As his comrades converged on the ghoul he had shot before, Khaenon moved right again to get a clearer shot at the new threat to the gladiators. Once around the wall he fired off another arrow with the intent of weakening the undead monster enough to make it easy prey for his melee skills.

Trevor and Zorak both continued their relentless assault on their enemies and smashed into the rather enduring ghoul, which remained standing.
Azz attacked the ghoul in front of him again, and it also was still able to stand. Khaenon straffed out from behind the rocks and embedded an arrow into the minotaurs thick chest. Pauph's attack flew wide of it's target. Aran's started to cast a spell. Gortok and his flail both missed their targets. The ghasts were both able to rake both Azzkikur and Zorak with their claws, digging into the orcs' flesh. They both felt a poison seeping into their bloodstream, however they both seemed to be able to shake it off. The minotaur ignored the spiritual flail and the arrow embedded into it's chest. It lowered it's head, the sharp horns point directly and Azzkikur. The hoofs stomped loudly as the minotaur charged the orc, the horns missing just every slightly. Code:

"Great caller, continue to send us your aid, storm the battlefield with your forces!" As Aran holds his symbol praying, a giant beetle the size of a small dwarf appears behind the minotaur. Aran quickly shouts at the beetle in a language only the two would readily know.

Still feeling sick to his stomach, Gortok chokes back vomit all the while pressing his attack against the filthy abomination before him. Looking over at Zorak, the War Priest's military training takes over.
__________________"Try to flank it!" He belts out in orcish just as he swings Damnation in a wide arc, landing a devastating blow. Gortok watches with satisfaction as acid from the flail's business end sizzles as it mixes with the ghast’s rotting flesh. Last edited by TPasq98; 11-16-2009 at 12:04 PM. |

Trevor nods in approval at the viscious beating administered to the ghast. He jumps nimbly over some rocks in the ground, and lands with deliberate care, his stomach turned slightly by the exertion. He begins to strafe the towering minotaur as he lands a solid blow on the minotaur's side.

Azz is amazed that the ghast before him is still standing. He has rarely encountered and enemy that wasn't felled by his first, let only second, blow. Still, his trident strikes out true again. And while it was a weak hit, he hoped that it was enough because that big horned zombie looked tougher still.

Zorak turned his back to the falling ghoul and rushed towards the minotaur, perhaps too quickly. His mind only on attack and not on evading the blow that the zombie might try to hit with on his way towards the beast.
The barbarian's axe bit deeply into the dead flesh of the zombie. The orc cackled and flesh flung to the ground as he ripped his axe out. Position: D8 |

Pauph takes a step to the side, trying to find a better angle, and looses an arrow at the horned beast attacking Azzkikur. I sure hope that this shot is better than my last few he prays.

Khaenon fired off another arrow intended for the minotaur zombie. The fighter saw that Azz stood alone against two enemies now, and Khaenon decided it was time to enter the fray. He slung his bow over his shoulder as he stepped over the rubble and placed his hand on the halberd strapped to his back.

Gortok was able to bring down the ghast. His spiritual weapon was able to scratch the minotaur slightly.
Trevor moved closer to the minotaur his spiked chain struck true. Azz brought down the other ghast. Khaenon embedded another arrow into the chest of the minotaur. Pauph also shot off an attack that hit the undead beast. Aran's begins to chant again and his beetle missed it's target. Zorak moved into range of the minotaur, but before his attack got off, the minotaurs axe swatted him out of the air. The gash in the barbarian's side was large enough to kill most normal men. Blood splattered onto the ground and Zorak's fellow gladiators. The mintoaur's axe came around and slashed deeply into Azzkikur as well, the follow through doing less damage then the first attack. Behind the monstrous beast, the second cage slowly started to creak open. Code:

Pauph watches in horror as one of the team's fighters goes down with a swipe from the undead. Well, isn't this just fine and dandy. Looks like I'll go see what I can do to help him out. He walks behind Khaenon and tries to jump past the rocky protrusion barring his way, but it seems that his short stature has gotten to him this time, as he can't even jump half way up. ZORAK! I'M COMING he shouts between verses of his poem. SEeing as he can't jump past the obstruction, he might as well take a shot at the last monster that he can see on the field.
__________________This shot hits as well, showering those around the creature with chards of bone. Pauph silently cheers himself on. I must finally be getting my groove! We listened and looked sideways up ! Fear at my heart, as at a cup, My life-blood seemed to sip ! The stars were dim, and thick the night, The steerman's face by his lamp gleamed white ; From the sails the dew did drip-- Till clomb above the eastern bar The hornéd Moon, with one bright star Within the nether tip. One after one, by the star-dogged Moon, Too quick for groan or sigh, Each turned his face with a ghastly pang, And cursed me with his eye. Last edited by Kiiz; 11-21-2009 at 05:34 PM. |

"Zorak, please hold on..." As a two-foot long beetle appears across from the giant bombardier beetle, Aran shouts in celestial as the two launch simultaneous attack.

Gortok lets loose a bellowing roar as the ghast crumbles to the ground. Looking forward, the War Priest immediately sets himself to approach the front lines, and he can hear the crackling sound of the dying ghast's flesh as it is dissolved by the acid. Wasting no more time, Gortok quickly moves forward to his fallen comrade.
__________________"You are powerful and ruthless indeed my monstrous cousin, Hextor would be proud to have you as his on, but I judge you worthy of healing." His prayer answered, Gortok reaches down and grasps Zorak, delivering the healing magic the fallen orc so desperately needs... Last edited by TPasq98; 11-22-2009 at 10:18 PM. |

As Zorak fell to the already fallen and risen minotaur Khaenon continued to pull his halberd free and move through the rubble. He swung his polearm in a wide arc catching the minotaur with what felt to him like a shallow cut, but had likely been more effective than both his arrows thus far. As soon as the monster was felled the executioner had a healing potion with his fellow gladiator’s name on it. Assuming it isn’t already taken care of by the time I finish up he thought.
