Tarumen, Land of Earth and Sky

[sukael]

Erland M. Grauhim - Human

"What?!" shouts Erland, nearly falling from the tree he's perched on.

*He hurries to scramble down it, hawk circling him anxiously, and launches into a full, somewhat disheveled run towards the town walls--the appearance it gives him is rather at odds with his earlier laid-back manner.*

*He stood up torn between the wish to look and the fear to disturb the magic*

Cerithea runs after Erland, cursing in elvish all the way.

Gothog spurs himself at his furred and fanged foe, lance readied and willing. He is amazed at how fast the creature moves, as it nearly evades his lance. Ironjaw cannot get a mouthful of the creature, and even Gothog feels than his lance did not strike deeply. Still, he rides beyond and interposes himself between the bridge and the Beast. The group in town comes dashing from the Able Apple and to the gatehouse. As they get there, they see a half-orc riding a giant lizard. He carries a lance, its tip dark with blood. In front of him is a large, furred creature with huge claws, roaring with rage.

Gothog Turnskull, Male Half-Orc

That beast is tougher than it looks, perhaps I'll try my axe...

*Focused completely on the beast Gothog drops his lance and takes up his battleaxe, while moving Ironjaw to the beast less recklessly this time. Upon reaching the beast he strike it with a mighty overhand blow, still trying to keep himself and Ironjaw between the beast and the bridge.*

OOC - +12 melee (1d8+8; 20/x3; slashing; +1 battleaxe), AC 21 (Gothog); +9 melee (2d6+10; 20/x2; piercing; bite), AC 18 (Ironjaw); +8 Ride (to negate a hit on Ironjaw if the beast attacks)

Cerithea unsheathes her long sword and in elvish, hisses "Pyre". The longsword is wreathed in flame and as she reaches the beast, she begins to strike it.

[sblock]I know, I'm describing more than one round here. [/sblock]

Erland M. Grauhim - Human

*His sword ready, Erland dashes toward the creature, casting calm animals at the creature once he is close enough to it.* (OOC: 35 ft)

"Should my spell halt it, hold your attack!" he shouts, though he has some amount of doubt that Gothog will listen.

Will save DC 14, for dire animals and those trained for war only.

Kirendor furrows his brow as the crystal begins to glow, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He gazes into the ball for several minutes, then gasps as the crystal goes dark. "Cirlioniel, Teresen has been cursed I believe, and he's here, right outside the walls of the town, trapped in the form of a hideous beast!" Kirendor says, his face ashen. Outside, Cirlioniel can hear shouts and growling...

~~~~~

Gothog rides Ironjaw hard towards the beast, but his axe swing very wide of the mark. Ironjaw is thrown off by Gothog's wild move, and nearly misses his bite. However, he manages to rip a chunk of flesh away from the creature's side, sending crimson droplets into the morning air. Cerithea's sword is wreathed in flames at her command, and she does dashe over the bridge to help the brave half-orc.

The beast turns and lunges at Gothog, ripping into his arm and staining his tunic with blood. Zan pelts hard on the heels of Cerithea, moving to attack the beast once he finds an opening. Erland makes a soothing motion with his hand, attempting to use the magic of the earth to calm the bloodlust of the animal. However, his spell finds no purchase in the creature's mind, and it continues to roar and howl unabated.

OOC:
Initiative
Gothog and Ironjaw - 21
Cirlioniel - 18 (just for completness' sake)
Cerithea - 17
Beast - 12
Zan Kai'jin - 10
Erland and Arroweye - 3

Gothog gets a natural 1 on his attack, and Ironjaw hites with a 16 and does 19 points of damage. Cerithea activates her sword's flaming ability and moves across the bridge. Beast hits Gothog with a 29 and does 10 points of damage. Zan moves across the bridge and gets into position. Erland's spell has no effect.

Gothog Turnskull, Male Half-Orc

"Aaargh, you shall die terribly for that beast," Gothog screams as the beast rips into his leg.

*Gothog disgusted with himself for missing such an easy blow, strikes an angry blow at the beast with his axe.*

Cirlioniel ned Uirlianelen

"Oh, No"
*Then the shouts gets recogniced and he run out the house*
"Cyorel.. up and lead the way"
*and begin then to race to after Cyorel, ruthless if really necessary as long he didn`t anybody serious harm.*
