PBEM - Episode 571. Final Fight!

FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE

(I/C)

Taking aim, Brendon gave Lyra a nudge and suggested, “Lass get in there and help!” before firing (<+6 to hit, +1 bless, Red 6), arrow breaking on the dragon’s flank. “Damn it, I’m down to 6 arrows!”

Digging out a vial of healing, she hoisted her Lolthian Flail and ran in, “Everyone calm your nuts, I’m going in next!”

Wyn fired from the ceiling, swooping around a bit more to the north and east, heading towards Lannis and Brendon (<+8 to hit, +1 bless, Orange 4), his own shaft blunting on impact and falling aside. “Merde. I am down to quatre!”

Cocking his hammer back, Kovid readied his legs beneath him and when the dragon’s head came about for another snapping bite, he jumped up and swung hard, “Eat Theystra’s silver hammer you meat stick.” (>+6 to hit, +1 bless, Yellow 20 –Critical! Max Damage: 8+3+1+6(striking) = 18 Damage!) At the apex of his jump, his hammer connect with the side of the dragon’s head, both Corfard’s skull and the Theystran Hammer rang like a gong; the dragon lolling back, red flames blowing from its mouth from the hit. He landed with one knee down, grinning madly. “Ha!”

As for the dragon, scales on its face were shattered, its horn was bent and chipped, and there was a gap in its mouth where busted teeth fell free, the eyeball rolling wildly in its socket. “You Don’t Ever Strike A God!!!!”

Lyra arrived, pressing the healing potion in Abraxas’ hand, kicking the dragon in the shin and shrieking at him, “You think we can’t wipe the floor with you a second time? Think again you bitch, bitch!” 

Drawing his Ishtari Rod, Lannis noted it read”4” on the counter before he readied the weapon and called out in the spell induced half volume voice, "Second Lieutenant Offop in enfilade providing suppressing fire! Concentrating fire on enemy designated Tenfold Shields! Let's go people, we are moving!" He activated the rod and (2-4 bolts: Pink 5:3+1=4 bolts!) it fired off four times! (+7 to hit, +1 Bless, >White 20 – Crit Max Damage 6!, >Pink 19 – 1d6 Damage Pink 6 – 6 Damage!, <Pink 6, <White 12) One bolt tore into the dragon’s midsection, disappearing up to the fletching, another shredded the muscle cluster near the left wing. Corfard roared in fury from the punishment, stomping the ground hard enough to crack the flagstones.

The Cleric swung (<+4 to hit, +1 bless, White 13), her silver weapon hitting and sparking, but the dragon was frustrated with other issues befalling it.

"BettunopuedescomerourCleric, tuUndeadIdoloFalso!" Abraxas finished his potion (Heal 1d6: Blue 5 – Heal 5!), getting a bit of strength returned , before swinging past Lyra’s shield to (=+8 to hit, +1 bless, Blue 13) cut through Corfard’s hide and drag his Morrigaan Scythe through the beast’s guts (1d8+4 damage, Blue 6+4=10 Damage!)

(Bite for: 1-4 Lyra, 5 Kovid, 6 Abraxas: Green 4 – Lyra – swing on both fighters)

“I’ll show you false, monkey!” Corfard spat, turning its eyes at the dwarf. “First lets’ clear the board of your Rook!” His tail arced back and he turned, swinging it with all his might (<+12 to hit, Red/Black 17), it making a WHOOSHING sound as it clove the air just before hitting Kovid like a freight train (1d8+4 Damage: Blue 4+4=8 Damage. Knock back @ ½ Str: Yellow 11 – no! Knocked back 20’ and prone). The dwarf’s armor actually rang as he was hurled up and back, at least half a spear throw, before he rolled to a stop, head shaking, head bleeding, trying to catch his breath.

“HA! Stay down!” He then whirled on Abraxas, “And for you, Knight!” he lifted one claw up and tore it straight down, looking to shred the Fighter! (<+12 to hit, Blue 3) But Abraxas rolled out of the way just in time, sparks shredding the stones where the dragon’s claws has hit.

“Never mind,” he fixed his eyes on Lyra. “Let’s deal with the Bishop!” (>+12 to hit, Black 18!) His jaws hit and she screamed as she was lifted up and shaken about, his jaws crunching again and again (3d8+4 Damage: Invulnerability potion – all randoms are 1: 1+1+1+4=7 Damage!). But as before, when it was over, she was hurt, but not ripped apart. “I don’t know how long whatever spell you have on you, Little Monkey. But it won’t last forever!”

(Initiative 1 vs 1 – reroll: Party Steel 1 vs Corfard Red/Black 4)

Hearing Kovid trying to get up, Corfard made a “tsking” noise and said, “Stay down, Rook. Mommy and Daddy are fighting!” A burst of sticky webs flew out from one claw, coating the dwarf from head to toe, sticking him to the ground for now. “That’s better! Stay where I can find you!”

He then brought his tail around, looking to smash Abraxas out of the way as he had done Kovid (<+12 to hit, Black 3 – twice I’ve missed you!!) but the Fighter threw himself flat, hasted speed giving him enough time to do so and bounce up after the tail flew on by, just missing getting smashed. “Aww! Quick little monkey!”

“And you girl? Ready to meet my gullet at long last?!” He snapped forward again, biting Lyra (>+12 to hit, Green 12), and once more savaged the Cleric who was crying and sobbing and moaning in fury (3d8+4 Damage: Invulnerability potion – all randoms are 1: 1+1+1+4=7 Damage!). She was pretty hurt at this point, but damn it all to hell if Lyra wasn’t STILL standing, defiant sneer on her face, shield and armor dented, scratched, ripped, and punctured. “What is it going to take to KILL you all!?!”
