Dark Underrising in Lovric

Arlen

Arlen winces as the bugbears all gang up on Arelyn, but then laughs as her get skin turns the blows like plate steel.

“Let’s see what we can do about this pesky beast,” he says, turning his attention the the flier.


Gauging distance, Arlen beseeches the gods of fire to remind the creature’s chain of a time it was molten steel.

Arlen chants a spell and the man-bird looks down at its chest, seemingly discomfortable. Elias does a series of rapid punches to the bubear in front of him, who falls to the earth with a grunt. Lyanna get past the shaman and casts a spell on the bound victim. Aticoll manages to cleave his weapon deep into the bugbear facing him, severing its left arm. He then shouts a challenge and seemingly most of the bugbears and the birdman seem to be affected. The birdman attempts to fly off, but is quickly cut down by a fast reacting Arelyn. One of the bugbear archer seem to be focus on the flying human still as he looses another arrow. One makes his run around the ruin to get into better position to fire upon Aticoll while the third archer does fire an arrow at the armored dwarf. One shaman runs up and get about half way up the stairs to the altar. The shaman who cast Burning hands now steps back and creates a cloud of think misty fog. The third looks up to Arelyn and stands there, seemingly waiting on her action to respond.

Arelyn

Arelyn grimaced as another hole tore through her clothing, thankful for the blessings which kept her flesh from suffering the same fate. She didn’t like the look of the shaman watching her but she liked the fact that another one had gotten so close to the elf even less. She drifted down until she was hovering just over the prisoner and swung her energy blade at his ugly face.

"Oh shee" Alistair mutters to himself, his words trailing off as he finds himself doing something stupid. He could have just carried on his way, this wasn't his business, these guys seemed to have it under control, wasn't his problem.
Yet for some unknown reason he found himself running towards the trouble. His second step sent an ache radiating through his bad knee but he carried on. He had decided that he had to do something to help. Dressed as a noble and not a warrior like the rest, he stood out as he fled across the battle field to swing his walking cane at the unoccupied enemy nearest the sacrifice.

Alistair would do what he could to help.

[ngilop]

The skirmish begins to turn heavily in the favor of the group as the bugbears are not only injured, but no longer have the numbers they did. Most are still focused on Aticoll and his taunt, but the one archer still tries to hit Arelyn. The remaining shaman stays hidden inside the cloud.

Arelyn

Arelyn flinched as another arrow zipped past her hand, then a guy with a freakin' cane charged up took out the shaman beneath her. Must be friendly.

Holding her eldritch blade in one hand, she used her other to first make a rude gesture to the archer who shot at her, then unleashed a bolt of energy at him.

With the newcomer and and Lyanna both watching over the elf, she flew north to help Aticoll.

Ferling sure that the others had things under control, Alistair instead turns his attention to freeing the maiden. However he couldn't do so without turning on his charm. It also helped to calm himself.
As he cuts at her bonds with a knife, he tries to reassure her while asking of her name, where she was from and how she got here.

Aticoll got hit by an arrow. And this one was really well shot. Even a dwarf has to bend over after this hit. But an eyelash later he was all focused on the bugbears he was fighting in melee. With a big swing he strikes the first and in motion the one behind him.

Elias and Aticoll drop their respective targets and that seems to break the morale of the rest of the bugbears as they all turn an run regardless of the danger it puts them in. That leads to additional casualties for the bugbears as they unguarded retreat, if you will, left them open to easy attacks.

Alistair unbinds the woman, who seems to be in priestly garments of some sort, but you are unable to tell exactly due to the tears, blood, and other on the robe. She manages to say her name is Sasha before passing out.

You all surround the cloud knowing the last shaman is inside waiting for it to either exit the cloud or dismiss it.

“[Undercommon]Surrender!” Arelyn called from abover the cloud of smoke, energy blade held at the ready.

Elias gently rises up in the air, ready to descend upon any who leave the cloud.

Elias uses Step of Wind.

[Fliggl]

Come back coward, we're not done yet! Aticoll shouts. He was upset, that they were fleeing but his code didn't allow to hit an opponent that let his defense go.

Instead he walked to the cloud where he thought the shaman was in, readjusted the grip on his axe, took a deep breath and stepped inside.

[ngilop]

The cloud dissipates and the last shaman is kneeling near Aticoll, hands up in a surrender. It looks to the group and snarls, upset, afraid, and worried all at the same time.

[redzimmer]

Arlen

“Is everyone alright?” the mystic asks. He brandishes a wand of lesser vigor, ready to give aid.

He gives his attention to the red used elf woman.

“Are you injured badly, madam? Are there others of you needing help?”

[ngilop]

Arlen comes walks up the altar and finds Lyanna already caring for the woman, who is unconscious. Lyanna replies to his questions of her health that it is the shock of the experience and not her wounds, she just needs some rest and she will recover.

[Fliggl]

We have a surrender here! Anybody with manacles or a rope? he shouted, holding his axe high to stop the shaman from doing something stupid.

I have still an arrow in my arm if that counts as injured. It bites a bit, but nothing too serious.

[redzimmer]

Arlen

With a nod, Arlen waves the wand over Aticoll's wound.

Always so stoic these dwarves. "Oh, my arm's torn off, but I'll just walk it off," he thinks with some bemusement.

arelyn has no idea about any army, she’s basically shooting in the dark and hoping to score a hit.

The Bugbear shaman looks to Arelyn his snarl turning to a bit of surprise when she mentions the army and growls saying something in goblin, though you do not speak the language you understand swearing when you hear it. [Undercommon] "We hurt for da blooding. That Erythnul may bless the war on your kind!"

[Thundercracker]

Arelyn

Arelyn brought the blade up close.

“[undercommon]Last chance, where is your army??” Arelyn asked.

If he doesn’t answer, Arelyn will ask the others to tie him up.
