Stonefist Academy - The Beginning

"We ready ourselves," Ararion whispers back, taking a guarded stance with his slim rapier in front of him. He has some misgivings about being able to parry whatever caused those wounds to the young man and his dogs... "Everyone, on your guard."

[Fangor the Fierce]

Leilani and Ararion ready themselves for the sounds, as two figures emerge from the darkness. The red eyes are the first thing that Leilani spots, as her crossbow fires. The bolt weaves its way through the air, hoping to hit the large figure.

Ararion takes a defensive stance, hoping that it would be enough to deter these things that they now face. The rest of the group spins at the sound of growling, now meeting the foe they had tracked. The darker one matches the description of what Rollen said, with dark fur, red eyes and a large physique. The wounds are discernible, yet it does not look like they are stopping the beast from battle.

The figures snap the air, growling and barking to ward the group off. When the bolt is let loose, things change as it hits the rock cropping. Realizing that they were now attacked, the two beasts move swiftly move as one, blocking the cave entrance from the group. They snarl, showing their long jagged teeth. The bristling hair on their necks rises, as they survey the group. They prepare themselves, ready to fight but biding their time. They seem to be waiting, as if taking measure of the group.

OOC: Lune is up next!

Lune thought it was odd that a savage beast, one that attacked sheep, dogs, and Rollen, was not charging and assaulting them where they stood. He slowly walked forward, ending up inline with Silvas. Finally, he instead decides to wait and see, grabbing his shield from his back and reading it. "Would savage animals act like this? It looks like they are protecting something, rather than attacking us."

Silvas spins around to see the beasts seemingly guarding the cave entrance. He draws his bow and moves away from the party. "Savage or not they are dangerous. They have attacked before and they will attack again."

Olek

Olek smiled savagely as the creatures emerged. Finally an opportunity to test myself again!!

"It would seem that the beast and its mate have smoked themselves out!"

The dwarf bent down and picked up a handful of dirt, casting it in the air over his head while reciting "Moradin, father to all Dwarves, and Lord of the Earth, watch over your son today that he may protect others."

His pre-battle prayer completed, Olek stood tall - figuratively - readying his massive axe. They are trapped by the solidness of the mountains! I will prevail!

Leilani looks relieved as her shot flies wide. "Oh, dear... lets hope you are right, Lune... I don't want to KILL the beasts..."

Miranda

Miranda raises her crossbow and points it in the direction of the beast. She was nervous since she had no previous experience fighting beasts this large. Taking a deep breath, she pulls the trigger and lets the bolt fly towards the creature.

Daelyn moves in behind Silvas, and takes a shot with his crossbow

[sblock="ooc"]Daelyn moves to D10 and fires small xbow[/sblock]

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Lune and Olek prepare themselves, as they take stock of the surroundings. Lune's shield is brought up in a defensive stance, as he questions the intentions of the beasts. Olek's hands take the earth as a prayer escapes his lips. The soil is rich and vibrant with life, as he sees that there is a mountain between himself and the beasts.

Miranda's hand quivers too much, as her bolt flies wide just as Leilani's had done. Silvas moves up, his bow at the ready, but waits to let loose his own arrow. Silvas tries to determine what the creatures are, but has not run across such a beast before in his travels. It is not until Daelyn moves forward and his bolt flies true to the nearest beast that you hear the dreadful howl that these beasts can let loose. This looks to be the one that was already injured, as the blood crusted hair can be seen now. The cry of pain is replaced but a snarl and gnashing of teeth, as the beasts prepare to attack. They glance to each of you, as if sizing up just who to deal with first....
