Tales of the Hunt ((Open RP))

[Azunara]

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri growled angrily, ducking to try and avoid the bolt. It hit him in the left arm, and he gave a savage snarl. "I hate doing this, but I'll make an exception for you. You won't be able to tell anyone what you saw anyway!" Kozri focused, allowing his disguise to unravel. He shifted, growling and after a few seconds, a drake stood in his place. The dragon roared, and making sure not to crush his allies, charged Faron.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Dalaran Sewers

She rushed Faron, strangulating him as she got close, whispering in his ear, "You will pay for this mongrel." She saw what happened to Kozri through his dagger so she threw her axe to the side, prepared to take the wolf on bare handed. She had a feeling his lightning wouldn't feel too good against her plate armor.

She was caught off-guard as Kozri shifted into his dragon form, a hesitation that could be a fatal mistake.

[Lupis]

Faron, Dalaran

Faron's eyes widened, his ears pressing back against his head. Oh, fel. A dragon. He was fighting a bloody freaking DRAGON. He wasn't sure if the Old Ones had decided he was their toy or not, but apparently they really didn't like him. Killing his body and forcing him to stay a wolf, isolating him, pitting him against a dragon... And getting him strangled by an angry death knight. Great. Nothing else could go wrong. Well... He used her hesitation to his advantage, throwing his body weight to the side to force Indi in between him and the charging dragon at the last second.

[Azunara]

((Last one for the night. Azu has to sleep!))

Kozri
Dalaran

He was anger. He was hate. He was sheer rage and power and death itself. He was also really tired. He had little rest since healing Decay and giving his energy to Azu. He nearly crashed into Indi, flaring his wings desperately to brake and fall back, so as not to hurt her.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Dalaran Sewers

Indi stared in horror as Kozri came barreling full charge at her. In her blood haze, she managed to flatten herself along the filthy floor in an attempt to avoid his gaping maw and razor sharp claws. She attempted a backwards kick at the wolf's face.

[Lupis]

Faron, Dalaran

Faron was aching, but a backwards kick was fairly easy to avoid. He jumped back, and - painfully slowly - remembered his Lightning infused Silithid scales. Old trinkets of his that he had made back while he was only just learning his mastery, the scales were basically for use in the "OHSHI-" moments of life. He hadn't ever needed to use them much, but now was a special circumstance. He'd much rather use up one of the scales then get eaten by Lizard Breath. As Faron moved back from Indi and Kozri, Vallrok fumbled for them in a bag around his waist, finding one and throwing it towards the wolf, who caught it in his jaws. The light blue glow of the scale faded and Faron crackled with lightning again, if only a couple spell's worth. That was one out of four scales gone. He had a feeling the other three wouldn't last long. "Back off, lizard breath. I don't care about your kitty pet. I attack anyone who actively stalks me." Vallrok growled, though his expression didn't show the rage.

[Saturo]

Decay - Sewers

Decay had followed the group initially, but ahd taken another path down into the sewers, hoping to catch the enemy with surprise.

Saturo - Sewers

Saturo had been watching the battle with curiousity. Until now, that is. She drew her runesword, slamming it heavily into the ground. She began muttering a quick demonic spell, and a dark pentagram, seemingly written in blood, appeared around the blade.
"Karash zi nu karrka korz."
Reality itself seemed to twist, ripping, tearing, melting. A powerful Corruption began tearing at the enemies, and she launched off an Unstable Affliction at Kozridormu.
"Hehe... A dragon. You're lucky, Faron! I'm an expert at gutting these.", she said and drew the sword out of the ground, leaping at Kozri. "Start off with the wingclip."

She got tackled halfway there, however, a dark force ripping her back.

Decay - Dalaran

Was that? Could it be...?
The dark energy-tethers she had used to pull the gnome back had been VERY powerful, it seemed almost as if... There was a lot of necromantic energy surrounding the gnome.

She leapt into a combat-ready stance, preparing to chop into the gnome. She was still a bit shocked from the revealing that Kozri was a dragon. But, it all made sense. Just like it did with Indigosa... She was unsure how to react afterwards. Dragons don't tend to like dragonhunters much.

[Azunara]

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri recoiled, snarling in pain. Ow, ow, ow. Watching the fight, and through his pain, he managed to place Azu on the outskirts of the fight, hoping to keep her away. He didn't want to crush her, and he didn't want her to get caught in the gnome's spells. Shaking his head at the pain, he struggled through it, blasting the gnome. He gave a brief, relieved grin at Decay. It didn't look like the most optimal of situations.

[Saturo]

Saturo - Dalaran Sewers

Saturo flashed a grin at Decay. She recognized her. Anarial. The paladin she hunted with for a while.

Pathetic then, pathetic now. She parried a freezing blow easily, and leapt backwards, summoning up a shadowy barrier. She quickly wove together dark magic around Decay, locking her between dimensions temporarily. She ran towards the dragon again.

"Now where was I? Oh right... The wingclip."

She jumped up, ready to slash the poor dragon's wings into small straps of tissue.

Decay - Dalaran Sewers

Decay tried to run, but she couldn't. She was stuck. She watched with growing despair as the gnome ran towards Kozri. No. She wouldn't allow this. Not. Against. KOZRI!

A flash of golden light freed her, but she didn't have time to look around to find it's source. She knew deep inside herself anyway. She ran incredibly fast at the warlock, aided by the same mystical force. She slammed into her with a heavy tackle.

"You stay the HELL away from my friends!", she yelled with a heavy slash with a weapon.

[Azunara]

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri bared his teeth. As much as he wanted to help, Decay was in his line of fire. If he slashed at the gnome, he might hit her. Stupid gnomes. Why did they have to be such small targets? They weren't going to approve of him doing this, the Bronze, but he had to do something. He focused, trying to slow time down for the gnome.

[Saturo]

Decay and Saturo - Dalaran

As time seemed to slow down for the gnome, Decay lunged forward with even more savage strikes. The gnome, however, easily dodged the blows now that she was prepared, even with the slowed time.

"Faron, let's not bother with these pathetic creeps any more, shall we?", she said loudly and blasted Decay back with a wave of powerful dark energy.

[Azunara]

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri took this as an opportunity however, and lunged forth, slashing with his claws.

[Saturo]

Saturo - Dalaran

Saturo lunged forward as well, ready to slash at Kozri's wings.

Decay - Dalaran

"Koz! Don't fight her in dragonform! You don't stand a chance!", Decay yelled in panic as she lunged back towards the gnome.

[Azunara]

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri flared his wings, snarling as he raised a paw to take the blow. His scales deflected most of it, but he snarled in pain. He fell back a few paces, focusing on putting up his human disguise. The few seconds seemed forever, but finally the disguise took hold and he was back in his human form. Without thinking about it, he took one of his daggers and charged.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Indigosa--Dalaran Sewers

After Kozri had Azu moved away from the battle, Indi had whistled to Moon and crawled over to the injured night elf. She was no healer, never had been, but she wanted to DO something. The blood was raging inside her, and strangely, she had control. She hadn't charged her friends and she was making all the decisions--there was no little voice beckoning her for more.

She shook it off, focusing on what she could do for Azu. Moon covered them both in a defensive stance. She ran her hands gently in Azu's fur, trying to figure out what she could do to help. Out of desperation she began a prayer to the dragon aspects, to anybody really, rocking back and forth where she sat next to Azu, tears running down her face. She blamed herself for this. Indi tapped into the blood for healing as often as she could, draining herself of strength and energy.

At a hand gesture from Indi, Moon lowered herself to the ground. Indi rummaged around in a saddlebag for her healing salve coated bandages and began to dress Azu's wounds, her praying shifting into a healing chant she had learned long ago. She knew the words had no power coming from her, but they comforted her and held her steady at her task. She hoped Kozri could forgive her for this mess.

[Lupis]

Faron, Dalaran

Faron nodded. "Agreed. Cut Lizard Breath's arms off, that'll do well enough, then we can get on with it." The troll's voice said. Said troll was leaning against a wall, out of the battle. He wasn't feeling much better, but the scale had refreshed him slightly. He lowered his head, tail lashing, and gathered lightning, creating a bolt that shot towards Kozri's blades. "Lizard Breath, stop carrying around lightning rods." the troll taunted.

[Saturo]

Saturo and Decay - Dalaran Sewers

"Where's the fun in fighting a crippled opponent later? I say, we leave this rabble here and proceed with our plan.", the gnome said with an annoyed wave at the Decay who was charging up to her again.

Decay stormed straight into a dark barrier, which knocked her back heavily.

[Lupis]

Faron, Dalaran

"Good point," the troll's voice conceded. The troll lurched over to Saturo. "And the plan?"

[Saturo]

Saturo - Dalaran Sewers

"The plan? As always, explosives and gyrocopter."

[Lupis]

Faron, Dalaran

Faron snorted a laugh. The troll laughed darkly for a moment. "Sounds fun." Faron began edging towards Saturo. "Blast away."
