Turn 9
In the Fearless Society, all the cowards continued to wait for the brave veterans to take care of business. But one old man, who had not spoken a word up to this point, suddenly aroused. "Huh? Why? Oh! Good. Here! Of course!" Before grabbing a robe and a staff from the armory. The old man walked through the portal, witnessed the battle, and stood motionless once again. Everybody else looked on in confusion. None of them were convinced to follow.
Attacks
adventurers:Saraket:
NCA: none
CA: Shoot left wing (4)
You fire another arrow at the same target, but you miss slightly. Your arrow is slightly outward of where you aimed, but you still hit the muscled part of the wind nonetheless. The dragon screams in agony, tries to take off again, but tumbled back to the ground. It gets its footing, and prepares to fight on the ground.
60 damage to left wing. Left wing is destroyed.Werther:
NCA: Yelp in pain while remaining hidden. (4)
You mimic the dragon's cry of pain, but your body produces an entirely new sound. It sounds like a suffering animal. The dragon is intregued by the sound, and investigates your rubble, moving his head close to your location.
You may attack the head with an adjacent attack next turn.CA: guard (3)
You crouch down under your rubble, prepared to leap out at a moments notice. Your small figure would also be quite difficult to hit should the enemy retaliate, but as of now, he doesn't see you.
Young Johnny:
NCA: Throw a bell out of the tower (1)
You unhinge one of the bells in preparation to toss it to the ground, but you underestimated how heavy the solid copper bell was. You struggle for a bit, before it clangs against the stone tower next to you. The Dragon looks at the tower, but doesn't see you. He shoots a quick jet of flame at your location to be sure.
Free Attack: Fire Breath (1-1=1)
However, the dragon didn't even hit the tower with his fire. He must not have had very long to practie aiming with it. The dragon looked disappointed at his bad aim, but then went back to looking for Werther. You are too far to retaliate.
CA: none
DragonNCA: Run to Sakaret (6)
the dragon shakes his wing, then runs over to Sakaret's cover. His head peeked over the building straight down at Saraket. This was rather foolish, as the dragon got an arrow straight to the face.
Free attack: Arrow shot to head (3)
The arrow strikes just to the side of the Dragon's snout, but the sharp angle and scales on the head meant the arrow skidded straight off.
The Dragon flinches as the arrow glances off of it's natural armor, then stops messing around and goes right up to Saraket.
CA: Stomp Saraket (3-1=2)
The Dragon rears its front-right leg up, and brings it down where Saraket was moments before, but through blind luck, Saraket dives in the only direction that would have saved him. The dragon carefully peels away his foot, and doesn't see Saraket. Naturally, he assumes that Saraket was dead, so he goes back to look for Werther.

Age: Unknown
Description: Sand elemental, wears a blindfold, has glass shards for hair
Backstory: If he has one, he's not sharing it
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: Boredom
Any additional information: I get the impression that it would be kinda hard to do any lasting damage to him, considering he is, well, a sandstorm in the shape of a person.
Also: nice to see the successor to Brittan! I'm thinking I'll get Respawn to show up after I die. He'll be confused…
Name: Werther (Level 2)

Age:Adult
Description:A dilophosaurus.
Backstory:Werther once belonged to a decadent count who purchased him as a hatchling from a group of adventurers who found his egg while slaying the Bird-Serpents of the South. Werther was eventually trained to entertain at parties by mauling prisoners to death on command for the guest's amusement.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society:Eventually, the count disapproved of his daughter's choice of a peasant suitor and fed him to Werther. The count's daughter ran away after that, and the count swiftly tired of the dinosaur's "act" when it reminded him of what he had lost. The dinosaur was then sold to the Fearless Society.

Age: 16 years old.
Description: A member of Dog-People race, belongs to nomadic Labrador sub-race/clan.
Backstory: Burklaif was born in the nomadic clan of Labrador. Like every other child in the clan, Burklaif was trained in art of archery and animal tracking since childhood, which he spent hunting caribous and elks. Eventually, he was able to hunt much dangerous prey, like lynx or polar bear.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: After turning 16 years old, Burklaif needed to complete initiation ritual to become true member of Labrador clan. He needs to kill dangerous rare, or magical creature in order to return to his clan. After 3 unsuccessful months of searching for the prey, he found a member of the Fearless Society. He offered him help with Burklaif's search in exchange for the permanent membership in the Fearless Society...
Any additional information: Since he belongs to literally anthropomorphic Labrador clan, I wish he got a small Cold Resistance.

Description: A dull-eyed, ungainly young man, bespeckled with crumbs which he is often seen picking from his grimy clothing and eating.
Backstory: For some, there comes a time in their life when they discover their their true passion, the one real meaning for their existence, all at once. For twenty-two-year-old Jhoferi, previously a total slacker with few skills and little-to-no motivation or drive, this passion was onion rings.
He vowed to himself to do whatever it took to ensure he always had plenty of crisply fried, evenly-battered onion rings.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: His nemesis (although Jhoferi is entirely unaware said person considers themselves a nemesis) convinced him there were onion rings a-plenty to be had by those brave souls employed by the Society. Just onion rings as far as the eye can see. Jhoferi is determined to do his duty and lay claim to the bloody onion rings of righteous victory.

Name: Eweler, the old
Class: mage
HP: 80/80
Exp: 0/75

Active Modifiers: none
loot: 0
Age: Appears really old
Description: A tall, white-haired and long-bearded man with well-tanned skin from the years.
Backstory: He's been training as a mage for a while. Well, a few hours, anyway. He's an expert at all things plant-based! Except for those things not related to carrots. He claims to be some sort of genius at growing things, but nobody's ever seen him do anything with plants. For that matter, nobody's ever heard him more than seven words in a sentence. He rarely ever talks. Probably because he's been a hermit for years.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: His carrot crop was destroyed, and so he was both bored and starving to death. To alleviate the above issues, he decided to go somewhere to die. Unluckily for you, he chose to join this society.
Any additional information: He seems to have really spindly limbs and worn-out knees, but he can move surprisingly quickly in his staff-aided hobble.

Any additional information: Is unknown if she has her parents permission to be here.

OOC notes
I decided not to make Abdul take fire damage when he didn't post. That would be somewhat unfair. But don't abuse that, or I will make it count.
