Fellowship of the Dice

Claw and Maw has Theodrix down on the ground, "Ahhhh ahahhha ahahahahhahahahha!" He is in not condition to fight on, he let's his hand axe fall to the ground using his sword as a sort of shield against the bird thing. He reaches for a potion in his gear, "I'm bleeding out! Ahahaa ahaha ahahah!" The cool headed swashbuckler type persona is totally gone as he's nearly dead!

Determined to bring down the beast before it can claim the life of one of her newfound companions, Astraea calls upon the power of Ragathiel to empower her skill at arms as she deals another stroke.

"Wait with the potion. I'll be right there." Bertram stays ready to fend off attacks as he moves slightly to touch Theodrix. "Cayden Cailean! Send some spirits into this man! Help him!"

Theodrix staggers backwards, perhaps the first time in his life that he has been so close to death. His animal instincts kick in but he manages to keep most of his head, pulling out and quaffing a healing potion. Bertram likewise extends his hands and performs healing magic on Theodrix, together restoring him to fighting health.

Astraea invokes the name of Ragathiel, General of Vengeance, to smite her foe. She stands strong, cleaving deeply into the construct, severing more connective metal and digging into whatever mechanics and magics animate this thing. If the Griffon does not deal with her soon, there won't be anything left of it.


Aurelia and Mercutio ...

The enchantress looks a bit frustrated. This thing, whatever it is, doesn't seem to have a mind for her to affect! She can conjure up a ball of mud, but with all her allies surrounding the enemy, her chances of hitting are small. She can't even distract it with a carefully-calculate pose.

Pouting, the lass just raises her new crossbow, and fires! Then, she reloads.

Mercutio doesn't much like the situation, but that thing must go down soon, right?

Aurelia doesn't have the right magic to take on the Construct, so turns to more mundane means of harming the defective stuffed animal. A bolt thuds into its front paw, causing it to stumble in place.

Mercutio continues his inspirational performance, but also putting martial work into slaying their enemy at the same time. A man of many talents. His longsword unfortunately hits at an angle and shears off some hide rather than cleaving into it, but every bit helps.

The Griffon it being bitten on all sides by countless gnats, bits and pieces being taken off rather than one clear threat. But the Warpriest has proven herself the most deadly threat, so the beast turns to tear her apart as it did Theodrix. But it has taken far too much damage to be as deadly as it was just moments before. It manages to get a few teeth into her arm, but the imbedded bolt in its paw makes its swiping awkward, and it misses completely.

With Theodrix on his feet again, Bertram turns to the animal again. He raises his staff high and tries to end it with a strong overhead blow.

How long would this thing go down, this was the nasty sort of fighting that the rest of the family didn't drone on about in their grand speeches. Probably hid behind their soldiers and claimed victory afterwards.

Astraea grunts at the pain, but is not dissuaded!
