Xarius scowls in Chira's direction as she defies his direction, deciding instead of freeing up their mage, to focus her efforts on the sole enemy within his immediate striking distance, thus extending the duration of the combat even further. "If I was incapable of dealing with him, perhaps, but chances are he wouldn't have even had a chance to attack Garth again..." Xarius bites his tongue, leaving his retort at that, where as his mind was filled with all manner of comments alluding to the incompetence of his temporary allies and how poorly they had performed in combat thus far. Chira being the only one capable of dispatching a lowly soldier, and even then she seemed to only be able to do so with her stomach effectively... Xarius truly was perplexed by how bad things had been going for them. Mona had gotten herself injured and pinned and all but eaten by a common soldier, and Garth was on the verge of toppling over after the briefest exchange in combat. Chira while doing the best of the three, still had the markings from the heavy damage she'd sustained in the previous little scuffle. So all in all, they were each having a very bad time on their own.<br/><br/>With the arrival of the two newcomers things where not looking any better for his unlucky allies. Xarius taking a moment to eye them each, is not particularly impressed by either the elf nor the lapine, though he wagers either are more than his allies would be able to handle on their own, especially injured as they all were. Were he properly equipped he wagered he'd have little trouble in taking out either, or even both of them at once. Geared as he was however.... it would be a drawn out battle. Thus Xarius decides it would be best to continue his efforts in untangling the others from the corner, they were in a sense his responsibility after all, and his best chance at freedom, to abandon any of them now would only lessen his chance of escape. Mona was a mage, and mages needed the support of martially trained individual's in battle to keep things like this from happening, this much Xarius understood, support she had not received from this lot. She'd at least attempted to rectify the situation herself, as apposed to Garth, who while Xarius did not want to abandon as he strides before the bunny girl, was acting quite reckless.  At least with everyone free, particularly Mona and her magic, they'd have numbers on their side and could make short work of the chatty newcomers.<br/><br/>Turning towards Delia Xarius sees her for the first time since leaving her side, he had to admit she looked good with a belly full of an actively squirming meal, and the catboy pauses for a moment to silently admire her. He does not dawdle for long however, as the bunny hopping forward catches his attention. Delia, take care of Garth, don't let him do anything reckless.  The two of you should fall back to us once you have the chance. I'm going to free up Mona and Chira, it shouldn't take long" He calls out to her. "As for you knew comers, I trust your wise enough to realize when your outnumbered and outmatched, Go back to enjoying yourselves while you've the chance. Once I'm done here, I won't be as forgiving."  With that Xarius places a hand upon his chest and channels the divine magics of his goddess flowing through his veins, healing himself entirely, as his skin, fur, and hair almost seem to glow vibrantly.<br/><br/>Fully restored Xarius was feeling better than he had in a long while, even after spending so much time in a cell, the effect of his healing had him feeling full of energy and life. Flicking his tail and lowering his ears, the neko hops over the cargo and debris blocking his path. Slipping in behind Chira, a position he'd been in once before while nestled into her cell, closing the distance with the soldier who was attempting to make a meal of Mona, Xarius plunges his blade right into the soldier's shoulder. " Now I know it's rude of me to butt in, but Mona's under my protection you see, and if your eating those under my protection, then your gonna have to answer to me. So how about you spit her out and go on your way.... unless you don't quite get my point, in which case..I assure you, you will after a few more jabs." Xarius comments pulling the pointed blade back, only to level it with the soldier once more. readying himself for a follow up attack.<br/><br/>Xarius<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;"><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/424509">self heals</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">3d6</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">14</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/424500">Stabby pokes</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+14</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">27</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/424501">stabby pokes dmg</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d6+4</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">8</span><br/><br/>should be 10 dmg total once you factor in succubus wiggles :3</div></div></div>
