The arrow hits him in the lower left leg doing massive 18 point blow which pierces bone, tissue and forces the Vong to roll back down the pit from the wound. Strie'bog fires his own bow at Vong #5 fighting Farseeker. The arrow goes wild to the ground a foot behind the man. Will decides to throw another one of his spare throwing daggers. the insubstantial dagger flies away from Will and becomes solid once it leaves his field of magic. Vong #7 is few feet away and the dagger hits him squarely in the head. but it is in the section above his brain case which is raised like a high bone area. Since it is mostly bone there the dagger only does 2 points of damage. Raban does one final slap to the Shaper's head and crushes her cheekbones. The Shaper fells limp to the ground. Raban looks down to the blood on his hands and the sad state of the limp female. He feels bad for the creature but given enough time she would kill all female humans if she could. Unali rounds the corner and heads south toward the Vong to help Kell and Z'leyra. She is now about 20 feet to them. Farseeker thrusts at Vong #5 hitting him in the left middle chest doing 11 points. The Vong staggers a bit backwards from the three blows from his great sword. For a large man with a heavy frame, Chion leaps off the ground to swipe at one of the flying creatures. The special dagger slices the creature from head to leg killing the creature instantly. Ben'dar takes a breath and glances around. Across the area he can see Kell and Z'leyra fighting. But they seem too far away to help fast. Glancing back he spots Strie'bog and the Vong door. It seems secure but who knows who could come through it. After all the party has been fighting for only 20 or so seconds. Ben'dar pulls up his spear and charges Vong #5 fighting Farseeker. Ben'dar's magical spear impales the Vong in the lower left doing the final damage to kill the Vong. Arawn studies the man nearby and tries to figure out what his chance of interacting with him. He is clearly a prisoner based on his soiled clothing. Arawn uses his Elvish Empathy to try to determine the man's emotional state and intent. But it seems oddly unclear at this state. It doesn't take a Elf to figure out what he is probably certain to do or thinking. Even a Troll could probably figure out that the man is cautious, alert and wary. Arawn is unsure if the man is intent to help himself or the others. Arawn is also unclear if the man regards the Alfar standing in front of him as friend or foe. Arawn finally speaks up, "I'm here to help," he replies to the man. keeping one eye on the man as he studied the people in the cells and strung up on the Embrace of Pain. "Do you know-." Kell crouches just as Vong #11's amphistaff tried to hit him seconds earlier. In this chance he thrusts forward with his magical spear and impales the Vong center chest doing far more than the amount to finally kill him. Captain Lin remains unconscious at the feet of Caladan. Vong #7 realizes he can't fight the vile Will so charges at Kell. Stepping over the dead comrade at his feet he thrusts his amphistaff at Kell hitting him in the lower right abdomen doing 4 points of damage. Vong #6 swings at Z'leyra but fails to strike her at all. The other two Vong in the pit try to scramble. One on his feet fails to grip onto the rock as it slides away from his hand and he can't get braced to climb up and out. The other Vong which Fremea just broke his leg can't get to his feet so shouts some Vong curses at the Mist where Fremea is. Finally brain cells seem to kick in. Two Vong exit onto the ladders of the perches on each side of the pit cave. One climbs down and peers around the corner to the north where Farseeker is standing. On the west end the second Vong stands on the land and gets finally a better view of what is going on with the battle where Z'leyra is fighting. Z'leyra swings with her magical staff hitting the Vong #6 in the left side doing 11 points of damage to him. Caladan takes a swing with his war staff at the last flying creature but fails to hit him. Kiet looks at the being in the Vong cell and looks at Zhou. He nods to Zhou that this has to be dealt with. But for now there are a couple other rooms. Kiet urges Zhou forward knowing that there is little to do here. Kiet and Zhou rush to the next cell to the west. Peering inside there are 3 humans who seem to be in their lower 20s maybe high teens. This leads the one area to the right or west to explore. The Voxyen again tries to bite at Z'leyra but fails to make physical contact. The last flying creature dives toward Chion but fails to make contact with his claws. The male standing in front of Arawn regards him and his comment. As the Alfar speaks the man looks to the right briefly and then back at the nicely dressed and well armed person in front of him. ----------------------- [Time: 1:25:33 pm - Turn 3: Phase 2] Fremea fires on Vong #9 trying to scale the pit edge. The arrow does hit him in the back but fails to penetrate his tough crab armor. Will throws two more daggers from his sack of spares at Vong #6 fighting Z'leyra. But both fail to hit and land near Z'leyra's feet. Raban turns around and notices the new Vong #17 climbing down the ladder from the west perch. He leaps and flies toward the ladder and lands with some grace at the base of the ladder. He grabs the Vong and throws him to the ground. Unali charges south and ends up behind Kell and besides Z'leyra. She thrusts at Vong #6 with both of her daggers. The magical dagger fails to hit but the regular one does hit him in the right middle chest dong the final damage to kill that warrior. Farseeker yells to Strie'bog and Ben'dar to guard the Vong entrance. Then charges south toward the new Vong that came out of the perch area. Chion swings at the last flying creature but fails to hit it. Ben'dar growls at Farseeker but realizes the door is vulnerable. If more the cave they could warn reinforcements. He heads back to the north wall to guard the door. Arawn notices a slight chance to his aura as he continues to speak to the man. He realizes the Armor spell has just ended. Now he is a bit weaker if the Vong attack but that is not likely to happen. At least the human is in no danger to him since he has no weapon that Arawn can see. Arawn finishes his comment to the man, "- how to safely free them?" Kell stabs Vong #7 hitting him in a light wound doing 1 point to his left lower chest. Vong #13 again tries to climb out of the pit but again the dirt and rocks are too lose and high. He slips back down the edge. Vong #9 notices the Vong carrion bugs getting closer and suddenly pounce on him. The warrior begins to swipe his hands at the carnivorous bugs and is swarmed. in Seconds the bugs finish off the Vong. Vong #7 swipes at Kell but fails to make contact with him. Z'leyra turns toward the snarling Voxyen and bashed down with her staff hitting the dog-beast in the back. The damage done is severe and kills the creature instantly. The human regards Arawn with a raises quick eyebrow and then looks to the Embrace of Pain torture devices. Suddenly behind him a large man with a scarred and battered hands and face joins him to the left. The man stands about 6 feet 3 and well muscled. Then another male then another. Finally the first man stands with four men blocking the way out of this area all staring at Arawn. While Arawn can defend himself well he might not be able to handle these many men though all are it seems not armed. The "door" to the cell area in the north is as seen earlier was a simple threshold with no door or rail like the cells here. So the prisoners just walked out. They must've gotten their courage once the Vong left? One man says, "Peace brigader! Kill him!" The men look at the well dressed and armed man and all look annoyed. Actions? Comments?
