Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 1557042" data-attributes="member: 4441">*Eleth, you back up slowly, following the group of escaping slaves.  You wait for several hours at one of the narrow passages, but eventually the sounds of pursuit start to fade.  You're glad in a way, while you didn't get to kill any more dragons, the less that think of going this way, the better.  Durlp nearly scares the life out of you when he pops up in front of you.**The mangy, stinking wererat gnome may be digusting, but he's also one of the best guides.  If the others had been doing their job right, even you wouldn't be able to follow their tracks, so Durlp has come to get you.  He leads you in an exhaustive, roundabout trip to the campsite of Zass'sk, Grathax, and Sekyen, then disappears into the shadows again.  It's uncanny, almost as good as you.**The beholder is, almost humorously, using the telekinesis power of one of his eye rays to stir a pot of something above a tiny contained fire in a box.  It's not giving off much in the way of smell, so you're guessing it's hot tea or something similar.  Seyken holds out a packet of rothe jerky, the kind she was passing out to the slaves.**Zass'sk, you have been aiding Sekyen hide the tracks of the slaves for hours on end.  Why the slaves have been eager to help, they've had little practice in stealth, and their help is limited.  You were just barely able to sit down a little bit ago, and Sekyen pulled out her fire-in-a-box for Grathax to make tea with.*"So... I'm not usually one to say this, but I'm very glad I ran into both of you.  That was some impressive courage Zass'sk, I think most would have run than face a dragon head-on.  I'll be sure to mention that to the council, they'll consider it when you ask to stay... if you want to stay.  Eleth's testimony could make a difference too, probably more than mine," she comments.~~~"Look, you're hurt Grim, Guran's hurt, Zykovian's hurt, and Antiphia can't go too fast.  Let's just try to slip back home before anything else happens," Ellimon suggests.~~~*Gortag gives a roar and gives two mightly slashes with his axe.  These two open up the ones he had started earlier and the half-dragon goes down, choaking on blood.*"Curse- you!" he gasps out as he falls.*From one side, Kilvash, one of the Godeaters slashes one of the dragonkin, as Alyshia runs up and delicately dabs in between the chinks of the other dragonkin's armor, opening up a gushing wound.  With a roar of pain, Renea-the-lion charges from the end of the hall and pounces on the one that Kilvash was attacking.  She visciously rips at him with fangs and claws, pinning him to the ground.  The other dragonkin seems determined not to go down alone, and slashes twice hard into Gortag, crunching through his armor.*[Gortag hits twice, and misses his last attack (32, 26, and 24) for 36 points of damage, dropping the guy.  Kilvash hits once with a 21, and misses once with a 14, dealing 9 points of damage to dragonkin #1 .  Alyshia hits a 21 for 12 points of damage to dragonkin #2.  Renea hits with one claw, her bite, one rake, and establishes a grapple for 24 points of damage to dragonkin #1.  Dragonkin #2 hits Gortag twice with a 25 and a 20, for a total of 31 points of damage.]</blockquote>
