Four fast Razor bugs shoot out and 3 however impact on the wall near him. But one does hit him square in the chest penetrating his chainmail doing one point of damage however. Vong Archer #1 raises his own weapon and fires at Raban down below him. Of the six fired bug missile objects 5 hit him and one misses. Four of those do not penetrate his tough armor before they fall to the ground. The last one though does penetrate and does 3 points. Fremea hovers above her Mist and scans the area. She finds the battlefield is empty. She notices Raban seems to be dealing with a pocket of resistance but likely will be done soon. She notices Farseeker on the other side as well fighting. She could fly to help but he would be in her way. Raban rushed back onto the ladder and makes it groan as he reaches the top fast. He reaches into the opening and grabs the Vong archer by one large hand and yanks. This time he makes contact on his shoulder and with a bit of a low grunt he slams the warrior onto the ground splayed out. Farseeker sheathes his great sword and rushes to the ladder. He makes the quick climb to the top. While he is stronger than normal men he isn't strong enough to do a Raban move. But he punches outward at the warrior in front of his face with his gloved hand. The force isn't strong enough to do damage but it does startle him. Caladan yells for Z'leyra to come check out Captain Lin. ------------- [Time: 1:25:45 pm - Turn 4: Phase 2] Raban climbs down and charges the Vong Archer on the ground. He kicks the Vong bug weapon away from the creature's hands. Farseeker enters the perch quickly and tackles the Vong Archer. The large military man tries to do a quick punch but fails to make contact. Vong Archer pulls his coufee out and charges Raban. He swipes the bone dagger and makes contact but Raban's armor protects him fully. The other Archer also grabs his coufee as his amphistaff is tossed away in the tackle. He charges Farseeker and swipes his dagger cutting him deep in the arm doing 5 points of damage. ------------- [Time: 1:25:48 pm - Turn 4: Phase 3] Raban punches the Vong archer squarely in the chest and does 12 points of damage. Farseeker feints a forward step and then 3 backwards as if wary of the Vong prowess. He then ducks and does a side step. Vong archer thrusts at Raban with his coufee and stabs in the middle left chest but does only 2 points. The other Vong charges forward getting confident in the coward that is Farseeker. But as he does he forgets he is only a few feet from the edge. As the Vong lunges forward his speed is so fast he forgets to slow down and goes flying out the perch and slamming on the ground 8 feet down. ------------- [Time: 1:25:51 pm - Turn 4: Phase 4] Raban punches the Vong archer and flattens him to the ground in a quick movement of his gauntlets. The Vong seems to be down or dead. Farseeker almost slides down the Vong ladder and leaps to the ground. In his supernatural agility he grabs his sword and charges the Vong on the ground. He impales the warrior killing him instantly through the back. Zhou and Kiet reaches the outside area and searches for Fremea. The Mist is easy to find at this point. Zhou gives a yell to her. "Fremea, we need you to come look at something." ------------- [Time: 1:27 pm] Over the next couple minutes the group assembles and quickly forms a plan. Farseeker, Ben'dar and Raban will take the entrance area to ensure no Vong come in. They will deal with them then. Those not working on immediate concerns like wounds help to organize the human prisoners. Soon Will's own spells end and can operate normally. Fremea lands and follows Zhou while Kiet watches Zhou more as he enters the prisoner area. Fremea's mist is still active for another minute or so which makes it hard for the two humans to walk other than with caution. They seem to have to rely on touch and directions from memory. There they lead Fremea to the second area they found. Fremea walks past Zhou who points to a area which is just a wall. But she gets the gist of his blind directions to the cell before her. She passes through the Vong built cell that is a small inner alcove. There she is startled to find a nude female Faerry in an Embrace of Pain. She looks to be rather young but the most obvious thing is that one of her wings is completely torn off. She looks up with weak eyes and her eyes show confusion and amazement at the same time. Fremea steps forward to see further details and notice the Faerry has a small bit of coral implant on her neck, right cheek, left arm and right hip. Her naked body seems to tremble as she tries to shift to see Fremea. Inside the other area the man looks at Arawn and after a minute seems to consider his options. He finally speaks, "I am Mun, Healer to my people. We are what is left of the prisoners. I noticed one of the female creatures use this." He shows Arawn the gauntlet like strap. It almost seems to be like a glove or falcon strip of some kind. "She used this to control the Embrace of Pain. It made things worse and better. But I do not know how to use the cursed magical thing. We may need to...", he lowers his voice a bit, "need to end their misery." One of the humans behind the Healer grunts and moves away. Couple of them try to peer outside to see what is going on. One of the men looks out and notices the party moving about. "Looks like they killed the beasts!" Soon party members help to gather up the humans in one area as they can so they can be checked out for wounds and other issues. Soon a head count is made. There are 31 adults (14 male, 17 females). there are three nude adults trapped in Embrace of Pain [1 Male, 2 female). There are only 4 children ranged from 8-14 (2 females, 2 males). There are 3 teen females around 14-16. Plus the Faerry prisoner as well. This makes over 40 humans in total to deal with. All the Vong seem to be killed but one. The one Vong knocked out in the final battle was punched out by Raban. He seems to be weak but still alive. Raban hauls the Vong o the others to show for quick dispatching. Caladan looks at Raban and notices he is a bit pale. "You okay big guy?" "Fit as a proud bear guarding his cubs." The giant pounds his chest at that ignoring his own minor wounds. Zhou watches Raban pass by and notice the giant stagger a bit as if the adrenaline is wearing off. But then suddenly the Bard begins to slow down and swagger. Zhou and Caladan come to help and see what the problem is. Suddenly Raban begins to tilt to the side toward the pit itself. Zhou tries to as much as he can to pull the giant away from the edge. But the Dark Lander doesn't think it through. As Caladan and Kiet begin to tilt the giant back towards away from the edge the giant falls backwards. Unfortunately, the giant uses Zhou as a soft pillow. Zhou gasps and struggles to breath under the 800 pound giant's large frame. "Get...me...out!" But he realizes he is pinned down by the giant. Raban is now splayed on top of Zhou face down to the ground but seems to be unconscious. Farseeker rushes to come up and motions for others to help. It might take 4-5 people to get him free. Actions?
