Turn 5: DisarmedNot now! Try to heal self! or if its the fire, try to put that out.
Fire spirit: Keep doing what your doing.
[5] You don't get any worse.
[4] vs [1] Your fire spirit savagely roasts the ice spirit. It's not quite dead yet, though. [5] vs [4] The ice spirit chills the already wounded fire spirit. This is a close battle.
"...You bastard!"
Grab the demon's whatever-stabbed-me and hold it in my chest. Then, cut it off with my sword.
[5+2] vs [1+1] You grip the demon's arm, painfully embedded in your chest, and hew it off at the elbow.
[4] vs [1] The demon screams and flees immediately, vaulting over some nearby rocks before you can follow. Not that you're sure that would be a good idea, in your present state.
+5 Swords-1 HPZombie Flying Monkey Triplets un-impale themselves.
I whip the most wounded living monkey.
[6][Luck 6] The monkey triplets launch themselves off Taric's spear with alarming gusto, gripping a nearby tree.
[4+1] vs [5] You narrowly miss the most wounded monkey.
Try to give Kraken a more defined shape, and order him to attack the monkies also order Shell to cover me while I do so. Then try to get the monkey off of me.
[4][Luck 2] You try squishing Kraken a bit, but it seems he's not so much amorphous as oddly shaped. He doesn't seem to mind being squeezed, however.
[1] vs [4] The monkey's not going anywhere.
[6] Kraken obeys. [1] vs [2] You get the feeling he's lying to you. [2] Shell ignores you.
[2] vs [1] Grendel slashes you lightly in the thigh.
[2-2][2-2][1-2] vs [4][2][5] The monkeys break and flee, gibbering and shrieking in panic.
-1 HP"Dammit, This has gone on long enough!" In a final bid, Gareid raises as large a slab as he can to unite the plant with the dust under it.
[3-1] vs [6] Your ponderous attack misses completely, blowing up huge clouds of dust.
[2] vs [6] You dodge the plant's flaming attack, possibly motivated by your desire to not be on fire anymore.
-3 HPStab things!
[3+2] vs [5] Amazingly, a monkey dodges.
