Playing in the Forest (IC locked)

(OOC:Yakoutio. These creatures are not that easily killed, please don't play out there death on a single hit mext time. Thanks)

Falling limp there numbers have been reduced to six as one of the large beasts nolonger seems to be a threat, as it lays on the ground unmoving, eyes closed and it has no visible strength for life as it's breathing slows to a stop.

The initial attack had only a minor success. And that would be having attacked Merciah unawares, well that and another, having been forgotten. The one that had leaped for Nessa nolonger had an opponent and caught the unexpecting smaller boy across his shoulder with its front left leg. Slashing his right shoulder with its dagger like claws.

The creatures in dealing with Rayd's counter attack show themselves as smarter then any would have expected for a predator of the forest. There attacks missing Rayd, one goes under and the other goes over. Had Rayd not been there, and been observing, he would have thought it a circus act. The third that might be seen as the alpha male, or perhaps it was just bidding its time to be nessaccary. They were prepared for a failure. As if they knew what would happen in case they weren't to succeed.

A few things were unexpected though. Nessa and Yakoutio becoming one, and the sudden new weapon that wasn't there before. That resulted in one less of there numbers, but also one less in their prey. And Rayd's sudden teleport.

Rayd succeeds in kicking the large beast. But it isn't that easily moved. Not to mention. Due to the nature of there attack, there is no other beast for it to be sent into.

All things to an end. Rayd learns with dismay. The circle isn't broken. The results of the attacks have landed all the creatures in an even tighter circle around the trio of students, now two students surrounded by four creatures, the numbers coming to a total with a limp body on the ground, and two fending off Merciah.

The boy that had been caught unawares Took a snap near his jaw. Only his speed allowed him to keep his head intact, as Merciah brought his open palm up impacting with the creatures throat, forcing it's mouth closed and instead of sharp teeth, the beasts nose impacted Merciah.

But the creature from the other side hadn't been so unlucky as to receive a hit to the throat. It's legs spread out, it tackles Merciah, the impact from the two creatures so feirce, from opposite sides, and one high the other low, suddenly disorients Merciah as he does two cartwheels in the air before hitting the ground just as suddenly.

The groups are seperated, but the numbers are still two to one. Sadly Rayd and Yakoutio/Nessa are still surrounded, now with an obstaacle on the ground near their feat to hamper there movements. Merciah with his own problems as he needs to get himself off the ground as quickly as possible, having the two creatures turn around to see his prone figure on the ground. There attacks leaving them on either side of the boy.

Quickly looking around, Merciah sees that there attacks were not intent on incapacitating their prey from the first attack, but what seems to have been a test to see what there prey could do. Having taken one casualty, they don't see it enough to let up. Suddenly as before. The howling begins again. The students fears that hides deepest in their hearts and souls is brought forth again. Even seperately for Nessa and Yakoutio, making it hard for either of them to concentrate on what they plan to do.

This time the pain is much more real. The howl last time nothing incomparison. It seems nearly incapacitating as the howl reaches a peak. Without even ending there is already movement. Before they had even let up this time, while the pain was still being sent forward the creatures have moved again. This time though half of the beasts attack.

From infront and to the left of the still surrounded Rayd and Yakoutio, they have moved. With the speed that untill now only Merciah had experienced when he thought he had them surprised by his speed. It seems as though they are moving with a practiced procession as the creatures move with the sound they make. Everything is sudden. The only thing they can predict about these predators is that there movements have nothing to foretell the exact moment they are going to be made.

The two from in front and to the left move towards Rayd, then just as suddenly as everything began, they go by him to attack Yakoutio there toothy maws wide and ready for there first bite, then just as they look as though they are to make contact, they are still standing where they began. Just as they two standing begin to make there counter attacks for what they where about to experience. That is noticed to late though. As the illusion seemed to real to not have happened.

The creatures from behind have moved though, after the moves that would have been successfull counters. Even still, Merciah is dealing with his seperately, having never been able to group with the others.

This is where I put more of my random thoughts. :)

Has everyone heard, there have been attacks in the forest. More and more students are showing up in Mrs Hanabishi's ward by the day. What's going on. It's the talk of the school.
