As Oly finally gets up, The bear swipes at the demon, damaging it again, but less effectively this time.
The As Sharak swings at it with his scimitar, cutting a long slash in the bear's midsection.
Bruce roars, and clars it again. Both are badly injured






[Private to narrator: bear has taken 12 damage cutting (post DR etc, the As Sharak has taken 18 points of effective dameage (and like 14 of ineffective damage)]

In reply to bear (msg # 588):

Angered at seeing her friend hurt, Aoife throws all her tiny fury into this lightning bolt. It is accurate, and hits hard...

[Private to GM: Rolled 14 under skill to hit, maximum damage this time! 10 Can lightning aim for Vitals or head? Given the situation, she would if she could...]

Ardenas repeats the words and gestures he previously completed, then opens up with a big grin as he points the shuriken at the frosty cat demon and releases it.

[Private to GM: 18:19, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 3 using 3d6.  Winged Knife, roll to cast (12).  Crit!  No fatigue cost, any other happy things?
18:21, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 7 using 3d6.  Winged Knife, roll to hit (15 - range).
18:22, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 2 using 1d6.  Damage, cutting.]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 589):

you can aim the lightning at its head!  also, any crits on casting get rerolled to see if there is a secondary crit.  (different table if you have weirdness magnet)

The demon is not stunned, but is pretty angry

In reply to Narrator (msg # 591):

I didn't think 7 was a crit, even with a skill of 21? She will hit him in the head if she can! This should reduce his ability to attack next round!

OOC: the casting crit was mine.

[Private to GM: 05:04, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 10 using 3d6.  Winged Knife, roll to cast (12) (reroll after crit). Nothing special. I guess.]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 592):

Ardenas (who had been the one to crit) nails the creature in the back with his shuriken!

Oly flexes his muscles and moves his long knife around a little to ensure he is limber... then turns toward the demon.

Ardenas readies a crossbow quarrel as he glances at the other fallen to see if they might have had silver(ed) weapons.

Mancini takes another stab at the demon with his rapier, figuring it could serve as some sort of distraction at the very least.

(Ooc:10:40, Today: Mancini rolled 1 using 1d6.  Damage.

10:39, Today: Mancini rolled 13 using 3d6.  Rapier 13.)

Oly steps up behind it ,ready to dodge if it turns to breathe on him and again strikes at it's neck, aiming to hit the same spot he had before and hopefully get to something vital.


[Private to GM:  10:10, Today: Oly rolled 7 using 3d6.  Knife Swing at neck wound.  Skill is 18 - less whatever mods you wish to apply
10:10, Today: Oly rolled 14 using 2d6+2. ]

In reply to Oly (msg # 598):

the moster is cut deeply in the neck, but does not bleed. It ignores the attack and swings at the bear with its saber - the bear takes a huge cut, and staggers back. It looks poorly.

Frustrated, Oly shoves his knife in where the vitals should be.




[Private to GM:  13:00, Today: Oly rolled 9 using 3d6.  Knife Thrust. Made by 7 anyway
13:02, Today: Oly rolled 4 using 1d6+1 impaling.  Knife Thrust Damage. ]

Quarrel in hand, Ardenas repeats the gestures and words he spoke previously, then releases the quarrel to fly at the cat demon.

[Private to GM: 19:23, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 13 using 3d6.  Winged Knife, roll to cast (12).  Shadowspear's blessing makes that a success.
19:24, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 7 using 3d6.  Winged Knife, roll to hit (15 - range).
19:25, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 5 using 1d6.  Damage, impaling.]

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 601):

Oly' is startled to see that it has no vitals, and seems to ignore the attack. A moment later, Ardenas' magically launched bolt strikes it, and it collapses, twitching.


[Private to Narrator:it is at -3 hp worth of magical damage and will be dispelled with 15 more; currently unconscious]

In reply to As Sharak (msg # 602):

Aoife moves up, moving her hands to ready her staff which starts to crackle with electricity, touching the thing just to be sure.

Then she checked up on her friend Bruce...

[OOC: Are we out of combat now?]

[Private to GM: Cast Shocking touch (9 under skill) attack with staff, 6 lightning damage, probably can ignore staff damage...
Major Healing for Bruce, 4 points of healing.]

Whad zord of demon wuz  dad?  mozd zeem do ad leazd die when zeriouzly wounded, dis one juzd zoaked up hid afder hid.

"I've never seen anything like that.  It's as if it were just solid flesh, instead of made up of muscle and bone and blood and organs like a man.  Or a bear."  He glances aside at Bruce and winces.

Ardenas approaches the twitching thing and pulls out his quarrel, then pushes the point into the creature's eye and strikes the butt with a fist to drive it through the (presumed) bone, into the (expected) brain.


[Private to GM: Presuming roll to hit not required, under the "automatically dispatch unconscious foes" rule.  Damage below:
22:47, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 6 using 1d6.  Damage, Impaling .]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 603):

The demon twitches as the electrified staff strikes it, and when Ardenas tries to manually stab it with the quarrel, it appears to do nothing to it!

It appears to be badly damaged, and its pupil is blown.


Anyone have demonology?

I can do it as a Wild Talent. To go along with the exorcism schtick...

In reply to Mancini (msg # 607):

Make a roll!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 609):

Aoife does not have much in the way of demonology...she is a druid and they are far from natural!

But she will shock it again if it keeps moving! Where has our demon hunter gone?

[Private to GM: She rolled 7 under to cast, 11 points of shocking (burn) damage, does she need to roll to hit?]

Seeing the lack of effect from the quarrel, Ardenas punches the creature (with a silver knuckleduster).

[Private to GM: 08:32, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 9 using 3d6.  Karate (punch w/ silver knuckledusters; 15 + helpless opponent).
08:33, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 6 using 1d6+1.  Damage, crushing (silver).]

Mancini has a sudden flashback and remembered something his father said about demons....

(Ooc:
16:04, Today: Mancini rolled 9 using 3d6.  Demonology (via Wild Talent vs. 13).)
