Round 7
Init: Harp (25), Flying Guy (23), Surin (20), Maximus (18), Lady De Blum (15), Kal (14), Ranthir (12), Ally (12), Salix (7), Legionaries (7), Creatures ( E3) (7), Mund (5), Ragnar (5).
Harp curses Kal impatience. Hadn't the elf learned anything. The ½ orc hurries around the corner, trying to catch up with the elf. He's glad to see that the idiot had not charged head long into the thing. It had some long arms and with a club of that size Kal might have been bashed off the battlements before he even got close. As he approaches the elf he starts chanting the prayer that will connect the two rings. He makes a fist with his hand, feeling the touch of the metal on his finger. As he finishes the prayer he feels the power reach out and join the ring on Kal's hand.
From below Mund hears his brother shouting "Mund come here! Your not going to be able to get him that way!" Mund turns and dives towards his brother. Ally sees his brother turn in the air and dive towards him. From about 80 feet away and down the mage sees 5 glowing bolts of power streak from a spot in the sky and burn into Mund's dragon form (Damage 14). Mund roars in pain again but continues towards where his brother his is. He lands clumsily at his brothers side.
Surin stops trying to keep to the shadows and moves at full speed towards the doors.
Maximus takes a look around and charges at the last foe (E1) letting out a scream as he moves. His scream gets the things attention and as he closes it swings it's club at him (AC21, 1+16=17, auto miss). Maximus, running at full speed, ducks under the club and closes with the thing. His short sword lashes out and finds the gap in the belly plate of the hide armor (AC (AC20, 7+15=22, hit, damage 8). The sword slides in hilt deep. Maximus jabs the sword to the side, opening a large cut in the things guts. Entrails slide out as the thing falls to the ground, its eyes going wide.
Kal feels the same sense of calm as when Harp first showed him the prayer of joining and the elf whispers the words of command. His blade frosts over and flickers of static race along the edges. . Reassured, the elf dances forward, yelling at the remaining legionarie "Head for the stairs. Today is not your day to die. I'll handle this abomination." His rapier thrusting forward, Kal looks for a gap in the things armor. His first strike slides of the thick hide (AC20, 1+13=14, auto miss) as the creature turns at the last second. However, Kal takes advantage of this move and spins and thrusts again. This time the thin blade finds a gap in the chest plate and slides home (AC20, 15+8=23, hit, damage 15). As the blade slide into the things flesh the cold and the static course through the creatures body.
Ran almost falls over from the pain. He looks around and see Maximus standing there over the dead creatures body. He turns to the other two warriors "Are you two ok?"
When Mund lands besides him with a thump Ally gets a good look at what shape he is in. The dragons white skin is blotchy and blackened. Charred pieces of wing and skin are starting to flake off. Ally whispers to his brother as he prepares his spell ''Mund, this wizard is even more powerful than I am. I don't have anything that can get him directly while he's invisible like this. However, this more powerful variety of invisibility has one big weakness: it doesn't last long. If I make you invisible with the more normal variety, you will stay invisible much longer than he does as long as you don't attack. Just fly up invisible, wait for his invisibility spell to end, and then pounce on him.' The mage then chants his spell, touches the dragon form on the shoulder. The dragon disappears from site and Ally takes off towards the doors.
Salix is relieved that the two creatures on this side are dead, but from his perch up on the mountain side he can see that Kal is fighting the other creature all by himself. Shouting down to the others "The one on the other side is still alive. Kal and Harp are there by themselves." Salix concentrates and calls down another bolt. He curses to himself when he sees that the bolt strikes about 20 feet short of where the creature is.
The last legionarie on Kal's side backs away, holding her sword carefully in front of her.
The last creature turns and faces his new foe, Kal. The elf dodges and weaves as best he can as the massive club swings at his head. He miss times his dodge (AC24, 10+16=26, hit, damage 17, he takes 9 and Harp takes 8) and the club grazes his head. He feels part of his pain drain away. A few steps away Harp hisses as a small waive of pain passes through him. The second blow (AC24, 17+11=28, hit, damage 22, Kal takes 11, Harp takes 11) catches him off guard. Again the pain from the blow seems to flow out of him. Behind him Harp arm breaks.
Ragnar rushes towards Ran and chants the most powerful healing prayer he has (Cure Critical, heal 29). Maximus yells at Ran "The elf is getting killed. He needs help."

Ragnar looks across the battlements and debates whether or not Ran could carry him over. Then he looks back at the men at his feet, and realizes that their needs are more urgent, if they're still alive. (If Ran doesn't fly over to help before Ragnar goes) He petitions another blessing on Ran's behalf (CSW) and then (or if Ran has already left) turns to see if any of the legionaries are still holding on to any scrap of life. The sight before him is sobering, and it is clear that most of the men are far beyond his aid. (If there are any alive though, he will CLW them.)
