Re: Faylin (Farren)
Abby flipped through the air, leaping from a rung on the ladder and landing with a splash in the water near by to the enraged tunneler. Smiling with sadistic intent, Abby whirled her barbed whip above her head and brought it down and across her body with a thunderous crack, drawing the creature's attention away from the annoying web caster. The creature roared again, but Abby just grinned maniacally before spinning and lashing one of the roping tendrils with her barb. Blood flowed quickly from a deep laceration at the tendril's base, causing a note of pain to enter the tunneler's roar.
Meanwhile Fay hoisted the mercifully light priestess onto her shoulders and then proceeded to climb the ladder with haste. The priestess was still conscious, and did her best not to cause any unbalancing for Faylin during the ascent.
Reaching the top of the ladder, Fay saw the tunneler rush at Abby and catch her against a wall of the sewer tunnel, slamming into it with great force. But then at the last moment, the acrobat leaped forward, daring to jump on top of the creature, above its open maw and just barely avoiding becoming an early lunch.
Faylin opens the grate above her and daylight hits her with full force. Hoisting herself up one last time, she and the priestess find themselves back on the side of the street in the Old City.
Looking down into the sewers to check on her mistress, Fay is pleased to see that Abby has not wasted her near escape attempt, running down the creature's back and dashing like a gazelle to the ladder, climbing it like a squirrel up a tree. The tunneler shakes away the daze of having crashed itself into the brick wall of the sewers and rounds on the figure climbing the ladder. With a roar of frustration it closes in, its roper tendrils flailing towards the acrobat. One of them whips around her ankle just as she's reaching the top and threatens to pull her back into the darkness below...
Instinctively, Faylin's hand shot out and grabbed Abby's, preventing her from falling back. The tunneler's momentum carries it into the ladder, smashing it from its bolts and ruining it, but Faylin grabs her mistress by the other arm and lifts her up to the surface, where Abby is able to grip onto the sewer grating and bring herself up beyond the tunneler's reach...
The three women lay exhausted on the streets above the sewer grate, free, for the moment of any immediate danger.
