Even the Centaur peeked up to look before glancing back down to Adriaan. "Oh no, we can't leave him laying here." She winked. "He's out of the fight. Better put him somewhere safe." She pats the side of her barrel-hammock belly, with remains firm against the slaps. Meanwhile, as the archers toss aside their weapons, Kay begins rushing forward towards the party's left flank. The scent of blood was everywhere, while the audiance chimed in as needed. Some singing along with Kay, while others were enjoying the bloodshed. Meanwhile a shining light of healing woo's some of the audience, before a womans cry lets the world know of her peril, as she goes down to Lensea's spear charge. A nearby warrior quickly turns and flees towards the commander, who seems dumbstruck.<br/><br/>Group A, muddling about and watching the action, begin to casually leave the arena. This spurs the Centaurs ears to flicker as she booms her voice once more. "<span style="color: #FF8000">What's this? Seems like a portion of the cavalry are breaking off, perhaps taking the long way around to pincer the enemy or maybe called to another battlefield...</span>". Closer, Nilla can make out some laughs from a few of the men as they leave - mocking the success of the remaining soldiers, teasing that they should've paid more for another volley. To the crowd, one of the soldiers breaks formation to rush at the horse rider. Trying to scramble up his side and causing a distraction as she professes her love for him. "What? Get off!" He complains. The remaining solder on the left flank doesn't notice one of her comrades has 'deserted' her and engages Linsea with her sword, deflecting away her spear thrust with a swift counter-attack which grazes her skin (2 damage, almost crit)<br/><br/>Two soldiers on the right however, are unsure if they both want to rush the Serpent while she had her jaws around the man drowning in his own blood and that hesitation likely lead to his death, but one of them draws her sword and moves the short distance between them to enagage - jabbing forward and finding purchase in Nilla's scales (5 damage); perhaps an attempt to save her friend. The archer, meanwhile plinks off her shaped armour; a glancing blow at best. The furthest warrior moves around the pillar and nooks an arrow, taking aim at Nilla and waiting to see the results of the other two before firing. Seeing her still up and mauling the other, she lets loose her own arrow, only to barely miss when she undoubtedly began to react to the incoming attacks. Without such a delay, it would've surely hit.<br/><br/>finally, the Commander pushes the woman aside and kicks his horse into action, though the charge falls through with the woman in the way and he has to regain control of his horse. Lifting his crossbow with one hand, he attempts to fire at Kay for being so impudent; only his crossbow misfires and the energy of the weapon backfires on itself, causing the mechanism to collapse in on itself and jettison metal upwards from the solid wooden stock, causing him to recoil.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(( Initiative: Kay, Lensea, Adriaan, Brelia, B, C, Irice, Nilla, Jon.<br/><br/>Notes: B1 KO'd, -3 AC on Nilla and Lensea from Charge+Song, Group A withdraws from the arena, B3 fails save and bumrushes C; trying to kiss him. Linsea charged to F9 and was unable to cleave as well, so B2 is still up and tries to fight back. B5 engages Nilla with a sword, B6 fires an arrow at Nilla, B7 moves to N10 for a better angle and fires at Nilla. C moved to K6 and rolled a 1 and his weapon 'exploded' ))<br/><br/>Up-to-date HP<br/>Kay AC 17, 7 HP<br/>Nilla: 8 HP<br/>Brelia: 11 HP<br/>Adriaan: -2 HP<br/>Jon: 14 HP<br/>Irice: 19 AC, 12 HP<br/>Lensea: 8 HP<br/><br/>Rolls:<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/633228">http://orokos.com/roll/633228</a>mWill save<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/633998">http://orokos.com/roll/633998</a>mGroup B attacks<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/633999">http://orokos.com/roll/633999</a>mCrit attempt fail<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/634000">http://orokos.com/roll/634000</a>mGroup B damages<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/634001">http://orokos.com/roll/634001</a>mB7 finally decides who to attack<br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/634003">http://orokos.com/roll/634003</a>mC attacks Kay ))
