(057) Dawn Patrol

[Tonneau]

Gustave, dismayed at the spray of (his own) gut contents on his formerly shining armour, attempts to stagger to his feet, so as to at least manage a defence.

[doctorx]

"And stay down there!" Josiane snaps at her opponent as it topples off the walk way with a yelp and a crunch.

Keeping half-an-eye behind her in case the horrid thing decides to be disobedient, she advances on the fiend fighting Wen and Desmond/Mondes, channelling the power of The Righteous Evangelist into her sword, and ideally that of Wen as well...

[Eris]

Olaf is clearly confused!

Ooc I know I am.

At this point, Olaf is going to follow Dieter's lead.

[mushgnome]

Seeing how easily the tar demon's gaze weapon can disintegrate solid rock, Highbough realizes the foe is beyond him. He will escape as quickly as possible beyond the wall to the orchard, using his blink ability if necessary. He tries to get into the treetops where he'll have a view of the wall, but the tar monster's line of sight is broken by foliage.

"This is pointless!" Dieter raises his head and his voice: "Fall back! Outside the wall! Move!"

He shoves Olaf toward his rope and grappling hook.

"Go, I'll try to distract it."

Dieter waves his shiny silver sword, trying to reflect some light onto the tar beast.

"Hey! Stinky! Shine your little light over here!"

OOC: Dieter is totally ready to duck/leap away at the slightest provocation. He just wants to give his comrades a chance to get away...

[ehiker133]

Hearing Dieter's words, Desmond tries to adjust his position around the other side of the werebeast, so his back is towards the outer wall.

Then he turns and jumps, hoping at least for a tree to land in and/or break his fall. If not, then the ground works just as well.

Olaf, follows, Dieter's lead and goes back over the wall, grumbling all the way.

[sully]

Dorgan continues to fight the werewolf in front of him, but starts yelling to Gustave as he does so.

"Hey, Gov! Get your shiny tin butt back up here! New plan!"

[Olroda]

Beringar is locked in deadly combat with one of the beasts, and he is losing. Unlikely to be able to retreat, and within an inch of his life, he tries something desperate. While gripping his shield tightly, he attempts to push the monstrosity back off the wall and into the courtyard below. ...he backs up towards Dorgan, fighting defensively along the way. A tight formation might at least buy the Company the chance of a fighting withdrawal. Beringar knows firsthand what is likely to happen when one side is routed, and it is never pretty.

[flightcommander]

Armando loops his rope around a rooftop protrusion of some sort, and begins to repel back over the wall. Before he goes he casts a glance at the body of the werewolf he finished off ...
