Culling the Weak 2

While Lovo and the goblin were fighting, Julki commanded the skeletons. No words were spoken but intentions were understood. He would do his best to kill the beasts, but was ordered to hold them off. All the skeletons could sense when their master was critically wounded and would only act when they sensed it.

The skeletons prepared. Bulwark took point with his shield in his right hand and mace choked up. He would have less reach, but was expecting to be grappled to hold one in place. Julki took up a position diagonally behind him. He was trying to cover his flank. Behind the both of them was Atlas. He held the great falchion in both hands preparing for the fight. If he was back to being human he would be a giant of a man. At the very back was Strider. He was crouched down with an arrow readied.

The closest two beasts charged the skeletons!

The skeletons acted like they were a hive mind.

Bulwark, Julki and Atlas charged back towards the beast while Strider launched an arrow. Still not the best with it his aim was off. Instead of hitting it in the eye like planed, it hit the shoulder of one of its front limbs. Still a good hit.

[25]

With that the rest let loose their plan. Bulwark ran right past the the beast as it was wounded and focused on pinning down the other. It ran as fast as it could; which was faster then humans as it didn't weigh nearly as much, but slightly stronger then one. It held it shield up bashing it to piss it off enough for it to wrap around him.

[20]

As soon as the shield made contact the beast reeled back before swinging back around and wrapping its body around Bulwark. Perfect! The beast unhinged it jaw and went to bite Bulwak.

-[5]

Thankfully because he didn't have flesh it was bone on bone attack. Barely hurting Bulwark.

As soon as the arrow hit its shoulder it reeked back and allowed Bulwark to run past and gave Julki and Atals their opportunity.

With Strider backing Bulwark up Julki and Atlas went into a frenzy.

Julki jumped up and shield bashed the head of the beast before it swung its sword down slashing part of its neck as it fell.

[20] [20]

As soon as he landed he side stepped out of the way for Atlas. At this point he was practically sprinting to catch up. As the beast started to catch its balance and lean forward, Atlas crouched with this blade on the side, then jumped straight up swinging it's sword.

*Shwing*

[30]

The beast barely had time to dodge the huge blade! It just leaned out the way enough for the hit not to be critical, but Atals definitely left his mark. Leaving a huge gash on the side of its face and completely removing its front right limb. Blood started gushing out covering Atlas.

The Wolfaconda caught itself and immediately dove at Atlas as he landed. The creature wrapped itself around him and started to constrict, claw and bite.

-[5] -[15] -[10]

Atals was completely restrained. Even with his sword I'm both hands he tried his best to deal any damage he could by using the sword like a saw.

[2] [2] [2]

Behind them Julki was circling the beast in a near crouching position. It has its shield and sword out and ready. As soon as it had an opening it took its sword and thrusted it under the beast arm with the blade facing up. Once the blade was hooked Julki dropped his shield, grabbed his sword with two hands and pulled as hard as he could in an upward motion.

Julki had managed to nearly cut another limb off and got his swords bleed affect to activate.

While those two were nearly killing their beast Strider launched another arrow. This one soared straight in target, hitting the beast in its shoulder. This caused Bulwark to briefly escape the beast mouth.

[25]

With its mouth still open Bulwark took his mace and shoved it in. He had the mace in the middle force the mouth open. Still holding his shield in his right hand; with his left hand he reach into beast mouth grabbing its tongue he started pulling. He dug his bony fingers into its tongue and pulled as hard as he could. The beast started to whimper as blood gushed from its touch. It quickly tried to unravel itself from Bulwark but he was prepared. He took his shield and held it behind the beast. It was bone on scale/fur contact. He used his legs to wrap around its snake like body forcing it to stay I position.

Bulwark was slowly being covered in blood as he ripped and tare's its tongue.

[35]

*Thump*

[25]

Another arrow from Strider pierces the beasts hide pinning its tail to the ground. Just barely.

As Julki managed to cut off that limb the beast broke free of Atlas.

[20]

It tried to get away but Julki blocked its path. Atlas gripped its falchion with both hands and swung horizontally!

[40]

The beast was cut in two! The top half fell one side while the bottom half fell another. As soon as they were about to rush to help Bulwark the other two Wolfaconda's showered up. Seeing one from their pact dead each of these swarmed one. Julie quickly grabbed his shield to protect himself, but he wasn't fast enough. He managed to grab his shield but the bigger one of the two beast spun around while charging and bashed him with its tail.

-[40]

*BOOM*

Julki was sent flying nearly 20 feat and crashed into a tree.

-[15]

As soon as that happened Atlas raised its sword with its forearm to block the attack. The beast had its jaw unhinged and lunged at Atlas. Thankfully he was bracing for impact but he was still pushed a foot back.

Lovo and the goblin finished their opponent and joined the fight. He saw Bulwark and Strider fighting one beast, Atlas held another at bay, but what shocked him the most was Julki being launched across the clearing.

He used his system to examine both beasts. The one fighting Atlas was level 5, but the other was different.
