With Toffi just attacked by the monster and in a scuffle with Simon, Etharon closes his eyes then opening them again aiming carefully he sighed. "I can't shoot at Simon without the risk of hitting Toffi..." Aiming the pistol back he squeezed the trigger towards the crossbow wielding Scaven, not really caring whether he hit or not he turned back and searched desperately for an opportunity to finish Simon without damaging Toffi, "get away from Simon Toffi!!!"

Alkilai growled in annoyance as his punch was blocked once again, but he easily blocked the retaliation hit, knocking the fist away giving him a clear shot at the Scaven. However, hearing the faint click of a crossbow, Alkilai instinctively stepped to the side, evading an arrow from one of the other Scaven. Assured that it would take a while for the Scaven to take another shot at him, he turned his attention back to the Scaven, throwing yet another punch at it.

He was so confused, the situation was getting messier and messier by the minute. What was even happening?
The boy took his distance from Simon, and all the others to be exact for some safety reasons.

He didn't do a very good job at noticing the beast coming his way, but he'd notice it eventually and made an attempt on defending himself from it

@Simon- As Toffi gets slashed with the giant claw of the monster you awakened you have a second to splash sewer water on your burns and maintain your concentration. The beasts eyes glow and I focuses its attention back on Etharon, unfortunately as you swipe to grab your wand back Toffi darts away, bleeding heavily.

@Etharon- The one eyed Scaven you shot earlier has bleed out and is unconscious, on top of that your headshot to the crossbow Scaven lights it a blaze and it collapses DEAD! As you turn back to focus on Simon a giant crocodile claw swipes at you!

@Alkilai- Punching the Scaven hard in the chest the creature is not happy and leaps at you! It has a broken in rib cage and you suspect another successful blow will end this sewer rats life, then you can get to helping Etharon and Toffi out with Simon and the giant undead Croc!

@Toffi- You get slashed hard across the chest falling backwards Simon attempts to grab his wand from you but your are quick enough to jump to your feet and scoot backwards! The wand is safe with you for now and the giant monster seems to be focused on Etharon giving you a second to catch your breath... Your losing a lot of blood.

Etharon flies across the tunnel slamming against the brick, blood pouring out everywhere. The Lizarian looks at his hand, still grasping his blaster... "Finally got a clear *cough* shot..." Aiming at Simons burned up head Etharon squeezed the trigger as he slipped into unconciousness.

I groaned in pain as I dove for the sewer water, splashing it on my body. Was I mad? Of course, I was covered in disgustiobg freezing liquids, trapped in a sewer full of enemies. But I was also satisfied very much so with what I had accomplished so far. I noticed Alkalai was struggling with his battle with the Scaven, so I genuinely offered help to him.

Alkilai could feel the bones break in the Scaven's chest as his metallic fist collided with its chest, sending it staggering back. With it disoriented, Alkilai retook his stance, ready to finish the creature off with one final hit to its injured rib cage. The Scaven leaped at him, with a fierce and angry cry, but Alkilai effortlessly evaded the attack, and with a loud cry he threw a punch right at the creature's exposed chest.

There wasn't nuch for him to do on the battlefiled now, he was injured and would slow the group down By getting caught in the middle. The boy backed away and took a device from one of his pockets and sent a request for help- After that he tried to use his supplies to slow down the bleeding while he kept his eyes out for the enemies

@Simon- As you offer to help your croc roars loudly, turning to you as if wondering what to do next. It is more then obvious to Alkilai and Toffi that you are no ally... A blast of fire explodes behind you, a missed shot from Etharon but he is at least unconcious now. As Al finishes off the last Scaven you see him turn to you... What do you do?

@Etharon- Darkness embraces you, you see nothing, hear nothing, cold surrounds you as your unconcious body lays on the concrete, you then out of the darkness here a voice. "Why do you and your brothers fight E...?" It was Atlas's voice, "Simon may have been a bully but you were no good egg yourself... Your brothers may kill him but what will it really solve?" Silence echoes in your thoughts again... What are you thinking? DEATH SAVE 1!

@Alkilai- One final punch causes the brutish rats chest to cave in and the body crippled a small puddle of sewage near by. Turning to the rest of the group you see no other Scaven alive however Etharon is unconcious, Toffi is bleeding out, and Simon has summoned a giant croc to kill all of you! What do you do?

@Toffi- You wrap up your wounds and the bleeding stops, you see Etharon unconcious and know he doesn't have much time himself! However your Rifle is right next to you, and Simons want is in your bag. Do you deal with Simon knowing if he is killed or knocked out the croc will turn to rotting goop? Or do you get to your brother before it is too late??

I turned to Alkalai with a smile. "Nice shot!" I chuckled, giving him a high-five. I turned to the Croc, using signals and making eye contact as best as I could to tell him to stop attacking for now, offering him a Scaven corpse for a meal. I had done what I wanted to, practically killing them, and I knew I would have a hard time taking on Alkalai, as I sucked at combat. I really had no more intentions to hurt any of them... yet.

Not being able to trust Simon, Christofer wrinkled his face at the idea of the traitor chuckling. The situation wasn't in favour of their group, even if the Scaven would have been taken care of. Therre was still that one big... thing... Surely Simon wouldn't mind letting it feast on Etharon, that was quite the sure thing.
The boy would grab his bag and slowly make his way to the now unconscious lizarian, constantly keeping his eyes ay the Croc and Simon. If Simon would look back at him he should easily be able to tell that Toffi wanted him to get rid of the beast. But for now the boy made his way to Etharon, taking a hold of their clothes and began to pull the man towards the entrance they had come from

@Simon- Eye contact can't suggest anything to a savage beast of undead evil so as you complement Alkilai the giant zombie croc takes a swing at him! ((Or 2!))

@Etharon- Darkess becomes coldness, if Toffi doesn't begin to treat your wounds in his next post, you die.

@Al- Since we were waiting so long for ya the Croc has enough time to make two swings at you! Be careful!! EDIT: You dodge the first swipe but the second one slams you into a wall with a large slash upon your face! You have 1HP left, you can keep fighting or run, you begin to bleed out but your still conscious!

@Toffi- Etharon is pulled towards the mouth of the central tunnel, the fight is a few dozen feet away but if you don't make a Medicine check now ((adding your InT)) Etharon will die.

I really didn't mean for the croc to attack Alkalai. Just luck! Anyways, I looked at the croc and grinned encouragingly.
I turned to Toffi, making sure the Croc was watching.
"Toffi, you're doing a great job! Are you okay, though? Those savens were brutal!" I made sure to point at Toffi when I said you, making sure the Croc saw. I ran over to him, and plastered on a realistically-looking face of worry. "I'm sorry for being a jerk. The death of Atlas just really had me shaken up. Friends?" I hughe Toffi before he could react, using an iron grip to trap him there.

IF THE CROC APPROACHES TOFFI:
I shove Toffi into down at the feet of the croc.
IF THE CROC DOES NOT:
When Toffi tries to pull away, I refuse and begin to talk his ear off about Atlas, maybe even shedding a fake tear or two, in an attempt to keep him away. If he does end up slipping away from me I put on a fake show of breaking down about Atlas and if he continues I put on a show of feeling like no one will listen to me and Atlas was the only person who ever cared about mw. Basically, I pull out ALL the stops to stop Toffi from getting to Etharon. If he tries to go around me, I'll catch him by the hand and pull him back. If I absolutely HAVE to, I'll cast a ray of sickness spell upon him.

Confident on Al's strength, Christofer would give his attention to Etharon, trying to feel his pulse and check the wounds

"... Ron, are you ok..?" He'd try reaching out for Etharon, somehow, even if it was quite obvious the other one was already unconcious. The boy would try feeling for the heart beat of the lizarian while checking on what kind of first-aid he could provide. He was no medic though, so if he would somehow be able to bring the other one back awake, he'd still need to take him to a hospital.

Christofer wouldn't want to react to Simon in any way, he was done with the garbage already and would more rather just forget all about him. But when the other one started approaching him he couldn't help but to put on a disgusted expression and he'd throw a punch at the drow if they'd get close enough for it. But his main priority was to keep Etharon near him, ensuring that he wouldn't go cold and he'd share some body temperature with them.

Alkilai was relieved that the last of the Scaven was taken care of, but in the moment that he let his guard down the croc attacked him. He managed to just barely evade the first strike, but the second sent him flying into the cave wall, opening a large gash across his face.

"GAH, DAMN IT!!!" Alkilai cursed as he gritted his teeth to deal with the pain. He was still conscious, but he didn't have much fight left in him, he felt like he could throw one more good punch, maybe even two or three, but he figured that wouldn't be enough to down the hulking beast. There was only one other way...

He turned his attention to Simon, who was giving Toffi some bullshit excuse about his behavior the past two days, it pissed him off to no end, how dare he try to use their "father's" death as an excuse to do these horrible things, to the people Atlas specifically told them to cherish and protect, that was the last straw.

"SIMON!!" Alkilai roared as he dashed over to the Drow mage, putting all of his strength, anger, and grief into this last punch, hopefully if it landed it could knock Simon out, and with that the magic keeping the Croc alive would dissipate. He could only hope...

((I swear if it's a low number...))

@Simon- As Toffi drags Etharons body to the mouth of the tunnel there isn't room to get between them... However as you approach the man you feel a fist to the face and a secondary punch to the back of your neck! You drop, unconcious... ((I'll alert you when you awaken via PM, however you do Level up to Level 2!))

@Etharon- Toffi being kinda focused on the threat of Simon wasn't able to give you a whole lot of medical attention so your ultimate saving throw will be a 1D20+Toffi's roll which was 4. If I roll a 10+ you live, if I roll a 9 or bellow (after the +4) you actually do die. You may enter as a new character if you'd like however. GOOD LUCK! P.S. If you survive you level up to level 3!

@Alkilai- As your fist makes contact with the back of Simon's head/neck the Dark Elf drops, and from behind you you here a large splash as the giant Croc falls and decomposes rapidly until the body is a goopy mud adding more disgusting smells to the cavern. Falling to one knee you feel like if you don't get to a hospital soon you will bleed out yourself. You Level Up Twice to Level 4!

@Toffi- Finishing wrapping up Etharon you see the Croc fall since the spell wore off when Simon was knocked out. He is face down in the sewage and rotting goop, but Al is also looking pretty banged up, what do you do first! You also Level Up Twice to Level 4!

Christofer would be checking up on Etharon again, feeling him go cold made the boy feel great grief inside. He felt useless holding onto the now heavy body of the Lizarian. Upon looking around, Christofer wouldn't have all day to cry after Etharon, he'd have to check on Al too and get out of the cever.
Toffi would give Etharon one final good tight hug before advancing over to Alkilai

"Are you ok? Or like, which part needs attention the most?" He'd ask, concerned about the wounds

Is this open?
