Quote: This opponent is difficult solo, and pairs are suggested! A small swarm of birds spot you and swoop in like they're of one mind to attack. Their bronze beaks glint wickedly, and their metallic feathers catch the sunlight. They attack by launching these feathers or by flinging their poisonous dung. Hit points: 60 Damage: 5 damage each time they are attacked. If you successfully kill this bird, each party involved in the battle gets 15XP and rolls 1d100 to collect loot according to the following: 1-60: You gain nothing but the victory of having beaten this opponent. 61-75: Poisonous Dung: You manage to collect a vial of the vile stuff. It can thrown at an opponent once to poison them, dealing 1 damage for 3 turns. After this it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 76-90: Heart's Blood: You manage to collect a vial of the creature's blood. It can be used once to replenish 3 HP, at which point it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 91-100: Metal Feather: Once per battle, you can backstab with this small dagger. Add 2 to your final damage. This item is reusable, and remains in your inventory.

It might have been a mistake to come out here alone again so soon. Zan had grown cocky from his initial success and he had found a suitable hair tie he was intent on experimenting with in the heat of battle. Very important stuff.
This time, there were three of those b*****d birds winging overhead instead of just one, which might have had something to do with all the noise he'd kicked up earlier. He had a feeling that if he tried to head back inside they would ambush him, no matter how stealthy he tried to be. More importantly, losing here would do a number on his ego. For now, he watched them, left hand around the hilt of his dagger and right over the spot where his token rested underneath his coat.Quote: Initiative: 9 Weapon: Dagger (agile melee) HP: 50

Marisol had seen a shadow by one of the windows and excused herself from the group she'd been checking on. She was quiet as she slipped through one of the few remaining doors that would actually open, assuming it was a lone bird that was circling the building. Instead she found a young man and a small swarm of three birds. <******** style="font-size: 11px">Marisol's Health: 50 - 3 (Ranged) = 47 HP

Any remark she had been intent on making was swallowed as one of the birds seemed to zero in on the man. Pulling out her whip, she flung her arm out and felt relief when the leather cracked on the bird's beak, surprising it and causing it to retreat. Using the moment to her advantage, she called out. "Are you going to stand there or fight?" It wasn't a rebuke; it was a serious question. If he wasn't, they both needed to get their asses out of there fast. If he was--she hoped he knew what he was doing. Marisol's Health: 47 - 5 = 42 HP

Zan lost sight of one of the beasts as a diminutive woman stepped out into the snow and lashed a whip at the side of his head. He jumped away from the snapping beak she had actually aimed at, raising his knife as one of the creature's metallic wings grazed his coat.
"I'm fighting! Jeez."
And he did. Drawing the birds away from her so she might hit them at range, Zan tried slicing at them between taunts and flailing, but none of them would get close enough to properly hit.

He hadn't been fighting a moment ago, she thought, but this wasn't the time to devolve into an argument or blame. It was far more important to kill this swarm that had them pinned down. Although, really, she wasn't sure taunts amounted to much. She lined up her sight, watching as one of the birds drew close to the man as if to attack and then sent the whip shooting out. It cracked against the bird's left wing causing the creature to screech as it dropped. The attack didn't go unpunished as a metal feather was launched at her--it grazed against her shoulder and she glowered determined to kill these jerks. Marisol's Health: 42 - 5 = 37 HP
Bird's Health: 54 - (200% x 4) = 46 HP

She was right. He hadn't been fighting. On top of that, he was fairly certain she had saved him some pain, if not an ear. Normally, he would have made a point of being more grateful and not contradicting someone who might be an ally, but he'd been startled and defensive. He hadn't wanted to seem useless so soon into his new career, but it seemed that was out of his hands now.
Zan swung at the bird she had dragged lower, but all he managed to do was clip a tail feather. The beasts were back to flapping just out of reach.

Damn. It seemed he was faring as well as she had after stepping into this mess. Which was to say badly. She hoped he managed to succeed faster than she had. As anxiety inducing as this whole monster metal birds fight was, they had little choice but to kill or be killed. "Duck!" she yelled out, watching as one of the bird's tried to attack him from his right. A crack sounded as she flung the whip out and snapped against the bird's neck. It seemed to flounder. Please, let him get that one. Marisol's Health: 37 - 5 = 32 HP

He did as he was told, landing a slice as he ducked that was a little too late to draw blood, though it did appear to stun the bird, sending it crashing to the ground.
"This was way easier when it was just one," he said, not quite an excuse, but still a self-conscious explanation of his failure.

She could feel the worry beginning to well up; she'd taken a fair amount of damage. Unfortunately it seemed the dagger was a poor weapon against the birds and he didn't seem to have much luck inflicting pain on the damn things. She really hoped their luck turned or they might be in real trouble. Pushing the thoughts away, she turned to attack. The strike wasn't as strong as she would've like but it managed to wrap around the bird's wing, squeezing and pulling it off balance. If the man could get the dagger in the right spot...

The place he stuck the dagger was arguably worse than any other place he had ever stuck it before, but much like the last bird, this one went down into the snow after his strike, flapping irritably as it tried to shake off its confusion. Theoretically, all he had to do was get over there and stab them, but that was proving to be a tall order for reasons he didn't understand. Where was stupid Hermes now, huh?

And she'd thought her skill was questionable, if not a downright myth, when she emerged from the flames. Whatever it was, she was really starting to fear they'd have to run for their lives. It didn't help that her next attack went wide and merely slapped, pathetically, against the top of a bird's head. She wanted to scream, except she didn't know whether she wanted to call for help or at someone for how difficult this seemed to be. They were goddamn birds; why were they so hard to kill?

And then, it happened.
With a grunt born of equal parts frustration and exhaustion, Zan lunged forward, wrapping his arms around one of the downed birds and stabbing up past rows of feathers into its chest. It slumped in the snow just as its companion knocked him in the back of the head, sending him temporarily tripping to his knees.
One down, at least two to go. All he had to do now was get up.
