141b- fight nearly done [edit] [delete] Admin
Selina glides past Callum intent on the last of the Dogheads, daggers in her fingers, ready for either a throw or a thrust, Just as Yuri steps back from the combat and start shouting after the fleeing red-man and the dogs that are chasing him. Rolf, advancing, Takes advantage of Yuri's movement and launches a huge overhead swing of his bastard sword, at about the same time as Callum wreaks havoc with his claymore and Ravn Thrusts with his spear. Its confusing but Ravn's spear knocks the doghead's club away and Rolf and Callum's blows land, fairly and squarely, one on each shoulder. Rolf's sword cleaves half way to the chest and Callum's even further. The doghead just sort of hangs there, dead from the shock and spouting blood, supported by the two blades buried deep inside him. Edgar sits in his tree, hopping from foot to foot, while the other look on. Kerim, worried about reinforcements, strings his bow, and Mandrake searches the bodies, finding they are indeed all dead, and that they carry nothing unusual. Amok is just about to cross the path again, further down the track, when he hears Yuri's shout.

And I will try and remember to use the JPG version next time to keep the image cleaner :P
Pushing herself from [edit] [delete] Selina
the fray, Selina rebalances her blades in her hands, swaying slightly as she turns towards the path. She raises up her arm to ready a throw, but the effort is too much, and she collapses, into a sitting position, her knives clattering to the ground with a peal like high pitched bells.
Sliced Doghead anyone? [edit] [delete] Rolf
Rolf sticks up a foot against the dead doghead and uses the leverage to pull his blade free. He feels more than hears the grating sound as it slides across its ribs. Turning, he glances about to ensure that no further threat is immediate. He looks to Yuri, about to ask after the shout, when the swooning Selina draws his attentions. "Peter, Mandrake, see to Selina. Yuri, what's the tale of your friend with the puppies?" He keeps himself alert, ready for action.

Winded? Or Done? [edit] [delete] Amok
Amok has begun to tire in earnest. The dogs nipping at his heels have left him winded, but not yet done. Then he hears Yuri's shout. He can't quite make out the words, but decides that return may be the better part of valor. (OOC: Okay, I mangled that saying)! Running back onto the road, Amok looks for a bramble to put at his back; having only one half a field to defend, a better stance than the whole way round. Amok calls out back to the group, "Ii-Yee haff de mongrels kornard! Coem playa ohr gaem!" He then swings at the first dog to attack! (OOC: To Hit = 9 without modifiers. Damage (if any) on 1d6 = 3).
Gotta see a man about a dog [edit] [delete] Edgar
Edgar peers towards the man and the hounds. "I think they're his ..." he begins, before seeing the tiring Amok's clumsy thrust at one of the beasts. "Perhaps not."
Selina's plight [edit] [delete] Kerim Alakani
Still feeling that he is somehow responsible for their current plight Kerim watches Selina fall, and even before she hits the ground he is running to her side. Through the pounding of his heart he hears Rolf's directions to Peter and Mandrake, Mandrake being the closest of the pair, but this doesn't stop his efforts to get to 'his charge'. He cradles Selina, in a kneeled crouch, letting her head fall on his chest. But as usual he has no follow through plan, no great skill at dealing with what he encounters. Like a fish out of water he holds Selina, suddenly aware he has no idea what he's doing. To take this sting out of his failure he looks up to the red man and the dogs then to Rolf, who stands triumphant over the slain doghead, seemingly for the nonce oblivious of the poor man's plight, perhaps not. Despite being bitter at the red man for having laid ruin to his careful and thoughtful plans he can't leave the man be to the hounds, more so if he too is an enemy of the dogheads. Tearing his eyes away from Rolf, and ignoring Selina's he shouts "Hurry, save the red man from himself, hurry!" Then with a sudden acuteness he is intimatelly aware of just how much an unconcsious Selina weighs and struggles to keep her form upright to his. Try as he may though he finds it nigh impossible not to grasp her in ways ungentlemanly, his embarresement of the predicament vividly obvious.
To the rescue [edit] [delete] Rolf
Hearing from Kerim that the red man is one deserving of aid, Rolf takes a quick glance. Seeing that Kerim is otherwise engaged and the wound to Callum's leg, he makes his chioces. "Yuri, Ravn, with me." He leads the charge to reinforce the man beset by the hounds.
Opening [edit] [delete] Selina
her eyes, slightly, Selina groans as her eyelids flutter open wider. She glances up at Kerim, and speaks softly, pain tinging her voice. "Don't worry about me. It's alright, I promise not to bite yo-" The last words are interuppted by a fit of coughing, which forces Selina to grab Kerim to steady herself. "Help me... up." she says between gasps for breath.
Capt'n! [edit] [delete] Yuri
"Aye", replies Yuri as he follows Rolf's lead, sparing a quick look over his shoulder as they leave.
What, miss a fight? [edit] [delete] Callum mac Aonghas
Callum shakes the remains of the doghead from his sword. When Rolf shouts for Yuri and Ravn to follow, Callum growls more ferociously than any of the canines and limps after them.
