Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw [IC]

[Voadam]

Noni continues with the fire for a little bit in the pitch black.

The spider mandibles again clamp down onto Tur's leg injecting more venom into his cold blood.

Tur lashes out in response one clawed hand swinging at air, the other slashing into the spider's head and ripping off the top half, spraying ichor in a great swath. Tur turns to the goblin beside him and snaps at him though the lizardman's jaws only catch air.

Cursed takes aim and fires quickly but his aim is high and the bolt clangs off a stalactite.

The archer returns fire causing Cursed to duck back out of the way of the incoming arrow.

The goblin spiker swings at Tur, hitting solidly with loud smack as the club impacts ribs.

[Watus]

Tur tears at the goblin spiker he senses beside him.

OOC: RAGE: Full atk 2 claws +5 melee (1d4+4) and bite +3 melee (1d4+2); Str 18 (16, +4 RAGE, -2 Poison), Con 18; SV Will +4, Fort +6; AC 14.

Note that Tur has the Blind-Fight feat, so he does not lose his Dex bonus to AC, attackers do not recieve the usual +2 bonus to hit, and he may reroll any misses due to concealment.

 

[Fenris]

Noni continues on the fire, blowing upon the embers to bring it to full flame, hoping that it's light and heat will turn the tide by illuminating their remaining enemies.

 

[D20Dazza]

Cursed fumbles for another bolt, slams it home takes aim and fires at the spell caster.

 

[Voadam]

Noni's efforts are rewarded with a small smoldering but it will require tending to make sure it catches and grows into a fire enough to offer illumination beyond his immediate area (about the illumination of a candle currently).

Tur's totem instincts guide his rage towards the goblin smashing his ribs but the little warrior is able to deflect the lizardman's attacks off his wooden shield as the poison in his veins slows Tur's movements.

Cursed loads another bolt and fires at the archer but again it flies wide.

The archer returns fire gobbling darkly and an arrow thunks into the cart, its flint tip embedded in the wood between Noni and Cursed.

The spiker gobbles cackling madly and swings again connecting with another smashing blow that would normally drop the lizardman but adrenaline and bloodlust keeps the large warrior on his feet.

The spellcaster is down from Tur's previous attacks so Cursed turned his crossbow on the archer.

 

[Watus]

There are no words for "retreat" or "surrender" in Draconic, and these are not easy concepts for the dragonkin to understand. Tur is dimly aware the those of lesser races are sometimes willing to back down from a fight, but...

He tears at the spiker with a roar of pain and frustration.

OOC: RAGE: Full atk 2 claws +5 melee (1d4+4) and bite +3 melee (1d4+2); Str 18 (16, +4 RAGE, -2 Poison), Con 18; SV Will +4, Fort +6; AC 14.

[Voadam]

Noni continues with his fire making it more stable. As he feeds the small blaze he gets it to a stage where he can either stabilize it and safely leave it as is without it immediately going out, take a small brand with him (about candle light strength) or work on growing it.

Tur in a punch drunk rage swings and snaps wildly at the cackling goblin who ducks and dodges laughing madly, only to be caught and lifted off his feet as the lizardman's claws catch him in a vicious upswing that leaves the goblin's chest ripped open and him lying on the ground.

The spiker issues shocked gobbles from the ground, no longer cackling.

The archer curses darkly.

[D20Dazza]

Cursed rushes forward and grabs a hold of one of the vines dangling dwon the cliff face, gritting his teeth he starts to pull himself up "Those sleeping above won't stay that way for long" he says as he climbs.

 

[Voadam]

Cursed drops his crossbow as he rushes forward and begins to climb up the wall shouting to Noni a warning of the goblins he temporarily magicked.

The goblin gobbles darkly and drops his own bow. Tur hears the goblin spit out a curse but despite the poison slowing his movements he easily dodges the clumsy attack of the last standing goblin as his dragon senses guide him in this fight in the dark.

Tur also hears the goblin spiker he dropped gobble lowly as he pulls himself back across the stone floor of this cavern opening.

A short distance away Jeanpierre hears the cries of combat and various gobbling and roarings. Bound hand and foot with his mouth tightly gagged there is little he can do though.

It was only a short time ago that he was riding off on his lord's bidding, a newly anointed knight as well as an ordained champion of the noble faith. The sky filled with black birds that swarmed him in a great could, knocking him from his mount and tumbling him against rough stones that were impossibly beneath him instead of the grass of the field he had been riding upon. As the birds dispersed he was stunned and in complete darkness when small gobbling brutes leapt upon him and bore him to the ground. When he regained his senses and tried to fight it was already too late. He was pinned and then bound and gagged. His arms stripped from him he was brought into another chamber and could hear more of the verminous beasts though all was black. There was a gobbling and roaring angry interrogation that proved fruitless and soon his gag was returned. His holy symbol was taken and he was tossed back here with his feet bound as well.

 

[Ilium]

Jeanpierre closes his eyes and offers a heartfelt prayer to Campita that trouble for his captors means good news for him, and not simply an argument over who gets the best parts of his carcass. He again strains futilely against his bonds, praying that Campita will give him the strength to burst them.

[OOC: Using the Strength domain ability Feat of Strength. In fact this will have no effect since it only raises my Strength by 1, but it's worth a shot ]
