"Whats it matter, if we find whoever it is I'll just crush his skull if he turns out to want us dead." Njord said as he took the right turn

As the party advances and took a right, the walls slammed shut behind him the last member. To their right, they heart a snorting and a scrapping of hooves.

Njord and the others turned to face a young Minotaur.

Njord took up a fighting stance and waited for the beast to make it's move.

Sisk rushed to the front of the group, taking position next to Njord. He crouched low and extended his spear out; bracing it firmly against himself and the stone floor. Grimacing, he faced the beast and prepared to stop the minotaur's charge.

Dun dun dun dun, dundundudndundunDADUN!

Alright, here's how this will be going down.

You can go ahead and post what you do in your turn, I'll sort out how it happens in order and then put it all into one "Combat Post."

Yeah, taken from Final Fantasy but hey, they know their stuff. The line-up can change as he has a chance to rush and after he is in close quarters he will be getting more moves.

Player A's Turn, fanklok

Player B's Turn, Captainguy24

Player C's Turn, CourtingDisaster

Immature Minotaur

Player D's Turn, zjpicks

Player E's Turn, Earth Bound

You can "give" your turn to another player, but the line-up will largely depend on A) how nimble you are and B) how close you are to the action.

Moving does not constitute a turn.

If you dislike this, would like additions/clarifications/complete changes, feel free to contact me either through PM's or via OOC.

The Immature Minotaur scrapes it's hooves on the ground, and lowers it's head. It's still small for a Minotaur, roughly Njord's height. In it's right arm it bares a one-sided axe made from crude iron.

Bildin realizes that Minotaur's, creatures largely employed as guards, are generally given their weapons by their master/employer or the weapon is stolen. As this Minotaur seems to young to be on it's own without a master, it's likely whoever supplied that axe also built these tunnels.

The Minotaur strikes it's foot on the ground, preparing to attack.

Njord took the flask from his side and took a semi-long drink of his ale then, he rushed the minotaur and grabbed it's horns trying to wrestle it to the ground.

"Alright elf here's a chance to give it a good one, once I take it to the ground put that knife to good use." He shouted to Miffy.

" Alright, looks like he could use a shave."

After Njord began to wrestle with the minotaur, Miffy moved around to it's back to begin attacking it with his Dagger.

Mordereth, could you please supply a description of were we are fighting? Like the width and height of the tunnel, along with any other things our characters should already know.

The passage way is a bit wider and taller than those before it. It is wide enough for three men to walk abreast, and the ceiling is perhaps a foot and a half higher, give or take the half.

Njord grabbed the Minotaur's horns, and attempted to wrest it to the ground. It, however, feeling challenged for dominance in some animal way, began thrashing it's head up and down. Miffy takes advantage of his ally preoccupying the beast, and moves in behind for some blows with his dagger. He manages to stab it thrice, it calling out in pain.

Sisk still has a combat move before the Immature Minotaur will retaliate.

The other players yet to attack can still position their characters or ready spells/attacks.

Minotaur: 45/50 HP

Hope that detail was what you were looking for.

Bildin glances at the hulking beast. Njord was still struggling with it, and Miffy had stepped back after striking it. Hoping that the man would hear him, Bildin shouts, "Get back, Njord," as he summons magical power from inside himself. He glances at the wall. It is smoothed and shining, but Bildin can feel the earth behind it. Tons of it. He just hoped that he wouldn't overdo it or collapse the tunnel. "Yeeeaaargh," he screamed as he willed the wall to collapse on the minotaur.

I cast "raise earth" on the wall next to the minotaur in an attempt to collapse it on him.

Okay, almost said what happens when you do that! But as I suspected Courting Disaster needs to move. If he hasn't by the next time I'm on we'll just swap your turns as that was a wise move.

I'm traveling back home to the states today, so don't expect any posts from me for the next two days. Someone can take control of Miffy for combat.

Hearing Bildin's shout from behind him - and the beginnings of a spell, Sisk raises from his crouch and rushes forward to where the beast and Njord are struggling. He gives the minotaur a hefty kick in the abdomen - in an effort to wind him, and pulls Njord back from the beast. Hoping to get them both to safety before his fellow mage causes too much destruction.

Sorry. Bunch of overtime and nightshifts this week. Posting will be very spotty until next Monday. If I'm missing something important (like combat) just act for me.

No problem, anything happens I'll control you in a neutral/normal kind of way.

Sisk and Njord fall backwards, and the Minotaur wheels around, using his off-hand to smack Miffy into a wall with a crunch of bones.

Bildin uses his Magic to seize the earth on the other side of the stone as well as the stones, so as not to collapse the whole tunnel. He then pushes the wall inward, knocking the Immature Minotaur into the wall opposite, smacking it's head against the wall and dazing it as well as dealing server damage.

Miffy HP 25/30 **INCAPACITATED, UNSPECIFIED BONE DAMAGE

Immature Minotaur HP 30/50 **DAZED

Artemis draws an arrow from his quiver and fires it at the minotaur's face, reaching to draw another arrow as soon as he releases the string.

Looks like fanklok should still be next, then Mordereth will take over for Captainguy24, CourtingDisaster, and the minotaur, then you, then me.

Yes zjpicks, but Captainguy is Incapacitated.

Njord's axe struck the Immature Minotaur, a sanguine arc following it's flow. It, however, was not a solid strike. The Minotaur is largely unharmed, but is now bleeding.

The Immature Minotaur losses three points of health from bleeding.

" GAH!" Miffy yelled as slid down the wall after having the Minotaur hit him.

I'm back, and I've noticed Miffy has been beaten down! It's cool, I'm alright with Miffy being incapacited for the rest of the fight, I just hope he can be healed after so he's not just a being dragged around for the rest of the dungeon.
