Re: Hope Beneath the Rubble (Tassadar) GMed by Hafnium
Rolls
The peasant seemed confused by her command at first, still not seeing the enemy that was about to fall upon them. But his stupefaction didn't last long, having been quickly wiped away when Selena went forth to meet the grabbers in combat. He said something to the brunette who had already crossed and the club wielder, but by then the noblewoman was already too engaged in the battle to make it out.
Four of the tentacled creatures rushed forward at the new prey entering the field, but Selena had become all too intimate with their style of attacking. She kept herself well away from any angle that would leave her exposed to the attacks of too many of their waving appendages at once, and instead baited out their swipes. She measured the opportunities presented to her, and on the first one to her liking she swung her blackened blade and severed three of an alien's tentacles.
Unfortunately, two of the invaders ignored the embattled fighter and went for the sobbing brunette, who was still on the ground and stunned by the sudden appearance of the six enemies. Before they could entangle the woman in their slimy grasp, however, the sword wielding peasant arrived. He quickly pulled the woman to her feet and literally pushed her toward the two at the grate, which quickly became one as the other club wielding human crawled into the sewers, with his foot. Though still shocked and distraught, the brunette's legs began to take her toward safety again after the peasant had rather roughly given her a start in that direction.
With the second brunette on the way to safety, the aliens turned their attention on him. He quickly mimicked Selena's own strategy, waiting out an opportunity in order to sever a few of the aliens' appendages, to some success as two tentacles flew off in an arc at his return swing. His plight was made easier as the club wielder who hadn't yet crossed came into the fray, catching one of the grabbers off guard and bashing it in the body with his club hard enough that it fell limply to the street. The remaining grabber was quick to react, its tentacles lashing painfully across the back of the club wielder as he was still recovering from the intensity of his swing.
But the noblewoman was too busy to offer help to the two. She danced out of the way of another barrage of tentacles, cleanly stabbed the target she had injured and apparently killed it, as its remaining tentacles stopped waving and it dropped to the ground as she withdrew, and when another grabber tried to capitalize on her vulnerability during her recovery, she paid it the same favor, giving her the second and third kills of the engagement. Meanwhile, the more calm of the two brunettes slipped into the sewers.
The sword wielding peasant sent the youth who had helped him dispatch one of the grabbers toward the grate, and then turned to face the other alien opponent that had ignored Selena. It was around this time that things stopped going well for the group, as while the peasant who had remained behind managed to sever most of the alien's tentacles, it retaliated with a painful blow against him. And, by what must have been bad luck, the aliens were joined by reinforcements in the form of a patrol group of three bigger versions of the tentacled creatures, and yet another that was even taller than that. This all transpired even as the shaken brunette who had been responsible for the battle squeezed into the sewers, leaving only the injured youth, the ragged peasant, and the noblewoman as the last ones on the street.
The new alien arrivals were traveling from the same direction as the first six had been, meaning that Selena had an escape route toward the sewer. The club wielding peasant was near the grate, which had been removed earlier and set beside the hole it had been covering, and the other peasant wasn't far behind her, fighting a severely injured alien. Though there were certainly other options available to the noblewoman, she would need to somehow buy more time if they were all going to make it out alive, and even then there were no guarantees for any of them.
