As I attempt to fire right into the open mouth of the Murkal that dares to spit at me, I shout: "Zuko, there are more coming! Get rid of that one quickly and try to keep the others at a distance!"

P.S.: @JJJ7: Nice! Double kill!

Now you know who's the most badass of the group.

Oh, and the murkal: BOOM, HEADSHOT!
"Razuna! You seem to be in a bit of trouble! But, there's no time for talk!"

I'll run in front of Razuna and Bazyli and set up a Small Barrier to protect them. I'll also attack any Feralls who try to get past the barrier with my holy and righteous Longsword, and generally just try to keep the Feralls away from Razuna and Bazyli.

Turn 6-----Zuko + Kairy--------
author=Zuko
Try to avoid the acid and then charge at one of the Murkals with Reaver Slash!
1 too bad!

the acid consumes you and you die Due to the Murkals poor PERC the acid only manages to burn your knee! It's in quite some pain! You yelp and fall on the ground, failing to use reaver slash.

5 great!
The Murkal swells his throat yet again as the acid simply lands 5 feet away from you. You take aim and SPLURT get a bolt right through the swelled neck! It bursts and slightly erodes both the Murkals, as they are now injured!
However, Zuko has a burned knee with four Murkals ready to pounce!
Meanwhile, the river stops bubbling as three more Murkals surface!
Status:
Zuko: Burned Knee! You can do actions, but if anything touches the knee you're in for some trouble! Darkfire on cooldown, All skills available. Being swarmed by 4 Murkals!
Kairy: 2 birds, one stone! Unloaded crossbow- 8 bolts left. All skills available.
Murkals: 7 Left! 3 dead! four are readying to pounce on Zuko!


Wes + Bazyli + Razuna----------
4
Bazyli charges up and fires a moderately sized Buster Ball Blast! It smacks a Ferall and it gets blasted away. Wes quickly rushes towards Razuna, who picks up a ferall and holds one gladius in his hand. Two of the feralls charge at him, (4) but are interuppted by Wes' SMALL BARRIER! They smack into and are stunned!
The other three turn towards Bazyli! Wes is within reach, and Razuna is too far away. One of the feralls let out a Blood Call! The two Feralls are no longer stunned and the three feralls charge at Bazyli with a terrifying speed!
STATUS
Bazyli: Buster Ball Blast on Cooldown. Feralls charging at you!
Wes: Small Barrier on Cooldown. Inbetween Feralls and Bazyli!
Razuna: Two Feralls behind a barrier, 3 others charging Bazyli!
Feralls: Blood Call increases their speed and cures them of non-volatile status effects! 3 dead, 3 charge at Bazyli, 2 ready to attack Razuna!
What do!?
(SHIT I was hoping that Barrier would be big enough to protect both Razuna AND Bazyli. But then again it's a SMALL barrier so I should have expected this...)

I'll try to get in between Bazyli and the Feralls before they reach him (which maaaay not happen ;_;) and try to shield him from the Ferall's attacks. Bazyli if you're gonna use that Twirly Ball of Doom attack I would advise you do it now in case those Feralls reach you before I do. don't hit me with it please
"Wes, go save Bazyli, I'll take care of these two!"

I'll trow the corpse above the other two ferrals,
then I prepare some Power Strikes and attack one of the ferrals!


Where the hell is my raven!?
I was tempted to run so that Seriomem would have some funny material if I rolled a one, but if I clonk you in the head it'd be funny too so~

I'll do Twirly Ball of Doom attack but hopefully avoid hurting Wes.
"Ugh! You... bastards!"

Things weren't looking good for me. I was hurt, and surrounded by Murkals. Unless luck turned in my favor, I was done for. So I decided that there's was nothing to lose and attempted to do a last attack.

Try to charge at all of the Murkals I can with Reaver Slash!

I also start praying for it to work...

"Crap! Zuko! Get away from there!"
No use in trying to keep a distance any more. I run towards Zuko in an attempt to draw the Murkals' attention away from him, while using my Quickload ability to shoot at the Murkal that is closest to us.

Turn 7---------Wes + Razuna + Bazyli-----------
I'll do Twirly Ball of Doom attack but hopefully avoid hurting Wes.

6! You twirl your ball round and round!

I'll try to get in between Bazyli and the Feralls before they reach him (which maaaay not happen ;_;) and try to shield him from the Ferall's attacks.

4! You manage to block two of the Feralls! You slice at one with your longsword and kill it! However it's hide is now ruined due to your lack of DEX. The other ferall you block lunges at you at bites your leg! You armor prevents injury, but you've got a ferall gnawing on you!
The Ferall that ran by you gets SMACKED by the ball! It flies into Wes though! Who now has a Ferall knocked out ontop of him and one gnawing on his pail armor.

I'll trow the corpse above the other two ferrals,
then I prepare some Power Strikes and attack one of the ferrals!

2!
You throw the corpse above the feralls but your other gladius gets thrown with it!
You prepare your power strikes with your one gladius and charge at a Ferall (3) slicing it's and rending it with FORCE elemental damage! It's dead! The other Ferall Lunges at you (1) and bites your arm! The wimpy leather get's torn right through and your right arm is injured!

The SMALL BARRIER wears off.
Razuna: Injured Right Arm! Ferall Biting at you! Increased ATK and DEX! Power Strikes on Cooldown. Injury in your foot! You cannot run!
Wes: On the ground with a dead ferall on top and a ferall biting your leg! SMall barrier on cooldown.
Bazyli: Perfectly safe with BBB and Twirling Ball on cooldown.

Zuko + Kairy----------
Try to charge at all of the Murkals I can with Reaver Slash!
6!
I run towards Zuko in an attempt to draw the Murkals' attention away from him, while using my Quickload ability to shoot at the Murkal that is closest to us.
3!

Zuko brings himself to do a massive reaver slash against the now 7 Murkals surrounding him! He outright kills 4 of them and wards the other 3 back!
However, in his desperation, he cuts Kairy who was rushing towards him! The cut isn't the bad part, Kairy get's DEFILED by the sword!
Luckily she is still able to load her crossbow quickly w/Quickload and (6) shoots one of the three Murkals in the throat! However that one was swelling up to use acid spew, so the acid of that one spews everywhere, burning the other two murkals and interrupting them while burning Zuko on the arm and you on the chest!

Zuko: Burn on his knee and left arm! Reaver slash on cooldown, darkfire is no longer on cooldown! You defiled Kairy!
Kairy: You got defiled by Zuko! (Refer to the OP to know what this does)
Burned on your chest! Quickload on cooldown.
Murkals: 2 Left! Two are burned! They're readying their attack!
"KAIRY! Damn it!"

After I recovered myself, in that moment I just realized that I hurted Kairy. I avoided a fatal death, but I certainly wasn't proud for what I did. I looked with anger at the two remaining Murkals, they had to die, and they had to die now...

"That is it! I'm finishing you right NOW!"

I attack at the two Murkals before they attack Kairy! While I'm attacking, I keep a defensive stance, aiming to keep myself for suffering high damage.

"Argh!" I'm not sure whether to be angry at Zuko for cutting me or impressed by his incredibly effective slash. I do however recognize that I feel extremely strange and weak, and also that there is acid burning on my chest.
No use in reloading my crossbow now. I put it on the ground and grab a medium-sized stone, which I attempt to throw directly at one of the Murkals' head in order to prevent him from attacking.


P.S.: seiromem, I think it's awesome that we don't seem to have any kind of HP or the like. It makes recieving and dealing damage feel much more realistic and urgent.
(holy hell things are going bad for you two, Kairy and Zuko. T-try to make it back alive, okay?)

"Hmph! You think you can gnaw through this righteous armor of mine, Ferall? Think again!"

I throw the dead Ferall off of me and slash at the one currently gnawing on my armor. If I manage to kill the Ferall, I'll rush over to Razuna and help him fend off the Ferall attacking him.
I don't know if it's wiser to stay out of danger and let them deal or try to help but I know I'll be bringing my cannonball + chain down on the Ferall attached to Razuna!

This way if I mess up I'm not hurting Wes. Nah, Razuna is a lot more frail than Wes and he's already injured.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Wes!

I also second you NeverSilent, this combat is awesome!
Seiromem
I would have more makerscore If I did things.

Ah, but remember guys, your endurance is being tested....

Also, thanks!

And just think, you guys aren't even inside the tomb!
Quickly, I slice the neck of the ferall that's bitting me!

Not much to do here.

-------------Turn 7 Hour 3-------------

Zuko + Kairy--------------
I attack at the two Murkals before they attack Kairy! While I'm attacking, I keep a defensive stance, aiming to keep myself for suffering high damage.
4!
I put it on the ground and grab a medium-sized stone, which I attempt to throw directly at one of the Murkals' head
5!

You take you stance as to defend your left arm and knee! One Murkal leaps at you, but Kairy Thunks it on the head with a rock, stunning it! You easily chop it's damned head off and lunge into the second one, piercing it's chest! It sputters and spits but eventually slides off your sword and dies.
The river is calm. Nothing more attempts to murder the both of you.
You're surrounded by Dead Murkals.

STATUS: Zuko: Burned on your left arm and knee! Surrounded by dead Murkals. Reaver Slash on cooldown.
Kairy: You're defiled! Minor cut on your stomach, it's nothing major. You chest is burned! Quickload is on cooldown.

Wes + Bazyli + Razuna----------
I throw the dead Ferall off of me and slash at the one currently gnawing on my armor. If I manage to kill the Ferall, I'll rush over to Razuna and help him fend off the Ferall attacking him. 6!
I'll be bringing my cannonball + chain down on the Ferall attached to Razuna! 2!
Wes heaves the dead ferall off of him, and it smacks into Bazyli! He falls on the ground, unable to help Razuna! Wes then slices the ferall biting his leg, and it dies.
I slice the neck of the ferall that's bitting me! 4!
You slice it's neck, blood spills, and you're free from it's grasp.
Yup, not much.

The birds begin to chirp once more as Bazyli gets out from under the ferall.
You now have 8 dead feralls around you and are near a giant tree covered in grainy blue sap wish glass jars and scoops near.

STATUS: Razuna: Injury in your foot has healed, you can run again! Your right arm is badly torn and bleeding! Power Strikes on cooldown. Retrieved both gladius.
Wes: Your leggings look a little rigid. Small barrier on cooldown.
Bazyli: The wind was knocked outta you, but you're fine now.

CURRENT LOCATIONS:
"Damn, that was harder than I thought..."

Now looking at Wes.

"Could you fix these?"

I show my right arm to Wes.

After he heals me (IF he heals me), we should take the hides from the dead feralls and stuff.

Wait, where the fuck is my bird!?
"Dear me! Sorry about that, Bazyli! You're fine though, aren't you? Right, good.
Razuna! You aren't fine at all! Come here, let me tend to that wound on your arm!
Say, Bazyli, while I do this, could you collect some of that blue sap?"

I'll use Soothe Wounds on Razuna's arm to heal him.

(Edit: Ninja'd. But hey I was gonna do it anyway. Healing time!)
