Combat Round 1
Luckily for the Red Dawn pirates and Jack, Evil rock seemed a little rattled by the sudden attack.
"I have no time to waste with a rat."
Evil rock started to rumble, lifting one hand to create a wall between her and the incoming bomb, although the explosion simply blew through it..and although Evil Rock didn't seem all too injured.. it was hard to judge the health-state of a rock, after all, her stone-snake-thing hissed and clearly, it had affected the two of them at least some.
Marnia realized she couldn't unleash her fists of fury.. she had to come closer first! So that was what she did, rushing to Evil Rock's side, using her monk-speed and readying her most dangerous punch! Evil rock lifted a hand, almost casually, but with the greatest of efforts, Marnia managed to push her strike through, gritting her teeth as the monks energy revibrated through her body.. and seemed to make her unable to move! (I don't see actually moving in on Evil rock in your prior post.)
"What.. is this... trickery.. grrr.." She growled.... only to be confronted with Lily, who brought a sword down on her.. This evil-rock was definitly tough as a rock however, just shaking off the strike with a hint of blood on her shoulder and sheer, smouldering anger.
Ylria seemed a little overwhelmed.. potentially from the blowjob she'd given Master Jack, and struggled to properly get into the action.
Evil rock shook off the stunning fist.. but it seemed that was all she'd do for now. Her snake-thing however disentangled itself from her side, and slithered up to Marnia, attempting to bite her.. only to be deflected, while Jack, a little belatedly commented:
"Good going lass, if that thing bites you, you'll turn to stone!"
Finally, it was Jack's time, as he rushed behing Evil rock, cutting off her escape route by first positioning himself.. and then drinking a potion, that seemed to enlarge him to double the size, perhaps making Jec all warm and fuzzy inside... so much of her master to go around, thanks to her magic.
"... an interesting little ambush you prepared here, bastard.. guess I wont be able to go nice on you and your whores.." Evil Rock snarled, finding herself more or less surrounded... still she didn't seem all too concerned, or even in the mood to surrender.. it seemed you'd have to pressure her a lot more, she had been a pirate captain of her own after all. Marnia was reminded of her fight with Siley.. and this one looked more physically tough than her...
(Thanksk to Jack you can now Flank Evil rock if you want to, but not her stoney-snake!
