I give this game permission to continue. I've emailed the two that are left and they will hopefully respond before Wed. evening. If no reply by then, I'll remove them from the game at that time and we'll advertise for replacements.
THIS GAME IS OPEN as of now!
(but those two cannot post until they reply to me AND get their backgrounds in)

The Manfri grab you and begin wisking you foeward chanting and humming again. Amazingly the grass seems to part before you allowing you to pass, then tangling back up behind to confuse the chase. The Rapke soon begin to fall behind a bit again. The feeling of wisking through the grass at full speed is amazing. you have never felt as comfortable in the grass as you do right now. Even with death hard on your heels it is still an amazing feeling. Althogh soon you will run out of energy and not be able to run. Within the next 10 minutes the pace begins to be too much for some. Some of you begin to stumbble. Breathing comes hard. Stiches in sides and even the Manfri seem to slow. Suddenly from over head a bounder lands on a young Manfri woman who was lagging. The entire group turns to see the beast. Tiem seems to slow as you take in the horrid details. The face of the beast looks like some sort of demente cross between a frog and a bull dog. Three rows of teeth sit in the huge mouth. the Mouth itself is about 3 feet wide. Heavy armor plates overlap down the beasts back wich is also very frog like. The Front legs are thinn and small but long ending in clawed hand like things. Each capable of grasping and minipulating tings and each claw razor sharp. The hind legs are huge and shaped much like a giant Kangaroos. The entire beast is about the size of a pony, and suddenly you realize that this is just a baby. The flow of time jolts back into the world as you watch the beast lean over ripping the poor Manfri's back open with the shore forclaws. the beast seems to enjoy the screams of the girl. Then with complete finality the bounder leans down and bites the girl in half. The sicking sounds and sight are enough to make the bravest queezy. Everyone seems awstruck and stunned still. Then with amazing power the front half of the gril rises its head. The Manfri face covered in blood and barks a word at the group. Its meaning escapes you but the shear force of power of it shakes you from your daze. The Manfri to are shaken from it as one they shout at you all in one voice. "RUN!" The last sight you see as you turn to run again is the upper half of the Manfri womman being torn apart in a tug of war between two bounders. Her last word still hangs in the air forcing you into action. Her scream still echos in your ear.... "RUN!"
Milo d20=11 Tuesday February 11th, 2003 12:15:40 PM
choking back puke and tears, Milo forces every ounce of strength, and will, and takes off running. everytime he starts to falter he says to himself: she said Run you fool. and that seems to give him what he needs to get back on track.
(disregard d20 roll, meant to hit something else)
Trellus Tuesday February 11th, 2003 1:24:53 PM
Horrified, Trellus turns and runs, all the while keeping his grip on Gilan's arm. Silently he curses his armor's weight, curses his impotence in the face of the monster, curses Malgo, curses Galafar...
Soon, he doesn't even have the energy to do that. "Don't think, Run. Don't think, Run. Don't think, Run.......
Anuk Tuesday February 11th, 2003 5:48:19 PM
Stunned by the immense power and agility of the creature, Anuk is terrified but can't seem to look away. When the manfri woman screams, his sense of danger and self-preservation returns. He draws on all the strength he has, turns and runs with the group.
Sterlin Tuesday February 11th, 2003 7:33:06 PM
Along with his two spiders, Sterlin runs faster than he has ever ran before. He is filled with sorrow for the death.
Grymash (bulls strength, shield of faith, expeditious retreat) d20+3=22 Wednesday February 12th, 2003 12:39:06 AM
Grymash continues to run as fast as he can. He strains to keep going. (Constitution check 22, to keep going) If the manfri begins to slow down, he will pick him up if he lets him. He hopes the manfri does, so then the manfri could concentrate on continuing his spells.
Catching a glimpse of the bounders Grymash is reminded of the brutality of the orcs and tries to run even faster.
"RUUUNNNN!!!"
Jacob Wednesday February 12th, 2003 1:19:21 AM
Jake just concentrates on following after the others, too tired out to say something witty, like the others. One foot follows another, then again, then again...his breath comes out in shallow gasps...
Gilan Wednesday February 12th, 2003 1:24:13 AM
Gilan watches with wide eyes as the poor girl is ripped in two. He almost loses the contents of his stomache as he turns his head. The last thing he hears is her plea to run and he heads it, though it tears him up to leave her. He runs on trying to sort things out and failing, though he has a flash-back of another disaster that tore him from his old life.
