As the chain again flew at the bandit, the blessing of Vulkoor helped guide it true to slash his unworthy flesh, the stinger piercing and tearing past the rough leather.  The poacher's scout dropped his bow to deal with this new threat, drawing his sword to jab at Eshira and Ek'ann, keeping them at bay.  He managed to pierce the heavy chain armor that Ek'ann had taken as a trophy from a foreign knight.  While his partner tried to join the fray against Eshira, he skid off her leathers instead.  With the bandit distracted, Ek'ann chopped him down with his heavy blade, and as the hot blood seeped into the soil, Eshira could feel the pleasure Vulkoor at his life feeding the jungle.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Kaxxar and Xev'na were dealing with their own poachers.  One swung wildly in the ranger's direction, still trying to adjust to the near-darkness, but his partner managed a slash past Xev'na's shield to scrape her.  The young drow dropped his bow to stab the clumsy bandit, and Xev'na quickly stepped in to finish the job, running him through with her blade.<br/><br/>The drow circled in for the kill, while the poachers listened to their comrades gurgle out their lives at their feet, trapped in their tucked-in grotto.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Eshira attack 13 hit, 6 damage to Bandit 1<br/>Kaxxar (4 hp) shortsword 25, 8 damage to Bandit 2<br/>Poachers<br/>  Scout (12 hp, engaged with Eshira, Ek'ann) shortsword 18&amp;7, 4 damage to Ek'ann<br/>  Bandit 1 (5 hp, engaged with Eshira, Ek'ann) scimitar 12, miss Eshira<br/>  Bandit 2 (3 hp, engaged with Kaxxar, Xev'na) scimitar 1, miss Kaxxar<br/>  Bandit 3 (11 hp, engaged wtih Kaxxar, Xev'na) scimitar 22, 3 damage to Xev'na<br/>Xev'na (7 hp) shortsword 25, 7 damage to Bandit 2, dead<br/>Ek'ann (7 hp) longsword 17, 5 damage to Bandit 1, dead, Eshira heals 4 damage<br/><br/>Eshira and Ek'ann fighting Scout<br/>Kaxxar and Xev'na fighting Bandit 3<br/></div></div>
