Pierre and Zathyran looked at the divergent corridor for a moment, then at each other and shrugged. Pierre headed to the right and the mage followed him. On either side the mirror showed their reflections as they reached the end of the corridor, where a ball floated above a pedestal. Pierre touched it and the way they had came from was suddenly blocked by a wall, but another path opened... onto a dead end. Pierre touched the orb again and things were back the way they were. Either this way was incorrect, or they would have to split up.
In the basement, Malleus was already preparing a spell. As the first demon appeared, he launched a pair of icicles at it... (-4 MP. 6+2 vs 6+2 [5+2 vs 7+2]. 8+2 vs 3+2; Massive Success, 2d6x2; 22 damage) The demon dodged the first one, but the second impaled him in the stomach. Growling, he fired back at Malleus, launching a ball of lightning! (8+3 vs 7+7) Malleus held his shield up, and the electricity crackled along it with passing through. The second demon was still emerging, and Alora moved to smack it with her weapon... (7+2 vs 2+2; 8+2 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50%; 24 damage) ...and struck it solidly in the head! It ignored the bleeding wound as it flew from the gate to attack Claire! (1+4 vs 1+2; 6+2 Massive Success, 2d4x2 +3; 13 damage)
It struck her solidly in the chest with its shoulder and drove her back, smashing many bottles of wine and the rack containing them with her body before backing away a few steps to get enough distance to charge again... giving her a chance to escape! (-2 MP; I'm assuming you're using one shot? 5 vs 2+2; Major Success, 2d6; 9 damage. 4, so entangled, 3, loses three defense for two rounds. 5 vs 6+2-3 [8 vs 2+2-3]; 7+4 Critical Success, 2d6x2+75%; 25 damage, 34 total) She rolled away, shooting the first Thunder Demon in the arm in mid-dive, then came out of the roll with a slash from her cutlass as she passed the demon, opening up a large wound along its side!
In the other tower, Frenz was thinking about the situation. (3) Nothing came to mind. He was used to the life of a nobleman: hunting with his peers, meeting beautiful noblewomen at court, drinking the night away, occasionally fighting... not trapped rooms devised by lunatics in a demonic castle ruled by the most powerful vampire to ever exist. (6; 6+2) Biernat moved the shield. Nothing was behind it. In frustration he ripped it completely off the wall! (Biernat gets: Tepes Insignia Shield! It's made of red metal and seems fairly sturdy. +1 to defense with no movement penalty.) Greenmoore, meanwhile, got ready to fend off the hands as they came for him and Frenz... (Greenmoore defense: 6, so +1 to defense this round. G: 1+3 vs 3+1 [2+3 vs 2+1]; Major Success, 2d4; 5-2=3 damage. Bleed effect; Greenmoore loses 2 HP for 2 rounds. Frenz loses 1 HP, recovers from bleeding.) The hands tore at them! Greenmoore tried unsuccessfully to fend them off and received a few ragged cuts along his forearm; Frenz got his whip out and clearing the area around himself very efficiently indeed.
Meanwhile, Tariq was desperately searching for the answer. (7) He saw it: under the chair was something. Rails, maybe? It would bear investigating... but right now he couldn't do so because the mechanical hands formed a solid wave between he and his target! (Alex interception: 2+1 vs 8, 1+1 vs 7. Both attacks target Tariq. 5+3-2 vs 6 [4+3-2 vs 6]. 2+3-2 vs 8. 2 HP, bleed effect ends) The watchman was well prepared from his experience with dealing with unruly mobs, however, and with great agility dodged their every grab and punch! Alexander, meanwhile, had dropped to all fours and began his transformation as Tariq was doing so... (-3 MP. 7 vs 2+4; 6+7 Critical Damage, 2d6x2+125%; 50 damage. Hands lose both attacks next turn.) With a bestial roar, the giant wolf jumped into the midst of the hands. His massive claws were a blur as they tore into the vile machines and threw them aside; his fangs clamped down on one going for his throat and crushed it before he tossed his head and flung it against the far wall.
If Tariq was going to try anything, now was a VERY opportune time.

Grimmjow: Originally my idea for that ability's (take no damage on a turn you choose) second evolution was to be able to do that and attack the same turn, but... would you prefer it if instead the second evo instead added a 'distraction' element where enemies would have to roll to hit their target if it wasn't you? (Like Malakai had.)
Taricus: You have three 8s and a skill-up. ^^^
