<span style="font-weight: bold">Upstairs Hallway</span><br/><br/>Exercising what is indisputably the better part of valor at this point, the cowgirl sprints away from Lamya like an army of demons was chasing her- adding insult to injury, given her state of undress and proportions, the hungry naga can see one of the meatier bits of her intended prey bouncing as she runs for safety. About halfway down the hallway, she skids to a halt, hurls herself into a doorway, and... is gone.<br/><br/>The minotaur is not so lucky. Though Felicity is able to brace herself for the worst of the horn's impact, she can't avoid the tip of it digging in. It can't quite dig through the pirate's tough hide and muscle to lacerate the tender organs underneath, but the impact is enough to knock her back on her feet and unbalance her just enough that Felicity's counterstrike can't quite get a solid grip on the minotaur's horns as he tries to stampede past her. At this point, the bovine is maddened enough with pain and rage to no longer be seriously trying to escape, but rather to punish those who'd thought to cage him; against that much anger, the frontal attack of Vormitraax is like trying to punch a castle wall that moves. Still pushing forward, he twists out of the half-dragon's way and answers his challenge with another deafening bellow.<br/><br/>The raw strength of the minotaur is incredible, trembling beneath Aiyaka and between the legs twined around him; she can feel every beat of the large man's heart as he thrashes his head back and forth, trying to shake the tick off as it clings to him and keeps poking him with a small, annoyingly sharp stinger. But his arms are taken up by the attempts to fight off Felicity and Vormitraax- a good thing too, as none of the three can feel sanguine about the prospect of having taken him on one on one instead of as part of a team. The minotaur has nothing left to keep Aiyaka's blade away, and she sinks it in underneath his shoulder blades. Almost instantly, Aiyaka can feel the spasm rack his body, almost chucking her off; staggering uneasily to one side, the minotaur tries to use the wall to scrape Aiyaka off of him, but so far gone is his strength that he instead just manages a limp backwards fall towards the wall and giving the kitsune plenty of time to hop off now that her poisoned blade is where it can best incapacitate her foe.<br/><br/>[[Felicity defense:<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/256317">Forceful Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span>.

Only having one thing left, he fills his SEVERE Consequence with something of Aiyaka's choosing. The next successful damage dealt will take him out, and if multiple people deal damage next round they'll get to work together to determine what happens to him.
