Possible fumble avoided.SummaryVirishal 17 damageDuroin 21 damageKirrg 12 damageJonathan 48 damage Sir Jonathan drops the hobgoblin in front of him, and cries in elation as his friend is able to retreat to the building behind them.  No sooner than that, the cry of elation turns to pain as the manticore impales him on three of its tail spikes.  Sir Jonathan knows what he must do.  He moves forward to the corner near the opening of the building, the endurance of stone building within him in every step forward.  He thrusts his blade at the manticore and then cries out, "We need to hurry and drop this thing before it kills us all!" Unfortunately his strength fails him and the blade is turned aside by the Manticore’s thick hide.A wave of relief rushes through Virashil's small form as she sees Duroin's axe head cleave through the skull of the foul brute. Normally, such gore would have sickened her, but the past day of combat has hardened her somewhat.The familiar sound of spikes rushing through the air precedes what sounds like a small dragon approaching by air -- the sight of the manticore gliding down to land in front of the doors where Kirrg just went is quite menacing.Seeing the large wounds present on each party member, it is clear that unless something miraculous happens, there may be a friendly casualty this day.Leaving her bow for a moment, Virashil moves to the side to get a clear shot at the manticore, clutches her amulet around her neck and begins a familiar incantation in draconic and then points towards the foul manticore.A red, coruscating ray shoots out of her finger and impales the hide of the beast, sapping the giant beast of its strength.Duroin shakes his head in disbelief as Sir Jonathon rushes the winged beast instead of seeking cover. Confounded knights! Still, Duroin can't abandon his companion to almost certain death. The dwarf darts forward, activating his boots to speed him on his way. He rushes in with his war axe leading the way...Again the beast’s hide protects it from harm.His brief respite over, Kirrg hears the pervasive whoosh of the manticore as it flies down to pin him in. Before it can move inside to attack with any more of the confounding thorns, he rushes to get into one of the half-enclosed room, protecting him for a few seconds more. Once there, he clutches his father's symbol, tighter than usual, and casts his much needed spell. As the healing power courses through his veins, Kirrg sighs in relief. "Manticore, we wish not to harm you, only your masters. We have not attacked you yet for this reason alone. We can pay you more than what your masters are to help us destroy them."The Manticore ignores Kirrg and tries to eviscerate the duo in front of him. However the monster’s strength has left him due to the sorceries of Virishal. None of his claws find their mark and he seems unsteady on his feet.<img src="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i31/herofhire/vraathkeep11-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Actions?</blockquote>
