[u][h3]Cosh, Lyn’s hunt[/h3][/u]

The Cosh was unable to avoid the attack as he was  tossed from his original trajectory.  With a sickening crack, the beast was smacked into a nearby tree where the wind was knocked from him and his figure crumbled into a heavy at the base.  Crimson blood was running from his maw and pooling into the ground underneath, a harsh, breathy whimper edged into the air as he struggled to rise. Hot mist flowed out of his mouth while the jaw bottom hung down, gravity pulling it wider open than was natural. The lower jaw wiggled with his motions to stand upright to shake off the daze sensation from his head. 

Wide eyes glared  at the vampire as he finally managed to steady himself,  then tried to snarl. The sound whistled past and became a harsh, distorted rattle. The sword hadn’t managed to kill the Cosh but the blade had penetrated through the muscle and tendon tissue,  rendering the mouth one less threat she would need to worry about. As Keri turned,  she note the creature readying itself for another attack.  His breath heavy and wounded while more red dribbled down his chest and onto the ground where it stained the grey grass. 

Just when Keri finished tearing and tossing her blouse bottom at Althalus, the Cosh’s hind legs snapped forward. His body lifted from the ground in a lunge at the vampire intending to scratch her chest and spill more of her dusty blood.  

[u][h3]Ellys, Lyn’s hunt[/h3][/u]

The corpse of Elly squeezed tightly, her tail muscles constricted easily about the student’s legs and arms with frightening quickness. Her arms hung loosely at her side while she started to apply more pressure as Leith was close enough to see the undead, milky white eyes of the deceased. If Leith’s memory recalled from their mission months ago, he should be able to recall some of the corpse's’ eyes had the same dead image allowing him to conclude the Naga was already dead despite her shambling figure trying to crush him.  The Malice Naga drew her victim closer while she widened her jaw and erected her fangs to pierce his throat. 

Both to rip it out or inject her venom into his currently abused body. Suddenly, the sword which Leith had enlarge erupted through the Naga’s torso middle causing her to stop in mid-action as her jaws snapped inches from his face. Her soul long gone, she was unable to think about spitting itt and started to push her body against the protruding weapon that currently skewered her. Centimeter by centimeter her flesh bleed, dowsing her front in nothing but crimson coloring while arms tried to pull him closer to her fangs now extending. Pain from Leith’s screams didn’t faze her despite its loudness breaking into the air to all those around them. However, even in pain he would note the coil’s seemed to have lost some strength as his blade had grazed her spinal cord, not enough to stop her sadly. 

Suddenly, two arrows thumped into Ellys lower back from Sinys’ direction causing her coils to loosen. It should allow Leith to pull one of his arms free while the Naga’s head thrashed behind her as if seeking the source, her middle still stuck from rotating completely toward the blind elf and held her in place. Her skin stretched on the wound sides and pulled away from the spine, preventing her coils from constricting as rapidly as before.  Sinys’ third arrow had missed since the fresh corpse hadn’t reacted like a normal, living creature.
