As Boulder struggled with the lion, it raked out with its two claws, shredding along the mithril armor and missing the dwarf's skin by inches. Its bite however dug in deeper into his wrist, snapping bones and shredding skin, yet the dwarf hardly noticed. His world was one of red explosive rage. He was dimly aware of the combat going on around him, yet the only thing that mattered was the enemy in front of him, gnawing away on his arm as the dwarf pounded down on the beast twice more in an attempt to shatter its skull.

The Lion took the beating to the skull as the dwarf pounded armor lined fist past rotten flesh striaght into bone. Cracking could be heard as chips literally flew about the area. Dark ichor was misting with each strike now as th lion let out a pitiful half-growl. It seemed to be harmed.

As the dwarf was beating his foe in the face, the lion that had found a large snake for prey wasmn't giving an inch and was fighting tooth and claw to bleed dry the iving foe he faced. The claws relentlessly sough purcahse in the scales of the snake.

Asha was getting frustrated, the lion stared her down while she attempted to strike it hard again.

She chomped on it again this time focusing on coiling around the lion rather than a flurry of strikes. Asha wrapped up the lion with her full 15 ft. length and then squeezed.

Asha Damage: 1d6+5=7+2=9

Asha bit down and coiled around the slashing its claws at her, a sickening creaking sound coming from her compressing body as she wrappe around the creature.

The lion seeking Toka as a meal was struck between the shoulder and neck as the blade easily cut through flesh. It whimpered in pain and let out an odd sounding hiss. It moved to strike back when the beast was peltted by five arrows in quick succession. It let out a weak cry as a beam of hot hot light then struck it square in the back, casuing it to burst into flames.

A pair of rangers in cloaks, a swordsmen in Allaince armor and a cleric with the holy symbol of the Rodcent Nife were just beyond the battlefeild and it seemed they were joinning the fray.

Carter examined the battle field as they were fighting the undead lions. Boulder was proving to be more then a match for his lion and Asha was continuing to engage hers with tooth and tail. Toka and himself were still not able to put down their lion. He wondered if perhaps he should start to use his more deadly arrows that he owned. He thought against it as his allies were fighting these lions up close and he did not want to hurt anyone them with the arrows. His next arrows were drawn and ready to be unleashed when his target suddenly sprouted five new arrows and then bust into flames.

Carter whipped his head around in the direction that arrows had come from. There he could see two bowmen, a warrior wearing the allied armor and another man that seemed to be a spell caster. Looks like they had reinforcements. Carter wanted to know if these four had seen the other undead that were in this area but they were on the other side of the battle field. Good thing he had long range and a fast mount.

Taking his aim has he guided Beatrix with his knees he started shooting at the lion Asha was fighting with. For a normal person this would have been a difficult maneuver to pull off but Carter and Beatrix had been through years of battle together and she felt more like an extension of his will then an animal. With their old target down he figured that Toka could help Boulder like he said earlier. Three more arrows were loosed and nailing his target while he moved closer to the new additions to their undead fight.

"Hail and tanks for the support! Sorry for being short but we tracked these undead here but there are still ten unaccounted for. Have you run into any on your way here?"

ride check 40 the first roll Beatrix will double move (120 feet) toward the newcomers.

The lion being crushed by the snake was groaning in a mix of a roar and meow. Its vocal cords appered to be crushed as bone began to snap. Inbetween the the crushing body of the snake few three arrows that went deep into the flesh then exploded with a holy light that seemedot be burning the lion from the insdie out. It shook and tried to break free from the snake, but it was hopless. As the holy fire iside raged, the lion went limp.

Fist after fist were slowly crushing the skull inward as the dwarf pounded away into the lion he was facing. Its clas not seeming to do enough damage it istead began to shake its head aiming to tear deeper into the dwarf's wrist while a dark liquid began to rush from its gums. It appeared to be seeping into the wounds.

Tearing Damage: 10 (Fort save 20 to half)
Unknown black goo: Fort save if you please

[wezzyfish]

As Boulder's fist smashed into the lion's face again and again, he felt the skull crack and his target become softer. He did not worry about the lion attacking him, relying mainly on his armor to protect him, and instead brought his fist into the creature's head twice more, this time from a side angle. In his rage, he wasn't even quite aware of the others arriving, his attention being solely focused on the lion that was latched onto his arm.

With the dwarf's next few blows, the lion was still and fell to the ground. Brain matter covered his fist. The black goo ran into this wound and bublled, but otherwise seemed to be ineffective. The four gathered still had their gaurd up, but seemed open to conversation. "There was a group of a fifteen a mile south. We investigated a burning outpost, they layed an ambush took five of our group." He motioned to one of the archers, "Some are still wounded. Geoff can only heal so many, he is still a young cleric.." The swordsman patted him on the back, "But he saved many. Who are you and why are you on Karana's plains? The undead are starting their assult of these lands.."

The last two lions fell before the rest of his allies marking the end of the fight. Carter listened to the words that the new group saying. This was most disturbing news. These ambushes have been happening all over the place it seemed and their numbers would grow with each living being that they killed.

"I am Carter, the dwarf there is Boulder, the human is Toka and the snake is Asha. We each are here to take out certain targets. I have been taxed with killing Asher the Dark. There were rumors that he was here attacking healing tents. We have been looking for him ever since. We have run into a ambush a few hours back and managed to clear it out and then we ran into those three. I do not know if those undead you ran into are the same ones that were were following."

Carter turned to their healer and reached into his pack and pulled out a bundle of leaves. He unfolded the leaves and handed it over to the cleric.

"This sap will aid in binding wounds. It is not magic healing but the good old fashion natural ones works just as great. Now I was wondering if you could help me. I found a metal sphere inside a skeleton's head. It was the first undead that I have ever seen that was able to heal itself. It is not natural and I wanted to find out anything I could. If it is something that makes them stronger or does something else."

Carter used a stick to push the sphere out onto the ground so that the cleric could check it. He then looked around to make sure nothing else was going to creep up on them. (spot 20)

The cleric spoke up, his hood dropping a he took the leaves. “Thank you sir Carter, these will help stop some of the bleed on Elric.” His voice was high and his face, young. He may have been thirteen just a man in most human circles.

The Swordsman spoke up, “I am Ork of Highpass, we have been ordered to move to defend the Great Bridge east of here.” He paused, “ if Asher the Dark is who you seek to kill you are an ally of mine. Come with us to the bridge, we have ways of making it there quicker than most.”

Young Geoff looked at the metal sphere on the ground and immediately channeled positive energy into it. It responded by glowing red hot, one of the archers then fired an arrow into it as it let out a horrible hiss and turned to black ash. Ork spoke up again, “We call them harasser skeletons. They havn’t been seen on the east front yet. That orb in their projects negative energy that can kill most living things in a minute or so. It helps them rebind. You got to halt the orb and hit it for them to come down easy. Otherwise you can go through a whole quiver against them.”
