Round Three
R:3 - Utazó clears her mind and focuses on listening for Tara. She is pretty sure which way the sound is coming from. She walks in that general direction, sword in front of her. The hilt grows cold and a moment later, she is surrounded by streaks of light in the darkness. It is cold, almost wet. "Now I know how this could go wrong."
R:3 - Yui releases her dagger and turns to face the commander. She sees him running towards Birtwood and makes a line to intercept him. She charges, hoping to catch him before he gets to Birtwood.
R:3 - Darazen sees a sword coming right at him and weaves to one side. He focuses on the LTs (NPC3: LT1) mind and tries to slice it, but the vision of that sword is too hard to shake. "Must stay out of battle...must stay out of battle."
R:3 - Commander (NPC1: Cmdr) seeing his cypher work so well, he charges forward. "The Queen will get her prize...and maybe a bonus too". He steps out of the darkness as Tara turns around.
R:3 - Tara upon seeing Birtwood stumble out of the darkness and collapse on the floor, drags the poor plant creature further into the hallway and the light... She leaves a minor glowglobe next to Birtwood and takes up a position between Birtwood and the darkness, she'll continue her verbal beacon and discontinue the stomping.. "Birt has come into the light, but he's hurt." Tara sets back into her waiting stance.. to attack any enemy that emerges from the darkness.
R:3 - Birtwood lies on the ground. He is trying to focus on the pain, on catching his breath. His stalk looks up to see this "commander" step out of the darkness and Tara step between them. Then he blacks out.
R:3 - (NPC2: SubCmd) is struck by an arrow from Vult. he knows he must close the distance or take another arrow. He steps forward, raises his sword and swings. (Vult: Defense roll)
R:3 - The LT (NPC3: LT1) raises his sword to swing at Darazen. His eyes open wide as he is caught by Khoren.
R:3 - (NPC4: LT2) is dead.
R:3 - Mudman (MM) is dying.
R:3 - Khoren is filled with adrenaline and leaps to his feet.He quickly turns toward Darazen's plea and steps over to help. Focusing on Darazen, the LT (NPC3: LT1) does not see Khoren coming as Khoren plunges his punch dagger into the backside of the LT (2-1 dmg). Khoren reaches around and sinks his other dagger into the LTs neck (2 + 4 dmg). The LT drops to his knees, grasping his neck.
R:3 - Vult aiming at the sub commander (NPC2: SubCmd) and lets the arrow fly. With a thumps, the arrow finds its mark (4 - 1 dmg).
The smell of ozone seems to fill the air for a moment and darkness starts to lift. The commander exclaims, "Damn!"
