the raptors bolt forward and suddenly split! One goes after Nyarlathotep...
(Auto Fail)
...the other after Ohwell!
(4+5=9 Miss)
-1 = 8 Miss
Oh shit... Back away slowly fastly from the approaching menace, and dodge around the trees to distract it keep from getting clawed. If there's an opportunity to counterattack, take it, but focus primarily on evasive maneuvers. Hopefully all that agility training from running away from Bulk will pay off... and if not, well... there's no time to think about that now.
(2+4=6 Hit)
+1 = 7 (1=HEAD) punch
WHACK r1 with flail.
(2+4=6 Hit)
-0 +1 = 7 (2=TORSO) bash
Run at the raptor that's going after the injured guy and jump on it and start stabbing.
(1+6=7 Hit)
+1 -1 = 7 (TORSO) minor cuts on back
Dracula heavy bleeding: (5) Survive

The rain begins to clear up as suddenly as it began.
"They seem to be engaging in the south." Motion in the jungle can vaguely be made out, but the announcer struggles to dictate anything solid.
The small girl with cat-like ears is approached by her servant doctor, and presented with a delicate yellow flower.
"I've done some reading on giants. I believe these poppies were imported from England, and they may induce sleeping spells on giantfolk." Yellowgreen against all that yellow dotting the grassland, the physician's hand guides attention to the problem.
"There's really no telling when it will wear off, days, weeks, longer, there's no way to be sure. He doesn't seem to be in harms way, but you may ask permission of the warden to have your guards retrieve him."Faint raptor noises carry to the watchtower. The warden raises a flat hand to silence the crowd.
"They have begun engaging in flanking patterns."R1 {T Extreme Pain}, R2 {H Pain}

Between the dampened ferns and sweating tree trunks the gladiators stand close. The first raptor moves eagerly from side to side, trying to find a way around the formation to Dracula, but
can't find an opening to flank the team. The scarred raptor charges right at Ohwell. It misses a snap at the man's youthful face, the fowl stench of meat scraps in its' teeth lingers in the air. He whips back in and clobbers the raptor in the head to discover the leathery skin is tough on knuckles. The beast's surprise is vocalized by chittering
pain. Grindak whirls the heavy flail up to some speed, and yeets the meteor hammer at the raptor searching for Dracula. It bashes its' torso at a slipping angle, only causing a bark of mild
pain. Old man
Zultan Vastan takes the beast's momentary distress to grapple on its' back. He strikes repeatedly, but with all the thrashing the cuts are superficial and the raptor throws him off in a fit of
pain. Clenching the tare in its' arm, The Grand Vizier of Horripilation, Nyarlathotep von Dracula's blood is pooling. The first raptor and Dracula lock eyes, and the creature grins as it sees an
open path. The scarred raptor is looking for another snap.
