Drezmir sees Gilded getting pummeled, and Robin's failed attempts to help him, as well as the fact that Vex is once again on the ground. He feels something move within him, that darkness, and the pain he'd felt after waking up the first time he'd fallen in the fight against the wolves. His scars light up, that smoke-like glow rising from his skin. He lunges towards the fencer closest to Gilded, raising his hand to deliver an unarmed strike. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he realizes that something is wrong, he feels stronger...
As Drezmir rushes forwards, his body once more stretches and expands taking on the form of a white three tailed kitsune. He gains a foot in height, and strikes at the fencer with an open hand, clawing him in the face with sharp black claws. There is greater force behind that blow then should have been possible, and he can feel the darkness enveloping him. No... what is this? He shakes it off, attempting to rid himself of it the feeling. Gritting his teeth, he turns his shoulder to the fencer and shoves into him, shouldering him in the chest in an attempt to knock the wind out of him. (Predatory strike=2 unarmed strikes)
He stumbles, feeling the blood running down his hand...the blood of his enemy. He looks down, recognizing the black paw...it was his wasn't it? He looks up at Gilded, this time his fear is overpowered by the need to protect his comrades. He would not see them fall. Besides...this is just an illusion isn't it? A trick orchestrated by the kitsune to make him doubt himself. Yet...what is this feeling of dread...this darkness...?
He clenches his fist, still holding his knife in his other hand, he fixes his brilliant green eyes on the next target, ready for another lunge.
Kocino can feel his energy getting low. Can’t use it all now, still have to deal with Simon. He pulls out his scimitar and uses the Blessing of the Raven Queen to teleport to Guard 5 and attack.
Attack: 16 Damage: 4
Kocino has resistance to all damage until his next turn.

Drezmir calls upon that inner power, a strange vision can be seen behind Drezmir for a moment. Smoke.. And a slight chuckle was heard in the air. Whatever it was it disappeared the smoke sliding up in physical form. Drezmir did his best to resist the smoke but it singed upon his arm leaving black scrawls and markings on his right arm. Drezmir nervously enough had lost control of that arm if but for a moment.. Something felt off. Following that however was an explosion of power and muscle in his next strikes. The strike with his marked arm left the fencer reeling covered in blood. As Drezmir striked yet again, though his spirit had wanted to spare some of these men. Something had latched onto his arm.. Taking control it grabbed at the guard's jaw.. Well anyone with decent common sense knew what was coming next. A red sea of crimson liquid filled the floor as the other guards shook a little looking at Drezmir. Corvus and Gilded had taken two more of them down too with ease. 3 of them were hurt and things were looking bleak.
Wisdom saves to keep fighting against this group for the fencers.

Jess and Vex now make a turn ^^
There are 5 guards left.
3 taking dodge action so if they are targeted it's with dodge action.
OOC Okay so 3 of them drop their weapons. The 1 with a nat 1 goes away screaming his head off (When it's his turn he'll attempt to flee) And the one with a 17 was going to fight however seeing his friends surrender he reluctantly drops his blade.
The fight is over! (Except for the fleeing guy) Vex and Jess can try and calm this guy before his turn
Corvus smiles as the fencer's life force enters his body. Oh how he loves that feeling, it makes him feel stronger, more in control. However, his moment of glee is cut short when he sees Drezmir strait up snapped a guy's neck without much effort. Hmmm. There he is in that odd form again. Such power. Where did he get it from?
The pseudodragon darts ahead of the fleeing fencer cutting him off and trying to herd him back to the group. This will help anyone who wishes to stop the guy.
OOC The familiar already used it's help action this phase. The familiar can do that next round. But right now the only people who can try and stop this guy before he starts fleeing is Jess/Vex. (He is in front of Gilded he'll have to disengage or take a risk and dash. This is guard 8 by the way so he's pretty hurt.

Drezmir turns slowly to look at the fencers who have surrendered, ignoring the fleeing man for the time being. His body is shaking, and his eyes seem distant. What had just happened? He open's and closes his hand, feeling the blood on his hand, it was sticky, stickier then normal...or was it? Did it just feel stickier because of the fur covering his arm...no, that is just an illusion. This is all just that blasted demon trying to get into his head.
He fixes his eyes on the 4 fencers."Where is Simon?" He asks, his voice sounding strangely like a growl. As he speaks, his tongue brushes against sharp teeth...great Fulgur is this really real? He looks at the frightened expressions of the fencers, then turns to his comrades, searching them for reactions as well. They hadn't given any the first time...that had to mean this was an illusion right? He feels the blood on his hand, and remembers the feeling of that fencer's neck snapping...he'd never possessed that sort of strength before...he...hadn't intended to kill that man... Something had taken ahold of him, and he didn't like it. His blood was boiling, and his scars burned. That was nothing new. It was almost a comfort in the midst of everything else.
Insight to read everyone else's reactions to what just happened (if any): 21
Jess gives Drez an arched brow but her complexion remains calm and calculating. She’s thinking it’s interesting he can transform, but then again so can she. Certainly his form is more… dangerous and violent than she can muster, but he seems to be able to control it (she would use it to kill if she were able to do the same), so overall she’s not very concerned, more impressed that such power resides in the group.

Vex grabs the thorn from his pocket and whips the fleeing guy with a whip. To hit: 17 Damage: 5 and if it hits, Vex goes in front of him. If not, he runs up behind him and shouts “Stop or I’ll kill you”
It appears that the round has come to me to stop the fleeing fencer.
Gilded will drop his sword, then pull a javelin and throw it at the fleeing man.
To hit: 24 Damage: 10
As the fleeing man is impaled by the javelin Gilded (knowing he will hit, doesn't even watch) will then pick up his sword and turn to Drez. He doesn't have fear in his eyes, but he is holding his sword tightly at his side and he is slightly defensive. "Time for you to turn back now big boy, you are making the natives nervous."
OOC: (Gilded is always in kill mode unless otherwise noted.)
Drezmir looks at Gilded, eyes wide, "Wait...so, it is real?" He looks back down at his hands, then raises his free hand to his face. He flinches when his hand/paw comes into contact with his long snout and then his right ear. He is visibly shaking when he removes his hand. His ears twitch almost experimentally, and his tails move back and forth just slightly. Slowly, he tries to put his dagger back into his belt, but his hand is shaking so much he has to use both in order to get it back into it's sheath.
"So...back there with the wolves," he says hesitantly. "This happened there too?" He looks back at Gilded, realizing that he no longer has to look up at the Dragonborn (I'm assuming Gilded is taller then he is in his half-elf form). "Turn back? I don't... How did I turn back the first time?"
He remembers passing out a second time in the battle, and waking up as himself again. Suddenly, he drops to his knees in front of Gilded, "Knock me out. I can't stay like this..." He bows his head, ears laying flat like a dog expecting a blow.
Corvus watches all of this with an amused smirk on his face. So the fool is afraid of his own power? Ha! If he can't get over himself then why does he deserve to have it? Shaking his head, he makes his way over to the fencer who dropped his weapon. His red eyes glance over the other three living men, then shift back to the one that surrendered. "I suggest you answer the dog's question. Where is Simon? And you know what? Why don't you tell us where that Dawn Blade is while your at it." He clicks this metal talons together, menacingly. "And be quick about it. We don't have all day."
Gilded eases his stance at Drez. "Are you sure, I don't think I want to knock you out, As long as your in control, Im good. I just wasn't too sure you were in control there for a minute"
He turns to the fencers, "Everyone on your knees, its your only chance out of this alive."
Once they comply, he goes over to pull his javelin out of the fencer that ran. He then drinks his other healing potion, and goes to check the bodies of the prisoners and the dead, looking for notes, maps, etc. Will check out the rapiers as well.. can't imagine he wants one, but will see if they are any good.
healing 9
He does this without really looking or talking to anyone else.
Jess will quickly make her way over to Gilded when he’s away from the others retrieving his javelin, and put her hand on his shoulder. Loud enough for others to hear she will say,
“You fought well. Thank you for holding them off. Do you need healing?”
Then she will lean in close and whisper to him,
“I’m your friend, you can trust my motives.”
(if Gilded needs healing she will give it)
Then, as the others begin to interrogate the guards, she will say matter-of-factory to Corvus and Drez, within earshot of all the guards,
“I’m not sure we can promise to leave them alive. How will we secure them? Safer for us to just finish them off.”

Once again the familiar starts flapping and nipping at the fencers, this time targeting guard 10.
Corvus uses this opportunity to send a blast towards that guard.

Jess will say, "Stop him! He might warn others."
She will throw a ball of scalding water at him (produce flame) to hit 10 damage 8 fire
Probably missing, she'll say, "Quick Robin, shoot him!"
Drezmir turns slowly to look at the fencers who have surrendered, ignoring the fleeing man for the time being. His body is shaking, and his eyes seem distant. What had just happened?
