COMBAT, round 6
The flaming demon hisses, and strikes with twin claws at the knight. Coraine dodges left and right, and uses his shield to block the creature's assault. The thing hisses again in anger.
Trevor lies unconscious and bleeding on the floor, though the occasional groan escapes his lips.
Dara follows the priest and swings her falchion again, but she comes to realize that this place must be cursed as she misses badly once more. On a high note, the burning oil is no longer scalding her flesh.
The crimson robed high priest turns his warhammer against Kurt, stepping around the cleric of the Invincible One. The weapon clangs against Kurt's shield, and is harmlessly turned aside.
The huge crimson and black centipede surges forward, over the top of Trevor's prone form to attack Dara. The warrior woman is too quick, though, and its ichor dripping mandibles close on nothing but air.
Kurt continues to attack the priest with determination. His blade fails to find a vulnerable spot in the priest's armor.
Coraine slashes at the demon with his blade, and manages to score another minor wound upon the beast's hide. While not a powerful strike, it keeps the demon off balance.
Ragnok sees Trevor fall and lie still, in an ever-widening pool of blood. He scowls at the priest - still untouched, despite the best efforts of his comrades. He looks at Coraine, frowning at the multiple wounds the knight bears. He cannot be everywhere, much as he'd like to be, and every second will count. Making his decision, he steps alongside Coraine and swings again - this time taking more careful aim. Norryjar strikes true, cutting another ragged, deep cut into the demon.
The warlock continues to move cautiously as he tosses another blast to strike the centipied. He is eager to come to Trevor's aid. The arcane energy floats almost lazily through the air, but Verdis' aim is true. The blast tears into the centipede, causing it to hiss and writhe in agony, and a moment later it dissolves into a reddish mist.
