Yes. I’m guessing he’s not too far up?

“Little late for that!” Kanei begins swinging hoping that the constant shaking will

Callen is now booking it to try and intercept Iosif as he falls, he tries to find a good gap to jump towards the boy and act as a brake to slow their descent so they don’t end up going splat upon reaching the ground.

He also tries to shoot down the Gore Kanei is hooked to.

Iosif has hit the ground. The Gore was pulled down by the added weight, and dropped him to stay aerial. He was only a few feet off the ground when he fell.

At this point in time, yes. You’re about 4-5 feet off the ground.

Callen moves to see if Iosif is okay. He is breathing hard as he slows down, that throw seemed to take a lot out of him.

Kanei drops and transitions into a roll.

The Verdant Paladin tucks in the air and hits the ground rolling slightly. The fall knocks the wind out of him for a moment, but he swiftly recovers and gets up of the ground, trying to regain his bearings.

Pulling the blade out, Hereward surveys the area for any other approaching monsters. He looks to see if Holland can get up, provided the Gore collapsed on the man. If it’s evident that Holland needs help getting up, and no monsters can come soon enough to be a threat, Hereward sheaths the sword. Keeping the sunstone up to further ward off their enemies, he uses his free right arm to help pull Holland out from the monster.

“Get up!” He grunts.

Kanei quickly stands up and tries to get his grappling hook back from the gore’s wing by pulling on its rope.

Iosif bites the fall hard. Even though he only dropped a few feet, the cage altering his weight and Iosif’s natural horrible ability to take a fall left him with a likely bruised hip and a scuffed hand. He gingerly felt the outside of his glove to see if he was bleeding.

Even on the ground Iosif backpedals away from Callen. The mysterious peddler had appeared to threaten Iosif before, having shouted at him, approached him armed, and attempting to grapple him, and the events of his ‘rescue’ hadn’t gone to reinforce any confidence. So iosif crawled backwards, his cage scraping the ground beneath him, desperately trying to stay out of sword’s reach.

Before Callen’s approach Iosif almost seemed to tear up from the stress and the impact, but now being afraid was primary on the schedule.

Iosif, a man steps over you and reaches out his hand. He mutters, “See? A liability.”

Eldon is short and stocky, but well-muscled. “Tough fall, kid.”

Callen lays down all his weapons and takes a knee in front of Iosif, keeping several feet from him.

“Forgive me, I have been alone for so long that my skills of communication among those I work with have become reduced to nearly nothing; I pray your forgiveness.” He says, still trying to catch his breath.

Iosif took Eldon’s hand with internal songs of gratitude. A familiar face was the sweetest medicine in a panic like this.

“K-keep him away from me.” Iosif hoarsely blurted out as he struggled to his feet, immediately stepping back from Callen. “Keep him away.” The sounds of the Gores’ screeches were still ringing through the air, but for only a brief moment they seemed to dim in the grip of the master veteran.

Which reminds me… Where in the world is Ritae?

“If that is your wish.” Callen says as he gathers his things and walks away from Iosif, putting as much distance as possible between them as he could.

“Hey! can I get some help over here? It’s the least you could do!” Kanei shouted as he continued tugging on the rope. the melodramatic tug-of-war game was perhaps the saddest thing you had ever seen, it might even be tragic enough to be made into a stage play that would be titled: Drunk vs. Gore

The Verdant Paladin hobbles over to the group. That fall did a number on him, and his leg was definitely broken. He holds his remaining axe up in preparation of any potential attacks while he makes his way to representative Vaughn. “Are they gone?” He asks everyone.

Vaughn turns away from discussing with his aide. “For now. Any idea what made them leave?” And then, noticing your leg, calls for a medic.

With nothing else distracting you, you are able to bring it down.

Callen, without any visible emotion approaches the creature and wrenches the hook out of it before retrieving the bolt, wiping it with a cloth, and returns the ammunition to the quiver it came from.

“Thank you.”

“Ugh finally!” Kanei brought his sword down towards the creature’s head. he was glad to finally get rid of one of the many thorns in his side.

Callen only nods stiffly as he turns to face Kanei.

He goes to look for the Alliance Representative Scane to return the crossbow and quiver, muttering quietly under his breath as he does.
