<span style="font-weight: bold">Lorelei, Nikki, Travian, Domlan, Hestruui, Qulan </span><br/><br/>Travian casts a single backwards glance at Lorelei when the stalactite falls through her cage, nearly impaleing her. The look of surprise and astonishment on his face was almost humorous - whether that surprise was brought on more by the actual falling of the stone missle, or the casualness with which Lorelei dismisses her brush with death, though, was unclear. Taking a deep breath, he nods to the elf when she takes the key and flick it towards Tiss - it was a good idea to get everyone in on this fight as quickly as possible. As it stood, they were still outnumbered - though the odds were getting better and better all the time.<br/><br/>The momentary lapse in attention is brought to a close when Domlan - roaring in rage - rushes the slender raccoon, not even bothering to bring his weapon to bare. No - the coon's slender physique and choice of weapon made one thing clear. He preferred ranged weapons. Take away that simple preference, and you take away the advantage as well. Travian attempts to knock another arrow, his speed matched second-for-second against Domlans...<br/><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;">Domlan attack roll - 1d20 (8) + 8, +2 (charge) = 18. Hit.</div></div></div><br/><br/>Unfortunantly, the canine appeared to be just a bit faster. Domlan collides, shoulder to stomach, with the smaller raccoon with the force of a comet, fully picking the Procyon up off of his feet and barreling him into the side of the cage that housed Lorelei.<br/><br/>"Oooomph!" Every ounce of air in his lungs is expelled under the force of the collision, leaving Travian wide-mouthed and gasping for air. Before the raccoon can even begin to regain his shaken wits, Domlan's strong arms grasp around his middle, pulling him into an enormous bearhug. The grip is tight, and the utter, crushing force is more than enough to keep the stunned raccoon from getting another good breath.<br/><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;">Domlan's grapple attempt - 1d20 (3) + 7 = 10.<br/>Travian's grapple attempt - 1d20 (4) + 3 = 7.<br/>Travian is grappled.</div></div></div><br/><br/>"G-gy...gyah!" Travian manages to whimper out, using up what little air remained in his lungs. The slender raccoon begins to squirm and fidget in the far-stronger grip of the larger male canine, but to no avail - for the moment, at least, Domlan had him cold-turkey.<br/><br/>Qulan and Hestruui both eye Lorelei as she practically saunters forwards, and whilst the elf still remained in her cage, there was something unsettling about the way she talked, the gleam in her eyes. The duo exchange glances, and - finally - Qulan begins to express much more interest in taking down Travian over the elf "...All yours, dear." She says sweetly, before leaping to Domlan's aid.<br/><br/>Hestruui finally just smirks - the lizard had always been a bit flighty. That left just her to deal with this elf. Not a difficult task. After all, without her spells...<br/><br/>Seemingly not even noticing that Lorelei's bracelet was no longer where it should be, Hestruui's smirk grows wider, and she calmly withdraws the strange-looking club from her side, slapping it into her palm as she approaches Lorelei's cage and throws open the door "Fine, elf. You asked for it, and you shall recieve."<br/><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;">Hestruui draws her weapon as a move action, and approaches Lorelei's cage/opens the door.</div></div></div><br/><br/>While Hestruui 'deals with the elf', Qulan practically leaps to Domlan's side - After all, there was a change to get a free meal out of this ordeal. And it had been quite some time.

The slightly sticky pad on the very tip adheres easily to his fur and flesh, and - with Domlan aiding in holding him still - She quickly begins to wrap her tongue around his neck, showing surprising control over the seemingly 5 foot long organ.<br/><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;">Travian Escape artist - 1d20 (13) + 10 = 23.<br/>Domlan grapple - 1d20 (14) + 8 +2 (Qulan)  = 24 <br/>Domlan and Qulan BARELY manage to maintain a hold.</div></div></div><br/><br/>Domlan growls under his breath, shooting the lizardess a dirty look - this was HIS snack. Not hers. Yet, a meal would just slow him down - and the fight was hardly won yet. Almost begrudginly, he holds the frantically squirming raccoon steady while Qulan gets a good hold.....<br/><br/>During an especially violent wriggle, Travian's foot catches the edge of Domlan's dagger - and the sharp, slender weapon tumbles from it's scabbard, landing with a dull *clink!* on the cavern floor.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(Part 4/4)
