Xaras watched as Arkon struggled through and managed to continue combat fairly quickly even after being subjected to a direct sonic attack. Granted Xaras didn't aim for destruction of a body part but to simply daze him in order to escape, this was still disappointing. Oh Great, Xaras thought, that didn't work out as planned I'll have to get real creative. Thankfully however the furred dragon withdrew which now made the odds substantially better, granted if he was able to distract Arkon long enough to escape. Before he could plan his next maneuver Arkon retorted the breath attack with his acid stream. At 60 feet it was still fairly manageable to dodge a direct hit from this as Xaras pushed off to the left side displacing himself from the stream while Eva performed a back flip to dodge. While direct contact with the intial attack was unsuccessful it was the indirect damage that scored on the emerald dragon. Black dragon acid was not instantaneous when dissolving which allowed it to splash when it hit the ground. Since Xaras did not jump a great distance globs of green ooze found it's way onto his right hind quarter, right abdominal, right fore arm, and Eva's boot. The searing pain shot through his right side but he knew he had to continue. If he winced even a bit Arkon would have his opening and he looked as if he were ready to pounce the two of them. Just as Xaras was preparing his counter, Arkon ceased his assault and just like that launched himself into the air. Both Xaras and the girl were saved by some unknown reason but Xaras was not about to argue. He turned his head to the side to see Eva's boot burning and the pain resounding from his own body reminded him of their need for first aid, "There was a river from the direction I came, quickly" Not as fast as he had been wounded Xaras dissappeared through the treeline.<br/><br/><br/>I'll ask you to reroll that d20, that way you won't run into that cast iron door.
