Nathaniel:
Corsica: Marked by S12
Ying:
Hakka: HP 42/42 Weakened
Kuori: HP 9/38 DR 5 Bloodied
Gloom: HP 24/41
Soldiers: S15 Bloodied
Revenge: HP 15/47 Bloodied Marked by S7
Lieutenants: L1, Bloodied, Slowed L2 Grabbed


Even in her weakened state, Hakka manages to lay low another soldier. Her shuriken strikes S12 in the neck where he falls over and gurgles for a moment before becoming perfectly still, (S12 is slain!) Her shuriken also strikes L1 but the lieutenant seems a little too focused on the giant scorpion girll about rip him in half to pay the wound much attention.

Kuori moves away from the rougish lieutenant (O23) and fires another volley of arrows, careful to avoid Ying this time, but making sure that the lieutenant took a solid hit. Things were starting to shape up and Ying's healing had saved Kuori twice now. That said, they still had Nathaniel and his best standing. "Corsica, come help your sister. I'll pick off the Earth Mage."

13+10=23 vs L2 for 14 dmg (MAX DMG WOOT!)

Gloom saw the Lizardman stirring from the venom and knew what he had to do. He swung the flail at the Lieutenant and hoped that he had at least another few seconds to hit him again. "Hang in there Ying." Then a thought occurred to him, if they were adamant on attacking Ying ... maybe they could go back into the den ... the Earth mage had to go first.

Can you put the entrance to the den on the map? Gloom had been chilling there before the fight, so I assume it close.

(If Gloom is hit or missed by an Lt opponent or Nathaniel that is not bloodied, assume that he uses the relevant immediate action.)

Initiative order
Nathaniel:
Corsica:
Ying: Marked by S10
Hakka: HP 42/42 Weakened
Kuori: HP 28/38 DR 4
Gloom: HP 41/41
Soldiers: S15 Bloodied
Revenge: HP 24/47 Marked by S6
Lieutenants: L1 Bloodied, Slowed L2, -2 attack Grabbed, Bloodied


Kuori's rain of arrows strike both the Lieutenant and S15. S14 just barely manages to dodges the attack. Gloom's mace leaves a nasty gash on the lizardman, making him bleed profusely. (L2 is bloodied)

The soldiers all focus their attacks on Ying with several landing hits and wounding her with their blades. S8 even moves over from Kuori to swing at the centipede girl.

S6 and S7 are the exception and continue to focus their attacks on the fleeing paladin. S6 lands a crippling blow on Revenge's leg, slashing his thigh (crit 12 damage) but the paladin manages to parry S7's attack.

Quote:
"What now, paladin! What do your morals tell you now! Will you fight to survive, or does your god demand you lay down your life in non-action?"


MOVE ACTION

Revenge would shift back, while looking past the soldiers at Corsica as she poised her question.

Quote:
Revenge shifts 1 SE to Y22.


MINOR ACTION

He would lift his halberd skyward, gripped tightly in his hands, the steel glinting from the sun's rays.

Quote:
Infernal Wrath. +1 to attack, +4 damage to S6... that's the one that hit me in the leg? You said S6 both hit and was parried... sweatdrop


STANDARD ACTION

He would rotate the weapon ninety degrees so the sharpened axe no longer faced his target, but instead, the flat of the blade, and he would slam it down hard upon the crown of the soldier's head the ground next to the soldier with a loud thud.

Quote:
Enfeebling Clong vs S6, going for nonlethal damage. 18 vs AC. If Kuori's 18 vs AC misses, mine does too.


He would look back Corsica, hoping she took note of his effort to subdue, not kill. And as long as he was pressed, he would continue that course of action.

What the soldiers made of it, well, that's entirely up to them, as he regripped his weapon, ready for defense.

Initiative order
Nathaniel:
Corsica: Blinded
Ying: Marked by S10, Weakened
Hakka: HP 35/42 Weakened
Kuori: HP 28/38 DR 4
Gloom: HP 41/41
Soldiers: S15 Bloodied
Revenge: HP 24/47 Marked by S6
Lieutenants: L1 Bloodied, Slowed L2, -2 attack Grabbed, Bloodied L4. Weakend, ongoing 10 poison damage


After Revenge misses his attack, the lieutenants spring into action.

L1 frantically tries to wiggle out of Corsica's pincers, but is unable to escape her iron grasp. He then produces a dagger and stabs at her twice but cannot pierce her naturally armored limbs. He calls out to the captain, every one of his words a struggle. "Nathaniel... get her off... She's... killing me..."

L2 finally regains use of his body. He growls at Ying as he tries to lash out at her with his claws, but is too tightly bound by her body to make the attacks connect. He then struggles against her grasp and with his tremendous strength manages to break free.

L3 launches his twin-bolted attack, attacking Hakka once again and Ying as well. Both attacks hit their marks, causing the dark electricity to ripple over their bodies and sap their strength. (Hakka takes 7 lightning and necrotic damage and is weakened)

L4 sighs at being reminded of his true target. He shifts up to Ying to stab her with his rapier but not before taking a pot shot at Kuori with his hand crossbow. Unfortunately his bad luck returns and both of his attacks miss.

Nathaniel sighs himself. Still cloaked in shadowy energies, he disappears. A bolt of necrotic energy strikes Corsica, sending her reeling. She drops L1 as she is pushed back ten feet and collapses to the ground. Her eyes are clouded over.

Corsica quickly gets back to her feet, though. As before, her blindness does not seem to interfere with her awareness of her surroundings. She looks back at Kuori and nods. "I'm entrusting his end to you then." Corsica then faces towards those attacking her sister. Her deadly-looking scorpion tail uncurls high into the air. Up until now, she has neglected to use it. That was about to change. "I was hoping your captain would be the first to experience the pain of this stinger, but I guess you'll have to do." With lightning speed, Corsica's tail whips out from her and her ten-inch long stinger pierces deep into the back of L4. He screams in pain as the poison is pumped into him.

Ying winces as L4 screams, but her resolve stays resolute. She curls back around L2 again and begins to crush him. However, in her weakened state, her attack does not seem as effective as usual.

Hakka didn't understand just why she wasn't regaining her strength, but that shocky thing that hit her was still crackling over her. Without the gaping bolt wound in her chest, she could pay more attention to it.Once again, she hurled a volley of shuriken at L2 (23 vs AC, 8 Damage), L1 (21 vs AC, 4 Damage), and S15 (13 vs AC, 4 Damage), However, she just couldn't seem to send that last one far enough due to her sapped strength.

(Damage already halved for being weakened, and as always, those hit are slowed and those dropped to 10 HP or less are snuffed

Kuori fired off 2 shots at the Lieutenant, then moved between him and Corsica.
Move to M20
(If L1 is dead, next target is S15, L1, then S8 )

Gloom saw the tail strike next to him an as it withdrew he stepped into its place and gave the Lieutenant a well deserved whipping.

17 to attack vs L4 for Flesh Rend

Nathaniel:
Corsica: Blinded
Ying: Marked by S7, Weakened
Hakka: HP 35/42 Weakened
Kuori: HP 28/38 DR 4
Gloom: HP 41/41
Soldiers: S15 Bloodied
Revenge: HP 17/47 Marked by S6 Bloodied
Lieutenants: L1 Bloodied, Slowed L2, Grabbed, Bloodied, slowed L4. Weakend, ongoing 10 poison damage


Hakka beans both L1 and L2 with her shuriken, but S15 dodges the attack. Expecting an attack from the goliath after her proclamation, L1 manages to dodge her incoming arrows. L4 grits his teeth in pain but manages to just barely parry Gloom's attack. "Don't think I'm out of this yet."

All the soldiers around Ying continue to attack her, yet she agilely manages to dodge all their attacks. S6 shifts up to the paladin and wounds him with his sword. S7, seeing that the Revenge is about finished, moves off to help his comrades with the centipede girl. He charges Ying and stabs her deep between two of her armored plates.

17/47 hp, Bloodied, Marked

((Wounds me for 7 damage, I take it?))

STANDARD ACTION

Revenge does not shift back this time, but simply, holding his grip on his halberd's shaft further up the length, so there's slightly less of an arc with his weapon, as he attempts to smack the flat of it into the soldier's ribcage.

Quote:
Enfeebling Clong, 22 vs S6's AC, 12 damage, going for nonlethal damage.

Nathaniel:
Corsica: Immobilized
Ying: Marked by S7, Blinded
Hakka: HP 35/42
Kuori: HP 28/38 DR 4
Gloom: HP 37/41
Soldiers: S15 Bloodied
Revenge: HP 17/47 Marked by S6 Bloodied
Lieutenants: L1 Bloodied, Slowed L2, Grabbed, Bloodied, slowed L4. Bloodied


(Yes, it was 7 damage) Revenge lands a sound hit on S6, knocking the wind out of him a bit through his chainmail armor.

L1 summons sharp rocks from underneath Corsica's feet and binds her in place once more. "I'll keep her here. Stay out of her range and finish off her sister."

L2 manages to wiggle himself free from Ying and lashes at her with his claws but his natural weapons seem to struggle to pierce her tough exoskeleton.

L3 launches his twin bolts at both the sisters but does not manage to hit either of them.

L4 groans in pain as Corsica's deadly poison seeps through his body. (L4 is bloodied). He shifts one square and stabs Gloom with his rapier, but he seems to be in too much pain from the poison to strike with much force (4 damage). He then shifts one more square and fires his hand crossbow at Ying, though his shot misses. Finally, L4 seems to shake off the poison as the pain fades from his face.

Nathaniel's bolt of shadow energy strikes Ying, blinding her and knocking her prone. "Yes, focus on Lelena." He would also add in, tauntingly, "In fact, I'm not sure if we even need her alive. Our necromancers are quite... advanced."

Corsica tugs at the earth binding her feet but it does not budge. She is too far away to reach anyone. Her pincers clack angrily as she yells at Nathaniel. "Just leave her alone! I will tear you all to pieces! You hear me? To pieces!" Corsica raises her spear over her head and throws it with tremendous force. With great speed it flies across the battlefield before embedding itself deep in Nathaniel's chest. The captain seems to be completely caught off guard by this as he gasps for air. She might have punctured one of his lungs!

Ying stands up wraps herself around L2 and crushes him in her grasp once more.

Hakka feels her strength return finally, and she lets out a growl from deep in her throat when the commander of these soldiers urges them on to kill her friend. There's a sort of grim satisfaction in her expression, however, when she saw the man take the spear through the chest. That was certainly an impressive throw. "Now to do my part," she growled, readying another volley of blades and loosing them at L4 (19 vs. AC, 9 Damage), L2 (26 vs. AC, 17 Damage), and L1 (23 vs. AC, 9 Damage). She hoped in particular that it was enough to finish the second one off, as she wanted to save Ying the heartache of snuffing out a life. She then fell back a bit to give herself some room to maneuver (L12).

(as always, those hit are slowed and those reduced to 10HP or less die)

Revenge: HP 17/47 Bloodied

Hakka's shurikens hit all of the lieutenants. The one that hits the lizardman strikes him right in the back go the head. His eyes roll up in his head and he stops struggling in Ying's grasp. (L2 is dead!)

While one arrow goes wide, Kuori does manage to plant an arrow in L1's side. He is starting to look pretty worse for wear.

The soldiers all buckle down on Ying. Through coordination, they manage to get several hits on the centipede girl, wounding her greatly. Ying tears up a bit from the pain but continues to stay strong. Her long insectoid body is once again covered with bleeding cuts.

S6 swings at Revenge but the paladin dodges his attack.
