Kronus tilts his head somewhat " Why lock a door with nothing important inside? " shifting uneasily his ears flicking.. " Unless you don't want to search it.. Then I rather finish some much needed.. business with the Carrion King "
Kronus scrunches his face in a displeased manner, but for once thinks on his reasoning at the current time. His paw scratching his elongated chiseled Hyena-chin as he looks upon the Slaves. Why was he here? Was it not to get revenge on the one who took all from him? To become stronger and the king? But what of the Humans? The Tall one eyes him like a challenge.. in which he would normally confront, but has stayed due to ties to Kuralaak. The Petite Human Female known as Iryna has soothed his wounds and blessed this one known as "Saranrae" she is kind.. like...No.. she is human.. nothing more.. His code dictated he return that favor.. Kuralaak, his bloodpack.. was a statue.. he needed to help him in an equal way. Otherwise what use is his strength? After thinking this all over Kronus speaks in a raspy guttural common, slamming a fist to his chest and pointing at the slaves, "I Am Kronus Deathmaw.. Soon to be King.. I asked of a Harem for there is someone I look for and something I seek. I owe much to the female human and even more to another Gnoll. If protecting you helps them, You will have the full might of my strength.. I do not allow things that are mine to be misused...and I do not enjoy the meat of humans much. You are.. relatively safe. Apparently this Dawnflower sees something in my quest to aid me.. And these humans most likely want you alive" He sneers at the end there as Grim pops the lock at about the end of his speel
" If he is as strong as these beasts I shall peel him just as fast! And Assume my place as a TRUE Gnoll King... Now tell me Slave.... is his harem close by? " Kronus says as the healing magics of Sarenrae wash over him and seems to absorb into his fur somewhat..its hue gaining a BIT of his old color. Warmer and healthy rather than Cold and grey.
Kronus spits on the Unchosen as it plummets to the ground under the assault of the combined might of the Party's fury.. Reaching down grabbing it by the jaw and opening its mouth before giving a bone-snapping,sickening twist to break its neck, just in case. " Weak, I see why they are called Unchosen, can't even use the power they were given. They deserve to be nothing but Fodder. But At least its Death will assist me." Kronus says as he unceremoniously rips out the biggest fang with this hand-paw, still bloody and most likely burnt somewhat. He places in in a pouch which seems to be where he places particular Trophies.. Teeth. Without even flinching. [b]" Some King he is, turning out to be to make failures like that was.. We Gnolls don't need him..His final cry will be that much more satisfying. " Kronus then starts to notice his wounds are bleeding profusely as the adrenaline drops and pain sets in.. but he does not Yelp or Pant he simply looked to The Humans and pointed to them. " Your Dawnflower seemed to be with us all this time.. It died quickly. Though I got Tapped a little...BRAhahahah! " He chuckles a baying Hyena-like laugh.
Round 1
Kronus growls lowly and narrows his gaze on this Gnoll.. he seemed similar to him.. yet.. Larger! Was this the Carrion King?! No.. he doesnt weild an axe... Then.. THen Maybe it has his prize!? His necklace.. And this enraged him, that it could have his possession. As the Gnoll rushes Kronus Claw and Maw ring against his stolen armor and he intends to match blow for blow! He shouts in boasting Raspy Gnoll. "NNRAAAHHH! I AM KRONUS DEATHMAW! KNOW YOUR DEATH COMES FROM A GREATER BEAST! YOUR BLOOD AND BODY SHALL SATE MY USES!"
Kronus rips and tears.. When the Opposing Gnoll cuts across his chest, He digs his claws in its arms and kidneys and then simultaneously latches onto the neck as it bites his own in a grisly bloodbath!
Kronus look up from the neck of one of the Gnolls.. which he proceeds to snap after releasing them from his maw. Peering over near the slaves with disinterest. " So you plan on making them your own or what? I have little use for slaves right now "
To be fair it WAS the holiday weekend with Thanksgiving then Black Friday. So Its not unlike people to be missing then ESPECIALLY if they visit family out of town
*prod* Also happy belated Turkeyday and surviving our BLACKEST of Fridays.
Kronus finds trouble in his armor and elects instead to leap upon one of the Gnolls just as they spot him with a bone crunching bite
Kronus chuckles a Hyena's taunt and gets to his feet, sated on Hyenadon meat. He cracks his knuckles by flexing his powerful claws and smiles. " The Grim-human has a good plan, Slaughter them all before they get a chance to run and alert the rest; A plan I wholly agree with! " He smirks at Hajar " Just know one thing Hajar-human, Not every Gnoll worships The Mother... I happen to be one of them..I only revere what I can hold and experience.. The Mother didn't help prevent what was taken from me.. Now.. Let us get this started.. I need practice to figure out How I shall make that Traitor suffer! "
I got my stuff updated between posts though I rarely have differences arise
The snap and rend of flesh, sinew and bone comes from Kronus as he sits enjoying his haunches of meat while Grim Scouts. As Grim leaves he will point to Hajar and shout "Humansh *snap, pop* You sshould Getsh jur dawnflowersh Blesshings *munch, chew, swallow* You look like what I started in after those whelps gave me a little 'petting', Don't want you to go ahead and get killed if ya can help it. Exploiting weakness is common on the battlefield. " Going back to his food.. giving that bit of info with his gruff, raspy voice as per normal, but it was clearly a sincere effort
Kronus seems to fume and rip another Hyenadon chuck from his meal in fury at Cayden's words, pointing at him " I Do NOT show 'concern'! That is for the weak! I owe him a debt and I keep my vows! Once you show concern you are tossed aside like the cattle you are or have that concern betray you ,you SHALL help us and remember my words. " The Gnoll seems to twitch and shake breathing quickly and heavily before slowly calming down
Kronus grows agitated as it slowly starts to become apparent that Cayden is ignorant of exactly what he speaks of. He steels himself and tries to get the words out. " My ally was struck with a breath, that turned him to stone.. because I was not quick enough to kill a beast. He is one of my kind.. but shorter and weaker... with normal fur.. His name is Kuralaak.. He is still stone "
The White-Grey Gnoll stalks around this Cayden and chuckles, the news somewhat amusing until.. the word cleric rings in his head and Kronus' smirk becomes less amused and serious. " You seem to know your place. Good. Now tell me, you say a cleric of this 'Dawnflower' like her? " Pointing to Iryna " Or is this cleric stronger? Can it cure stone? " The Gnoll seems concerned for something and frustrated at the same time, he presses his questions in like they are of utmost import.
Kronus grunts as you see the Grey-haired Gnoll reaching down and ripping teeth from the Gnolls he fell and placing them in a pouch ripping a chunk of the Hyenadons and chewing on the bloody mass. He approaches you.. sniffing and thumbs to Hajar with a raspy voice in common " That human over there is the one they call Hajar.. If he is a paladin or an Abbot in your language I can't say. Why were you here and why did you attack our prey as well? "
Round 2
Kronus rebuffs the Hyendadon barreling towards him as its maw comes down on his newly acquired armor allows him the ability to grip its jaw and lodge his body in a way to prevent it clamping down. With a surge of strength he disengages the battle of wills between them and roars a challenge of might. He strikes at the new Hyendadon as him ad Grim distract it.. while Hajar closes ranks on the other 3 Gnolls
For the second Claw
His battle-lust grows stronger as Kronus begins to gain a rhythm with his prey using its recklessness against it. He scrapes a claw against its snout which makes the Hyendadon rear up and reveal soft flesh under its right foremost leg. Kronus nearly cleaves through at the joint almost severing the muscles and gimping its locomotion.
Kronus lays into the Blue Hyenadon Ripping and tearing with Ferocity at the fall of Kuralaak not taking much notice to the streaming Arrows overhead
As the beast Bite into Hajar.. An arrow lodges in its back distracting it enough for Kronus to take both of his sharp claws and burrow one into its throat while the other reaches into its chest cavity . He Rips out the heart and crushes its windpipe simultaneously.. covering himself in its' gore. He looks up at the Other Gnolls and points then give the cutthroat expression with enough menace to push that threat.
Well you Can Rp.. which we did.. like The Door Scene.. The Trog Scene.. stuff like that... You generally have to make the RP yourself is all. This particular portion I believe is supposed to feel like a gauntlet so that the fight at the end is more epic.
Kronus sneers but it seems to damper as his looks upon his fellow Gnoll.. Kuralaak. This Gnoll, a rare trait among his kind, seemed smarter and utilized that odd contraption of a crossbow; Most importantly.. He was the one that helped Kronus. Stalking the statue Kronus absorbs Kuralaak's features and his expression whispering something to himself in Gnoll, before turning to Face Hajar, Grim, Iryna and Selina. " Your Dawnflower cannot save him from this!? If so The Carrion King shall pay! I will not sit by and allow my...your ally to stay like this ... Make sure he is placed safely... We shall be back for him.. with the Carrion King's head.. maybe the traitor's blood will help. " Kronus starts to walk off outwardly angry but obviously trying to mask his sadness; An odd trait for him. Gnoll Whisper: " I, Kronus Deathmaw, vow on my very life I shall return the debt you have given me Blood Brother Kuralaak.. I shall ensure that you are fixed and have fresh bloody meat when you return. "
Round 2
Kronus Growls, noticing the Humans have become statues and tries to draw the creatures attention his and Grim's way so that it doesnt go around Smashing them " Pay attention to the real threat you walking Beef Steak! I hope your stupidity doesn't transfer over to your Flesh or I might get sick "
The first strike mearly scratches the Hide while the second finds purchase in soft underbelly and Kronus snaps his jaws menacingly
[dice=AoO vs Kronus]1d20+14
Round 1
" Let me show you how its DONE! RAAAAH!"
Where Hajar had his blow deflected,Kronus takes advantage of the distraction to strike the intended spot digging his claws in and taking a small chunk of its metal carapace away
Kronus back-flips landing on all fours as the Bull breaks through the door with little effort. He evades most of the splintering wood and debris a few landing in his fur. He starts to growl ready to assault this creature.. perhaps do to it what he did to the door. It did not matter how big the creature was, nothing would stand in his way as long a Kronus lived. " It seems like his pet wants to play..we'll have to put it down like the other one! "
Kronus lopes near the entrance and quirks a brow at the speed at which the Human closed the door. " Is not this the way to your enemy? Seems like some sort of pet but it is made of metal " Cracking his knuckles and grinning
Kronus looks to the Female Human Iryna and smiles, nodding once. He seems pleased with the recognition, popping a shoulder and cracking his neck before he calms down again. " Maybe that Strength was your 'Dawnflower' quickening your approach to this Great Evil? Hrmm? " He gestures to the remains of the door and Hajar " Though whatever it is inside, besides the Carrion King, knows something strong is coming... "
Kronus snickers and cracks his neck. Clearly this was a test, only a true Gnoll could open this door, he forgoes the help of the rest and attempted this.. alone " Grraaah! Thats a waste of time! This door is clearly a challenge and I INTEND TO BEAT IT! "
Kronus walks back up to the door, looking at its deheveled hinges and condition. Then.. The feeling.. Feeling of power his necklace would give him in dire times. A power rises in his body his eyes grow Feral and Kronus Leaps up clasping to the wall with the strength of just his arms and claws, legs and feet, digging into the rusted metal and ripping a hinge out the wall, then another. Backflipping to the ground then shoulder-rushing the door with tremendous force. Afterwards the White-Grey Gnoll seems..slightly taller and more fit..clearly stronger in some way he roars a Hyena's victory. " As if he could make a door to STOP ME! This is Proof only the strong can enter and take his title! "
Goes to attempt to help Hajar but remembers how the Human looked at him before.. putting in a half effort, if you could even call it that "Seems like the strength simply isnt with me Oh Human of the Dawnflower. Perhaps The fight with that Trog has worn me down? "
Its fine man take the time you need
" You seek to purify this place? Yes? Will you be fine with a snake that can leave that around.. freely..? If so I am fine with that I would rather Sink my teeth into the Carrion King as well. Once I am King I will kill it later. " Kronus smirking at the speed of which the Human seems to realize how big the snake is.
Kronus grunts, to then look at Iryna and slowly nods at her needing no help or direction. His ferocity is subdued somewhat but the feeling of a threat does not back down to Hajar.... " Not all of them... Look at your Leader-human... He holds his blade sure I will pounce... His talk of redemption may not be so universal. Do know smoothskin-Iryna, I have targets.. you are not my target.. and you have not threatened me nor stolen from me... That is not what I am. You have provided your blessings... your 'Dawnflower' truly must favor you .. See if she can lead this group safely. Let us go " Kronus palms Iryna's face in what seems to be an attempt to reciprocate a similar form of comfort before raspily chuckling like a Hyena and heading for F. As they approach he points at the mounds and cringes .... " Those, Human-sized dung.. are snake...A big snake " cracking his knuckles and flexing his claws.
Kronus sneers at Hajar, his eyes still red with anger, though not focused towards the 'human' in particular. He stays riled up and speaks. " I am not allowed to Be infuriated?! I am not some sage or Holy Saint. I am a warrior! I have thought of how to kill the Carrion King several moons! I have had everything I hold dear taken from me.. and all I have is what I am now! Do you even know what that Feels like Human!? The key to my happiness, to my STRENGTH is not HERE!But yes for your help from before I will 'Calm Down' .. I do not promise this will be the case If I found Who took it. especially if it is the Carrion King! " Covers his face with a hand clawing at it enough to draw a bit a blood before his facial couture growing to more... docile.. you might say.. the eye-color however remains clearly seething with Fiery Vengeance.
Kronus watches as the others dig through the piles and when it comes his chance he leaps at the opportunity. He seems quite calm at first moving through the mess.. finding an axe and some of his trinkets but that searching grew more and more erratic until issuing forth a maddening and angry shout in his raspy common" Mother of Monsters!!, It isn't HERE! WHERE IS IT! WHO ELSE WEARS IT LIKE A TROPHY!? I SWEAR I SHALL GRIND THEIR BONES IN MY TEETH!! " The Greyish White Gnoll seems Enraged and frantic whispering lowly to himself a bit becoming slowly audible "-Die they all will die.. I need it..."
Kronus seems to push in any direction that would seem more likely to place us in conflict.. as he takes the severed head of the Trog with him.. Ripping out a tooth as he switched his armor for the cleric's.. He seems somehow.. Much more Feral than before.. Eyes even a distinct red. He also seemed to look at particular parts of the pile with slight interest, noticing their worth "THERE...GET THOSE... they are worth.. Uhhh 10 of your Human Slaves, They are not what I need however!" pointing out the valubles.
Kronus stares at the Trog then looks to Hajar , then looks down to the Trog again.. Growling and baring teeth at him " For every Gnoll you fed to that creature, I hope they find you in the afterlife and make you their Wench.. Know that even in your last moments a Gnoll was your downfall! You can kill this whelp... But I get his teeth! Say hello to your God" Kronus allows enough room for the Tempest to Slice down
Round 6
Kronus roars jerking the Trog back and forth preventing him from burying his axe-blade into his own body. With a Twist and bite, he attempts to lock him down and seize his movements
His arm seizes up allowing The cleric to go free while also giving him time to dodge Hajar's wayward swing... he growls at hajar not sure if that was intended or not then turns his attention back to the Trog Cleric.
On Another note.. That creature was a BEAST
Round 5
Kronus spits on the pile of goo as it melts. He then looks up at the Trog that started the whole mess and growls leaping at him with mouth wide open, ready to chomp down and hold him with Kronus' massive weight.
Round 4
" THESE ARE MY HUMANS! YOU GET YOUR OWN! "
