>>119413With his back effectively turned to the griffon, he gets a clean shot, even managing to penetrate his armor to cleave at Silver's flesh.
[1d8+3 = 11]>>119411>>119413He strikes through, breaking through a strap in the top part of Silver's armor on the back
>>119415It's a
devestating hit, causing Silver to stumble and cry out in pain as the steel tears into his back and breaks a rib, or perhaps two if the pain is anything to go by. He's still standing, but another couple hits like that, and he won't be.
[2d6 = 10][1d8+1 = 6][1d3+1 = 2]>>119416>>119417>>119415An arrow shoots forth, and lands in the base of the back of the head of the griffin that just attacked Silver.
A flurry of black and tan attacks the red robed griffin, as a separate griffin springs forth and claws him
>>119419
Actually, that's not him
The griffin that just stabbed Silver falls down, slumping down as his legs fail him.
The other griffin now turns to his attacker, slashing at her
>>119419>>119420>>119421Both of his claws land with effect on her chest and neck
[1d20+3 = 22]>>119419>>119423Silver is bleeding from the face, neck, and back. The female griffin that tried to carry away Loputu is on her belly, seriously injured. Loputu turns to buck her.
The white robed griffin with the sword has slumped down, wounded by an arrow
Further away, the mahogany griffin is engaged in serious combat with Jubilosa, who is now very seriously wounded
[1d3 = 2]>>119424The female griffin of the white robes is hit in her side by Loputu's buck
[1d20+8 = 26]>>119424With little heed payed to his own grievous injuries, Silver turns to assist Jubilosa, stabbing at the last standing enemy griffon.
>>119426>>119427Silver’s Sword goes right into his chest, breaking a rib in the process, and slicing him open. This combines with the scratches left by Jubilosa, and the sword strike earlier. He falls down to the ground, limp, a wing open and falling away, and his neck twisted. His eyes are open and unseeing
>>119428Silver looks around at the battlefield to see what other enemies are left alive.
>>119429The sword armed griffin is out, but maybe not dead
The female griffin is out. The red robes griffin lies on the floor. Two other griffins are present, one blending from long scratches down her chest and neck, and the other hurriedly approaching Silver
[1d20+5 = 16]>>119430Jubilosa and Blue Skies. Silver is visibly immensely grateful they are here, both of them.
Heal: Immediately, Silver pulls out his medkit of rapidly diminishing medical supplies, and sees to Jubilosa's scratch wounds.
>>119431Fug, should be +7, not +5.
>>119431Cuts along her neck and her chest are worse than they look. The neck scratch goes into the windpipe, causing her to breath strangely, and the cuts on her chest go deep, though not penetrating the lung
Khoi Lua rubs up, and places a hoof on Jubilosa, who lies down on the ground
“Will you be okay?” She asks Jubilosa
Blue Sheckeks rubs up to Silver
“Poor Silver! They hurt you!”
>>119433"Дерьмо. I had wound like that on my own neck not too long ago. She will be fine after she has had time to rest and heal." He attempts to do his best to patch her up, telling her to avoid excessive vocalization and doing anything that would cause her to get out of breath.
To Blue Skies he gives a grateful smile, the adrenaline in his system letting his endure the pain if for only a brief moment. "Please do not get any of my blood on your stunning coat, Blue. I do not want to bleed on you and ruin it."
But, most of all, he looks onto Loputu, to see how he is doing after this ordeal.
>>119434Jubilosa tried to speak, but realizes the rush if choking on her own blood, and stops. Whether through bandages or cut up robes, Silver can stop the bleeding. Khoi Lua helps press down, to stop the bleeding, and stays there to comfort Jubilosa,
She sits down beside her, a hoof on Jubilosa’s neck
“Something tranquil to put you mind in on instead of you wounds. There was this garden behind the house of my aunt, and it had the most gratifying view of the mountain and the forest.....
Blue Skies has her attention on Silver, trying to place a robe over him
“Get better...”
But Loputu stands back near where he was, near the other griffin, with some ability to walk around. The hackmore is tied around his mouth and prevents him from speaking. He can drag the reigns about, but is still covered in the restraints. He stands, shaking, and looks up at Silver through his long bangs
>>119434Khoi Lua, at Silver’s words, looks up at Silver
“That is some good news, at least. Our fellow traveler does not deserve this”
She goes back to her story to Jubilosa
Blue Skies
“Oh, don’t worry about these feathers. Are you okay?”
\r
>>119435>>119436Silver shakes the robe off of him, though not because he's ingrateful for her attempt to help. "I will be fine. I am not dead, thanks to you both."
He rushes over to Loputu even as the adrenaline runs its course and he begins to feel the pain from his wounds and he begins to wince with every breath he takes. He looks to see how he can free Loputu from his restraits. "I am so sorry, little one, I should have kept closer eye on you. I am so, so sorry this happened to you..."
>>119437He blinks, still looking up, but with his neck and head closer to the ground. He cannot speak in this state, and his long, lighter blue hair almost blocks his eyes. The tie for the hackmore is behind his head, easy enough to undo, he just can’t reach there.
>>119439Silver undoes the tie as soon as he sees it, and checks for any other restraits that need removed.
>>119438>>119440Silver removes it immediately. Loputu says nothing, not at first anyways. There are no other restraints
>>119438Well, “Blue Shekels” is the name we’ve given to Blue Skies in her griffin disguise
>>119441He places his forehooves on either of Loputu's sides, using his magic to brush aside his light blue mane from his eyes so he can look right at the colt. "Are you alright?"
>>119442When Silver tries to look at him, he moves his eyes down. Down, away from Silver, and to the left.
“I am okay...”
[1d20+3 = 7]>>119443His attempt to avoid eye contact is concerning to the older stallion. He now moves one of his forehooves from Loputu's side to underneath his chin, trying to gently guide his face and eyes back towards him.
Sense Motive: Silver pays close attention to Loputu when he asks him again, "Are you alright?", wanting to know if he is hiding something.
>>119444Yay!>>119445Nothing is readily apparent
>>119446He tries once more, just to be sure. "You know you can tell me anything and I will not be upset, yes? I am only concerned about your wellbeing."
>>119449He lets out a chuckle interspersed with winces. "Do not be. I am one who should be sorry." He uses a non-bloody hoof pat Loputu on the top of his head. "Stay with group from now on. It will be easy for us to protect you that way."
He also levitates over the griffon's meat cleaver/sword to the colt. "And here. You can use this to defend yourself should you get attacked again."
>>119451He looks up at Silver with sad eyes and a frown, then down at the bloody meat cleaver. Covered in Silver’s own blood
He places a hoof towards it, and looks at it
>>119452"Oh, right! Sorry..." Silver uses his knife to tear off a clear strip from one of the griffon's robes, and uses it to clean up the bloody cleaver. It's a crude instrument, like a cross between an axe and a sword, meant only for hacking into either living or dead flesh, but that does not make it any less deadly.
>>119453He sits down, and has a twisted expression as he looks back up to Silver
>>119454He give the colt an awkward expression. "I, uh...understand, if you do not want to use it. You do not have, either, it is just something stupid I thought of." He does smile at him, though. "I am glad you are safe, however."
With that, he steps away, wipes his sword clean of griffon blood on one of the griffons' robes, and begins to remove his armor and clothing to inspect the bloody damage done to him.
>>119455He comes up, and takes the cleaver anyways
“I wasn’t roaming around. I didn’t know were you all were, and I hid in a closer when I saw the robe wearers approach”
A hack right into his back, blood dripping down, a scratch on his face. More blood
[1d20+7 = 17]>>119456"I am sorry. We were in bathroom. You did well, trying to hide."
Every breath he takes is accompanied by a wince from his broken ribs poking into his lungs, and crimson red pours forth from his new wounds to stain his otherwise light grey floofy coat a dark red. An observer might be able to see bone through the cleaver wound on his back, where the steel hacking into his back flesh to his ribs. He looks to be in pain from his wounds, and underneath his coat his pink skin looks a bit pale from blood loss. "Блядь. This hurts..."
Heal: Silver does his best to at least stop the bleeding.
>>119457The frown faces, and he stands up, looking at Silver
Silver is able to force a piece of cloth on him, and with enough pressure, stop the bleeding
Blue Shekels comes up, and presses down on him, to help stop the bleeding
Loputu asks him
“Are... are you alright?”
>>119458He smiles first gratefully at Blue's aid, then reassuringly at Loputu's question. He tries to put on a brave face for the colt. "I will be. I have had worse, before."
>>119459He turns his head slightly
“Why did you come here?”
>>119460Silver tilts his head back at him. "You will have to elaborate? Did you mean why I came to this building in first place, or why I came to find you?"
>>119461“Here. To this place”
From behind, Mala walks around, and starts to sniff Silver
>>119462Mala's appearance startles Silver, causing him to let out an audible "Hng!" in pain, but he answer's Loputu's question. "My friend Dark Star asked for help on this assignment to put end to what was happening here. I accepted, not only because I wanted to help him, but also because I wanted to help people who were being hurt because of what they were doing here." He scratches the non-bloody side of his face with a hoof. "I will admit, I did not expect things to be so bad here. I expected bad, but not...this. But I am glad I am still here to help those who have been hurt, like you."
>>119463He blinks
“I just wanted to go fishing on the seawall. Maybe I was trespassing, but that was the worst of it...”
Mala moves over to Silver’s side
>>119464"I know. These people, these griffons that captured you, Jubilosa, Khoi, and others, killed countless beings, and forced others like Mala to do their bidding...they are evil. There is no other way to put it. They need to be stopped. Even if it kills me, I
will see them stopped."
He lets Mala do whatever it is he needs to do. Mala can hear him breathing shallowly to try to avoid hurting himself.
