Re: Dark Eyes, Cold Hearts - The Blunted Blade
The devil-demon advances cackling a hollow coyote laugh. The barbed tail raised and it's claw out in front it moves in short twitchy bursts towards Hraal. With a cackle of glee it raises it's claw, only to have the barbed tail shoot under the raised arm hoping to trick it's opponent. Not tricked by the feint Hraal dips his broadsword in time to deflect the wickedly barbed tail.
With a guttural howl Viktor grabs his Lymorian Axe and charges forward at the snake-man thing that pushes it way through near him. With a mighty swipe he moves to take off the head of the abomination, only to have the snake-man lean to the side and swat the axe blade with just enough force to cause the mighty blow to miss.
Rael draws his dagger and backs towards the center of the hemi-sphere in an attempt to let those who are better suited for in-close fighting such as this the room they need. In an attempt to hinder the demons as they press forward from all sides he kick-slides a few chairs in their general direction in hopes of tripping up the attackers, as well as clearing open an area for the rest of the party.
The Lizard gorilla chatters as it steps through the fog. setting it's eyes on Corvus, and his well groomed visage, it spittle's a challenge at him as it takes off in a knuckle enhanced charge. Stopping a few feet short the two mighty arms raise into the air in an attempt to bring both down on Corvus's face. In a valiant effort to get out of the way Corvus attempts to dodge but is still clipped by the downward swing for a glancing blow.
As a chair slides in front of the "porcupine" it slowly hops around as if confused. It appears to be looking for something. The chairs and the lack of something to do is obviously aggravating it.
If it were not for how quick Corvus was, the blow that does connect tells him that he most definitely would have been paste. As it stands it was only a glancing shot, still able to recover he rolls off to the gorillas side and thrusts deep towards it's flank. The gorilla is unable to react quick enough and takes a small score on it's own flank as retaliation.
The snake-man demon is able to deflect the attack meant to lop off it's head. It retaliates by whipping it's tail around in an attempt to snare Viktor's wrist binding his actions. Viktor, noticing what was about to happen, loosens the target hand from the weapons shaft and deftly snatches the whip tail out of thin air. With an evil smirk Viktor quickly does a single wrap of the tail around his hand. The snake-man, for as much as it is able, gets a "worried" look on it's face as it's see's the evil intent in Viktor's eyes.
On assessment of the situation Spooky quickly slips one of his bags to his side and rips open one of the numerous side pockets from his rather outlandish satchel. Without much hesitation of searching he grabs a hand sized T with an extended "head" out the top. He thrusts this strange item before him and proudly proclaims "[Language unknown: Ekst hourpr we Ckreha rutforrut roica]!" as a snear crosses his lips. The ostrich howls a stuttered, throaty honk in response to spooky's challenge as it lunges forwards towards the silent masked man. With an almost raptor like screech it rears it's long neck and snaps the razor beak towards Spooky. Off set by the garb, the shiny object, and the chairs that had appeared near it's feet the ostrich demon stumbles and is unable to land a successful blow as it pulls back it's attack in order to maintain it's footing.
The cyclops demon barrels forward through chairs and other debris with an obvious attempt at bear hugging the nomad. Arms out wide it lunges attempting to get past the spear is it is being brought to bear. The arms clamp down but are unable to get a firm purchase, The spikes however do scrape loudly against the wooden armor leaving etchings in the tailored wood. A near miss if only because of the armor.
Eclair stands and draws her sword as a chair goes sliding by her towards the demons emerging from the wall. Using the advancing chair as cover she takes advantage of the slow gait of the blob as it has made her it's target. Trusting to the side of the chair, she is able to make contact with the blob. As she pierces the skin a spray of fluids fly from the incision. She thinks to herself "Nothing good ever comes from something like that" as she dodges to the side. The spray hits a nearby table leg, which promptly begins to hiss as the wood begins a slow decomposition.
Scrambling back to his feet in time to untangle the spear from the chair's and other debris that the shaking and heaving have cause, Khazim is able to trust his spear into the cyclops demon shortly after dodging his own friendly hug. The spear digs deep and thick multi-hued ichor streams out. The cyclops howls in agony as the spear finds it's mark. With heavy breath he calls out in disgust at the sight of the fiends; "By the Lords of Chaos, I didn't expect this to be the kind of barter intended!"
Regaining his footing from the heaving and shaking as the "Solid" foundation rocks like a ship on the seas he is able to deflect the tail trust in the nick of time. Hraal counters with a quick inside thrust from his own broadsword after the deflection. However due to the location of the original parry, the demon is able to bring down the claw that it had originally used as a distraction and batted aside the blade in a shower of sparks as iron hard nails scrape against the serrated broadsword.
The blob continues to slither towards Eclair with as much malicious intent as a blob can muster. Multiple appendages are half formed and re-absorbed into the mass as it "claws" its way across the floor. The floor behind the blob has a slight burned appearance to it as a vapor is released from the slightly decomposing trail behind it. 2 limbs lash out in an attempt to bludgeon Eclair. The first appendage goes wide as one of the chairs that Rael had shoved around slides into the path. Seeing the second appendage Eclair quickly slides to the side dodging the second attack.
Wow, never had that many before, this wall of text may be a bit daunting in this situation.
