scorrow anticipated and avoids, then she finishes off the last scorpion facing her with a dire stab into the creatures head.  Satisfied the scorpion is no longer living, she turns and faces the scorrow to her side; she's sure that her vermin bane infusion will affect the scorpion, but the scorrow? Most likely not.  Her first stab at the scorrow is turned aside by one of its blades.Thank ye, lass. If ye can put me down atop the half-drow that's hurting our half-elf, I might be able to even things up a bit, eh? Thanor suggests to Morika, brandishing his axe in anticipation.  Trying to take advantage of the momentary confusion of the halfork's blow, the dwarf swings his axe in quick succession, but the wet handle of the axe proves difficult to control and both blows sail wide.Voadam points his wand to engulf the dead scorpion and scorrow facing Sanne in a mass of entangling webs while leaving the sky captain unhindered.  The scorrow appears to have evaded the majority fo the webs effect."Too close, too close," Ipshivi muttered quietly as their foes circled the group tightly. She weaved this way and that, trying to avoid the dangerous spots long enough to call upon her protective magics. [(10,13) is occupied by Aerenduil - your 5' movement options are somewhat lacking at this point, so you are in total defense]OOC:Condition Summary:Voadam: (27/43)Yoggrith: (68/74)  Aeranduil: (41/64)Sanne: (33/65)Morika: (42/66)Ipshivi: (46/46)Scorpion #1: DeadScorpion #2: DeadScorpion #3: DeadScorpion #4: DeadScorrow #1: Moderately WoundedScorrow #2: Red square is the pit.Gray area is web</blockquote>
