The battle quickly descends into madness as the two forces, equal in size crash into one another, claws and swords flailing about in an all around ugly manner as both sides focus more on getting the job done than looking good doing it. Caesar manages to keep the templar mage grappled and even slams her into the pedestal that holds the orb, making a rather unpleasant sound issue from the woman's ribs as they struggle against each other. Several more arrows fire into the group of archers, forcing the templar bowmen to take cover behind some nearby barrels rather than return fire. The draconic children of Skarina both manage to tie down their opponents and strip off their leather armor as their many limbs tease and work to strip them further. Even Karasha manages to find success against her male opponent, her stinger sinking into his hip and paralyzing the man before he manages to get away.
Skarina meanwhile faces off against the Templar Captain, the many decorations upon her armor seeming to actually mean something as she pulls her leg back just after the half dragon's tail had gripped it to pull Skarina off balance just before the knight's shield slams into her chest, knocking the draconic monster to the ground. Splayed out on her back, the templar almost seems to wait for Skarina to try standing up again as she speaks, "I'll be happy to correct that attitude of yours momentarily, beast." The clear feminine voice calls forth from within her full helm. Before she can act on her threat however, The Boss charges in, dodging several strikes from some of the soldier's engaged nearby and forces the captain back with a heavy swing of her axe. The Templar's shield parries the blow but she does have to take a step back from Skarina in order to keep her footing. Scoffing the knight calls out, "Could have guessed you'd come at me with numbers. If you're so eager to live the rest of your miserable lives in a dungeon before you're executed, come at me then!" Taking a ready stance the Templar raises humming mace, prepared to continue this fight at a disadvantage.
Kassy had found herself in a downright perfect position as she watched the two soldiers moving toward the battle as the monsters started to show a slight advantage in the fight. Caesar had locked down the mage and the ornate knight was busy keeping Skarina and Boss company while it was starting to become clear that the foot soldiers weren't prepared for this sort of engagement. Sneaking forward once more, the taur would notice Liegius step from nowhere to begin fiddling with the orb standing upon the pedestal behind Caesar and the mage. Getting right behind one of the female soldier's Kassy manages to grab her just as Lucas jumps out and engages her friend, beginning to trade parries and strikes with the other soldier as Kassandra dragged her own struggling foe back behind the nearest tent. The woman screamed into the herm's hand but the sound of the conflict around them was loud enough to keep those noises from traveling very far at all, even if they increased in volume as Kassy worked a hand into the woman's leather leggings.
Azshara at the same time didn't end up getting a verbal answer from her prey as they woman simply was too enraptured by the practiced touch of the lamia's hand to even do more than stand there agape at the pleasure that wracked her brain before the corrupting influence of the monster overwhelmed her. Unable to do more than lean against Azshara's tail, letting the powerful appendage hold her up, the archer succumbed fully to her new mistresses' actions and most certainly wouldn't require binding any longer. The woman wouldn't be much help for several seconds however as her mind was so addled by both pleasure and the monstrous taint of her new master to allow her to focus on anything. The fight raged around them still as archers fled several feet away from their doomed comrades, the paralyzed man that Karasha toyed with right next to them trying to scream though his lungs couldn't pull in enough air to allow for more than groaning. The monstrous children of Skarina terrifying the foot soldiers as they overpower two of them physically with ease. There were plenty of targets to choose from still, even moving to assist Skarina with the Templar Captain seemed a good choice as from her vantage point it was clear to Azshara that the knight not suffered in their conflict so far.
Pocka and Rahk:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Rahk's interest in helping Pocka fight the Templar proves not to be enough as the hellhound dives atop the armored knight and uses her powerful claws to rend the plate and chain beneath that, cutting into his bicep enough to cause a significant bleeding wound. Pinned to the ground by the savage monster, the Templar does his best to move his stun baton between himself and the tearing claws and biting teeth of his opponent, unable to get a hit in edgewise under Pocka's furious assault even if his armor seems to shield him from a fair portion of the damage she's putting out. Without a proper stop to really swing or grab onto the knight, Rahk's simply left with the option to use the moment to move around to the other side of the templar to both get a better shot at him and block his path should he manage to get out from under the hellhound. Yelling in frustration, the Templar's voice sounds panicked underneath that solid plate helm as he flails about doing everything he can to push his opponent off of his body and get away.
Adrianna:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
The fight breaks out into a rather ugly affair just as Adrianna lets go of her opponent and pushes her aside. The female warrior took the chance to slash her blade across the valkyrie's back, sending a shock of intense pain down her spine. The mage, seeing her chance, dives away from Adrianna and after making a complicated hand motion fires a bolt of white energy straight into the monster's shoulder, nearly knocking her over with the concussive force. Seeing her mistress so injured, Mary turns her pistol upon the mage and fires, the loud report of the gun making the mage's following cry seem almost quiet while the enthralled Templar moves to stand at Adrianna's back, facing the warrior and leaving the mage in the valkyrie's capable hands. "I'll cover you but don't get cocky. She still wields powerful magic." Mary calls over her shoulder to her ally before facing off against the soldier, stun baton in hand.
Samuel meanwhile had stripped the other male archer or his weapons luckily just before the enemy managed to pull from his grip. The two men scramble to their feet and square off before the enemy archer throws a punch that Sam dodges by a hair before throwing his own punch that sinks into the other man's stomach making him stumble back for a moment. While they both get down to simply exchanging blows since they'd no better way to handle one another, the two newly enthralled minions stood once more and looked at the situation before staring off at Adrianna, seemingly too off kilter from just recently being enthralled waiting for her orders.
