CH. 04 - Prince Hluuwee, Fabulous He

[Daos]

Poppy takes a swing at the first guard, to no avail.  Without her weapons, she's of little use.

The shaman calls out orders to his men in Raven Call, then begins praying to the Great Raven.  His skin hardens and thickens like wood, protecting him like armor.  Terani dodges one guard's spear, then prays again to Elonna, infecting the shaman with necrotic energy.  He feels a surge of power this time, and the dark energy is enough to rot the shaman's flesh, leaving nothing but a dried up husk as it collapses to the ground, unmoving.

The fifth guard strikes at April, stabbing her left arm, which is left vulnerable without her coral armor or shield.  With the shaman dead, April turns her attention to this guard and tries to shove him, but the guard holds his ground.

Kalinda dodges the spears of her two opponents, then once again strikes at both.  And once again, she manages to hurt the first one but the second one blocks.  A moment later, Blitz charges into the second guard, causing him to slip on the now slick floor and fall over onto his back with a clatter.

Mizzle, feeling a surge of power in the indoor rain, throws back her hood.  Drawing on her water-based powers, she causes the rain around the guards to shimmer and shine like a rainbow, making them easier to strike.

April clenches her right hand into a fist, feeling her knuckles form into a mountain range in her skin. The guard in front of her shines clear as a morning star, illuminated by Mizzle's magic. She grits her teeth; one step forward--and she strikes.

Poppy swings and misses again against the first guard, but Kalinda finishes him off with a punch instead.  Blitz quickly grabs the fallen guard's spear and stabs the second guard, while Mizzle water whips the same target to no avail.

Meanwhile, outside the cell, a guard stabs Terani and another stabs April.  Terani counters with a prayer that causes the guard to pale, and is followed up with April slugging the guard across the chin.

The third guard calls out something in Raven Call to his companions.

April grits her teeth as the speartip cuts through her skin, blood fluttering through the air and landing on the ground like butterflies. Her fist connects with the guard, crunching bones against armored flesh, and she feels her leg swing, bashing against the Ravenite's knee.

Terani takes two more stab wounds, leaving him bloodied and weakened, to the point that his cantrip fails to even affect the guard.  Kalinda, however, manages to take down the second guard, meaning there are now just the three outside of the cell remaining.  Blitz rushes to Terani's aid, but to no avail.

The third guard begins reaching for a horn on his hip.

The blades sting Terani bitterly. If there was only him against the guard, maybe he'd risk it but, he owed an apology to the rest. As such he smiled at the guard as he requested Elonna's blessing of healing.

April spins like a top, launching her fist into the guard's skull, a slingshot hurling muscle and bone. "Don't let him blow that horn!" she calls out to Poppy.

"How am I supposed to do that?" Poppy demands, before noticing the spear on the ground dropped by the second guard.  "Oh, that'll work," she says.  Placing her foot on it, she rolls it back onto her foot, then flips it up into her hands.  Now with a weapon again, she charges the third guard, stabbing him in the throat just as he brings the horn to his lips.  Rather than blow air through it, he just coughs up some blood before collapsing to the ground.

April and the fifth guard exchange blows, but ultimately the paladin manages to take him out with one final punch.

While Terani healed himself, Kalinda and Blitz rushed to his aid, killing the last of the guards by working together.

"Someone surely heard all of that ruckus," Mizzle notes as the rain stops.  "I suggest we don't dawdle."
