Runk starts to bleed out from his wounds just as Ethan spreads his holy light over him stopping the bleeding and bringing him back to conciousness. Blake somewhat singed from the goblins wand forgets about the goblin dog and struggles to try and get free from his entanglement.
He just struggles hastily, with no luck trying to get out. Zizz shots a ray at the panther, but it goes wide missing it completely. Kesten moves around trying to distract the beast but isn't able to get a hit in as he tries to make sure he doesn't fall into the hole he is next to. Fofin continues his attack on the panther, trying to help Runk.
He misses yet again. The goblin, as before points his wand at Blake.
The flames scorch the Blake even further, luckily with Ethan's healing Blake manages to stay up.
Fofin, Kesten
The panther turns and moves around to Kesten to attack.
As the panther moves away to go after Kesten Fofin takes a swing at the beast.
With the feline moving away Fofin manages to just hit him in the back with the pick doing some damage.
The cat continues it's assualt on Kesten taking a nice bite out of his arm, just barly penetrating his armor.
The goblin dog also continues it's assualt on Blake.
Still not able to bite the man even with his current issues.
Fire course around him and Blake bellows in terror. Panic sets in and he writhes and pulls at the thickets that are entangling his legs. Fighting against the vegetation to get away from the dangerous fire until he breaks free of the circle of snatching vines. Finding himself behind the panther he slashes desperately at the creature blocking his escape with his magically imbued blade.
Runks eyes flutter open and he quickly wishes they hadn't. Pain lances up from his multitude of injuries and his head swims from the blood loss. With the pain comes remembrance and the halfling glances about to see the state of things.
Seeing that his fallen form has largely been forgotten by both the panther and their other foes he quietly slips his hand into his pack to withdraw a small flask.
Kesten starts to mumble, obvious fear in his eyes.
"Can't... Too close.. But Runk.. Can't leave! But.. No!" he spews out as his hands become conduits for living lightning once again, and his hand thrusts forward as if pushed by a different, more confident man.
>
Ethan tries to hold is aim, despite the vines tearing at his arms.
He draws and fires again at the goblin.
With too much movement around the panther, and seeing the goblin score another hit on Blake, Zizouket changes his target. He moves into range of the goblin, and sends a fiery ray in his direction.
Blake and Kesten get in position to attack the panther, but Blake doesn't seem to have much luck as it easily dodges his blow. Kesten uses the opportunity to touch the panther letting out a shocking blast. Runk slyly pulls out one of his potions while Ethan takes a shot but like all his other attacks it flies of into the underbrush.
Zizouket switches target and blasts the goblin with a fiery ray. Fofin moves over to try and put an end to the last Goblin Dog.
He misses with all the vines making it difficult to attack. With the fire, Gogmurt turns his attention to Ziz, using the same wand he had been using on Blake.
The fire bursts over Ziz nearly dropping him.
The panther continues after Kesten.
The panther rips into him with a claw dropping him to the ground.
The goblin dog tries to take a bite out of Fofin.
The dog bites into Fofin, after he manages to shake off the dog, he starts scratching around the wound as he appears to be having an allergic reaction.
As the swirl of melee continues around him Runk throws back the potion he retrieved. It's potent magic flows through him closing his wounds and drowning the pain.
Feeling much more himself he rises from the ground and looks for someone to stab.
Ethan once again calls upon Erastil's grace.
Kesten grabs his spear, and tries to keep the panther occupied so that his friends can finish it off.
Zizouket grits his teeth in determination when he's hit with the wand's magic. He waves his hands, casting a more powerful spell. "Surezko eskura!" He points his hand at the goblin spellcaster, and a gnome-sized, hand-shaped wave of fire rolls off his fingers in Gogmurt's direction.
Runk drinks his potion and stands up ready to get back into the fight. Ethan spreads his dieties divine light healing some of the wounds of those caught in the area. Blake continues his assualt on the panther.
He misses his mark as Zizz takes another shot at Gogmurt which blasts him again with fire. Kesten, stands with his spear but can't do much more after the brutal attack. Fofin continues at the goblin dog trying to put it down, even with his allergic reaction.
He barely misses the dog, but curses at the vines causing him problems. Gogmurt returns the spell back at Ziz from his wand.
This time the flames go wide, dissipating to the side of Ziz.
The panther continues attacking those around him.
Luckily the panther isn't able to land any of it's attacks. The goblin dog continues his battle with Fofin.
Also missing.
Scooping up his daggers Runk calls to Blake "Make room..."
Ethan draws an arrow and fires at the goblin again.
Zizouket breathes a sigh of relief when the goblin's spell misses him. He repeats his modified fiery grasp spell.
"Surezko eskura."
Ethan takes yet another shot that flies off into the underbrush, Blake takes a swing at the panther.
After missing and hearing Runk's request he steps to the side. Runk moves in, daggers in hand, barely managing to hit the panter but getting a blade in there. Ziz lets loose another spell, which like Gogmurt's sizzles to the side of the goblin. Kesten continues to threaten the panther while Fofin still works on the goblin dog.
Gogmurt continues his exchange of magic with Ziz launching some more flames at him.
His magic hits Ziz but only for a small scold.
Kesten, Blake, Runk
The panter aware of Runk once again turns on hit with ferocious speed biting him and slapping him down with a claw.
The goblin dog also misses Fofin.
Again Runk comes under the panthers fury, buffeted by strikes until he again falls to the ground.
Ethan opens himself as a conduit to Erastil's mercy.
Runk, not again!
Kesten will attempt to get up, even though it will provoke the ire of the panther. He then lets healing magic flow through his fingers.
Zizouket sighs when he sees Runk drop again. He continues to focus on the goblin spellcaster, though.
"Surezko eskura." Another fiery hand-shaped wave of magic releases towards the goblin, but goes wide.
Runk lies on the floor, but the bleeding seems to have stopped at least. Ethan lets out his healing light once again healing everyone in it's radius. Blake continues to fight the panther.
He still can't manage to land a blow though. Ziz releases another spell finding similar effect to the one before as it sizzles to the side of the goblin. Kesten stands up.
The panther takes a swipe at him, but with all the other threats around him doesn't manage to land the claw allowing Kesten a chance to heal himself further. Fofin still works on the goblin dog.
Fofin slams the pick into the goblin dog, putting it down finally.
Gogmurt continues his exchange of magic with Ziz launching some more flames at him.
His magic hits Ziz and as flames wash over him, he drops to the ground.
Kesten, Blake
The panther rips into Blake with a claw, dropping him to the floor.
Ethan calls on his deity's aid again.
Kesten starts mumbling, and his hands feel alive with electricity.
"Ethan, be ready to shoot it. I'll move away in a few seconds, leaving you a clear shot!"
He turns and zaps the panther, by grabbing his nose and letting electricity run its course!
>
"Fofin, I'm sure you speak Dwarven, but Ethan, how about you?"
"I do not," Ethan replies, readying himself to take a shot at then panther.
Ethan channels his deity once again, only barely healing the wounds of his companions Blake tries standing up and getting away from the Panther.
The panther swipes at him, but misses. Ziz continues to lie on the floor unconcious, even though Ethan was able to stop him from bleeding any further. Kesten zaps the panther doing some damage to it. Fofin moves to help with the Panther.
Like many of the others, he bring his pick down just to the side of the Feline. The panther turns to attack Fofin.
Two claw hits, slahing into the dwarf and dropping him to the ground. Gogmurt turns his attention to Ethan who has been sitting back shooting arrows and lobs some fire at him from his wand..
The flames strike true but the Ethan manages to stay standing.
Ethan calls again on Erastil to save his companions.
Ethan ones again calls on the power of his deity. This time to much greater effect as it appears to get most of his companions back into the fight. Blake moves away from the panther toward the goblin. While the panther takes a swipe at him.
Luckily missing him, Blake casts a spell at the goblin as a bright multi-colored spray spews forth at the little monster.
The goblin is overwhelmed by the colors for a moment.
"Runk, pick up your weapon and slice at its paws, and I'll zap it from here. C'mon lad! Don't want to die inside the stomach of a kitty-cat now do you?"
Zizouket pulls himself up, and gauges the situation quickly. Seeing the goblin reeling from Blake's spell, he tries his fiery grasp with reach again.
"Surezko eskura!"
Ziz gets off a fiery grasp that severily injuries the goblin as it screeches in pain.
Runk spits to clear the blood from his mouth as he scoops up his daggers and rises. "Gonna wear your hide cat." he threatens as he prepares to attack.
Kesten missed the opportunity to take advantage of the panther focussing on Runk getting up, and stabs too high.
"I... Hate... Panthers..!!"
Fofin swings at the panther.
Fofin connects doing some damage to the panther finally. Gogmurt takes a moment to cast a spell on himself as a number of his wounds heal over.
The panter gets ready to attack
The panther attempts to assualt Fofin, but with all the others around he can't manage to score a hit while also trying to defend himself.
Ethan attempts another shot at the goblin.
Zizouket points his finger at the goblin spellcaster, firing another fiery ray at him.
"Zizouket, can you be ready to counter his magic, the next time he tries anything funny?"
He turns to the panther, slowly trying to draw his attention away from Runk so he can find an opening.
Dwarven>"Fofin, be ready to charge that little *%#@& when Runk drops him."
Runk shifts and weaves with the panthers motions. When it turns it's attention to Kesten he takes advantage of its distraction and strikes.
His aim is off however, no doubt due to all his recent blood loss.
"..."
Kesten takes a step back, and aims the spear just below the mouth of the beast. He mumbles a bit, and as his spear strikes true he twists it routinely, a glimmer of sadism shining in his eye.
>
Ethan takes another shot that goes wide. Blake tries to lay into the panther again, enchanting his blade with his own magical energy.
Still missing. Ziz follows up with another spell at the goblin which connects and badly singes him.
Runk tries to stab at the panther but doesn't have any luck. Kesten moves back and jabs at the panther, connecting and almost knocking it to the ground. Fofin tries to help finish it off.
He misses as well. The panther takes a swipe at Fofin before trying to run off.
He misses and attempts jumping over the pit and avoiding peoples attacks.
He seems to slip past everyone. Gogmurt shakes out of his stuper and casts a spell to heal himself. Then he moves off into the underbrush, walking through it as if it were nothing.
Ethan snaps off a shot at the fleeing panther.
Runk sneers as the cat leaps over him, making a run for the brush. "Oh no you don't!"
Stepping forward he launches a pair of daggers at the fleeing cat.
The halfling curses as both weapons fly wide.
As Runk throws the daggers past, Kesten's words stop in their tracks as he was about to say the same thing! He accidentally bumps into Runk, throwing off his aim, as he goes forward and attempts to stick his spear into the panther! Once again, his aim is off!
"..."
Ethan seems to free himself from the vines, but it doesn't seem to help much with his aim. Blake rushes forward to try and put an end to the panther.
He doesn't have any luck.
Zizouket says some arcane words and shapes his free hand, and a ball of acid appears. He throws it at the panther, missing well wide.
