GM POST
Seeing the Things charge, you all brace for the assault, weapons at the ready. As the first charges at Eabd, he whips his sword down in a familiar cleaving stroke. Although the blow carves a huge chunk from the Thing, it charges onwards, flying towards Eabd just as he brings his sword back in a second cut that ends the Thing with a flash.
As the second Thing charges at Eabd, Ranar steps forwards and brings his axe down to intercept. The trajectory of the axe barely slows at all as it destroys the Thing.
The charge of the third Thing towards Ranar is intercepted by de Courcy’s sword, carving a deep gash in its side. Although its charge continues into Ranar’s shield, the charge lands with no force.
The fourth thing Thing leaps at Ranar from the left, only be deflected by his shield as the dwarven warrior steps back into the doorway. Meanwhile, de Courcy’s sword snakes forwards again, cutting at the same Thing as before. Although the creature tries to duck beneath the blade, it once again bites home.
Narrowly avoiding crushing Jibril’s toes as he steps back to free his arm, Ranar brings his axe down once more. However, the blow is astray, carving through the air between the Thing and Eabd.
Eabd, however, has other concerns. Ripping his sword towards the other Thing, he cleaves it from shoulder to sternum. Nevertheless, it does not fall. To the left, Jibril turns his toe-saving scamper into a lunge over the top. However, the combined ballet proves slightly beyond his abilities, as his blow scythes over the head of his target.
The Thing turns towards de Courcy, claws raised to tear. In response, the Aralaise swordsman merely smothers its hands with is cloak, before bringing his rapier whipping around. Twisting desperately, the Thing avoids the blow.
However, in its twisting and turning, the Thing had turned its back to Ranar. A predatory grin on his face, the dwarf steps forwards and brings his axe down in a carefully placed blow, square in the middle of the Thing’s back. Once more, light fills the corridor.
Stepping forwards, Jibril again swings his Tulwar above Ranar’s head. As the tip of his blade crunches through the top of its spine, the last of the visible Things disintegrates into dust.
[PLAYER CUE: you have a possibly-momentary lack of Things. Wotcha doing? Staying in place or charging out into the main chamber? If charging, down towards the unexplored section?]
