[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 4628378, member: 29098"] COMBAT, round 5 The demon steps away from the savage axe of Ragnok, lunging to Coraine's side. Without his shield to defend himself, the fiendish creature is able to again draw the knight's blood. More insidiously, more of the fire leaps from the demon's skin and up Coraine's arm, adding to the flames already burning there. Luckily for the knight, Dara's magics continue to protect him. Trevor moves away from the centipede in order to flank with Dara, and attacks the priest again. [color=darkorange]"Centipedes be given to eternal torment! I WILL see your fall, wicked priest!"[/color] His blade skirts harmlessly off the man's armor. The hot oil still burns Dara's flesh, but she can feel the hot, slick substance cooling quickly. Despite her favorable position, Dara too has trouble injuring the High Priest, despite her powerful attack. Quicker than she would think, he catches her sword upon his shield. He glares at her, then steps back yet again. As he moves, he brandishes his warhammer, and turns to strike at Trevor. The soldier ducks the swing, just before the hammer would have removed his head. The black and red centipede, its faceted eyes glowing with hellish fire, again surges forward, biting at Trevor. Its mandibles clamp down hard, and Trevor falls beneath the unslaught. His blood pours out onto the ground, the chamber spins around him, and the light begins to dim... [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Cold steel it is!"[/COLOR] Kurt says to himself as he sees Trevor go down. Knowing that Verdis has the demonic centipede targeted, the priest of Hieroneous moves and attacks the high priest with his longsword. His aim is sorely wanting, though, and as the priest dodges the strike, Kurt's blade nearly slams into the wall. Blood from his lips turns into acrid smoke as fire enshrouds Coraine. [color=yellow]Come now! Strike! Your false gods will never triumph![/color] He thrusts with another double handed chop, then readies his shield for the inevitable. This time, the power of his blow manages to cut through the enemies armored hide, drawing blood...or rather dark ichor which leaks from the demon's body, and bursts into puffs of flame before it can reach the ground. Flames shroud Coraine's sword and hand, further eating away at the knight's protections. 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. He strikes, but Norryjar is turned by the creature's armored body. Struggling to adapt to the changing tide of the battle, Verdis shifts his aim to the big bug. He tosses another [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1899231/]blast (1d20+9=24)[/url]. His aim is good and he hits the bug [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1899237/]squarely (3d6+1=11)[/url]. The centipede writhes in agony, but remains standing.
