Eberron suddenly shot up from the floor. That noise... Keeping one hand firmly on his hat and the other on his bag, Eberron rushed into the next room and took in the scene before him. Or at least, he did once he had finished gagging at the awful smell that filled the room. Placing the wooden hat with a clunk to the ground while simultaniously removing the heavy bag from his back, Eberron pinched his nose and thought about the situation.

Monsters. Lots of them. People already attacking. Ooo, stones... NO! Concentrate. Ok, so one had a bow. Bows were bad. That was a start...

Deciding on his target, Eberron let go of his nose and barralled straight into the mele, putting as much strength into the first punch that he possibly could. His eyes wild and wide open, Eberron focused straight in on the archer and laughed manically as he pulled his muscular, rock solid arm back and brought it crashing down with all the strength he could muster.

Leth followed the rest of the group as they entered into the only available room, and were promptly attacked by a gang of monsters. Alright, a chance to do some work. Leth thought with enthusiasm. He moved to the back of the wall and drew an arrow from the quiver at his leg. He set it to the string and drew back, aiming at the only creature that could attack him back from a distance- the bulbin archer. He set his sights right at the creatures forehead... only to be blocked by the massive form of a rather powerful-looking goron. Ebberon, that was his name. Okay, he can handle the archer... Leth thought, and turned to the rest of the enemies, only to realize that Alpha had unleashed an elemental explosion. Well, maybe i WON'T get a chance to be useful. But it's good to be prepared, just in case... He kept the arrow set and the string drawn back so he could fire at any enemy that survived Alpha's powerful magic.

Saber hardly noticed the group pass him, so absorbed was he in his work. There were marks all over the place, or at least enough so that the footsteps of inconsiderate adventurers didn't obscure them all. Hearing the door creak, the mercenary nearly gasped, reaching for his blade. But no, nothing was entering. From either direction, in fact.

It must be a Sheikah. At least he's on my side then.

Going back to his business, he began isolating the marks, seperating them into three groups. There were the light, barely imprinted footsteps of the Garo ninja; this was definitely where the Caravan attacking group had originated from, then. Hopefully the group was prepared to handle another batch of those. Far more plentiful and easily observed, however, were the Bokoblin and Bulblin footprints. Hefty, clumsy creatures, they left quite a mark everywhere they went, and it was folly on any adventurer who didn't recognize the telltale signs, tracker or no.

"It looks like we're dealing with Bulbins, Bokoblins, and Garo--"

Oh, well, maybe they didn't care after all. Everyone had just started walking off into the next room. Joy. No caution anymore, these people. Sighing, the youth rose back to his feet, dusted off, and sauntered after the group, filtering through the door like children to the schoolyard. Emerging into the new room with a smell that seemed strangely familiar--oh, right, his cooking--he was surprised to see that he had become engaged in yet another conflict. How it had happened was beyond him, but whilst his brain tried to rationalize the turn of events, his eyes took action. Six enemies who were caught while eating, all fairly routine blins, and a cauldron filled with what looked like fairly scalding contents. There was his chance.

Leaving the saber sheathed, two pale hands scrabbled with the strings of the bomb bag, finally catching the loose knot and pulling it apart. Delving into the sack, a bomb was extracted, and swiftly lit. Letting the fuse burn for a few seconds, the nomad lined up his shot and let the bomb fly. Well, roll anyways. If all went well, the explosive would nestle nicely beneath the cauldron, tipping its contents onto the creatures around it, or possibly destroying the container itself. Either way, it was guaranteed to give the broth more flavor.

Kagari noticed that there were more foes in the next room. He pulled his bow out and then an arrow from his quiver. We slowly entered the room and then shot the arrow with accuracy. He was going for one of the archers in the room. "Let's see who is better," Kagari challenged as he started to run around the room. He was hoping to distract them for his friends and other adventurers to get them secretly, or take out the other monsters of Ganons.

HP: 40

The combination of the pungent cooking smell and the Bokoblin's cry instantly alerted Aria to the presence of six beasts. Ah, damn, is all the ranger had time to think before they all began to rush at her. Her next priority from there was to get out of their way.

The Gerudo almost wished she was a Sheikah if only she could replicate Alpha's feat of hiding among the shadows. Almost; Aria still prefered being a Gerudo. However, she was still envious of the mage's ability to unleash such powerful magic among all of the foes present. The ranger would just have to make do with her bombs, and she imitated Saber's act of pulling one out and lighting it. Using quick judgement, Miss Sinwater rolled the bomb into the midst of the enemy group. If all went well, this encounter would end quickly.

Well, no key there. Darilan shouldn't have been surprised; if there were a key on one of the Bulblins, it might be clear across the room from that bomb blast. Just as he noticed that some of the others went toward the adjacent room, he heard Saber say something about the monsters they were dealing with. He wasn't too worried about the Bulblins and Bokoblins, but the mention of the Garo had him concerned. Sure, maybe they killed all of them when they used the caravan to lure them out, but they couldn't be positive. The reminder that there had been, or were Garo in these tunnels made Darilan feel a bit paranoid. They could be hiding in the shadows, waiting to attack, just like that man in their group; the Sheikah were not the only beings in Hyrule that had that sort of ability.

A moment later, he heard a monster call out in alarm; he didn't catch what it said, but it sounded like it was warning other monsters of the Adventurers. As he ran up to the doorway, he was hit by a wall of stench, and willed himself not to vomit. He took a few seconds to assess the situation. There were six monsters, a few people rushing in to engage them, and a couple rolling bombs, and the mage just popped out of the shadows and looked like he was about to do something devastating. But there were no Garo. He figured it was an unnecessary preoccupation, but this seemed like a good place for the monsters to stage an ambush, by using a few weaklings as bait to draw in attackers. He scanned the room to see if there were any other minions that weren't in plain site [Awareness Check].

As he looked around the room, he cracked a smile, seeing the horrid conditions the monsters lived in. With all the attacks that the Adventurers were throwing at them, they didn't have much longer to live. He was too busy searching for hidden dangers that might not have been present, so instead of attacking any of the monsters he tried to wear them down with words. "It's sad that you fools have to live like this," he said in the monsters' language. The moment he opened his mouth to speak, he could taste the foul cooking in the air, and thought about how badly he would have to be starving to eat anything that tasted like that. He imagined the monsters didn't have a good food supply. "Your leaders care nothing for you. They put you all here to die."

Six enemies littered the area and were of no concern to the goron because for all of their bickering and regurgitated banter they were about as strong as a passing wind, barely noticeable beneath the soft dancing of his beard as it swung low at his feet. A bomb would surely do the trick should anything leave the next moment unscathed. Surely the price paid for each bomb was substantial enough to relieve him from the constant nagging of unsheathing his swords from their holsters or baring the sight of these creatures for seconds unnecessary.

Of course, this all went without saying as it was obvious from the tumbling of other bombs that strolled like children one behind the other, that his allies were surely getting tired of these barrages of weak and ill-fed competition. His too jumped gleefully behind Aria's bomb, following in its wake as it skipped behind hers with a smile that tussled like a kindled flame.

'Uugh.'

OOC: Sorry it's short, I'm on a public computer.

IC: Simon frowned. He was so ineffectual. He barely assisted at all in the previous fight, and now he feared the same for the next. As he sulked along, he would've stopped his comrades from rushing into the room unprepared, but nothing was going to stop them. Instead, he stood by the passageway into the new room. Seeing the enemies rushing at his friends, he readied a fire blast. Taking his time to aim the shot, he threw the flame burst at the nearest Bulbin wielding a club. "Fire," he cried [Fire].

The Bulblin archer snaps awake and comes away from the wall as its enemies enter the room, one after another. It grinned as it readied a decrepit, rusted arrow on its even more dilapidated bow. The barbed projectile aimed directly at the Gerudo, the marksman of the rabble instinctively labeled Aria as a traitor and prepared to dispose of her. It would not be so fortunate, however.

Just as the arrow flies from the bow, a horrendous bolt of lightning comes crashing down from nowhere and disintegrates the diseased projectile. It is followed by several dozens more as Alpha reveals himself and his elemental light show builds itself up. The devastating thunder attack misses one of the luckier Bokoblins, but all of the other monsters present are not quite so fortunate. The Bulblin archer takes the worst of the pseudo-storm, while the other minions are able to resist the might of Alpha's magic. (Bokoblin 2 & 3 -11 HP; Bulblin Archer -22 HP; Bulblin 1 & 2 -11 HP)

Already the battle is going surprisingly well for the adventurers. The Bokoblin that was able to resist the spell entirely is fuming about, and it quickly jumps at Alpha with its blade swinging viciously at the mage. Of course, this attempt is futile. The Bokoblin ought to know better. The archer is much more successful, and as it knocks another arrow in place it lets out a grunt of superiority, along the lines of "Get that mage!" It does just that. Alpha take the shaft to his shoulder and the Bulblin dances with glee, preparing another. (Alpha -13 HP)

Taint proves, despite previous flawed strategies, that he is worth more to the party than he might personally believe. His sword literally smashes into the unsuspecting Bokoblin that he has made his target and gives the beast a bit of an incentive for rethinking the life it has chosen to live. In addition to this, the Bokoblin is disarmed. The sword that it had swung at Alpha lands on the other end of the room. Before Taint can taunt over his victory, however, he finds an arrow sticking into his ribs with a devastating squish. (Bokoblin 1 -18 HP; Taint -13 HP)

The Bulblin archer appears to be the leader of the pack. It lets out a sickly laugh as it prepares a fourth arrow, grinning madly after hitting his mark on both adventurers. Just before it is able to fire off this projectile, it feels the hard fists of the mighty Goron. For the brief moment before its death, it feels as though the rocky hands of Dragonbane himself were giving it a solid punch to the head. It falls back against the wall, instantly dead. The bow crumbles as it hits the floor with its deceased master. Bulblin Archer Defeated)

Leth's arrow finds itself plunging into the think, dirty skin of the disarmed Bokoblin. It had been scurrying around looking for its weapon, useless without it. The beast falls forward, the clean shaft of the archer's arrow stabbing into its back. With a squeal of pain it tears the projectile out and furiously tries to find its sword. (Bokoblin 1 -9 HP)

The others hiss in despair as a bomb is rolled into their midst. The creatures have obviously become quite accustomed to the wicked power of the Goron-crafted explosives, and with good reason. As the terrifying, compact ball of doom rolls towards the center of the room it goes off with a grand bang, shocking all present, adventurers and monsters alike. Some are able to dodge, some are not. (Bokoblin 2 & Bulblin 2 -10 HP)

Perhaps from bad luck but perhaps from all of the earth tremors caused by Saber's bomb, Kagari's arrow doesn't manage to hit anything close to a Bokoblin or Bulblin. He had been very successful up until this point with his marksmanship. It seems that it was only a matter of time before he would miss. The Bulblin that had escaped the explosion is quick to attack the defenseless archer. It swings its club madly and hits the poor ranger across the back of his head. (Kagari -11 HP)

It taunts the archer and gives him a good kick before turning to retreat... running and stumbling directly over the newest bomb. With a cry it braces itself for impact and is lost in smoke. As this smoke clears and the echoes of the explosion die down, the Bulblin is confirmed to be living still, although in rough shape. Its club is gone, and its clothes are all but destroyed, not to mention it's feeling a little dizzy. In addition, one of the Bokoblins is caught in the blast. This is the end of the disarmed Bokoblin. The Bulblin tries to exact vengeance, and is unsuccessful in doing so. (Bulblin 1 -7 HP; Bokoblin 1 Defeated)

What happens next can only be described as an oddity of the battlefield. Darilan's words seem to have some sort of impact on the second Bulblin. And why should they not? The Sheikah is obviously an intelligent person, having learned the language of the Bulblin and its fellows. The creature speaks back to the scribe in infernal. "Ganon promises us to free us from this place and offers us mountains of gold and wine... but these conditions are gruesome and now you adventurers are here to kill us all." It looks at its club and begins to whimper. "I don't wanna die! Please let me live!"

One of the Bokoblins gives it a shove and hisses at it. "Shaddap and attack!" it bellows in its unholy dialect. The Bulblin hisses back and pushes his ally back. "It's no use," it cries, before being pushed once more. In an instant the pair is on the ground wrestling one another, instead of fighting the adventurers. The Bulblin pins the Bokoblin and bashes it several times in the face with its wooden club. The Bokoblin does not survive. The best part of the little exchange, of course, is that Darilan is the only one who truly knows what happened. (Bokoblin 2 Defeated)

Before it can begin to beg once more for its life to be spared, the third bomb rolls up next to it and goes off. Rosen's explosives seem to be the most effective, and the Bulblin is sent flying back into the wall beside the dead archer. It lands in a heap, also dead. The remaining Bulblin gasps and chokes out a snarl at the Goron and charges at it, claws bared, its weapon having been burned by Aria's bomb going off. It claws at the elder, but its unclean nails fail to even scratch the thick, stony hide of the strong Goron. It whimpers before disappearing in a burst of flames, having not even noticed Simon behind him. As the fire clears, there are no longer living Bulblins in this room. (Bulblin 1 & 2 Defeated)

Bokoblin 1: Defeated
Bokoblin 2: Defeated
Bokoblin 3: 16 HP

A complete success! Taint felt somewhat redeemed, but was satisfied. Lilly cheered from above the battlefield, having finally seen her partner make use of himself. She gasped, as the enemy drew near behind the Zora, but it would be too late to dodge it. He winced as he felt pain shoot through his body, but ignored it altogether.

All in all, the monster was weak. He'd felt much worse pain before, and this quite seriously felt like nothing after a few seconds. The battle quickly came to it's peak, and then just as quickly reached it's end. Only one monster still remained. As one of the weaker members of the group, Taint would be happy to clean it up. With a simple motion, he sliced directly downward upon the Bokoblin.

Seeing his magical attack hit its target gave him great joy. He was almost tempted to do a little victory pose or dance. But he choose not to, realizing there was another enemy yet, a Bokoblin.

He frowned. He didn't want to waste more magic. He was certain his comrades would defeat the opponent with little to no trouble. However, he didn't want to simply stand idle. He prepared his Deku Staff, gripping it much like a bat or club, his left hand gripping the bottom of it, his right hand clasping a bit higher than the bottom. If it connected with its target, it could give the target quite a body ache or headache. He smiled, swinging the staff carved of Deku wood at a high velocity towards the opposing Bokoblin, wondering if he would even hit. If it connected, it should hit around the mid-torso.

Once again, the battle seems to take but seconds. With only one monster left--and being attented to by Taint--a certain youth once again loses interest and wanders off into the room, ignoring the conflict.

His bomb seemed to have not affected that cauldron at all...sad, really. His plans didn't seem to be working lately. It certainly made things duller, having nothing but straight options in battle. Although, upon reconsideration, perhaps it was a good thing the soupy substance remained in its container. Sauntering up to the bubbling mess, Sabertache leans cautiously over the rim, brown eyes peering into the...food. It may not look appetizing, but perhaps he was judging the book by the cover, or, in more contextual format, judging the soup by the number of boots, bones, and other inedible items floating in it. It was very, very possible that it still had some value as rations.

Sniffing and dipping a finger quickly into the broth, the nomad did his best to judge whether or not it was worth bottling some of the soup for later consumption. [Find Sustenance]

As good as it was to see his magic take a mighty toll on the enemy forces, it wasn't worth getting hit - and so Alpha's only thoughts as the arrow buried itself in his shoulder were shouts of anger . . . directed, surprisingly, entirely towards himself. 'How DARE you get distracted! I don't care if you have something worth celebrating - I don't care if that blast had taken out all six of them in one shot! There is NO excuse for getting hit, you idiotic moron!'

Note to the rest of Hyrule: Alpha would not make a good motivational speaker.

Still, the results of the last round were coming in, and they ended up being quite favorable to the Adventurers. Five monsters down - one, strangely enough, being taken out by its own forces (he reminded himself to brush up on his Infernal one of these days so that if further such incidents occurred, he might have at least some idea of what was going on) - and the final one being fairly injured.

Already the Zora and Simon attacking it, Alpha hardly felt a need to join in and participate. But those two were a bit slower than he; they would have to rely more on luck than he would in order to hit the creature. And even then, that might not be enough to deal the death blow. Better to give the help rather than wait around and see what happened, so he took his staff in hand and sped forward, coming in from the opposite side - hopefully what would end up being the Bokoblin's blind side.

OOC: I've been gone for two days, hope nothing big happened when I was gone!

IC: Kagari found it useless to attack for the time being. He looked around for something importants. He looked around the corpses and then around the ground for something that might be scattered around. [awareness check]

Bombs exploded left and right, and lightning crashed down upon the enemies, but that wasn't what Darilan paid mind to during the short battle. He was shocked that the words he said in a halfhearted attempt to demoralize the monsters led to a fight between two of them. It was clear that the monsters feared the Adventurers and that some were even hesitant to attack. With them being so easily intimidated, it was a wonder the monsters didn't just clear out the cave... He knew better than to think like that, though. The weakest beasts were probably placed where they were to give Ganon's opponents false confidence before they traveled deeper into the caves and came face to face with the tougher monsters. For now, though, he didn't mind fighting the weak ones.

There was still one left. Although several people were going after it, Darilan felt that he better help out, just in case some of them missed. Darilan stood a few meters away from the monster and the Adventurers, so as to avoid getting smacked in the face by a swinging sword or staff. Once they and their weapons were out of the way, the scribe stepped in to club it, knowing that by the time the staff connected with its body that it might already be dead. [Staff on Bokoblin]
