[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 4236671, member: 4441"] The [COLOR=SandyBrown]dancing figures[/COLOR] leap and twirl, two of them scoring perfect, identical cuts on [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Oliver's[/COLOR] upper arms, the blood fanning out in the dust, before leaping away a short distance, still dancing. The third hurls himself inward, almost suicidally toward [COLOR=Red]Maavnod[/COLOR], passing [COLOR=YellowGreen]Arrgha'n[/COLOR] in the process and opening himself up to a slash from the kin-hunter. [COLOR=YellowGreen]Arrgha'n[/COLOR] slashes his sword and misses the creature by a large margin. The [COLOR=SandyBrown]dancing creature[/COLOR] lunges into [COLOR=Red]Maavnod[/COLOR], but misses him by a whisker. [COLOR=PaleTurquoise]Valerian's[/COLOR] hands are wreathed with deadly cold as he quickly brings to mind what he might know of such [COLOR=SandyBrown]strange beings[/COLOR]. [spoiler]These creatures are deadly dancers. Strange and alien creatures with no precise known origin, they feed by bathing their arm and leg blades in blood at least once a week.

In a moment the [COLOR=SandyBrown]dancer[/COLOR] has all four limbs pinoned by all four of [COLOR=Red]Maavnod's[/COLOR] hands. [COLOR=DarkOrange]Irthos[/COLOR] moves up slightly to stab into one of the [COLOR=SandyBrown]dancers[/COLOR] that [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Oliver[/COLOR] is fighting, but nearly stumbles on a protruding stone and just barely prevents himself from tripping to land in the dust. [COLOR=Silver]Yatrax's[/COLOR] hands darken with shadow as she moves up to try to lash out with her darkness at one of [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Oliver's[/COLOR] [COLOR=SandyBrown]foes[/COLOR], but the arrow of dusk goes wide and disapates into the air. [sblock=OOC]Deadly Dancers - 19 (higher Dex) Valerian - 19 Arrgha'n - 15 (higher Dex) Kurst - 15 Oliver - 14 (higher Dex) Maavnod - 14 Irthos - 10 Yatrax - 5 OOC: Two hit Oliver before jumping away, doing 7 points of damage apiece. Arrgha'n takes his AoO and would have missed with a 15, but if you'd used an action point, you would have hit a 21, doing 9 points of damage.
