Dorian Safehaven

As the room breaks into a chaotic motion of claws spears and weapons, Dorian readies himself to strike, drawing his kurki he is about to tumble through to flank one of the ogres when suddenly a small halfling tumbles in under his feet causing him to step to the side, barely avoiding both the newcomer as well as Creeks spine bristled form then another man appears on the ceiling before diving down behind the beats fighting Creek, and impaling the two creatures with what appear to be silver coloured spears. This must be the "Gus" the halfling was just speaking about. Kurki in hand Dorian looks around the now crowed room not sure of what to make of the newcomers or the unfolding events. His tails poised ready to strike as his dark honed eyes continue to survey the scene.

Alessia winces as the Were-Rat-Ogre's claw finds purchase, blood rising up from her shoulder. She takes a careful step back from the beast just in time for a silvered harpoon to come crashing through the back of the beast from the cieling-warrior. Knowing an opening when she sees one, Alessia takes another stab at the wailing creature with her soul-spear.

In the beasts' frenzy, it bites down into Alessia's already bloodied shoulder, picking her up as it furiously claws the wooden gate behind her. Tossing her from side to side, shredding the flesh and bone beneath, it spits her out against the gate, landing heavily on the ground below.

Gus takes the full bite from Rat Ogre 1 as he is shocked to see Rat Ogre 2 moving away.
"TARGETS 1 AND 2 ARE LOOSE! I FORGOT THE CHAINS!" he cries through gritted teeth. Full defence.

The halfling slides past Rat Ogre 2 and stops astride the body of Alessia.
He speaks into the device in his hand once more, "Sending one. Triage! Triage!"

His other hand produces a disk which he lays on Alessia's forehead. When he presses the activation stud, her body shimmers and vanishes.

The warforged looks directly at Hyde, "Exemplary work. You appear to have this one handled. Still, please allow me to keep hold of this restraint." It stands still, moving only to better brace itself against the recovery of the beast.

Moira is not really grasping what is going on, and Alessia is clearly out of sight for her, focused on her own opponents, and also the arrival of the others. She jumps to confuse the monster by rushing to its other side, draws a light axe on the way and then tries to thrust it into the enemy. It is simply not enough space to safely throw.

Hydes glare takes effect just as a shiny harpoon slices through the creature, attached to the spear, hyde sees a giant metal humanoid descend into the area. Whats more, the moving metal starts speaking to him with a sense of formality and nobility, not the common speak you would see on the streets, but the way our mentors would talk to one another. Alsohow does he know my name he says to himself quietly as he look at it in wonder, slightly tilting his neck and eyebrow.

Uncertain but noting that the creature seems weakened by the weapon buried inside it, Tyra gives out another roaring bellow and slashes hard with both claws, trying to rip the thing apart now if she can actually hurt it.

The final Rat Ogre stumbles onto it's hands and knees, it's innards becoming outards. It collapses to the ground in it's item spreading pool of fragrant juices.

"Prepare to demo the gatehouse, Gus! This contributes to your grade!" the halfling calls out before ducking back under the door to look in on the third rat ogre.

Gus responds with a curt, "Yes, Sir!" and begins quickly examining the ceiling of the room. He motions to everyone inside and says, "You might want to get out of here quick, I'm going to bring down the ceiling and everything above it. This place needs to be sealed off."

----------------

"Ingot" calls the halfling, "Status report!"

The warforged replies, "Single target. Executed with extreme prejudice. Harpoon proved fully effective."

The halfling jogs up to it, "Good, now please evacuate these... individuals before Gus demos the building."

He walks out the shattered gate 1.

Crik-Sa Kor

Turning to face this "Gus" Crik gives his tentaclaws hands a quick pas through the sea of undulating fibres that rim his mouth, cleaning the blood and gore from his extremities and gaining a bit of nutrients at the same time.

"Where is our sister, Gus?" he asks glaring at the man with his glowing amber eyes, while three clawed hands and a tentacle point at his chest and one arm jabs over his shoulder behind him where Alessia was, the other tencle pointing into the other room, "that little one -- your brother? What did he do to my sister?" Crik takes a step towards the man. "Where is she?" he asks his antenna moving furiously as his spines click in and out of his carapace in his agitation.

Zephyrinque Sanayd Zephyr watches the creature's head tear off with surprise, both at the spectacle and at her own actions. Landing on the ground beside Medina, she quickly turns behind her as the Halfling tumbles back under the gate towards them. As he shouts off to Ingot, ignoring them and passing them completely, she looks and nods at the others before following him towards and past Ingot. "I don't care if they break this thing, but I don't want to be here when they do.." Eying up the Warforged as she passes it, she tails the bossy little man, trying to emulate a bossy little woman herself as she walks up beside him. "What were those things? I've never heard of anything like those creatures... Not that we needed you help or anything back there!" Zephyr sniffs at the man. "Though you certainly took your time jumping in!"

Halfling sense motive (1d20+2)[11]

The halfling stops walking at an all-to-conveniently located rock and climbs up on it before turning to look Zephyr in the eye. "YOUNG LADY. How can you CLAIM to be prepared to take CARE of yourselves if you are SO stupid that you choose to come HERE for your inane little parties?! DID you BOTHER to THINK about the HISTORY of this RUIN?" By this time he's hopping up and down in fury. "THIS is why your KIND has the stereotype THAT YOU enjoy! Mud-brained PARTY ANIMALS to dumb to come IN FROM THE rain!"

He leaps off the rock, taps a fob dangling from a bracelet and watches as the camouflage cover is withdrawn into a small...hobbyhorse? It's kinda like a metal horse, but not. The legs splay out, all four of them, with a plate sized disc facing the ground.

"If your NOT planning to continue WITH your idiocy, go find their vehicles. The ones the bandits USED to get here."

[LairdMaon]

The warforged moves to usher everyone out as it retrieves it's harpoon.
"It is a pleasure you make your acquaintance, Hyde. Yes, I am called Ingot. And I believe friend is too familiar a term to describe my relationship with Mr. Blank. Coworker would be a more accurate descriptor."

Nothing he does shows any sign of deceit.

[Mnemnosyne]

Tyralisa gives another little screech, this time happier and sounding triumphant when the group takes down the ratogre in front of her. A moment later, the halfling comes marching out from behind the gate, and Tyra glances from one side to the other, alarmed somewhat at these strangers. She doesn't let down her defensive posture, although, since they don't seem to be attacking, she doesn't act hostile yet, either. Knowing several others of the group are still behind the mostly-closed door, Tyra rushes back to it, crouching down awkwardly so she's not completely unready for an attack, and ducking her head under the door so she can see what's going on behind there.

Hearing part of what Crik said, and then the response by the unfamiliar voice as she ducked down to the short height the door was open to, Tyralisa calls out under it, "What? What happened, who's gone? At their camp?" She sounds a little confused, and perhaps a bit panicky; did these strangers take someone away somehow?

[Hellfire014]

Medina makes sure she has all her stuff before exiting the ruins, grumbling all the way. Thats twice now she's been useless in combat.

Moira walks up to the one who appears to be in charge. "You took Alessia away, so point us to her. Now. We need to check if she's okay. We're her family."

[Ripptor]

Zephyrinque Sanayd Zephyr puffs up in indignation, her thorny shoulders arching back as she draws herself up even straighter. For a brief moment, she remembers shearing that creatures' head off, and imagines doing it to this small trumpet of angry racism... "If you fear rain little man, then you should know better than to provoke my friends and I to rain down on you like we did the Lycanthropes back there!" Pointing with a clawed finger, she continues, "Those were our bandits we were chasing, so I may be happy to help, but I require you tell me all that you know of our shared mark first."

Mr. Blank looks up at Moira from his seat. He points northwest.
With an exasperated sign he says, "My people have her. They are tending to her wounds about a day and a half that way by foot. That's the same direction we'll be going as soon as we seal this place off. Follow my instructions and get to her faster or we can step away and leave her to her own faculties while you take your time. It's up to you."

Not going to bother rolling against that Intimidate check, his chance of success is miserable.

"As for the bandits, they were hired by a rival business to take what they could from us. Namely Gus. We believe they saw this as a convenient stopover for some extra spoils. They were as much fools as you, going in there like that."

[Centaurion]

Moira

It did not feel like they had too much a choice in the whole issue. The first rush of the combat fading away, a hellish pain befell her as she finally realized the deep claw wound that was going through half her chest, and the small puddle of blood she was standing in. Shocked from its intensity, she produced one of the healing potions she had found and downs it to stop the bleeding.

She then approaches her friends in the small groups that they were currently standing there. "I think we need to follow them. They have Alessia, and they are helping her at the moment. We need to stick together now. That's all that counts! We're family."

Swinging back to the small humanoid, she continues in a far gentler tone, "So, how many of them are left now? Are you chasing them further? And what's a Gus?"

As soon as Gus, my student, finishes imploding that gatehouse we are going back to our camp where our people are tending to the girl. I can't say how many bandits are left nor IF any are left.
