Phat Loot Phriday: Arrowflick Gauntlets
When last we left our heroes, Miranda and Throgg split the party to find Abercrombie. The Gilnean and Lolegolas stayed to fight skeletons. The Dungeon Master gnashed his teeth and pulled his hair, but the party remained in separate locations. The DM considered sending a gelatinous cube to kill them all.
"So, that's him," Throgg said. He sprawled beneath some bushes above Darkshire. Even the normally unsubtle orc couldn't believe Abercrombie couldn't see the hiding spot. After all, orcs wielding immense axes and rippling thews aren't know for their stealth. "Abercrombie. The man raining destruction down on Darkshire. And we're going to kill his valkyr."
"Thanks, Exposition Lad," Miranda muttered. She looked much more comfortable under the bush, her chin resting on her forearms. "The thing should be back around shortly. Can't miss her. Big wings, impressive stature inspiring inappropriate thoughts, tendency to raise the dead."
"You're talking fast and using big words to confuse me," Throgg replied.

"Uh," Miranda muttered, "sure. If that's what you think. What's the plan here, big guy?"
Throgg blinked. "Wait, when did I become the plan guy? Lolegolas is the plan guy. I'm the big axe and massive arms guy. Throgg smash."
"I guess we need to stick with our core strengths here," Miranda sighed. "OK. Let's think this through."
The girl was interrupted by a bright, white glow and the unmistakable feeling of being tapped on the shoulder by a sword. Miranda sighed and rolled over, looking up at the floating valkyr behind them.
"How does this happen? How does a glowing woman sneak up in the complete dark? It makes no sense," Miranda complained. "You know, this isn't going to go well for you."
The valkyr didn't respond. Instead, her lips peeled back in a pleased grimace. The creature's teeth shone sharp, pointed like a cat's. Just as it looked as if she was going to speak, an arrowhead erupted from her chest. The valkyr stumbled forward as more shafts flew through the night. The creature fell to the ground.
Lolegolas stalked toward Throgg, vibrating with anger. The orc stood quickly, lifting his hands as he prepared an explanation. Throgg didn't get a word out before the blood elf slipped off his Arrowflick Gauntlets and decked Throgg in the jaw.
