COMBAT TURN
Initiative Rolls:
Heroes: 1
Panther: 5
The panther effortlessly pounces onto the small cub, and bares its teeth to strike. Just as it is about to bite, Towa notices what is going on and shrieks bloody murder. [4] The cat leaps back, startled, and quickly assesses the new situation with the humans. It snatches the cub up in its jaws, and prepares to run. Odo snaps a quick throw, [6] sending the copper ore in an arc towards the cat's hostage! It hits the little bear in the back, causing Bran to freak out even more than he is currently. Yonzy and Duncan [5] quickly go into sync. Yonzy grabs a boulder, snaps an order to Duncan, and is soon flying at the cat. [3] He lands in an awkward place near the back of the cat, and nearly loses his grip. [5] However, he quickly starts slamming the boulder into the cat's back, and the creature is injured! The creature stops fleeing, and tries to shake Yonzy off. [1] Yonzy immediately loses his grip and gets flung down the passage full of mossy stones. [6] He grabs onto a random protruding vine to stop him from slipping all the way down, and it works. However, his arm hurts from the sudden snap. Duncan, meanwhile, flings himself into combat with the cat. To use its jaws, it drops Bran, who sits twitching on the ground. Duncan [1 v 6] charges into combat, and is instantly pounced upon by the cat. His sword pings off into the distance, and Bran feels the saliva dripping on his throat, and the heat of his enemy's breath. That was quick. He expected more valiant combat. He struggles [3 v 1] and manages to loosen the cat's grip enough to the point where he has one hand free, and places it on the cat's face, trying to force it away.
((Damn, Only Yonzy had some decent luck this turn. Odo, you tried, but YOU MONSTER YOU HIT BRAN!))
