To the thief, a trove of olde coffers, precisely what he was hoping to see -- certainly happier to be knee deep in the treasure hunt while his seniors wade into battle. While on the other side of the complex 'neathe the sands, the spearman finds naught save a pile of rubble ever so precariously stacked in the wall ahead. . .[/i][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lgoLNi9.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent]"Hellions! Ahead our aim is in sight." Kastilus' voice is held high, echoing well through the squalid halls. With a spring in his step, the scholar bounds up just behind Siris, similarly placing himself under the gaze of the yeeks beyond the shadow, nevertheless, he continues to speak. "The final resting place of Dumuzid. . . Ahh, I can make the tomb out just ahead. Onward--!" As he cries out, the sound of crumbling sandstone draws his eye, he sucks upon his teeth. With a mighty heave from that mighty man, the broken up wall comes to an end, revealing the warrior's suspicions. As the others trudge ahead to meet with last vestiges of Yeek-kind in the Zigguarrat, the roar of hidden foes splits their attention.[/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/sOE3uw2.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent]AMA-SIN: "Damn. . ! We won't lose the element of surprise, cut those Hellions down once and for all!" Shrouded both in the royal purples of the rival merc band and the gloam of the ancient temple, a fierce-featured lithe figure gives the call to advance.[/indent][/indent] [hr] [center][sub][h2][i]FOES[/i][/h2][/sub] [hider=FOE NUMBERS] 1x YEEK WARRIOR 2x YEEK ENSI 1x SCORPION SWORDSMAN AMA-SIN AGGA GESTIES [/hider][/center] [hider=YEEK STATISTICS] [img]https://i.imgur.com/lycL1dv.png[/img] [h3]BLUE YEEK WARRIOR[/h3] XP-RATE 0.8 [sub] | VIT -- 11 BLADES -- C | MGT -- 4 POLEARMS -- D | SKI -- 5 AXES/BLUNT -- E | SPD -- 6 BOWS/RANGED -- E | SRT -- 0 THEURGY -- N/A | MND -- 0 MYSTICISM -- N/A | LUK -- 4 [/sub] [list] [*][b]YEEK CLAWS[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 1 [*]ACCURACY | 80 [*]WEIGHT | 0 [*]RANGE | 1 [*]SPECIAL | [i]Thin and nigh serrated, natural weapons of the Yeek.[/i] [*]CLASS | BLADE [/list][/list] [list] [*][b]GNARLED SPEAR[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 3 [*]ACCURACY | 80 [*]WEIGHT | 4 [*]CONDITION | 5/5 [*]RANGE | 1 [*]SPECIAL | [i]Little more than a tree limb, knapped to a point.[/i] [*]CLASS | POLEARM [/list][/list] [list] [*][b]GNARLED JAVELIN[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 2 [*]ACCURACY | 65 [*]WEIGHT | 5 [*]CONDITION | 5/5 [*]RANGE | 1-2 [*]SPECIAL | [i]A little more craftsmanship was put into this tree limb, it might just fly straight.[/i] [*]CLASS | POLEARM [/list][/list] [List] [*][b]YEEK HIDE[/b] [list] [*]DEFENSE | 1 [*]WEIGHT | 0 [*]SPECIAL | [i]Rubbery and blue.[/i] [/list][/list] [b]JITTERY[/b] -- [i]After engaging in battle, this unit may move to an unoccupied adjacent tile.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/j4Yl9PQ.png[/img] [h3]BLUE YEEK ENSI[/h3] XP-RATE 0.8 [sub] | VIT -- 9 BLADES -- D | MGT -- 2 POLEARMS -- E | SKI -- 2 AXES/BLUNT -- E | SPD -- 8 BOWS/RANGED -- E | SRT -- 5 THEURGY -- C | MND -- 0 MYSTICISM -- N/A | LUK -- 6 [/sub] [list] [*][b]YEEK CLAWS[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 1 [*]ACCURACY | 80 [*]WEIGHT | 0 [*]RANGE | 1 [*]SPECIAL | [i]Thin and nigh serrated, natural weapons of the Yeek.[/i] [*]CLASS | BLADE [/list][/list] [list] [*][b]Heal -- 𒀀[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 0 (As Melee) [*]ACCURACY | 90 (As Melee) [*]WEIGHT | 0 [*]CONDITION | 20 [*]RANGE | 1 [*]SPECIAL | Restores VIT to an adjacent ally equal to (SRT+7) [*]COST | 250 [/list][/list] [list] [*][b]Word of Zuug-Agbliish -- 𒀯[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 1 (As Melee) [*]ACCURACY | 80 (As Melee) [*]WEIGHT | 2 [*]CONDITION | 4/4 [*]RANGE | 4 [*]SPECIAL | Until the start of this unit's next turn, all allies within four tiles gain +2 Might +15 AVO, while foes lose -15 AVO [*]COST | -- [/list][/list] [list] [*][b]Word of Stone -- 𒀯[/b] [list] [*]MIGHT | 1 (As Melee) [*]ACCURACY | 80 (As Melee) [*]WEIGHT | 2 [*]CONDITION | 5/5 [*]RANGE | 3 [*]SPECIAL | 45 + A.SRT - D.RES % chance of petrifying defender for one turn.

That Sage was right after all, to think we could take our revenge today. . !" The rival mercs begin to funnel out from the hole moments after Lyun had revealed their hiding spot. Without delay a bladesman charges past the broad shouldered brute and hacks deeply with a fell motion into Iddin's left shoulder. A spray of crimson marks the renewed flames between the two bands.

A hide-wrapped man with a penetrating eye darts past his fallen comrade. Unable to react in time through the pain of his wound, another sharp sting of metal finds its way into the man's abdomen. Yet even so, the stalwart warrior is able to bring another hand-axe quickly to draw Scorpion blood all the same. [center][i][sup]AMA-SIN attacks LYUN with their BRONZE LONGKNIFE, dealing 9 DAMAGE!

Those ahead couldn't immediately snap around, those damnable blue-skinned freaks yet remained in the darkness of the expansive chamber beyond. Grumbled words of their god, Zuug-Agblish fill the hall as zealous fervour enrages the last of the Yeeks. One of the two patter down from the dias toward the scholar, yet a mere glare stays its weapon, sending it toward the man beside -- A gnarled spear finds its mark 'tween the gaps of Siris' armour, while Zarif deftly parries the next. With a will, they strike back.

Grahahaha!" The stout figure of squat and hideous countenance bore an axe about the size of an average man upon just one of his shoulders, evoking the same image as the Red Yeek slain just before.
