Re: Chance Meetings
The sergeant snarls at the loss of two of the troopers and, displaying the cruelty for which the Emerald Claw is known, looses a bolt at the most vulnerable member of the adventuring party: Frug. Successful at this, he barks a laugh, then moves to a column of his own as he reloads.
The undead canine needs no orders or encouragement to attack the one who attacked it. With surprising speed, it dashes toward Tuur, barrelling into him, jaws wide, and slightly disjointed. The jaws clamp shut, and Tuur is dragged down to the stone floor. He feels the numbness of irrevocable death seep into his body. The zombie throws back its head as if to howl, but only a gurgling wheeze comes out.
Meanwhile, the two knights, not to be outdone by mere footsoldiers, try a pincer move of their own. The first, a stout fellow who probably saw some action during the Last War, charges Froodle, flail blurring as it spins. Froodle gets his shield up, though, and the weapon glances off it.
That move, however unsuccessful, has set up the other knight, who seems rather gruff, to flank Sietnyas with his charge. He has a terrible leer on his face as he does so, as if he's deeply enjoying this. All in all, the injured Sietnyas finds his attack options somewhat constrained.
Drake has finally gotten his impressively armored bulk underway. What will he do?
