The Qatu roared in pain as Gin’s blade sliced into his leg. Gin immediately yanked the blade back, nearly causing Sath’s knees to buckle under him. “A well placed hit, my Blueberry!” Dorlagar called out.

“Gin, I told you to RUN! Do as I SAY!” Sath snarled at her. Ignoring him, Gin ran at Dorlagar, swinging her blade madly. Dorlagar reached for her just as she swung, and her blade left a deep gash across the palm of his hand. The human balled up his fist and swung at her, catching her squarely in the back and knocking the breath out of her. She doubled over but Dorlagar yanked her back up by her arm, placing her between himself and Sath.

“Careful, Cat!” Dorlagar said. “Don’t want to hurt her, do you?”

“Let her go, Dorlagar,” Sath said, a low growl forming behind his words. “This is between you and me now.”

He took a step forward, but Dorlagar managed to position Gin so that any blow Sath dealt would hit her first. So it has to be, he thought. Forgive me, Gin... Sath balled the claw weapon and backhanded Gin out of Dorlagar’s grip. She flew across the ground and landed with a sickening crack on the ground. Sath ran at Dorlagar, cursing himself inwardly for not casting a pet as soon as the battle began and hoping that Gin was still breathing.

Hackort entered the area just in time to see Gin fly through the air. A low growl rumbled in the gnome’s chest as he ran at Sath and Dorlagar, his axe raised to strike. Gaelin was right behind him, keeping a close eye on the angry gnome. “Which one of you hit Ginny?” he demanded as he skidded to stop in between Sath and Dorlagar. “I want to know which one of you to take off my Do Not Kill List.”

Dorlagar beamed a smile at Hackort. “Your friend the Qatu can take the credit for that blow, but I’m afraid you’ll have to step back, gnome. Sathlir is mine.”

“Then I guess it will have to be you,” the gnome said, grinning at Dorlagar. “I had hoped it would be you. I really don’t like you.” Hackort charged at Dorlagar, bellowing with all the might his tiny lungs would afford. “This human needs killing, and we’re the ones to do it!”

“Wonder if my magic could take him alone,” Gaelin mused as Elysiam and Teeand nearly careened into the magician’s back. “Ah well, one way to find out!” Quickly the mage directed his magic at Dorlagar with ferocious speed.

“Well what am I doing just standing here?” Teeand chuckled, and then ran into the melee, taunting Dorlagar as he advanced.

Elysiam sat back at a safe distance, watching the fight. At the same time, she was scanning the immediate area for other combatants that might want to join the party…like that wyvern that was advancing on them from the south. “We’ve got one coming in from the south!” she shouted, but the others were a bit too far away to hear her.
