Aurangh's Deathbringer IC

He watches his new friend let out a battle scream and attack the stinky lizard "Fin Smash" he would say and strike at the stinky lizard

Finn not liking that stinky lizard might hurt his new friend would punch at the lizard again with his fist

Alena rises with Sluggin in her hands as two of the cultist try to stab her with their spears!

Saxifrage's flame lits the cave as it takes a cultist out of combat igniting his head and sending him into a screaming death throe!

Finn's fists finally connect with the creature, but do little damage through that thick skin. The Troglodyte disregards the warrior faced with the new threat of Alena and Saxifrage. It charges against the scarred woman wielding the flames!

Dhom bares her teeth and clicks her tongue, in quick succession. Her steel didn't bite; and the scarred one falters already. No good. She has fire, and fire is warm, a friend to sore members, and a menace against foes. Hissing a curse, she darts closer to the melee, levelling a rapid, upwards shooting jab against a cultist's bare neck, between the robes and that poor imitation of scaled skin.

GorGarath charged the creature in the uneven floor of the cave, missing wildly wide with the cursed sword that hissed the air with ominous death.
Dhom cut down one of the cultists with surprising ease, splatting its warm blood on the cavern walls: warm blood, these were no real reptiles.

The remaining tumbling cultists, still intoxicated by the fumes of their overlord, savagely attempted to pierce Alena, Finn and Dhom, leaving GorGarath and Saxifrage to their master.

Two of them thrust their spears at Alena

False skin. Dhom tells the cultists sarming her: a cold taunt as she wwaya how the snake sways, away from the piercing speartips. False blood. Dhom tells them, her own spear moving quick, with no flourish, to bite.

Being flanked, he knew there was no escape as his new friend made chase of the boss of these guys and then. He would wince in pain from the attack before he would try to punch at the closet guy with his fist.

[BelGareth]

GorGarath was beginning to get angry. His thrice damned blade was messing with him, he was sure!

'Blade, you best not be my downfall, you've had your fun, now let me have miiiiiiinnneeee!!!!'

He swung the magical blade at the beast with all his might, hoping the blade would listen to him.

Dhom kills yet another cultist, piercing a throat with the swift spear.

Finn wrestles one down to the floor stomping on his neck with a loud crack.

Elsewhere, the Troglodyte laughs at GorGaraths feebleness and turns around to smack the sword out his hands and then lunges to bite the cursed warrior's face.

Coil and uncoil. Spring forth. A snake surrounded with no way out is cornered. A cornered snake bites. Everyone knows that. Another thrust flies against another throat. These are mice. Dhom tells the Troglodyte, flashing out her tongue at the cultists, with disdain. Worthless little meals, running through the tunnels blind. Why's a Dweller care?

He stands having taken quite the beating, smiles and pulls his sword in tight. "Well Well well you giant Lizard Turd! I got a story for you! It all starts with your death!" he screams, as he slashes at the thing once again, praying to lady luck that something would go his way for once.

Claws tearing through muscle and bone, and then a bite that snaps GorGarath's neck.

[Metastachydium]

The speartip plunges deep into Dhom's abdomen with the wet sound of muscles being ripped and vessels torn open. She bends forward, with a long, drawn-out hiss, of anger, of pain. The Dweller doesn't have her attention anymore. This thing does, now. She reaches into the wound, and raises a blooded hand, up to her own face. She smells it, her tongue quivering in the dim light. Little mouse. she says, not bothering to touch her foe's spear and pull it free. She grabs her own. And she stabs.

With a menacing hiss, Dhom twists despite the pain, as though, indeed, frenzied by it, to lock the spear in her flesh, muscles flexing around the shaft. But that is not chief purpose, no. Pain drove her previous thrust astray; and Dhom would see if it will lead the next to taste blood, fast and true.

Dhom rips the spear from the cultist's hands and stabs him in the eye with the shattered shaft! But the scene is ominous, there's an opening to scape the monster and the one remaining cultist, inebriated by the toxins of the troglodyte.


Will Dhom flee and live to fight another day?

[Metastachydium]

Frenzy is still clawing at Dhom's mind, red and smelling of iron, as the blood of a beast. But Karnn Dhom is a survivor; and now she survived. None other did. The living hunt. The dead are eaten. Everyone knows this. And Karnn Dhom certainly does. Fighting on, for the honour of dead meat or just to test one's mettle against another is the proud game of the fool. Dhom is no fool.

With a low hiss, she turns… And runs. She knows the way out, and her form stiull twists and turns as she wishes it to twist and turn. She'll be out, untouched – she believes this much. All else is another day for another hunt.

[Auranghzeb]

The creature doesn't even bother chasing you as you drag your bleeding body out of the caves through the narrowest of tunnels. Panting, you make it to the exit with the sound of bestial screams of joy as a background, you know what those screams mean: the troglodyte feeding from the dead.


You move swiftly through the night not stopping despite the exhaustion gripping your body until you finally bent over a rock and collapse.

Dawn, red on the horizon, rouses you from a restless sleep. You slither through the wet land and wait for the darkness to come to move again.
