Pathfinder: The Vampires Revenge

Who's laughing Now?

A gnoll came at me and swung his sword, but I rolled away and threw a dagger at him, but I hit his side instead. I lunged at him but I felt something hit my side and knocked me to the ground, but I rolled away as another gnoll tried to slice off my head. I ran up and threw some daggers in the hoard, and I got some hits, but their laughter just got louder and it was starting to drive me crazy. A gnoll swung at me but I dodge it and stabbed him in the back, then I rolled over him and had him tumble to the ground and trip three others. I used the momentum to jump at another one, but I got smacked in the face by a wooden club and I fell to the ground dazed. I couldn't let them swarm me so I quickly got up and it felt like I was spinning a little bit but I couldn't let that slow me down and I ran up to the closet-

I felt the wind get knocked out of me as the flat side of a huge sword smacked into me and sent me back flying to the ground. I was stunned for a few seconds, and I watched Rattle and Venom continue to fight behind me, but they were obviously running out of room. I tried to stand up, but I immediately felt something push me back down and I saw the gnoll leader stand over me, with his foot on my stomach, holding me down.

"What kind of pitiful creature are you suppose to be?" The leader growled in Taldane. I thought he was talking to me but I looked over and saw Jamada next to me. He looked up at the gnoll with weak eyes, and I knew he won't last any longer without any help. "You wouldn't even be fit for a sacrifice to our mother Lamashtu, let alone a snack for a gnoll." He raised his sword and Rattle & Venom didn't seem to notice with the laughter sounds being as loud as it is, so I grab another big knife I had and stabbed the gnoll in the leg. He growled in pain, but didn't let go, started at me with evil eyes and raised his huge sword at me. I ripped out the knife and prepared to throw it as he swung the blade dow-

Suddenly something flew by and crashed into his sword from the side, and sent his weapon to the ground. He snarled and looked in the direction of where the weapon came from. The laughing sounds stopped and I noticed that all the gnolls stopped and were looking in the same direction as their leader. I looked over and saw a gnoll in an torn red skirt, iron breast plate with some armor strapped on his arms, and a longsword in his hand. A gnoll swung his weapon at him, but he smacked the weapon away with his longsword and stabbed the gnoll through the neck. Gnolls near him immediately turned, raised their weapons and attacked him. The one gnoll stretched out his hand and I saw something fly from the left, into his hand and he swung the weapon into a gnolls face, sending teeth flying. I saw that it was a warhammer with a spear head tied to the top of the warhammer, and from the damage he was doing to the other gnolls, he clearly knew how to use it. Suddenly other Gnolls backed off, and the leader started speaking in weird barks and growls again and the others turned back towards us.

"I will deal with the traitorous Klarr." The gnoll leader muttered as he got off me, grabbed his sword, and walked to the gnoll, who I guess Klarr was.

I snapped back to my battle as a gnoll tried to smash my skull, but I rolled backwards, and as I got up, I sliced open his throat. Another ran at me with a battle axe raised, and I drew a throwing knife and was about to throw it when something hit it and caused an explosion. It rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire, and I put it out of its misery and I saw that Jamada threw one of his bombs. The red circle around him was starting to get bigger and his breathing was beginning to get slower.

"No." I muttered, and I ran forward to see if I-

I came to a stop as I heard a loud roar and I turned around.......Desna weeps. Standing over the two serpentfolk was an massive red dragon. I could feel the heat radiating from it and it roared out into the hoard, and the gnolls screamed in fear and ran over each other a they ran away from the massive dragon.

"Desna weeps I knew they were powerful, but...."

"Damn cowards!" I looked over and saw the gnoll leader yelling at the others running away. I noticed the other gnoll, Klarr, run up and swing his warhammer, but the leader grabbed the warhammer and flung the gnoll away. He flew threw the air but but managed to fix himself and landed on his feet between me and the dragon. The leader looked up at the dragon, grabbed a spear from a dead gnoll, and threw it at its eye. I though that the dragon was about to scorch him, until I saw the spear fly threw the dragon, and it suddenly turned misty and disappeared.

"Your illusions might work on them wizards, but they won't work on me." He yelled as he advanced forward. "No matter. I'll kill you all myself if I must."

He charged forward and the other gnoll Klarr, ran up to meet him and they smashed their weapons into each other, and created a shockwave that blew sand in my face. I wiped the sand out of my fur and face and saw them swinging their weapons at each other, but the gnoll leader was slowly pushing Klarr back my way. I couldn't let him get any closer to Jamada, he tried to kill him once and I'm sure he would try again given the chance and I wasn't about to risk that, so I grabbed my daggers and ran forward.

The leader saw me running up and swung his weapon to try to cut me in half at the waist, but I feel down at the last second and slid underneath him. I got behind him and I jumped onto his back and I dug my daggers into holes in his armor. He screamed in pain and tried to grab me, but I stabbed his hand and he pulled it away. He soon gave up as the gnoll, Klarr, swung his warhammer/spear thing at him and I suddenly heard bones break. The leader growled in pain and continued his fight with Klarr. I looked up and I saw Rattle & Venom next to Jamada tending his wound.

Sure would be nice if they could shot some fire or lighting at this stupid gnoll. I thought as I drove my dagger into one of his eyes. He roared in agony and I suddenly felt something grab my ankle and I was flung around and smacked into the other gnoll. Pain shot through my body from the mere force of the blow and it sent us both to the ground. My whole body was​ aching, but I forced myself to get up and I made eye contact with the leader and he gave me an angry look with his only eye and he sprinted forward.  I prepared to roll out of the way, when he suddenly used his sword to fling sand into my face. I rolled away, remembering where he was, as I tried to get the sand out of my eyes.

"Now I have you, you traitors dog." I heard him say. I got most of the sand out of my eyes and I looked behind me to see the leader standing over Klarr with his sword raised. I raised my arm and threw my dagger and it embedded into his hand. He growled and as he pulled it out, looked my way and ran towards me. I looked towards Rattle and Venom, who have been watching, and I saw Venom get up after helping Jamada treat his wound, and I saw him rase his hands. I got ready to roll out of the way as he came charging, when the warhammer came into view and smack into his chest piece. A crack appeared on it and Klarr came from behind the gnoll and swung again and the surprised gnoll at his chest piece, again and again, causing more cracks to appear on it. The gnoll tried to defend himself, but Klarr was moving to quick and swinging to hard for him to react until it broke suddenly, and Klarr used the spear head to stab him in the chest, right where the heart was. He stood there for a moment, before strangely enough, Klarr lowered him to the ground gently and locked eyes with him. They then began to talk to one another in their language, and it almost sounded like the gnoll Klarr was sad.

"I knew you were never one of us." I heard him whisper. "I should have killed you long ago." Then his eye closed and his breathing stopped. Klarr got up, pulled out the spear and looked at me, then to Rattle & Venom and the wounded Jamada.

Jamada.

I ran over and the first thing I noticed was that his eyes were closed and that he wasn't moving.
