Scions of the New World:Scene One-Gertle's Gulch...

[Uriel]

Tzzarcct fires again, hitting the Scion <4HP>, his arrow sticking out from the man's arm, thogh he still stands.

Mantis recovers his wits <Last round of Stun dealt with>

Derry fires an arrow, though it flys wide of the man...


New Round

Brahnz is Stunned

The Scion, seing himself being quickly surrounded,strikes at Lupe <hit for 7 HP>, in an attempt to break free of the melee, drawing a bite from the Wolf <hit for 2 HP and knocked down>.

Wallam fires another rock at the remaining Orc, missing the brute.

Lupe presses his attack, though he misses the Scion, who struggles upon the ground with him.

Semm is up...

 

[Velenne]

Seeing its prey on the ground and weakened, the Animal consumes whatever objections are left of the Man, I can't! He is helpless and deserves a chance!

Semm pounces on the Scion's prone form, claws and teeth slashing and tearing as only a mindless beast can.

 

[Sparky]

Zadkiel's world compresses into the vision of blood before him. A growl rises in his throat as Semm lunges for the enemy Scion. Air hisses over bared teeth as he draws a deep breath. Wind stirs around his feet swirling dust into spinning twists which spiral away as he raises his right hand, eyes aglow. ...Hear me Semm, hear me... He advances on the impending carnage, "Semm you have to STOP." The Command slashes out across the basin like a whipcrack, the power of it rippling the air and slamming into Semm. The force of voicing the Gift drops Zadkiel to his knees, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

OOC: Whistler casts Command on Semm. Didn't think I'd be using it that way.

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Too bad Semm acts before Whistler...

Stepping a fw feet closer, Semm reaches out, hungrily,blood spattered claws grasping the form of the Scion before him. The man struggles, to no avail as Semm's claws tear into him <hit,10HP>. In a moment the struggling is done, the form now a limp and shattered wreck in the arms of the Animal. The sword falls from listless fingers, a dull *thud* resounding across the space between the two buildings.

Whistler's words fall short, as he sees the slavering Beast tear the Scion from the ground, savage claws rending him...
There is one pitiful Orc left, oblivios to what has just transpired, preparing once more to smash at Brahnz with his forge hammer...

OoC:What's WHistler goingto do? He is about 10 feet from the Orc, who stands over the stunned form of Brahnz. Mantis is shaking the effects of the Color Spray <he acts next round>.

 

[Sparky]

The Animal's carnage can not be abated. Dammit. The marshall slows his advance, turning his gaze and his powers instead upon the last remaining Orc. "STOP." He Commands. The word flies from Zadkiel, almost tangible as it impacts their unwary Foe.Dammit, should have been faster. Maybe we can learn what we need from this one. Must keep an eye on that Scion. Nobody could survive Semm like that... but it can't hurt to be cautious.

OOC: Command instead on the Orc.

 

[Velenne]

Semm's mournful wail tears across the landscape, lasting several seconds until the winded Man is out of breath. He pushes the Animal back, shrinking until he is normal sized (for Semm) and somehow less monstrous.

His keenly aware eyes regard the corpse below him. "You chose the path of selfishness with your Gift. Your darkness will taint no longer."

Semm wipes the blood from his jaw and claws on the Scion's clothing. Standing, he looks off into the distance and tries to come to grips with his actions. The Animal was useful, yes, but it must also be controlled. His fight would continue...

 

[Uriel]

OOC: Command instead on the Orc.

The Orc ceases it's assault, halting in mid blow, it's arms straining...

Turning and trying to run back into the building, the Orc is hit by Lupe <who misses> and almost gets away before a massive clawed hand snakes out, snapping it's neck <14HP, dead Orc>.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

ooc: Can lupe` get the orc?

 

[Velenne]

OOC: Semm the Animal will certainly opt for the AofO.

 

[Uriel]

OOC: Semm the Animal will certainly opt for the AofO.
