Regin, you told me to run with Diera's death so I ran for it...hope everything is okay.

Poor Tarn!

Can you get/drag Annû to safety?

Lalwende, did you want me to help Tarn out, at least to get him off the ship and help him to the shore? Or perhaps you had something else in mind?

If you'd like some help in my save, let me know. I'm going to urge all the baddies to flee that pernicious Elven ship and get away to the shore. (I do have an idea how I can get Tarn back to shore, even wounded as you are.)

Regin - that sounds good, I think he'll definitely need some help there! Being ripped apart by a bird of prey - what a horrible thing to happen.

I think the bird may have ripped off the top of his ear in its frenzy. I would have described the attack, but it would make more sense to kind of have him hanging over the railings, or tangled in the rigging, bleeding profusely and semi-conscious, and needing the help of Marreth and the Corsairs. Should be plenty to go on there.

Don't worry though, he'll bounce back...

By the way, for Arry and Pio - Cheers! I've enjoyed that!

If you want to write a post about the attack - go ahead.

I can just slot it in for you at the end of mine . . .

Lalwendë · 11-08-2004, 03:40 PM

Cheers, Pio! It would be good to round it all off, and it also leaves Regin with somewhere to go from to rescue Tarn.

Here's my post!

Post by Lalwende for Pio to post.

Lalwendë's post

As if the pain in his chest were not bad enough, a sudden searing pain gripped Tarn’s head and he couldn’t help but let out a loud groan. He put his hands up to the top of his head, to find his hair matted with fresh blood. Clumps of hair and skin fell away in his fingers. But what was the shrieking noise? He thought he was going mad, or that maybe he had died and was meeting some kind of dark devil. He opened his eyes and looked up, just in time to see the blur of wings and claws swooping down at him for another attack.

Putting his head down just in time, he attempted to cover it with his hands, to protect it from another attack. But this thing was relentless. It wanted to hurt him. Whatever he did to cover his head, it was determined.

He felt a surge of pain at the side of his head and fell sideways. Looking up, he saw a Merlin with a piece of his ear in its beak, and he almost fainted. Covering his eyes with one hand, he lashed out wildly with the other. He hit nothing but air, the bird was too swift for his confused, half-conscious flailing. Staggering to his feet, almost falling back down again, he lurched towards the side of the ship, blinded by madness and fear.

Ripped apart, with a broken nose and ribs, missing part of his ear and bleeding profusely, Tarn collapsed over the railing at the very edge of the deck. His arm caught in the rigging and prevented his half conscious body from falling into the icy waters. As he hung there, the ship tossed about on the waves and a plume of spray splashed his face, waking him from his nightmare. He opened his eyes and heard the voice of Marreth, urging the other men to escape.

I got the Corsairs and Tarn off the ship. I did leave an empty post for anyone who needs to finish up...
