[i]"Do you think it's pretending?"[/i] Brannor drew near, having looked over the lifeless heap impaled firmly through by the orc's mighty throw; the creature was certainly as dead as it looked and the man wished to pay it no more mind after being certain enough. He dwelled no more on the fiend or its companions, seeing as his own were content with the calm after the conflict. It was an ill thing to think longer on the darkness than one needed, breathing curses rather than blessings. All the same, the wild knight gave his thanks that he had the endurance to survive the would-be slaying arrow and the power drawn up from within to stay the spilling of his blood. [i]"It was only awake for some seconds anyway... I cannot really tell about these things. I've never even seen such a creature before today."[/i] "The Silver Lady has been more than kind on this night to us thus far," The man started as he ran a finger about the partially healed gash across the side of his throat, "So I hold hope that after tonight these beasts need not be seen again." The man's attention drifted from the seemingly unconscious kobold to Linan as she looked to the keep. Brannor followed with an exhale, acknowledging that was unlikely to be the truth and setting his great weapon back to its sheath for a moment. He thought, in depth for a moment of reflection, knowing he and the half-blood warrior could catch their breath if they took a rest, but there seemed nowhere truly that safe. An even greater blessing - than avoiding a deathly arrow's entire wrath - was that the great scaled figure stayed busy elsewhere, but how much longer could fate hold it out? Brannor dared not tempt it, for while he adored the prospect of fighting valiantly to the end against the darkness, he felt there was more yet to be done. "Toy with the scaled thing if you desire, but if you do we," His cloaked head nodded slightly to the barbarian's direction upon the roof, "Could use the breather to gather our strength." [hider=Effect] If the party is in agreement to take a short rest, Brannor will spend a Hit Die to recover some lost hit points. If so, Brannor recovers [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/471]4[/url] lost hit points. [/hider] [@Hekazu][@Lucius Cypher][@VKAllen][@Ryonara]
