Turn 40: Heavy MeleeKill both demons attacking HmH.
[1][2] vs [1][2] You ineptly flail at the demons attacking Nathan. They ineptly stumble out of the way.
+1 SwordFix the enchantments on lightning rock-thingy, so it allows RNG out intact.
[5][Luck 2] Realizing attempting to fix it completely would be difficult, you try to prevent it from sucking him in further. You're certain you get the enchantments right, but it refuses to take effect; perhaps it's been warped by the lightning or its own excessive chain reaction.
+2 EnchantFire Seeking Seeds at the demons. Lots of Seeking Seeds.
[4][Luck 4] You hurl a large number of seeds at the demons, which fly true and burst open upon impact. Soon the entire front line is entangled by your writhing plants.
+5 Plant5 demons entangled.Draw all the water I can and use it to make a cascading wave of icy death.
[4-1][Luck 6] Despite the storm's strength, you can't muster up quite as much water as you'd like. What you do manage, however, strikes with hurricane force, freezing the front mass of demons solid.
+6 Water8 demons frozen solid, five of which were entangledStorm dies down somewhat.New Spell: Icy DeathCure Moderate Wounds on Nathan
[5+1][Luck 4] You overchannel your healing, restoring Nathan fully.
+4 HealingNathan now Healthy.Summon a squad of angelic grunts to hold the line against the demons
[6-1][Luck 1] A squad of five angelic soldiers descends, seeming bulkier and squatter but otherwise similar to the guardian. With a trumpet call, they swiftly engage these foolish mortals that dare consort with demons.
+6 SummoningHostile angelic grunts summoned.New Spell: Summon Angelic GruntsI cast poison bolts at the healthiest looking Demons!
[1][Luck 4] You fling magical poison two feet in front of you. It dissipates harmlessly.
Have a mental breakdown and sob hysterically.
[2][Luck 2] Your sobbing has a decidedly whiny feel to it, despite being fairly reasonable. (Resist 6) On the bright side, you manage to resist being tugged in any further, tugging futilely at the iron grip on your arms.
begin scribbling a bunch of runes of clingings onto a lot of pieces of paper. Through the papers all over the field ahead of us.
[5+1][Luck 6] You scribble page after page of sticky runes, hurling them in front of you. They all stick together as they fly, resulting in... uh... a chain of sticky paper?
+4 RunecraftingNow wielding whip of sticky papers.With Nathan's flight, the demons near Tarran surround him.
Tarran: [2][6][5][6] vs [5][4][5][1] The first's flailings just carry it through Tarran's sword easier. The second leaves a slash across his arm, the third exchanges expert parries with him, and the fourth brings a two-handed slam into him from behind.
Tarran takes serious damage, now Heavily Wounded.One demon slain.The demons who aren't frozen solid continue their advance, the wave of ice having conveniently frozen over the brambles.
One fills the gap left by Tarran's slain attacker. [1] vs [5] Its battle strategy seems similar, however.
One demon slain.The remaining demons split up and assault Flagro and Ochita.
Flagro: [6][6] vs [2][1] Flagro screams as the demons mangle him, clawing and and biting his unprotected flesh.
Flagro takes critical damage, now CRITICALLY WOUNDED!Mangled ArmOchita: [3][6][1] vs [6][6][6] Ochita dives out of the way, rolling for quite a ways before coming up. Two of his attackers collapse into frosted chunks for some reason.
Two demons slain. What.The angelic grunts fan out to dispatch these foul demon-worshippers.
Seymore: [1] vs [4] You slash the treacherous summon as it swipes at you with its short, broad blade.
Fre: [3] vs [2] One of the angels gives you a minor cut.
Icebrawl: [5] vs [6+1] You slam the angel upside its helmetlike head with your trusty bucket.
Dwareet'ik: [4] vs [4] Your snapping and nimble dodging keep the angel's blade at bay.
Nathan: [5] vs [6] You handily avoid the angel's assault.

Well that was interesting. Paranatural's gone missing again, so I'll assume he's busy and he'll slip off for a while.
