Bearded Man easily parries the first blow with the mace and grins in anticipation of counterattacking... but just at that moment the other blow, the one that Ilwhyte brought with the off-hand, hits him on the side of the side, overcoming the protection of the leather armor and causing a copious flow of blood to gush out.
"This..." Bearded Man spits blood "I hadn't seen it... coming..."
Then he collapses, first on his knees then on his face, dead, while his blood spreads in a pool under his corpse.
Tarysaa slips forward at a diagonal, going between Nim and Clas into the upper left hand corner of the room. Seeing one man go down, yet another right behind, she lets loose an arrow at close range.
Combat Log: Attack: 11 Dmg: 9
'Such a sloppy shot', she thought, as she reaches for another arrow... "NIM, a little help here!"
Tarysaa has a little difficulty moving, first having to make her way through the allies, then stand up on one of the beds, but in the end, balancing her weight, she hastens to shoot an arrow at Big Head...
Maybe too fast? Absolutely not! The shot about which she had just thought 'Such a sloppy shot' hits the unfortunate Zhentarim, who didn't have time to put on his armor and is fighting wearing a simple threadbare shirt! The arrow sticks in his leg, causing a copious gush of blood!
"Damned Elf!" yells Big Head, trying in vain to staunch the monstrous hemorrhage "The femoral artery ... I'm ..." he collapses sitting on the ground "I'm ..." he collapses to the ground, weakened by the rapid flow of blood "...doomed" and the his voluminous head hits the floor. Another one bites the dust.
Pointy Nosed woman lets out an anguished scream: "Nooo! Dragoș!" then she looks at Tarysaa for a moment with hatred "When I get my hands on you, I'll make a necklace with those pointy ears of yours, killer!"
For now, however, there is no talk of laying hands on the elf killer because Ardana and Ilwhyte are involved... and then, mace in hand, the woman tries to surprise the barbarian with a blow carried above the now run down tub.
(OOC: Huh... good thing she did not go for Ardana again!)
And indeed, Ilwhyte sees too late the blow that is coming; he has barely the time to move and limit the damage, but the mace's heavy studded head strikes his shoulder, causing excruciating pain. At least, the warrior realizes, there can't be a broken bone…. his arm still moves, albeit a little numb.
In the meantime, Mangy is clearly torn between the two impulses of throwing himself into the finally accessible room and waiting with Daisy in front of the much less interesting still closed door... In the end, the wolf remains at the Druid's side.
Nim rushes forward into the fray and shuffles past his companions and leaps onto the bed in the bottom left corner of the room and locks eyes with the pointy nosed woman. Likely looking shocked and confused as to why her companion the bald man would be entering the room with her foes.
(OOC:Nim casts vicious mockery on her.)
”STRIKE A LIGHT! Did your nose get even bigger or am I absolutely slaughtered again? Go on then poke em with it! Looks sharper than a sword that!”
"But... What..." the pointy nosed woman remains speechless, both when she sees the fellow Zhentarim who enters and, apparently, is on the side of the invaders, and when she hears him addressing her those cruelly offensive words!
"It is clear from your words that you are not poor Akhil at all" the woman growls, shaking off the effect of the magical offenses. "You're just a shape-shifter who wants to trick us with magic! But we'll see what form you want to take, when we enjoy seeing you dangling in the air hanged by the neck!"
Today is a wonderful day to start Round 8! So... Daisy is up!
Daisy muses at the voices behind the door, then hears the commotion coming from the room the others just breached. "Sight tight. I'll be right back... Probably safer in there for now anyway!" The dwarf trots off toward the raucous sounds.
"Didn't they say they were ready to surrender?!" Daisy asks from behind Clas, trying to peer into the room.
(Move: Step to space north of Cl. Action: Hold a rock for one to come into view.)
From the position reached, Daisy is already able to see an enemy... Pointy Nose woman! The dwarf then throws her stone, which strikes the woman in her chest.
Pointy Nose momentarily brings his left hand to her chest, with a groan: "Damn you! How many are you!?"
The boy with bowl-shaped red hair then blurts out: "Now I'll make them drop in number!" and aims his crossbow at Clas...
...The warrior evidently doesn't take the threat posed by the young adversary seriously enough and is a fraction of a second too slow to raise Barrel in his defense: the next moment the dart is already stuck through the armor, in Clas' shoulder! The armor must have limited the damage, but the wound still burns like hell - a head to the center, and it could have been deadly!
Now Clas, Ardana, Ilwhyte and Tarysaa are up! Any order
Clas swiftly covers a distance of 10 feet along the north wall, passing over the haphazard beds with determined purpose. With his shield 'Barrel' held firmly, and his formidable longsword 'Ale' in hand, he sets his sights on the red-haired Zhentarim slaver. Clas' hazel eyes gleam with unyielding determination as he faces the villain. There is no doubt in Clas' heart, only a crossbow bolt, as he prepares to strike. "Your wicked deeds end here, you Red-haired Rascal!" he booms with laughter. Hahahaha!
Game Log Longsword attack 8 damage 9 Next time, Rascal, next time. Hahahaha!
The determined warrior goes to put an end to the twisted lifetime of wrongdoing the red-haired rascal undoubtedly must have amassed despite his young life. Unfortunately, accustomed to the soil of glorious battlefields, Clas is unable to balance on the beds by striking blows, so the youngster, now bending over to one side, now leaping over to the other, manages to postpone the just punishment.
Pointy Nose, however, is less lucky: Ardana manages to move her mace with a swing of her hammer, and then hits her with a return blow! The Zhentarim puts a hand to her breast, moaning and moaning: "Such a treacherous blow, from you, a woman like me..." she then collapses to the ground, defunct. The impact, not cushioned by any armor, must have damaged internal organs.
Finally, seeing Daisy who has resumed hostilities, Mangy rushes into the room like a fury! He sees that only Red Hairs is still standing, so he leaps onto the beds, dodges the tub and pounces on the boy!
Poor Red Hairs miraculously manages to interpose the handle of the crossbow, which he was still holding, between himself and the wolf's eager for revenge fangs. Eyes wide with terror and clothes in tatters, young Zhentarim shrieks, "Noo! Calm down, Mangy, stop! I've always been the one who bullied you the least! Ungrateful monster..."
Now Ilwhyte, Tarysaa and Nimblestep are up! Any order
Tarysaa knows she can not thread the arrow through all the chaos of bodies currently on the other side of the room. She stays posted with an eye on the doorway and hall... just in case all the noise has roused other Zhentarium to action.
