COMBAT, round 2
The demon closes quickly, trailing flames as it strides toward you. Its fiery eyes are locked on Coraine.
"Burn, puny mortal," it hisses, its voice like the crackling of burning wood. It sweeps its hand toward the knight, but he catches the blow on his shield at the last moment. The heat radiating from the creature's body is nearly overwhelming.
Trevor squeezes between Dara and the wall, and slinks his way stealthily (as quietly as possible) along the north-south wall to BI87, and then he heads southwest to BF89, where he hides and lurks behind the column there. Unfortunately, his skill is not great enough that he can cover such a distance quickly, and remain unseen. While the demon ignores him, caught up in melee as it is, the cleric's eyes follow him the whole way.
Seeing Trevor making his way toward him, the high priest tosses a ball of fire toward the soldier. Despite Trevor's position behind the pillar, though, the flames strike him, burning his shoulder. The cleric the immediately moves into a position behind the massive cauldron, utilizing the great vessel as cover.
"Verdis! The priest!" Kurt directs the warlock's eldritch attacks before he himself casts
Prayer and then moves in directly behind Ragnok.
Side stepping the demon, Coraine waves his sword at the priest.
Harry the caster; I shall strike at this one! Strengthening his resolve, he calls forth the power of his Lord to strike back! His blade strikes true, and with the power of his god behind it, yet doesn't even scratch the abyssal creature's hide. Indeed, the creature's flames leap from its body, and along the knight's sword to scorch his hand and forearm...fortunately, Dara's magical protections prevent him from coming to harm.
Dara moves down the hall preparing to attack the priest. As she moves, the warrior-mage casts a spell to aid her in this task.
Trusting the others to deal with the priest, Ragnok stands alongside Coraine and smites the demon.
"Now taste Norryjar's sharp tongue! The dwarf's attack, while powerful, is slightly slow, and the demon easily sidesteps the axe.
"Aye, I'm on him!" Verdis hurls another eldritch blast, but this time targeting the priest. He watches the demon closely.
I wonder if the scroll of fire resistance and protection would be a better use of my time. He dithers mentally and wishes for a flagon of chilled holy water to toss. His blast manages to catch the cleric, despite the man's best efforts to take cover behind the cauldron.
