Bloodmatted fur was still sticking to Brother Tun's rarely-used mace, and the accidental trophy seemed to be attracting attention. The ratlings continued to scuttle around the angry red dwarf in order to resume their chewing, this time on his shapely thigh.

The morning exercise rituals of the Sunic orders emphasize form over function, but flexing is all form. "Hurrh!" The holy warrior flexed that thigh, and for a moment the rat panicked, it's teeth caught in sinew between feral hunger and unexpected arousal. When Tun had completed his pose, he relaxed the leg and the rat pulled away, eyes wide in confusion.

He took advantage of the opening to take a deep breath and some cover behind the hammer-swinging mound of plate and hairy flesh.

"Sorry, Rurik. You must be getting dizzy watching me run around you this way, but these things seem to have a taste for priest."

A survey of the battlefield told him which ally might best utilize a small boost of divine favor. A silent prayer, a moment's pause, eyebrow arched, cheeks sucked slightly... then he half spun, quite unexpectedly toward Rubas.

The dragonborn, for one perfect moment, lost his breath.

Rubas decides to let the Elephant handle the liar as he seemed so eager to do earlier. He moves away.

Then he called on every ounce of strength he had left for smite the Rat Rurik was attacking would not forget. He slices twice at the beast, the first time skimming it's chest and the second time causing a gash across it's eye.

He then turns to the pitiful creature next to him, bloodied and whimpering. He raises his axe to relieve the poor thing of consciousness and...

Halcyon decides to wait on Rubas.

Tun also decides to wait on the dragonborn.

Marcan sees his companions waiting for something, decides to start the attacks, and does it very well with a solid blast onto the fourth wererat to show himself. The blast seems cause almost fatale burns, but sadly, it stopped just short.(21 damage to H4)

Seeing that the rats were looking worse then his companions, gives a growl, having his adrenaline kick in and begins to swing his hammer with renewed vigor. This was not a good thing, though, because Rurik’s new found energy caused him to over shoot his target, but to Rurik’s credit, his many years of training taught him that sometimes a miss can lead to a more devastating blow. His hammer catches the rats perusing Brother Tun, one absorbing most of the blow, but the other also having a finger crushed as he tried to pull his companion away from the hammer.(17/3 to H3/H5)

Rubas shifts a step to the west.

Reacting to Rubas instantly, Tun calls upon his faith in his lady to renew his spirits, and transfers some of that faith into Rubas, letting the young dragonborn takes both of their anger out on a single wererat.

Rubas puts the divine intervention to good use, because as his weapon was drifting off course, the power of Sune kept the weapon in line, delivering a mighty blow that lops the wererats head right of. Marcan feels the life force leaving the body of the wererat and then spontaneously teleports out of the boxes. Rubas wasn’t satisfied with just one wererat, though. Twisting his head to glance over his shoulder, Rubas has his heart set on dropping the lying ratling, but when he notices that he is too far away, he decides to give Rurik another hand, and slices a line across the second wererats belly, almost disemboweling him.(changed target from H1(who was out of range) to H2(who is nearly dead, closer now.) to save Rubas from being OA’ed. Killed H4 and 7 to H2)

Halcyon springs into action, seeing the almost gutted wererat, and slides his sword under the arms which are holding his innards in, and slips the tip between two ribs and into the heart, ending the wererats life.(22 damage to H2) When the second wererat falls, Marcan again uses the released life energy to teleport away.

Rahmun continues to out musicale the wererat, and repositions him with the shield, causing much pain to course through the wererat(6 from Rahmun, and 6 from Marcan[why the curse inflict damage again?])

____________

importantAgain, the remaining wererats seem to heal some of their wounds.

____________
The wererats sense the tied turning on them, and looks to retreat, but notice the battered forum of Tun covering their exit, so the continue to fight on.

This does not do much for them though, because their heart is not into it. Two miss Rahmun(H1/6), one of them misses Rurik(H3) but once again, Tun is abused. To the pretty cleric’s horror, the ratlings sword heads straight for his face. The tip starts at the top right of Tun’s face and slides down long his nose, narrowly missing both eyes, and cress the tip of his nose. Hopping down from that peak, the sword tip misses Tun’s upper lip, but nearly tears the lower one of. Without even looking, the hansom cleric knows that even with his most powerful magic, this will most definitely leave a life long scar, marring his face.(10 damage, critical.)

Grinning, as his jab at Emtan goes without retort, Marcan shivers with pleasure as the faerie power flows through him, transforming him into speckles of silver light, and allowing him to vanish and shimmer through the combat, not once, but twice. From the cover of the wall, he peeks out, and then runs across the room to hide behind the stairs. As the remaining flakes of silvery light vanish, they are replaced instead with a misty blackness, smudging his appearance and aiding in his protection...just in case someone decided to attack him.

From his safe-spot, he called out "Oh, Rurik's gotcha, now you are going to regret that cheese you had for breakfast!" to the ratman nearest him, and sent another purple blast towards it. As it went astray, he winced and said "Sorry guys! I'll work on that a bit, ok?"

knate · #65 02-21-2009, 02:58 AM

A snarl. A flash. All was hot and red.

The bloodied cleric raised a hand to his face and tried to wipe away the fire, and waved his weapon blindly in the direction of the threat. He tried to back away but stumbled into a pile of boxes one way and a hulking scaly thing the other.

"Rubas! Could you... ow, dammit! Move, please!"

**Admin Sedracus** · #66 02-21-2009, 08:21 AM

"Get back, afore yer pretty face is carved up even more!" Rurik shouts at Tun as he smacks his hammer in the general direction of the enemies in front of him.

KithKunabi · #67 02-21-2009, 01:54 PM

Rahmun dodges a bit, the whole time forcing his conjoined enemy to dance like a gruesome puppet. At one moment he ducks, the motion forcing his opponent to stoop. Rahmun looks up at his foe and locks eyes, his face a somber wall of stone. In one fluid motion he drops his shield and draws his Scimitar, which swings up in a beautiful arc, lopping off his opponents head. His nemesis made a corpse, he slides his hand off the bolt, the wooden shaft covered in blood, and picks up his shield and rises to is full height. One foe dead, he turns his head to lock eyes with the other one next to him.... the Rat knows he's next.

(I was gonna do a shield push, but, I just killed him instead.)

Halcyon · #68 02-21-2009, 06:44 PM

Halcyon continues to gracefully slink behind enemy lines, coming up behind yet another target. He has uttered no word the entire battle; just moved from shadow to shadow to exact punishment on the wererat deceivers. But now, as he watches the battle evolve, he notices a problem.

"Rubas, block the door! Seal their avenue of escape! "

Allowing a rat to squirm its way to freedom would be unfortunate. On the other hand, if there were more of these rat fiends, they might track this one to the rest of the clan and elimante the entire threat.

Turning his attention to the task at hand, he stabs through an opening of the wererat's defenses and sinks his blade deep into the hairy little rodent-man.

FunkyFable · #69 02-22-2009, 02:51 AM

Rubas is reluctant to block the door hurt as bad as he is. Instead he decided to help out the Poor Cleric, so he laid his hand on his commrade and offered a prayer to Bahamut, a servant of Trom. Then turns toward the rat who started all this mess. You will die for calling your rats to attack us so. He raised his axe, but tripped over the boxes before finishing his blow and ended up accomplishing nothing but making a loud clanging noise on the rats breastplate... (probably?)

Master of Monsters · #70 02-22-2009, 05:13 AM

hvg3akaek · #71 02-22-2009, 05:52 AM

As Marcan raced back across to his former position near the stairs, he called down some nasty nail-rotting disease upon H5, and then shot off a blast at it. Unfortunately, the halfling was in too much of a rush, and got his hand caught in the railings. The blast created a hole, but in the wall, not the rat.

KithKunabi · #72 02-22-2009, 03:15 PM

Rahmun says nothing as he sets himself to the bloody task of destroying his foe. His hands free to do their work now, he raises his bloodstained scimitar and thrusts it into the rats belly. using his foreward momentum, he slams his foot down onto his enemies.... he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Halcyon · #73 02-22-2009, 10:01 PM

Halcyon grunts a bit as he manuevers past the last wererat on his side of the room. The wounds he's received have begun to add up and the strain of continuing the fight show in his youthful features. With work yet to be done he is not one to slouch however, and steps cautiously behind the wereat that just bit into his arm.

"Rurik, let's finish this scum!" the half-elf calls out as he jabs at the wicked little creature. Halcyon relishes the satisfactory feeling of his blade puncturing through the ratman's hide. He snarls in the creature's large ear,

"Retribution, scum! Tonight you go to your evermore."

FunkyFable · #74 02-23-2009, 02:14 AM

Rubas waits for Rahmuns move, then shifts into a flanking position only to botch the attack again. He swung his axe so hard too.

**Admin Sedracus** · #75 02-23-2009, 07:34 AM

Rurik growls as he quick-steps to the south, snarling that this wererat wasn't getting away as he powerfully snapped his hammer into the wererat's gut, hoping that its armour would not deflect the blow. "Stay there, Halcyon!"
