Leander's first attacked dug deep into the immobilized beast's shoulder, yet was far from a killing blow, but his second strike went true for the creature's throat, snapping the collar off as it recoiled from the attack. Its life blood draining, the monster expired with a whining eagle's cry.<br/><br/>The Orc Paladin charged at the other hippogriff, bringing his mighty greatsword to bear. With one great thrust, he plunged the steel into the monster's chest and slew it. The creature crumpled backwards and died.<br/><br/>The priestess followed soon after, the whole trio of goblinoids assembled around their kill. The rogue had a cheery grin on his face besides the cleric. Up above, the clouds stirred...<br/><br/>Dexter watched the skies above, his eyes fixated on what would be his next target. A manticore flew close to an airship and then flew away when it saw the flying structure start to turn. The bolt came down, striking the monster.<br/><br/>In the open air 'balcony' of the Airship... Daldmeyer looked on with amusement as Algernon slipped from his arms. The badger jumped towards the railing and clung on, eyes fixated on the manticore.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the badger propelled itself off the edge! Falling fearlessly through the air, Algernon angled himself for the wounded Manticore. He landed right on his mark.<br/><br/>Dexter's target did not fall from the lightning or the injury his spell inflicted upon him, but by the jaws of a small yet fearsome little beast. Heedless of the spikes on the manticore's back, Algernon scrambled through to a fleshy spot and began to gnaw.<br/><br/>The monster did not expect that. It howled with pain and agony, careening out of control.<br/><br/>Up above, the mayor realized what had happened and his eyes widened. He shook the nearby commissioner's sleeve and pointed to the source of his alarm.<br/><br/>Sometime later, back on the streets of Old Town, the orc paladin had just removed his foe's collar when the announcer's voice was interrupted, "Th-This is the head of the commission speaking!" came Daldmeyer's voice, "The, uh, grand prize of this round has just been released into the playing field!"<br/><br/>"It is a... uh, badger! Without a collar- answers to Algernon. To the team that captures this animal alive and unharmed, a... uh.... value of 5000 gold!"<br/><br/>Leander, holding the hippogriff's collar, could see that the point reward for just one of the winged beasts was only 600 gold.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Electricity damage is further 1.5x since it cannot travel into the ground.<br/>Manticores amazingly makes the last two saves.<br/>Badger attacks and bites Manticore for 21 damage.<br/>Total Damage: 38</div></div>
