A wyvern: The creature sqeuls as the dagger slams into it's belly. The sudden pain made it flinch, avoiding Ishtars attack. It staggered about for a second trying to reach it's wound with a leg, before turning it's attention to those that caused the pain. It's jaws head for Ishtar, while it's tail is used to attack Aten, the tail itself wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the poisones sting at it's end. Both attacks fail but their purpose were not to hit. Using the time gained the wyvern pulls back to the larger part of the cave hissing something...

"Beast of the dark! Feel my wrath."
In a single stride, Aten leaps into the air, trying to grab onto the beasts neck.

The wyvern screeches aas Aten jumps on it, it screches louder when it feels steel enter it's neck. It's reply is not subtle, it merely slams upward in a succesful attempt of crushing Aten on the cave cieling, before flinging the bloodied and dazed form to the ground.
Ishtar: 2 wounds Aten 4 wounds, stunned (post after my next one)
Wyvern: Wounds: IIIIIIIII Confidence: IIII

ishtar hurriedly runs towards aten and carrying him to a corner of the cave unseen by the wyren, places him against the wall out of the wyren's view, after which he too leaps at the wyren's neck, holding both his knives in a 'x', slashes at the wyren, hoping to dislodge it's neck.

Another wound is opened and the wyvern pulls back, attacking with it's tail. Ishtar manages to avoid it, but not the blow from the wing that sends him flying back. The Wyvern however does not go after you, he backs off, near the cave entrance and hisses.
Ishtar: 3 wounds Aten: 4 wounds, no longer stunned, dazed(you see double)
Wyvern: Wounds: IIIIIIIII Confidence: II

Aten staggers before falling down again. His neck had nearly been broken. He tried to ignore the searing pain in his head as he crawls away from the beast.

The Wyvern moves it's head out of the flung daggers flight, but is caught by the other. It hisses as another is opened. It shakes off Ishtar who lands with a thud on the rock floor. The Wyvern however has lost the will to fight. It slithers to the cave entrance and, spreading it's wings, leaps off before soaring away though it does not fly far, you can still see it though its only a small speck. The quistion is, do you grab the reliquary and run towards theGrand Marshals castle, or do you first see if their is anything of value in the cave...

Aten proceeds towards the reliquary. Out of curiosity, the man reached out with his fingers to feel the sacred casket.

The reliquary seems warm to touch, surprising as it is evidently silver. A slight vibration passes through Atens arm and he feels... better. Though still bloodied and briused he stops feeling the pain. Ishtars quick search does not bring much, there are a few coins. The armor and weapons that litter it are either rusty or belonging to the fallen cultists. In the heat of battle one did not notice it but now you see clearly, the weapons are foul. Dark metal with the only decorations presenting leering deamons or humans seemingly in pain. Stamped on almost all of them are runes, uninteligable to your eyes though if you look at them to long your eyes begin to hurt and water. Ofcourse it is difficult to search the entire cave in such a short time though one should remember that this is the Ras Kar forest, even if those twenty are dead than others may be in the area...
Of-course its up to you if you leave or continue the search...
Aten: 3 wounds Ishtar: 3 wounds found: 3 gold...

Aten slowly tries to pick up the reliquary.
"Ishtar! I could use some help here!"

The reliquary isn't to heavy as you lift it down the slope. But fatigue takes it's toll and soon the reliquary becomes heavy as you trudge through the forest. The sun is setting ever lower and, to mke matters worse, you can hear a drum sounding in the distance. After a while the thudding of the drum is getting annoying, and you can hardly hear anything else. The drum beats seem to be coming from every side untill you hear something else coming up, the sound of numerous heavy things hitting the ground with speed coming from in front of you...
