As Amun went to carry the Hel to the cage, he paid a little too much attention to the bird and not nearly enough attention to his footing. So his boot slipped on a patch of wet rock. Arms windmilling (incidentally tossing the Hel into the air, where it made its merry escape) he fell backwards, slamming his head on the ground hard enough to split it open.

Although he felt no pain, he was temporarily dazed. Even though his wounds were already healing, he found himself reacting instinctively. His hand closed around a rock and he tossed it without much aim towards the birds high above. As he did, Nate showed up and asked what they were doing. The potter let his head flop to one side to stare at the doctor. "We are trying to get the Hels into that cage." Amun let his hand wave vaguely in the direction of the cage.

Rexanna's efforts would similarly fail, though thankfully in a much less spectacular fashion. Her firework went just wide of the birds, which called down to her almost tauntingly. However, the Hels celebrated a bit too soon, as the arrow Wessex loosed took one cleanly in the wing.

With a squawk, it plummeted to the ground, injured and stunned (much like Amun was). Meanwhile, the bird Sam was holding pecked and wiggled enough that it managed to escape the bookmaker’s grip. However, even it was surprised by this development and it landed on the ground, hesitating long enough for someone quick to grab it.



There are two Hels on the ground, one of which is injured. The flock is even more agitated, though it is still circling above. Amun attempts to throw a rock at them.

Amun's attempt to put the bird in the cage resulted in him slipping and cracking his head open.

"Looks like you're doing a good job of it." Nate snarked in response, though his expression was surprisingly sympathetic. He glanced at the birds above, then at the one that was wriggling it's way out of Sam's grip. Well, he was, here, he might as well help. He stepped in just as the hel freed itself from his ex's grasp, reaching down to catch the bird off guard.

If he was successful, he'd keep one hand wrapped securely around the birds neck, hopefully enough to keep him from getting pecked at in a similar fashion. "You really gotta work on holding on to things Sam." He said, the words light enough to be a tease if he was talking to anyone else. The realization of how it would come across hit him a moment later though, and he turned on his heel, trying to hide the slight wince.

Nate's arrival immediately drew Sam's attention away from the bird in his hands, likely why it was able to escape with only a few wiggles and pecks; he studiously ignored the nod in his direction, casting his eyes to the floor. He was content to leave his interactions with Nate there until the man felt the need to make his comment, the words immediately punching him right in the chest and before he could control it, he snapped back: "Some things aren't worth holding on to."

Distracted by Nate's presence and demotivated after his continued failures, he only tried to pick up a rock and toss it up at the bird above them, but not with too much heart in it - he doubted it would succeed anyway.

Does she have to do everything herself?

With a sigh at the bumblings of her siblings, Wessex lets loose another biopulse it may have magically grown in radius since she traded in MP during the course of this PQ to stun the Hels that are already on the ground. However, a biopulse is something the Wraith need not give much attention to. It’s a reflex, sometimes. Hopeful that they’ll be able to now stuff them into a cage, she nocks another arrow and aims for the squawking birds, trying to bring down a third with another well-placed arrow.

You okay Amun?” She calls, looking over her shoulder toward the Ascended with a slight frown.

If it weren’t for the bird that comes tumbling down from Wessex’s arrow, she’d flash a sharp glare toward Nate for the comment, a glance toward Samuel. But alas, her firework misses and Wessex’s arrow hits – and she can see the demigod nock another into her bow – which leaves Rexanna available to try and grab the stunned bird. So she darts forward, aiming to grab the bird in such a way that binds its wings and close enough to the head of it to keep from getting pecked as well – not like it would hurt if she did. If she manages to catch it, she’d do her best to put it into the cage as well.

Wessex's biopulse was well-timed: both the Hels on the ground found themselves stunned. That made it easy for Rexanna to grab one and stuff it into the cage. However, although Nate was able to get a firm grip on the other, he'd made no move to put it in the cage so he just stood there holding it hint hint: put it in the cage next round.

However, their projectiles failed to bring down another Hel. Wessex's arrow grazed one, which squawked in outrage, but kept flying. Shockingly, given Amun's disorientation, his rock came close to hitting one. Sam, however, perhaps because his heart wasn't in it, missed terribly.

Seeing this, the potter growled in annoyance. "I'm fine," he told Rexanna. It came out short and clipped, and he raised his right hand and fired a flash bang straight up, hoping to knock at least one of the flock to the ground.

It seemed like this was a comedy of errors in a lot of ways, plenty of things going wrong; it made Sam feel a little better about his own bad fortune at least, as another attempt at helping went awry. With a sigh he turned to see what could be done and his heart sunk as he realised he could only think of one thing to do.

Well, being the bigger person was probably some kind of revenge.

Walking to Nate without a word he placed his hands on the Hel too to help him keep a hold of it, then nodded to the cage. "Let's get it in."

Nate couldn't help the laugh at Sam's returned comment. It was the only way to keep from biting back something truly nasty, and turning this into a fight. He was surprised when Sam came over though, grabbing onto the bird, enough that he just nodded quietly, and walked the hel clasped in both of their hands to the cage, stuffing the bird in along with the other one.

Something told him just two birds wouldn't be quite enough to satisfy Amun's requirements, despite the hassle of it. A quick scan around confirmed there were no more helpless birds, so Nate did what the others were and grabbed a rock, throwing it into the flock with all his might, ready to run and catch something if he felled it.

She manages to get one into the cage and with a quiet sigh of relief, she nods to Amun as she hears him mention he’s fine. A flashbang goes up and no more Hels reach the sands beneath them, and she purses her lips in a small amount of frustration, raising her palm up again and shooting another small firework up to try and blind and disorient the birds once more. She aims it in the same direction as Amun’s flashbang, hoping perhaps the double crackling of it might be enough to drop another.

Though she's prepared to hop on one if it manages to reach the ground, to grab another to stuff into the cage.

Well, it was worth a shot. Wessex growls to herself, but then birds are tricky, unpredictable jerks. All birds are, to some extent.

Rather than trying the same thing over again, Wessex discards the bow and arrows for a nearby net. Lucky for them, the port city has a lot of nets lying around! Amun throws up his flash-bang and Rex sends up a firework, so the Wraith waits to see if they hit one (or maybe two?), ready to throw the net onto anything that might tumble out of the sky. Anything.

Luckily for the bickering ex boyfriend's, Nate has no trouble getting the Hel into the cage this round. That was about the only thing that went right: Amun apparently severely misjudged the height of the birds, as his flash bang went off well under the flock, and Rexanna's firework went wide again. Therefore, despite Wessex standing by to hold the net, there was no Hel to capture.

Thankfully, now that two of their members had been captured and were mostly out of sight, the flock actually seemed to have calmed a bit. Growling, Amun scooped up another rock. Taking time to aim more fully, he threw it at what he hoped was a likely target.



There are two Hels in the cage! Just need to capture one more somehow.

As he and Nate succeeded at stuffing the Hel into the cage, everyone around them failed; Sam wondered if there had been some kind of curse laid upon the Ascended with how badly this seemed to be going...or maybe they were just all having one of those days. He certainly was, with his mishaps and the appearance of Nate.

Stepping away from his vile ex the second the bird was caught, he looked up to the flock. Well, he supposed there was nothing to do but try to help again. Picking up another rock he threw his after Amun's, hoping that at least one would hit.

The bird he'd been holding was taken care of, thankfully meaning Nate could take a step away from Sam, the other man's resentment all but rolling off him in waves. He took a few steps to the side, then knelt to grab his own rock, hurling it into the flock at an angle. Perhaps the change would improve their luck, give him a better chance of hitting something.

Regardless of whether he hit anything or not, his attention immediately shifted to the ground beneath the flock, ready to move if a bird fell from the sky. Nate couldn't say he was hopeful though, given how this was going in the short time he'd been around.

Honestly, she has no idea what’s going on. Firework after firework misses, and she hisses a small amount in her frustration. This time, she reaches for a different kind of magic – reaching for a flickering flame of the exploded firework she’d shot up earlier, shifting a small amount to focus and concentrate on perhaps distracting a Hel into chasing the flame down toward the ground where they could pounce on it.

She's running out of options, but it's clear she's incredibly frustrated now by the way these hadn't quite worked the way she'd wanted them to. Internally, she makes a quiet note to train and practice it more, hoping that might make some sort of difference.



Rex uses her fire magic to try and make something that might entice the Hel to follow it to the ground where they can grab it or knock it out!
