Don't go up to the big dog you idiots!
Zayid nods to Pelgrev and moves up to attack the bigger dog.
Freia and Korrith clobber their dog into unconsciousness. Zayid connects with the massive canine. It slowly turns its horse -sized head around to look down at the ranger.
Johnny attacks the dog in front of him with all his might
Johnny connects with a solid thunk, and the dog collapses.
Johnny crushes the dog in front of him just in time for it to be replaced by another.
Noro quit dancing with that dog. knock that thing out already
Stupid mutt.
Ariana won't bother wasting another spell, she'll move up 25' and fire her crossbow at the one in front of Pelgrev.
for
Ariana's bolt goes just barely wide and clatters against the stone of the street.
Another flurry of attacks erupts from the pack as they try to protect the large Alpha. Korrith does an impressive job fending off his trio of attackers, but one makes it through his chemically hardened defences . Pelgrev and Johnny both defend themselves effectively against the snapping jaws. Zayid, however, is caught between a Dog and a Monster. The smaller of the two just manages to slip in while his eyes are on the larger .
The puppy Noro has in a death cuddle tries valiantly to escape, to no avail.
Noro squeezes the dogs neck forcing the animal to the ground gasping for air its wind pipe being crushed under her vice like grasp.
With a whine and a whimper Noro's dog passes out.
Ol' Mum takes advantage of the dog's momentary distraction to roll up to her feet. She dances back and stabs at the dog, scoring a good hit. That brings the beast's attention squarely back to her. It steps to follow, but it's bite is warded by the wood of the long spear's shaft.
Zayid swats at the smaller dog and dodges away from it in pursuit of the leader-hound. He swings his cudgel again as he steps up, but isn't quite settled and only manages to graze fur.
Pelgrev unleashes a primal roar and slams a two-handed hatchet blow down at the dog he is facing. It looks like he is trying to hammer it into the stones of the road.
Seeing as the dogs have finally coalesced into a lump of stinking fur and slavering jaws worthy to be dispersed with magic Freia moves up to the row standing next to Korrith and unleashes her magic. She removes a handful of coloured sand from her component pouch and throws it in the air while chanting:
"Veritas, Credo, Oculos"
There is a brief flash then all the colours of the rainbow dances in the air infront of her - threatening to overpower the senses of the unlucky dogs. That will do it!
=miss
The bomb skips off the dog's fur and breaks behind the mutt, exploding in truly spectacular form with a mighty crack of sound.
The bomb bounces off the Dog's forehead and lands to Korrith's left (if he's facing the target)
As he's throwing, the dog snips at his hand, opening a gash between hardened scales.
The bomb has severely wounded the middle and left puppy.
Freia's spell goes off spectacularly. The nearest dog passes out forthwith, but the other two hold their feet, growling in defiance of the pretty lights
The bomb goes of just a second after Freia unleashes her spell causing her to recoil away from it. She quickly covers her eyes with her free arm and takes a panicked breath - I think I might have to get used to this ... Dammit! She quickly glances around hoping none of her companions noticed her brief hesitation - but for what she can tell they appear to be adequately distracted by the rest of the pack.
When the dust and smoke settles a split second later she once again turn back to the dogs closest to her - expecting to be greeted by three incapacitated dogs. She gnashes her teeth when she realizes that two of them are still standing tall - despite magic and other mayhem! Atleast they are injured - her talents allow her to determine that much. Sadly, Korrith appears to be hurt aswell...
She growls between her clenched teeth as she prepares another strike:
"Dammit! I've heard that luck usually favours the underdog - but this is silly!"
Johnny glances over to see Noro squeeze the dog into submission and his eyes go wide with regards to her strength
Wow I stand corrected Noro keep doing what you are doing
Johnny swings his morning star at the dog left in front of him and grunts as he swings down on the animal.
Yes let’s clear these things out
The dog before Johnny crumples to the ground.
Pelgrev starts frothing a bit at the mouth, a reaction to his building rage. He makes low, strangled noises as his struggle with the dog continues.
Ari moves up another few feet to Zayid and blasts the giant dog with a color spray. Resilient little bastard, aren't you? Let's see what the handsome one can do with a blade if you're on the ground mewling as a pup!
The color washes over the dog and he... doesn't even notice!
Handsome? Blade? Who's she talking about?
The cudgel-wielding young man steals a glance around him.
You'd think dogs would be more susceptible to mind-affecting magic...sorry for being so useless so far.
A flurry of bites results in a series of lucky dodges, deft deflections, and relieved sighs. Except for Noro. She dodges a nip from the left only to get a bite from the right . The dog behind Zayid steps up to attack, but barely misses.
Well that just piss Noro off. almost as much as someone making fun of her fighting style.
Noro glares at the dog that bit into her and growls back as she gives the animal a low kick across the bloody jaw so it will mix her blood with its own. most likely snapping the poor dogs neck and killing it.
HP: 13 / 17
AC: 11
Rage used 1 / 6
The dog doesn't even know what hit him as he skids across the ground into a heap.
Ol' Mum and the Beast dance a little before the beast lunges. Ol' Mum evades the bite easily, but cannot bring her spear to bear in time to counter attack. They both end up where they started, and are still completely absorbed with each other, eyes locked.
Zayid swings his club at the big dog once more, dodging out of the smaller dog's way as he does so. "Come on..." he whispers, wishing himself luck.
Pelgrev sidesteps the dog's lunge, and fires a sharp strike towards its rib cage.
Freia steps over the unconscious body of the dog her magic actually worked on and attempts to strike down one of the more resilient critters. Her swing connects with a satisfying 'thud' and the dog collapses on the ground.
After watching Noro kick the brain right out of the dog Johnny’s jaw drops, Holy crap Noro remind me not to get on your bad side. That is most impressive.
Johnny moves up alongside of Noro and smashes down at the lone remaining dog around them.
Well that should take care of the last one over here
Korrith misses his dog by a hair's-breadth.
Ari's pretty much out of anything useful. I forgot say she was prepping a second sleep spell in her free slot once we found out about the dogs so..
The wizard cranks back her crossbow and tries shooting the biggest dog. .
For all her arcane prowess, it takes a trusty old crossbow for Ariana to make the difference. Her bolt flies true and pierces the Beast's neck just above the shoulders. It shudders with a pained whine and staggers away from the fight, blood seeping from the wound.
The other dogs follow their alpha, running to keep pace with the massive strides of the larger dog.
