Turning back to the remaining Ranmas, she noticed that the wizard motioning for her to come close. She didn't have to ask twice; something was obviously up and right now standing next to the wizard was the safest place to be. The dwarf had drawn his great sword, and the catgirl had her claws out.
A moment latter eight -things- leapt out from the woods. They paused, observing the band of Ranmas carefully to size them up. They were humanoid, with pig-like snouts for noses, small eyes, slopped foreheads, and broad muscular builds. Their skin color ranged from a dull green to a dull gray, and their mouths were dripping drool from their sharp yellowed teeth. Each had a rusty chain it was swinging back and froth, ready to strike. They were also all completely naked, showing of their oversized equipment.
Nabiki suppressed a shudder. In the real world, she was still a virgin and did not want to think about loosing her virtual virginity to those things.
The dwarf and catgirl made the first move, charging the nearest opponent they could. The dwarf's great sword cut one of the thing's chest open, and Nabiki swore for a moment that she saw the words "150 XP" flash over its head as it died. The catgirl's only managed to wound her target.
The things counter attacked then, lashing out with their chains, two attacking the catgirl, two attacking the dwarf, and one attacking the wizard. The catgirl danced around each strike directed at here. The dwarf wasn't quite as fortunate; though one blow had bounced off his armor, another had struck home, but it was only a scratch to the manly fighter.
The attack heading toward the wizard bounced off a magical shield that sprang up about the wizard with what sounded like a girlish giggle. That chain also changed color to an outlandish pink.
Nabiki spotted the rouge making his attack out of the corner of her eye. He had flanked one of the things facing the catgirl, and stabbed a dagger deep into its back. It practically disintegrated from the blow, turning into a pile of bones and flesh, yet somehow not spraying either Ranma with gore. This time, Nabiki was certain "150 XP" appeared above the now dead whatever-it-was.
She lost track of much of the rest of the battle; too much was happening too fast all around her.
A pained scream drew her attention to the rogue. He'd just taken a pretty good hit from one of the thing's chains, and was bleeding a lot.
Immediately, she started trying to dredge up how to use her healing powers. He needed healing, now. And she'd much rather be have these Ranmas as an owner than be in the possession of whatever-those-thing-were.
