Moooooo~!
Sorry for the late post! Will definitely be more active tomorrow! >.<
Jeremiah
Crashing into the column, and giving off a hefty sigh, Jeremiah forced himself up and gave off a short groan before adjusting Chiko on his arm, and nodding towards Widia. "Alright! I shall trust these two with my shop, and this trouble-maker! If we are to head to the ship, we just need to head out the back exit of Swampveil, and head a short way east, and we'll arrive at the cavern housing the ship."
Dodging another wild swing from the ogre before it turned its attention towards Vesper, Jeremiah barked back towards Widia, before promptly hurling himself out the backdoor, and knocking a stray mercenary across the face with his mechanized arm. "Come on, we can't waste anymore time, things are getting out of control here!"
The Ogre
Giving off a savage roar as Vesper bit onto the shoulder of the ogre, the creature let out a massive roar directly into Vesper's ears. Despite the immense pain flowing through its veins, along with the acidic saliva decaying its flesh, the ogre refused to stay down as it promptly began to swing its mace onto Vesper, along with trying to grip her neck with its free hand in an attempt to strangle her to death.
"You bring pain, me send you to grave for harming me! Stupid serpent be dead!" spat the dim-witted ogre as it continued its assault on the dragon.
The Vampire Elder
Pain.
That was the only thought that swept the Vampire's mind as Ragnos' blade sliced its throat, before releasing crimson red blood from the wound. The only thing that could be heard from the creature, was an inaudible gagging and screeching sound as blood flowed from the savage jaws of the vampire. As the restraints faded and crumbled from the beast, the Vampire Elder fell to the ground and thrashed about, its limbs and tail flailing around in pain.
Still gagging, and somehow holding its head in place... Ragnos and those nearby would soon see that the wound caused by Ragnos, Uisce, and Zia were healing as tissue and muscles began to force themselves together. It was clear that anything thrown at the creature's way would prove to be ineffective due to its regeneration abilities... but for the moment, it was too busy trying to cope with its throat having been slashed to focus on the targets before him, giving them a rare moment to escape.
"Quickly... Follow the little assassin..." murmured The White Stag softly as he forced his eyes open, and glared at the Vampire Elder. "To the small house... I can use my magic to heal the angel, and ourselves before trying to escape..." Panting heavily, the White Stag raised a hand that began to glow bright green. As he did this, roots and vines erupted from the ground and coiled themselves around the Vampire Elder, holding it the foul creature further in place. "Quickly... we don't have much time. To the house..."

Sometimes, you just gotta do the unexpected to catch the expected unexpected individual who you are expecting.
He struggled to maintain balance after slashing his foe, the weight of the sword and the sudden rush toward him took its toll on Ragnos. Resting his muscles for the time being, he simply looked back. Seeing blood come from the vampire's neck and stain the ground in front of him was very satisfactory, even more after he fell to the ground, squirming. Phew.... While he knew a Vampire Elder would not fall that easily, it gave him the perfect opportunity to strike him while he was vulnerable. I have to kill him while I have the chance.
With this he turned back, brandished his sword and prepared to deal the finishing blows—- Then, after having a clear look on his body, he saw that his wounds were recovering surprisingly fast. Some wounds that were fatal for an ordinary being were being healed in an incredible pace. It was but a matter of time until he could stand again, and Ragnos knew that he would only waste his strength trying to inflict wounds on him. "Shit...", if only he weren't alone, defeating such a foe would not be an impossible task.
"That seems to be the only way left", he replied to the Stag, though his words stung on his conscience, for he hated to draw back agaisnt a foe... And he still had to repay him properly for the pain that he caused him. "Tch, let's go", he grumbled, then drew his sword and left toward the city, more specifically to the house he was instructed to go, expecting the girl carrying the Stag to do the same thing.
"Oh come on big guy" Says Zia as she shake Uisce... however, after getting him out of harm's way there was nothing much she could do for him at the moment. Settling him somewhat comfortably on the floor, she walked over to the window... from which she could see at the distance what happened in the battle.
Alright... gotta go out again. At least the beast seems stunned at the moment Thinks Zia as she heads outside to assist Ragnos and the White Stag.

- Chiko -
Shouts, roars, shattering glass—it was all a stab in Chiko's brain. It wasn't long before the pain became too much, and her world went black.
- Vesper Noir -
A great soreness erupted from Vesper's right shoulder—dangerously close to her wing—from the ogre's club. The pain, though, only made her jaw clench even tighter on its shoulder, letting more poison ooze into the wound. Luckily, another swing didn't hit her again, with the help of Katerina pecking the creature's arm to distract it.
To gain more leverage, her back feet dug their claws deeply into the ogre's hip and lower back, trying to tear flesh away with her teeth as the ogre began haphazardly gripping her neck.
Luckily for her, the ogre ended up impaling its palm directly into one of the spines there.

Widia called out to Jeremiah.
"Lets get out of here, now!"
Katerina and Fenris continued to lunge for the ogre.
The ammount of power comming from the vampire's mouth was the only thing he saw. In a quick movement, Ragnos put his overly broad sword infront of him, to protect himself from whatever it was comming at him... And then, he was engulfed in fire and acid, as well as having his body being electrocuted at the same time, by some sort of unexplainable magic.
The swordman fell on his knees, using his sword to balance his weight. His cloak was completely burned, his skin managed to resist some of the fire, but the acidic breath damaged his clothes and burned through his skin. His sword was almost completely corroding from it, though it persisted because of the bones that made up the sword.
"U... Ugh...". He got up slowly, finding out that his legs were not working as well as he wished they were. The pain from having second and third degree burns all over his body became even worse as he tried to move his limbs. But he had to do something, or else the next attack would mean his end. Can't die here...
Ragnos forced his legs to move, balancing himself on both legs once again. His arms lifted the longsword, readying himself to strike. His gaze pierced through the Vampire Elder, emanating determination and a false glimmer of hope. No, I won't die here....
With a quick motion, he sprinted toward the enemy, swinging his sword toward his neck, intending to use the opportunity given by Uisce to cut his throat while he had the chance. A clear and fierce cut before he could counter, or free himself from the binds. That was his chance to end this battle and survive to see another day.
