*********************************************************************************************<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Alura </span><br/><br/><br/>"Alura!" Meera and Anastasia call out almost in unison as the arrow pierces her side. It was a surprisingly painful blow, and whist not life-threatening, was not terribly pleasant either. Kneeling down, Meera takes a few seconds to admire the shaft and arrow head jutting from Alura's side, her ears flattened against the top of her head "Oh dear...looks bad, can you do anything Anastasia?"<br/><br/>The smaller fairy flutters up and over, eyeing the arrow with a worried expression "Y-yeah...it's barbed, though Try to heal it in there, and it's gonna just cause more damage when we have to pull it out. Can you break it, Meera?"<br/><br/>"I think so! Let's see...Hold still, okay Alura?" With a surprising amount of grace and strength, Meera grabs the head of the arrow and breaks it off, yanking the broken shaft back through the gash left in it's wake. Hardly had the shaft been pulled free before Anastasia was on it, her hands soothingly held over the wound. Whilst Alura cannot SEE it, she can all too easily feel the warming sensation emanating from beneath her younger sister's hands, following by a tingling sensation and the relief of pain - not completely, but dropping it from a dull roar to a soft throb.<br/><br/>((Alura is healed 7 points!))<br/><br/><br/><br/>Exhaling a relieved sigh, Meera frowns, eyeing the catgirl who'd shot Alura just as she's grabbed by Yumina "Shooting the fairy. Hmph. Oughta give her a piece of my mind....but um, I think Yumina has it covered. Let's get you ba--"<br/><br/>The sudden crash of undergrowth silences Meera, the trio looking up just in time to see the pig-girl come dashing from the undergrowth, her massive hammer wielded in both hands. It did not appear as though she had any great deal of forethought as far as 'who to attack', and seeing the smallest of the bunch pretty well grouped together, it clearly made a tempting target. In a wild charge, the pig-girl lumbers forward, hammer held high...<br/><br/>...And brings it down right towards Anastasia!<br/><br/>"Ahhhhh! Heeeelp!"<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">*Thunk!*</span><br/><br/><br/>The meaty sound of solid metal hitting flesh was audible even over the din of battle around them. Anastasia was not the largest or toughest, even by fairy standards, and the hammer head was every bit as large as her own. One solid blow was all it would really take...<br/><br/>...Thankfully, Meera had other plans. Anastasia's eyes open to the sight of Meera standing over her, the hammer solidly caught against her arms, which even now were red and swollen, clearly bruised but not yet broken. The catgirl staggers slightly, and just as the pig-girl rears back for another swing...wordlessly draws her arm back, and strikes the piggy right in her chest. The blow was surprisingly solid, and - even more surprising - hard enough to make the pig girl drop her hammer!<br/><br/>"Mmpf...bad piggie..." Meera murmured through gritted teeth, fists balled up at her side..<br/><br/><br/>((Meera takes 11 points of damage! Then uses Stunning Fist! It...actually worked! x3 So piggy is stunned and drops her weapon! And piggy takes 5 damage!))<br/><br/><br/><br/>Lilan felt her heart leap into her throat. Hadri...killed practically right beside her. The scorpion HAD to be dead, she doubted anything could survive that blast. The fairy, for all her innocent looks, was dangerous. There was no telling what else she might do with those two pistols of hers, either, and while the larger gun was out of the way, she didn't particularly care to toussle with the smaller versions.<br/><br/>That left just a couple of options. A quick slice across the back with her shortsword, maybe just enough to kill her, or at least put her out of commission...<br/><br/>...Or...<br/><br/>Lilian had never really considered herself a 'predator'. Neither elves nor humans were exactly know for their predatory sides, and she was a mixture of both - hardly the most ferocious thing to stalk the streets. Still, when the opportunity was THERE....she'd taken advantage of it. After all, very few people missed the drunken elf staggering home from the bar, or the exhausted barmaid who suddenly turned up missing...and she had to admit ,the sensations of being a predator, the thrill, the pleasure, was...something she'd craved more than once.<br/><br/>And here...<br/><br/>...Here was this cute fairy, her allies distracted, her own attention focused elsewhere. It was the perfect opportunity to slip in, snag a snack...and slink back out with none the wiser. Mm. She looked delicious too. The softness of her skin, the alluring curvature of her thighs and rump...why, even her clothing was practically a salad...so easy to digest, so delightful.<br/><br/>Who could pass up an opportunity like that?<br/><br/><br/>With her catgirl companion occupied with Rendra, and the smaller fairy hardly a threat....now was the time to strike!<br/><br/>Darting from cover, Lilan covered the short distance from her ambush spot to the fairy in a matter of seconds, her hand tightly clenched upon her short sword -- No. She didn't need that. Besides, why mess up the flavor of such soft, delectable looking skin by splitting it open? Besides, with the element of surprise giving her far more favorable odds, and the majority of her allies already tied up defending themselves...well, why not enjoy this one a little more thoroughly?<br/><br/>It's not until Alura feels a sharp pain in the small of her back, followed by a strange tingle that spread upwards along her arms, making them feel like jello, that she knew she'd been hit again. The pain was brief-lived and strange - clearly, it had not been a blade or anything else of the sort, more of a fist that just managed to hit a nasty cluster of nerves right at the base of her spine. She was not given too terribly long to think about it, though, before a pair of slender arms swept around her shoulders from behind, spinning her about to face the one who'd so ambushed her.<br/><br/>The sight was a surprising one - the one individual none had seen, a surprisingly pretty-looking human girl, barely an inch or two taller than Alura herself. No - Not human! Her ears were longer, pointed, and whilst not quite as long as a normal elf's ears, they were by no means the smaller, rounded ears of a human, either. In fact, all of her features were more slight, more delicate compared even to Makisa. A half-elf! Whilst not incredibly uncommon, seeing one this far to the east was far out of the ordinary. Her pretty, pinkish hair spilled across her shoulders in long, flowing waves, framing a beautiful face that even now sported soft, smiling lips. She was lightly armored, wearing only a pair of metalic shoulder-guards and a leather outfit that only covered the bare basics, which left oh-so-little to the imagination.<br/><br/>"Shame on you, shooting Hadri..." The half-elf didn't seem COMPLETELY shook up about the scorpions fate, it seemed "....Can't have a cute thing like you shooting guns at people. Sorry, sweetie - need to take you out of the picture." Leaning forwards, the half-elvish woman buried her nose into the crook of Alura's neck, inhaling the enticing scent of her body eagerly "Mmm...you smell delicious....please, don't put up too much of a fuss, mm? Just be a good girl and slide down nice and easy. My tummy will take good care of you. Come here, sweet thing..."<br/><br/>As much as she tried to fight it, Alura's arms simply refused to work, and with an almost leisurely yawn on behalf of her half-elven assailant, the fairy finds herself looking into the moist, bright-pink interior of the woman's mouth. Again, despite the direness of the situation, it was hard not to admire the softness of the half-elven woman's lips, the gentle sheen of saliva upon them that looked so utterly inviting, so welcoming. Just beyond, her tiny, cute, pink tongue curled eagerly, flicking out from between her lips to tuck beneath Alura's chin, ensuring her fairy dinner had a nice, unobstructed trip right down into the hungry recesses of her throat.<br/><br/>Even her teeth were cute, so harmless looking, blunted and human-like, glittering with an eager coating of saliva.<br/><br/>"Bon appetite.." she whispered softly, before with a gentle tug upon Alura's shoulders, the fairy finds her head slipping right between Lilan's lips, into the hot, moist interior of her mouth...<br/><br/><br/>((Alura takes 3 points of Subdual damage! Lilan chooses to forgo her extra sneak-attack damage to use 'Backbiter', getting a free grapple and vore attempt against Alura! The grapple was successful, the vore check was not! However, she has a bonus to vore against Alura for the next few rounds! Alura is currently grappled, and it's clear Lilan is trying to swallow her! ))<br/><br/><br/>**************************************************************************************************<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Cyria </span><br/><br/><br/>If the fight outside the farmhouse had been wild, this was utter carnage. All around her, her own teammates struggled against the superior forces of the bandits, and - at least for the moment - it looked to be a stalemate. However, with Johan potentially getting captured, and Alura ambushed by a half-elf, things had taken a downwards turn. Of course, it's not to say that her rather brilliant useage of Yumina's aggression had not helped out - the now-huge catgirl had taken up the attention of not only the tree'd feline woman, but her sibling as well. Meera was holding her own against the pig-girl just behind her (despite both having taken rather nasty blows), and Sasara was well on her way to taking the human man who'd been casting spells out of the fight, lightly with acidic certainty.<br/><br/>That still left Mikasa and Jutii. The human, clearly, was scared to even come near her after the rather 'graphic' description given by Johan. Jutii, on the other hand...<br/><br/><br/>A quick survey of the battlefield shows Cyria that her thoughts were correct - the lizardgirl, of whom none had intercepted....was heading right for her. Swooping beneath the swishing tail of Yumina, whom seems none the wiser of her presence, Jutii covered the distance between Cyria and herself in a few quick bounds, her short legs carrying her a surprising distance with each quick, almost bouncing step.<br/><br/>She was an odd looking one, her cheeks and arms covered in glistening green lizard-like scales, matching the patches that covered her inner and outer thighs and feet. Her tail, long and lithe-looking, was absolutely covered in the same scales, though even that could not mar her mostly human-like appearance. She was pretty, to be sure, with a slender frame and breasts that seemed both large and perky, no doubt the result of more than a few unfortunate individuals who'd found their way into her slender, attractive tummy.<br/><br/><br/>Though she held no weapons, she was clearly not entirely defenseless - the only question was, what was she capable of? Bounding to within about ten feet of Cyria, the clearly excited lizard-woman smiles a sharp-toothed smile, dropping into a half-crouch "Hah, there's so many jokes I could make about bugs and how they're lizard food. That'd take time, though. Can make all the jokes I want when you're digesting. So, let's play 'dodge the tongue' alright? I'll start!"<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">*Thwooop!</span><br/><br/>In the blink of an eye, faster than Cyria could even initially comprehend, the Lizardess' jaws open...and a long, sticky tongue darts out at her, smacking her square against her cheek. The sticky pad adheres almost instantly, and with a powerful yank, Cyria feels herself begin to be pulled forwards, right towards the lizardess' now-open jaws.<br/><br/>Unfortunantely for Jutii, though...her hold was not quite as firm as she'd thought. A backwards yank on Cyria's part, and she feels the sticky pad give way, slurping right back up into the lizard girl's mouth...and leaving her cheek absolutely soaked and dripping with saliva.<br/><br/>"...Eh...oops. Slipped. . Lemme try again, here..."<br/><br/>((Jutii stops 10 feet away from Cyria and uses her 'Sticky Tongue' to snag her! Her grapple check was pitiful, however, so Cyria pushed it off! Looks like she's getting ready to do it again...!))<br/><br/><br/>***************************************************************************************<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sasara</span><br/><br/><br/>The soil itself proves to be easy enough to move through, and what's more...though the bandits saw her disappear, the element of surprise was hers. Who was she going for? Was she capable of moving? None knew - and Sasara had already picked out her target. The robed man whom stood in off in the trees, well-protected by his pig-girl guardian. Or, at least, he had been...until she rushed forward to engage Meera.<br/><br/>It was in that moment that Sasara struck, erupting from the ground beneath the stunned man's feet, her lips enveloping his legs all the way up to his upper thighs in that single, first momentum-assisted swallow. A soft, fear-filled gasp of shock escapes his throat as his legs sink right into the dark, tight recesses of Sasara's throat in that single, eager swallow.<br/><br/>The man's flavor...was surprising. It had a very smokey undertone to it, like one who'd spent many, many days pouring over books by candlelight, but there was also the absolutely invigorating taste of youth, the taste of fresh-washed skin that made her mouth absolutely water in delight, the faint tingle of magical energies that enfused his body, making her tongue quiver in delight. Amusingly enough, he seemed to be quite clothesless beneath his robe, from bare feet all the way up to his equally as bare hips, and just like one peeling a banana, Sasara easily pulls his robe upwards as she goes, causing him to stumble over onto his side.<br/><br/>"Gaah! S-snake! RENDRA!! COME BACK! IT'S THE NAGA!" He cries out in mounting fear, digging his fingertips into the earth behind him in an effort to crawl away from the encroaching naga's eager lips and hungry, grasping throat.<br/><br/>((He attempts to escape, but...grapple is not his forte. x3 He fails, and miserably, remaining grappled by Sasara who can attempt to swallow him next round!))<br/><br/>"What ar-are...oohhh go-gods...what are you do...Mmm...ing...?!" He cries out in a mixture of panic and pleasure as Sasara's tongue finds it's way to his bare manhood, eagerly swiveling across the exposed flesh in a few quick licks. The faint, youthful flavor of the young man's body covers her tongue in an instant, so pleasant, so delightful, and with every lick, she can feel his body twitching in confused pleasure, feel his shaft slowly growing harder, despite the rather dangerous situation he now found himself in....<br/><br/><br/><br/>(((Makisa remains inactive this round, weighing her options. Odds are, she'll be joining the fray next round! ))<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Health </span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Makisa (Human girl)- HP 21/21, AC 16, Touch 14, CMD 16<br/><br/>Ruli (Rat girl) - HP 11/24, AC 13, Touch 12, CMD 14<br/><br/>Hadri (Scorpion girl) - HP -1035934683582/29, AC 17, Touch 11, CMD 17 (Extremely dead)<br/><br/>Rendra (Pig girl) - HP - 29/34, AC 15, Touch 11, CMD 16 (Stunned)<br/><br/>Ambril (Robed human male) - HP- 14/14, AC 14, Touch 14, CMD 14 (Grappled by Sasara)<br/><br/>Godra (Catboy) - HP - 25/25, AC 17, Touch 17 CMD 18<br/><br/>Teeka (Catgirl) - HP 29/29, AC 16, Touch 14 CMD 16 (Grappled by Yumina)<br/><br/>Drogjee (Half-orc girl) - HP 24/24, AC 17, Touch 11, CMD 16 (Grappling Johan)<br/><br/>Lilan (Half-elf girl) - HP 30/30, AC 16, Touch 13, CMD 15 (Grappling Alura)<br/><br/>Jutii (Lizardess) - HP 24/24, AC 15, touch 14, CMD 16<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>ALLIES<br/><br/>Meera - Female Neko "Sorta-Monk"<br/>HP - 22/33<br/>AC - 20<br/>CMD - 20<br/><br/><br/>Yumina - Female Feline fighter<br/>HP - 20/28<br/>AC - 19  (Enlarged, Grappling Teeka)<br/>CMD - 20</div></div></div>
