Lafisual nods a smile in Shadow's direction as Kree talks sharing a knowing glance about uncertainty.  He listens carefully as Tra is referred to and again as they approach the upcoming scene.  He heeds the warning to not look threatening to the birds.

Brie was in awe of the scene before them.  It was amazing to see this type of battle.  It didn't take long for Kree's comment to hit her ears.  Being akin of the forest like those birds she was off and started targeting the same creature the birds were attacking.  She drew her bow and started firing using the foliage as a shield.

   Orlin gazes to the hawks and speaks directly to them.  "Brothers of the wind, My comrades seek to help the stags.  I have medicine that may help.  Let us approach.  We will assist if you need it."

   as the group slowly Approaches the scene.. The Forest Runner  roars, its One  Good wide at the  sight of the Humanoids .

   Brie's  arrows  slam into the Creature  and  it  roars more... it is  staggering   as it  shakes its head, slamming it s tail on the ground , again and again...

 The   Birds   continue their  Attack... The stag is  pushing its   calf  towards the trees with its  head , as it staggers.. the little one too frightened  to move much , on its own.

 Ivy Sends  a shaft into its  right thigh.. trying to hamper its movement.

In reply to Kree's unit (msg # 34):

Gareth loose a volley at the forest runner to protect the fawn.
17:45, Today: Gareth Greenbow rolled 17 using 1d20.  arrow 2.
17:45, Today: Gareth Greenbow rolled 14 using 1d20.  arrow 1.

  Gareth's  shafts.. zip into the  Creature, one near its belly the other on its  right flank as it  turned..

 Deep wounds were showing  in the  creature's back, at least 5  razorhawks  hammered  away with their bone crests Bloody, some bits of flesh  flying as they drew their heads back.

Now that it appears the help is wanted, Lafisual fires arrows into the creature as he is able.

 Laf's arros   hit the  creature.. to be fair.. it was  hard not to hit the thing... it was  big and distracted and in pain...

  another    bird  fell to the ground and lay  still as the   swiping tail managed to hit as it  flew past.

In reply to Kree's unit (msg # 36):

Aiming again Gareth releases 2 more shafts.

19:28, Today: Gareth Greenbow rolled 18 using 1d20.  arrow 2.
19:28, Today: Gareth Greenbow rolled 11 using 1d20.  arrow 1.

"Wait little ones ". Orlin says approaching the deer.  "I have a salve that will help you heal."

 Once she saw the battle she slipped to the shadows trying to slink up behind the Creature, and if she can, when all others were done striking at the beast, she'd try to flank it and strike it from behind, in such a way as to disable or kill it.

 Kree  Nocked  an Arrow  and  Fired On shaft that bit   into the chest of the Creature.

 Gareth's  next two and varied success.. one grazed off   and into the trees.. the other   hit  lower in the  belly.

  Ivy was taking care with his aim, fired  another  shot as he tried to  move between the   , slowly escaping, stag.. his next shaft went in the right hip.

 The tail Thrashed  about,  Shadowmist received a  defected  whap as it  hit the  Ground... despite the  bit of   Pain she came up on the  creature's  right  side , Stabbing the beastie,  and causing  more damage   as  she withdrew  the Balck... The  Forest Runner  screamed out a loud  Cry, and then one of Rolf's arrow's slammed into its left side.

 As orlin approached the Stag.. it snorted, painfully.. and  tried to push the  frightend  calf  away...As it watch the bigger  humanoid come closer.

 Birds     slammed  into the  creature more often  now, one eye gone, the Forest Runner  wasn't going to  make it.. it was swaying, its   tail dragged  more then Flicked

Brie saw some of the birds falling to the ground during the struggle and if she could get to them safely and in time, she'd swoop one up and scurry away to put it a safe distance from harm.

She then returned to firing at the larger beast.

Now that is seems the creature won't make it, Lafisual gently moves toward the stag and casts cure wounds on it.

Lucy attacked from the rear of the creature as well.  She had quickly scaled a tree, and attacked the creature in a downward attack, landing on it's back and stabbing the creature repeatedly.

Diana notched and fired two arrows at the creature, joining in the attack a bit late.

Orlin had the salve in one hand.  There was a topical pain killer in it that took affect immediately, however it was little more than an antibiotic layer that protected the wound from infection.  The healing factor was there but only doubled the rate of healing that would take at least weeks.  It could help these deer much more than it would in battle.

Orlin calmly and gently crouched down and slowly reached out toward deer's injured shoulder.

 If/when the Creature goes down, she will offer it the coup de grace so it doesn't suffer needlessly. Once she is finished, she will go back to her pack and clean the scrape she received from the tail.

    Orlin and Laf ........  reach the  Stag.. It's  wide  round eyes  roll as it watches them, It tries to Put itself between  the calf and the Arrows.

   Laf's spell  heals some of the Cuts, they are not as  beep and the  blood  no  longer  flows. but  raw skin  and glistening flesh still show.

   As the larger, Orlin steps over   It seems to freeze..the Calf  Bleating  and Bleating, but the firbog  gently  fills the wounds  with the  salve... the creature  seems to relax as  its head turns from Orlin to  Laf..its eyes   no as wide...

   Diana's Arrow  fly... .the first goes off into the trees the second one  hits in the lower left of the Neck, more  blood   then the normal arrow  wounds pours.. The Forest Runner is staggering...

  Brie....  finds  two  wounded  Razorhawks and  carried  them off to the  side.. another 6..looks like they will never fly again, as they lay still and Broken.


 Lucy... is on the back of the creature  stabbing  Down.. much like a Razorhawks, the Blood  and bits of flesh   fly , the Birds    change attacks to  hack  at different areas  then hers.

Shadowmist...slashes  at the  right  flank again.. the  beast shutters  from the Attacks..its roars  are now of Pain, and not of Anger..

 Kree, Ivy and Rolf  all send  another  Arrow  each into the body of the Beast

 Gareth  adds  one last shaft as  well.

 The  Creature   shutters, Its head Lolling  from  side to side.. one last, loud roar and the thing  falls to the  Ground near the   the left side of the road..on its  right side... the  arrows snap off or are driven further in, on that side...The creature's head   slams to the  ground.. two as  Breaths  as its  ruined eye looks up, into the sky.

 Kree  has his Bow up , then slowly Lowers it... he calls out to his  Unit,Retrieve  what arrows you may...  Take a Claw or tooth, if you wish as something to wear...not many folks  kill a Forest Runner  , this large... not only,  will it gain you some respect...but , to the right Jeweler , or Potion salesman.. it could be worth a few Gold...

 The Elf  Approaches the Body, Pulling Out    his dirk.. he  Cuts  a plug of Flesh around the first of his arrows and  removes it, flicking the flesh off with the balc and checking the arrow head.

 Ivy  Says.....Kree.... Alpla!

 Kree  Turns and a Larger  Razorhawk, female by its coloring. is sitting On the body..with a chucnk Of Flesh in its  beak... her head crest is bloodied  by the  battle... It hops over jerking its Head to Kree... Kree holds out his right hand, it  Drops the flesh into his hand... it tilts  its head back and forth.

  Kree  drops  the arrow from his left hand and reaches into his belt pouch to Pull out an Ration and holds it out to the  Razorhawk..  the Bird  takes  the  ration  and  swallows it, Kree  takes the  Forest runner  flesh and eats it... It chirps a few times  and Flys  back to the body, as the  Unit  witnesses  the harvesting , being  done but the  birds...  a line. more or less is forming, going  from the   body, into the trees.. with  birds coming and going...

  The Alpha tears off larger  chunks then the   normal size   Razorhwaks, and flies it back to wards their nesting area....

 other alphas  come down..searching for wounded Hawks to take home.

 Ivy  Chuckles,..mmmmm...raw lizard..must taste great!

 ...Tastes like kissing a Lizard woman....only less  salty...

Kree  reaches  for his  leather  Canteen and  drinks making a face   . Then, goes back to  getting his arrow, he can only retrieve 2 ..then, Beings to Climb, the works on getting  a tooth..

  He turns back, and says,According to the teachings of Tra... you must Cut your own trophy ....

  Ivy is working on taking a Claw   from one of the three finger  arms

Lafisual, seeing that the stag appears to be in decent shape for now, moves around the the various wounded birds and casts healing on them as well.  Looking to Shadow he adds, I can look at that in a moment if needed.  Just let me tend to this first.

 by the time Laf  finished his part of dealing with the Stag, the   other Alphas have  taken the two wounded   Razorhawks into the air...

 all that was left  were 5 dead hawks on the ground, that they could, not counting  those  that made for a 'last snack' fro the creature as they fought.

  Shadowmist  was limping a bit, but nothing  nasty.

   Orlin goes over the stag checking all the injuries and looking for signs of bone or soft tissue damge that might be lasting.  If allowed he will also apply salve to the fawn.

Although Lucy isn't really one for taking "trophies", she does decide to take an ear.  She slices the body part off, before taking some water and washing the blood off of her clothing and weapons.

Brie wasn't concerned at the moment for getting the tooth or claw, though later she may regret it.  However, her current concern were for the injured birds.  She gathered up the ones that looked well enough she could heal.  The ones that looked could be taken care of by the other birds, she'd shoe them off in their direction.  The others, she pulled out a cloth and tucked them into it nicely.  For those at death's door, she said a silent blessing of peace for them.

Once she was done, she made a low sound for the nearest critter to come to her.  With the package of the razorhawk birds safely bundled up, she awaited for whatever creature heard her call to arrive.  She would send the injured birds back to Kree's village to be tended too.

  The Alpha's carry away  the wounded... in time, making trips back and  forth.. the razorhawks   slice and  grab chunks of   the lizard  and  take  them away... it is eerie  as they do it all in silence...

 Some Razorhawks   stand near Brie, tilting their heads as she bundles up  some of their Comrades.

.............

  Lucy manages  to  cut   the slice of reptile leather  wear the ear hole would be.
......................

  After Orlin and  Laf's aid..the Stag and its  calf..  move off into the trees.
