Righteous Fury on one of the hands, attack the legion demon with my sword.
[5] [(4+5)x2=18 damage] As you cast your spell towards one of the demonic arms you can feel the weight of righteousness crushing down on the impure appendage. Soon the arm crumbles and turns into black ash and drifts away with the wind. [6] The weight of that righteousness does not help you against the Legion Demons who parry and dodge your blows skillfully.
Shoot whichever hand Frelock leaves and if I miss make sure to rush it with the sword before it can react.
[2] You try and shoot at the arm with your pistol, however, the arm presents a much smaller, more erratic target with out a body to attach itself to and you miss. [6] Running forward you try to attack it with your sword, however the arm just grabs your sword and with it's grip holding steady, tosses you backwards away from it.
Shoot the demon horde and try not to die.
[1] You try to shoot at the Legion Demons, but you can't even see straight you're so close to death, you elect to curl up in a ball and try to avoid different ways to die. [2]
You've managed to avoid drowning and you announce that much to everyone who can hear you.
(Why are you the butt of most of my jokes so far?)
Toss Malgun one of the tears of Pentiant, then, Scream with fury, and spin around, slashing as I spin, aiming to hit the spine demon who shot malgun, in the back of it's neck.
[6] You toss one of your Tears of the Penitent right into Malgun's hand. "Use it in good health." You say. [4] [6+2+1=9 damage] With a swing of your blade, you loge your blade into the back of the spine demon. As it catches on fire it whirls around and faces you. It's claws fully extended and it's mouth unhinged ready to shoot spines at you. Maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
"DON'T DIE ON ME!" Cast Heal Wound on Ochita before dragging him behind some cover/a building. Try to figure out a way to regain some mana.
[autp-fail] You attempt to cast heal wound before realizing you completely skipped over that spell for the more effective Lesser Healing Hand. D'OH! [6] You do however manage to drag Ochita away towards the market district in between two relatively safe looking buildings. [2] You try to regain some mana, but it's no use, it looks like you'll just have to wait for it to return the normal way.
If I catch the tear of the penitent, use it. If not, try to grab it from where it fell, then use it. Either way, once that's done, it's time to retreat to the market, where I'll look around and see if I can find some healing potions or something to make use of.
[3] You pop the Tears of the Penitent into your mouth and you feel the poison be neutralized in your body. [1] You think about heading to the Market district, but you can't drag yourself away from the battle.
Consuming Shadow, appear behind Spine Demon 1, Attack Spine Demon one, first with the longsword of courage, then with Constriction.
[4] "You gon' drown in ya' own blood." says the troll pointing at the Spine Demon as a shadow seemingly appears out of nowhere and hides the troll from sight and then disappears, the mysterious Troll gone as well. [5] [(6+2)x2=16 damage] Appearing behind the Spine Demon the Troll step up from behind him, blade in hand and slices through it's dislocated jaw and throat. Gurgling, the Spine Demon tries to turn around to face the deadly foe. [3] [7/2=4 damage] Mana begins to flow through the old trolls body and forces what little air remained inside the Spine Demon's body out as it's lungs fill with blood. The Troll walks up to the now nearly dead Spine Demon. "You not be comin' back from 'dat." As he places the blue gem on the Demon's body as it suddenly disappears and the troll appears to be a bit healthier, and younger now.
Enemy TurnsZombie Army [4+1-3=2] The zombies stand around beating against the stone gate ineffectually.
Spine Demon 2 [3] [(6+2-2)/2=3 damage] Raising it's clawed arm the Spine Demon slashes down towards Khan, it's claw strikes through the iron chain and pierces Khan's shoulder, thankfully it doesn't penetrate through the bone though. [1] As the Spine Demon pins Khan down, it begins preparing to unleash it's spines at point black range. Before it can however, Khan manages to knock the demon off of him and into the ground. Getting back up, Khan prepares for the demon's next assualt.
Demon Hand 2 [2] Rushing towards Flintus, the Demon hand attempts to grab him several times, but Flintus manages to use his superior reflexes to parry each attempt with his sword.
Legion Demon Horde [2] [5] [(4+4-3-2-1)x2=4 damage] The Legion Demons again engage Flintus in combat. Once again Flintus manages to deflect one of the attackers but the other manages to score a hit yet again, freshly reapplying the same poison. At this rate Frelock will fall.
