Aria's unpracticed shot flees right between the slasher and Eldariel. The bolt passes close by the elf's face before shatter on the floor. Eldariel steps back (more so as not to get shot than anything) and drawing his elven blade sets himself in a ready stance should his enemy advance.
Vixtrin fights off the sudden erg to vomit and stps forward to bring her chain into range of the creature before it can strike again. The biting and sting bugs prove to much and her chain barely gets close. Zeke on the other hand smashes the slasher hard on top of it's single eye drawing blood.
Galyne approaches and gets into the fight (at possibly the wrong time). He raises his axe and the slasher lives up to it's name catching him across the leg before moving quickly and spinning. As the creature spins it raises a few of it's legs holding out the razor sharp appendages.
Eldariel strikes at one of the legs cutting it a little, even as he dodges out of the way. Aria doesn't dodge the blow but luckily her magics protect her.
