Xarces takes a moment to survey the battle as he readies his next attack. The combined attack of the kitsune and skeleton would be seen making short work of the blackscale assaulting Nako. Another lizardman rushes from within the temple, lashing out at Synys, only to be cut down by....none other then Alizome. A wide smile spreads across the bards lips at the sight of the elven rogue, pleased to see that she had returned in one piece. "Nice of you to join us, Ali." he shouts out.<br/><br/>Things where certainly turning out well, as even the dazed monk would snap out of his damage induced stupor and deliver a series of punishing blows to the creature before him. (Musta knocked the sense back into him.) Xarces thinks to himself with a chuckle. "Keep it up everyone!" the bard calls out encouragingly to his allies. The mighty beast before him surrounded would swing wild at those it could reach. Making contact with vicious strike after vicious strike. Ending it's rampage as it's massive jaws part, lashing down at Xarces himself. The darkened maw opens to reveal the fleshy interior within,  spittle glistening in the torchlight, as Xarces' heart begins to race. He forcing his body into action, leaping to the side. Narrowly avoiding his head becoming lodged within it's jaws. and yet, he cannot move. The pain would come moments after, sharp teeth embedded into the flesh of his shoulder, as Xarces' glowing eyes meet those of the Dracotaur. One glance, is all it took to read his intentions, to see the hunger in his eyes. (Not happening!!!) Xarces thinks to himself, keeping his mouth closed as he pushes against the creatures massive head with his free hand. Time stands still for a moment, Xarces' mind rushing back to when he was trapped within the sea creature's massive jaws. The press of his hand turns into a gentle caress which travels the length of the dracotaur's snout. Running his heated, warm blooded touch clear down to rim of his lips, just under the brut'es nostrils. Xarces pulls his head in close only to whisper softly in Draconic<span style="font-style: italic"> "Savor this flavor....for it shall be the last thing you ever taste." </span>so soft and compassionate, one would think he was whispering good night to his own child.<br/><br/>A heavy beat of his heart sends the world moving at full speed once more, pushing hard against the snout, Xarces seeks to wriggle free.<br/><br/>Shaklik meanwhile would bark out in shock from behind him. Seeing Xarces locked within the dracotaur's jaws she hurriedly readies another volley of shots.<br/><br/><br/>[[Xarces: Free action: Maintain Bardic Performance.
