Siegfried puts himself out.

Scooting to the edge of the new hole, Bessail looks down, and his eyes widen in surprise. He slings a bolt of energy down at one of the whisp hounds, but as the energy impacts, the shadows bubble and boil, roiling around itself until finally the form resolves into a gangly, warty, oozing humanoid with a giant nose and whispy hair!

"Gah! What the hells is that!" Bessail assaults the thing mentally, driving it to attack the larger Shadow Hound, but it appears to be too confused after its transformation to land a solid blow.

Jayden, out of enemies for the moment, glanced down the hole and saw down the other hole and paused at the brink. Spilled blood, what is that? he thought. Something strange, roiling in shadows, a dog form. And a metal sludge.
Maybe it would be better to stay up here and let the others deal with it.
Then again, you only live once - and his new comrades would need to be unable to question his loyalty.
Jayden leaped into the hole, shouting to the others, "Follow me!"

MOVE: Jump down, acrobatics for a soft landing. Land in the water one square south of Whisp Hound 2.
STANDARD: Five Storms whisp hounds 2 and 3.
FREE: On a hit, Flurry of Blows whichever Whisp Hound has the most damage.

Jayden flips through the air, a blur of fur and motion as he tumbles twenty feet and lands with a splash. He immediately jumps up and whirls an arc of death before him, but the hounds are fast enough to avoid his slightly off-balance attacks.

[Impressive athletics... horrid attack rolls. You seem plagued by this...

Yatagan is up!]

Yatagan stares down into the hole, strange, thick ropes of lightning lazing about him as he concentrates full-boat on the ooze. Its shifting metal form begins visibly shrinking, the excess form seemingly vanishing.

[Ooze reduced to medium size

Alexei, missing his chance to bring the gnome to justice, turns and re-enters the house. Standing on the lip of the hole, he turns his will loose on the creatures.

Alexai's efforts prove fruitless - whatever these things are, they aren't THAT weak-willed.

[Ara is up!

I'm experimenting with the stuff in the lower left of the map - think I'll be adding that to future maps, as well. Seems like a fun visual way to track statuses.]

Ara looked to his electrically charge defender. "Yatagan, I'm trusting you to keep control of this thing!" With that Ara slid a special round into the caster at let off a shot at the biggest and scariest thing down there.

[Hooray! Oh, and it still takes half damage. That's a good Daily.]

Ara loads his shot and fires, the magics within the special payload begin to spark and swirl, arcing to Yatagan and the Shadowhound. The bullet itself flies wide, but the magics continue to pulse, and then suddenly rupture. Ara has never seen this before - the usually steady threads of energy that he sees from this particular shot turn to strange jagged shocks of scintilating lightning... as a spray of butterflies forms from the crackling air and surround Ara's head.

[7 damage to the shadowhound, it is bound to Yatagan. Ara currently grants CA, but also has cover (the swarm is blocking sight both ways)]

The ooze lashes out at both the trollthing and the shadowhound, connecting its mettalic appendage with the latter. A puff of shadow fades off as the thing reforms the wounded section.

[16 damage to the shadowhound]

The trollthing tries to continue hacking at the ooze, but its attack is about as effective as expected against something made of liquid iron.

The shadowhound fades out of sight, a little slower than a blink, escaping vision. Jayden can hear a shuffling next to him, and then howls in pain as a heavy paw slams into his thigh, breaking his planted shin.

[25 damage, bloodied! Rather! 5 damage to the Shadowhound for not being adjacent to Yatagan]

The other two hounds also disappear, the low light bending around them as they proceed to snap at Jayden's other leg. One connects, tearing into the femeral artery as blood begins coursing from the shifter. The pain and loss of blood are too much, and he falls, unconscious.

[17 damage, prone, unconscious, dying. Yikers.

Siegfried is up!]

Siegfried hears Jayden cries of battle suddenly stop. "Damn, dog soldier." he mumbles to himself. "Do we need to keep a leash on him?"



Siegfrieds feet step silently along the floor toward the hole. "Ara, duck!" The shout comes as his body drop through the floor becoming ceiling; a hand catches the wood work forward momentum taking care of the rest.

Siegfried's left foot plants off against the wall, stopping his motion and kicking plaster dust into the air. From the crouch he dropped into

Siegfried's right hand pulls a glint of metal from his left forearm his land lashing out toward Wisp Hound 3 "suka сука!" He calls it. The hound doesn't react to the name calling nor the impact of the blade; No one saw it sail through the air... because it didn't.

Instead the blade tumbles from his left forearm, bounces of the floor kicking up a bit more dust. It then slips between broken floor boards and falls, plinking with a clear metal on metal harmlessly off the not so gelatinous cube's metal skin.

Bessail closes his eyes, willing his senses to locate the whisp things, hoping that his unnatural sight will work better than his eyes. A smile breaks across his face as he keeps his eyes shut. "Found you."

A blast of energy flies out, managing to cut through the invisibility as peels of shadow break off and become visible before fading out entirely.

The second shot errupts in midair, exploding into a conflagration of purple flames. The mostly peter out, but the fires near where you think one of the hounds is turn a bright shade of pink and spiral back to Bessail, hovering before his face. His eyes expand in horror.

"By the Blood, we can't beat that!" He begins cowering where he stands, shaking like a newly-minted citizen at his first donation.
