Flight of Dragons

[Pink]

Tabatha slowly feels the loss of control over her limbs seep through her body but that's okay. Afterall, there's such a pretty flower just a little bit ahead of her. With such a wonderful smell. The best part is those pesky limbs you can't seem to control seem to be willing to take you in that direction, so that you can be closer to the pretty, nice smelling flower.

[boxboy582]

Hemil reaches across his shoulder, flicking the halberd strapped across his back out of it's holder and into his hand with suprising agility. He shouts across his shoulder as he begins running toward their assailant.

Oh shi-- not an adventure. WE'RE UNDER ATACK. TO ARMS. TO ARMS!!

Hemil runs as quickly as he can, to the priests. He grabs them by the shoulders and turns them toward the cart.

Run. Back to the cart. We'll take care of this. If we can't, you know what to do.

With a nod to the priest that says more than the words he just spoke, Hemil shoves the priest in the direction of the cart.

No. Why would I have your things. I'm not your carrier. They're in the cart, where they belong. If you're no use without them, what use are you? He shouts back to Teiss.

He then squares on these beings that are attacking them and digs his heels into the ground. There would be not retreat.

Hemil's eyes fix on the beings with a glare that would make the bravest warrior faulter in his step. A sneer creeps on to his face and he grips his halberd tightly, awaiting for the thing's next move.

Hemil draws his weapon after sending the shocked priest scurrying off the hill. Both of them now hoof it up there as the rest of the hired party (and it's captive) descend with their weapons drawn.

Slowly, a life seems to animate the people...if they were people. The kobold, with a lurching hop and a cry gargled by drool, moves towards the raptorian and swings twice with it's axe, however Ciel is much more agile than the little lizard and easily avoids both attacks. However in this time the woman has lifted her sword, grasping it with both hands, and charges at him. During the charge her bandana completely flies off, exposing what appears to be one of the flowers from the forest growing out of her skull and nestled nicely in her red hair.

Her sword slices across his shoulder, drawing blood. (8 points of damage)

The other Raptorian spreads his wings wide and begins flapping them strongly, beginning to rise to the air, holding his ranseur in an almost barbaric looking two-handed grasp as he positions himself.

Seeing the pawns of the creature beginning to work, Ciel performs a gymnastic tumble past his attackers to stab into the puppet master with his spear. Though giving a deep wound it's hard to tell if the creature seems pained by it, and more alarming, the wound starts to repair itself.

At that moment the captive girl, the one who appears half-dragon arrives on the scene and demands her magic components from Hemil, but alas he seems not to have them.

Caught within the stupor of the creature's pollen, tabathat begins a quick, giddy walk right into the bush itself, a smile on her face all the while. Just as she enters, small vines with sharp ends wrap around her head and Ciel can see them sinking into her skull. (Tabatha takes 1 point of intelligence damage)

Flight of foot, Xander is the first to arrive with his bow ready in hand, not even out of breath.

The plant however, has recovered slightly from the attack and the leaves almost seem to be bristling in Ciel's directions as 6 vines lash out from the bush at him, three of them scoring solid hits against his body. (38 points of damage if you will.)

[tonberryking]

Teiss

Amidst the turmoil and hell of combat, Teiss, of all things, casually walks quickly towards the fracas, getting closer to the flower plant but still more than a good stone's throw away from the giant evil flora. However the entire time a look of pure rage, boiling even, begins to cross her horned features, light wisps of acidic gas escape her lips.

Moving up to U7

This entire trip, this entire journey is nothing but frustration, unnecessary emotional baggage and a smug sense of self righteousness that only holymen can provide. But let them see what finished off those neophytes, let them watch what is most feared of her, only let them see it cast on something that's actually a danger to others.

And besides, no matter what the frustration, regardless of the recipient, there is nothing more satisfying than having an immobile target ripe for blasting.

A hoarse cry heralds the breath attack, a snap of arcane energy going off. As she opens her mouth (almost to the point of unhinging her jaw) a line of acid blasts forth, tendrils of the corrosive energy wrapping around a main torrent that just gets bigger and more powerful until it cuts through the space occupied by the main flower, and keeps going as if the plant simply wasn't there...

Irisian continues to sprint towards his friends, seeing that the battle is not going nearly as well as it should be. His eyes scan the choatic scene, quickly picking out details and calculating who is at the highest risk. He is in his element in battle, and begins to channel the shadowy energy that flows through the veins of every Illumian warrior. His umbral blade gives off a dark aura as Irisian lets out a bestial yell that does not seem to match his somewhat quiet demeanor during the trip. He decides to dispatch the weaker foes, so that the rest of the group may focus on the evil plant.

I will take care of the kobold and the woman. Someone save Tabatha for gods' sake!

Ciel HP 45/91, AC 21

None left, this thing had lost every last bit of its allure. Ciel tries desperately to dodge the vines, but the three painful lashes are quick to tell him he wasn't fast enough. He turns from Tabatha, to the needled vine, to the red haired woman and to the flower on her head before finally going back to Tabatha. He had to do something, but another such barrage from the plant and its guardians would be more then he could take. His last attack had proved less then adequate , but now wasn't the time for "if onlys".

He looks all over the plant's surface, trying to find a weak spot or the source of those sharp vines around the angel's head. Once he catches something, anything, he drives spear blindly into it, forgetting all finesse and just trying to make as deep a wound as possible.

After the lunge, his wings carry him away as he jumps back. He didn't want to leave Tabatha there, but he would be of no use dead. Once out of the woods, he takes to the sky as soon as his talon's touch the ground.

He'll use Emerld Razor and Power attack for everything for the standard action.

He should be able to reach 20ft above K14 from any of those starting points with the 60ft fly speed. He'll stop there.

Doing his best to stay as far away from the plant as possible, Hemil reaches to Tabatha and tries to grab her and pull her away from the plant.

Making a mad dash towards the mind-controlled celestial, Hemil fails to spot a vine stretching from the centre of the flower mass, stretching out to attack him while he's still twenty feet away. For a moment it looks as though it'll bounce harmlessly off his armor, but a sudden twist delivers a strike to the top of his head instead. (Hemil:10 damage)

The red-head turns around, and gives two more slashes against the Raptoran, both hits scoring a hit, though there doesn't seem to be much skill behind the blows (Ciel:12 damage)

Meanwhile, the kobold examines the new threat of this man in heavy red armor and scuttles over to give an slash with it's battleaxe, hitting a weaker spot in Hemil's leg armor and delivering a small cut (Hemil:2 damage)

The Raptoran meanwhile, has spotted those coming onto the battlefield and swoops down, heading towards the scaled one, ranseur aimed straight and true. In a dive attack it strikes deeply into Teiss with the weapon before landing on the ground. (Teiss:16 damage)

Ciel's all out attack strikes true, and seems to cause great damage at first, the spear's thrusts even severing a flower from it's vine. However, the vine seems to simple move to the flower and it reattaches, damage seeming to heal even though the vines sag afterwards, as though sapped of some strength. In any event, with another graceful display he jumps out and away from the zone of combat before taking to the air.

As Teiss moves away from her attacker, he twirls his weapon around again before stabbing it into her again. (Teiss: 9 damage)

Unphased from the wound, she continues forward before unleashing a stream of acid into the heart of the Monstrous plant. An inhuman and barely audible screech is heard from the plant, however definitely heard is a monstrous shriek sounding half like a bird, half like a beast, as well as the deep bellow made by some humanoid tongue.

The plant seems to shudder, and the damage from the acid seems to not be recovering, unlike the wounds caused by Ciel's spear which continue to repair. And looking through a the hole caused by the acid shot seems to be a very large and very angry looking owl's head.

Meanwhile, the controlled Tabatha tries to command Hemil from helping her, however the mighty warrior priest is unaffected by the attempt.

Last of all to arrive on scene is Isrian, slowed down by his heavy armor but finally arriving.

Quick to act, Xander has dashed forward and loosed an arrow into the plant that crackles with electricity as it strike true. However it seems that even electricity does not phase the creature much.

Quivering and dripping sap from the vines severed by the acid attack, the plant lashes out full force against Hemil. Six vines attack the Crusader, all but one scoring a hit and battering against him violently. (Hemil: 57 damage)

Meanwhile, the vines dig deeper into Tabatha's brain. (Tabatha: 2 Int damage)

Ciel HP 33/91, AC 21

Trying to ignore those gashes left by the woman, Ciel descends to adjust his aim as he draws s strong looking bow from his quiver. He drops his spear and gets a hold of the bow with his talons as his wings work on keeping him steady. Teiss' blast had finally made the thing react and even though he had no way of matching up to it, he had something similar.

He picks out an arrow with red fletching. It had a peculiar design with a larger, more elaborate head then a normal arrow. He tries to steady his shot, aiming at the plant, away from Tabatha and Hemil. He readies it and pulls back with both hands as he hold the bow with his feet. As he releases, the arrow seems to whistle through the air, leaving a brief red trail as the head ignites.

Cursing the raptorian mentally, Teiss tries to ignore the bleeding, and the urge screaming to fight back against her aggressor. Not just because she probably can't fight him, but because there's still an immobile target for her to fry. The others, predictably useless in her mind's eye, Teiss burns yet another of her most powerful spells and lets out a cannoning line of acid at the damn flower yet again.

Hemil's feet dig into the ground as he throws his weight against the combined strength of Tabatha and the plant. He favors his right side, putting most of his weight (and Tabatha's) on his left side. He was pretty sure that plant had broken a couple ribs, and each breath he took was a shallow rasp.

Hemil ducks away from Tabatha's wild swing and hisses into her ear,Damn it woman! Know when someone is trying to help you.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Hemil draggs Tabatha back as far as he can (P8 for a half speed move action).

If the woman continues to resist Hemil will try to pin her (if thats possible. I'll have to double check the oh so confusing grapple rule), but if she no longer has the urge to walk into the plant's reach, he'll release her.

Irisian stops his mad run mid-stride, and turns to face the winged warrior who landed near him. "This one's mine!" he yells in the deep, booming voice he saves for combat. He focuses every inch of his body, drawing the shadow energy he was born with, channeling it through his muscular arm into his umbral blade. The blade flashes bright for a moment, and when the light fades, the black metal has a fine hue and a sharper blade. He brings his shield around in front of him and swings his sword in a high arc, bringing it down towards the raptoran as fast as he could. He makes two swings in quick succession, hoping that each will find its mark.

Hemil reaches forward, into the acid burned mass of vines and flowers and pulls Tabatha forcefully out before rolling on the ground with her to a distance of five feet away, the vines that had dug into her skull snapping off.

Seeing someone trying to take away the plant's meal, the Red-haired woman steps forward and delivers two slashes against him (Hemil: 12 damage)

The kobold meanwhile, has seen the arrow fly from Xander's bow and decided to deal with the threat to the Mother plant. Charging forward, dripping drool on the grass, it swipes at him with his axe, however a slight trip causes it's swing to go too short.

The Raptoran meanwhile, unphased by the movement of it's previous target, merely takes a step and delivers three quick jabs towards The newly arrived target of Isrian. However, only the second of the three strikes strikes past the metal of his armor and pierces flesh. (Isrian: 9 damage)

The Beastly shriek that sounds at the same time like a beast and fowl bursts forth again from deep within the plant as a giant form pushes out of the vines and flowers which seem to separate for it. Coming out into the sunlight is a form like a bear, covered in brown fur and feathers with the head of an owl, The left side of it's body suffering from acid burns and large flower with some small vines extended from the top of it's head. Charging forward, it's aim is clear as it closes in on Teiss, raising a claw and striking a blow with it that threatens to bring her to the ground. (Teiss: 7 damage, make an opposed grapple.)

Lastly, Emerging from the bush with an acid burned face is a huge humanoid with rocky looking skin, wielding a two-handed axe and running towards Ciel. With a huge leap, the Goliath gives a swing of the axe towards the air-borne opponent, however it swings through air, merely a foot short.

((Ciel, you're not threatened by the Goliath, however it is in your spot, so I'll give you a moment to decide what to do.))

Stepping back from the pitiable kobold warrior, Xander switches his bow for a longsword, ready to take the lizard on in melee. (You never said which square you're moving to so I'm just guessing here.)

The creeper seems starting to, very slightly, sag and wilt, however there's still alot of it left that remains completely undamaged. Though the vines quiver and seem ready to strike, instead, a flower aims at the grappling pair and shoots another musky smelling burst of pollen, this time covering the crusader.

Hemil can feel the compulsion of the sweet smelling pollen entering his system, trying to tempt him into coming closer, even after all of his wounds received from it. However, pulling together all of his strength he takes control of his body and fights off the compulsion. Then he moves Tabatha to act as a human shield despite her struggles, and shouts out a call for the healers.

Unfortunately, it seems that the human shield is only enough to deflect one of the woman's next two slashes, The other is deflected by tabatha's armor. (Hemil: 9 damage)

The kobold, completely undeterred by Xander's drawing of a weapon, hops forward and delivers a slash with it's battleaxe before hitting the air with it's follow-up. (Xander: 7 damage)

Shaking slightly from the strong blows from the Illumian, The Raptoran steps back and delivers another three strikes, however the first two are deflected by his shield, the third glances off his breastplate.

The owlbear, further enraged by the second blast of acid, Steps forward and delivers two slashes with it's razor sharp claws before trying to snap at her with it's beak. However her scales seem harder to penetrate than the flesh it's used to and all fail to wound her.

Meanwhile, the Goliath tries again to jump up and reach the flying foe with his axe, however he doesn't even come close this time, probably due to not having the running start of it's previous attempt.

“That was close, just a bit more and you might get a scratch on me…” ignoring the goliath and turning to more important matters, Ciel focuses on the plant. A cold chill runs down his back when he sees Hemil also get hit by the pollen, but it looked like he’d fought it off. Everyone seemed to have their hand’s full, but that bush seemed to be the root of it all.

As his wings work tirelessly to keep him steady, he draws an arrow with red fletching and a large elaborate head. He holds the bow with his talons and pulls back the arrow with both hands. When released, the arrow seems to whistle through the air as its head ignites in flames. No sooner had he released the first arrow when a second one made its way into the bow, following its predecessor. One last arrow follows the duo and Ciel watches as the three fiery missiles fly through the air, hoping to hit his target.

The arrows shoot from Ciel's bow and burst into flames midair. However one of them seems to burn a bit too much, burning to ash before it reaches it's target, while the fletching of another catches a spark and sends it into the grass. However one shoots unerringly into the plant, scorching it though vines quickly pat out the flame. Just like the acid, the scorched vines do not seem to heal.

Meanwhile, Teiss gives another blast of her acidic breath towards the Owlbear and Yellow and purple flowers. The Owlbear gives a cry of pain as more fur and more skin is burned away. In fact, on it's left side it looks merely bloody meat as nearly all the skin has been eaten off. The plant itself can't seem to move fast enough away from this last blast and gives another mouthless scream.

Tabatha continues to struggle against Hemil, yet he still continues to keep her away from the carnivorous plant.

Isrian seems content slicing and dicing the Raptoran. So content, that he doesn't even seem to care that his first attack is a huge miss. His second attack however, nicely drives through the Raptoran's arm before pulling out. However, unlike the others, this thrall of the plant seems to not show pain, even as it pales further from blood loss.

There's a cry from the East. Two of the priests, running down the hill and each holding a mace in their hands come running towards the fight. Each seems to be surrounded by some slightly glowing sphere.

Gasping for air, Hemil continues to try and drag the woman to safety. He prays in desperation to St. Cuthbert that this woman be struck dead by some unforseen force. Hemil tries to presses his arm to his side in an attempt to stem the steady flow of blood. He tries to push the pain out of his mind and only focus on getting this woman to safety.

Still using her as cover (sorry Crystall_Myr) and moving over to Q8.

He continues to shout to the clerics, urging them to run as fast as their legs can possibly carry them.

Irisian's smile fades as his first swing flies wide. He realizes that he must not allow himself to get carried away, and makes sure his second swing does not miss. He is frustrated by the apparent lack of pain felt by the zombie, but keeps swinging away with grim determination.

Glad to have seen at least one arrow hit, Ciel draws and fires another volley. The bow wasn’t his forte, but a throb of pain from the lashes reminds him why he’d put away the spear. That had just been the plant and the woman; he’d hate to see what the burly mountain folk would do to him if he got too close.

He’ll hover in place and shoot another Rapid Shot of dragonbreath arrows at the plant.
