Jolly lands a devastating on the demon, catching it right in the gut. Flaming blood gushes out of the jagged wound her lance leaves, fortunately it extinguishes quickly and is an oily black ichor by the time Jolly gallops by.<br/><br/>Less fortunately, the demon seems intent on returning the favour. It wheels in place and chases down Jolly. For a moment, she is fearful she is going to be bull rushed through the still open portal to the Abyss, but the demon swings at her wildly instead. The first thrust of its flaming blade catches her in the belly. It is deep cut and Jolly can feel the flames burning her flesh. The second swing clangs harmlessly off of her armour.<br/><br/>Misfortune plagues Sheen as well. She rushes to catch up to the advancing demon, striking at its swords hand, but its grip on its weapon is solid, and Sheen drops her rapier instead. At least she didn't get stabbed for her trouble. Fortunately, her antics distract the demon long enough for Barik to slide in next to her and deliver a crushing blow with his club, smashing the demon over its shoulder. The beast still stands, but it has clearly buckled under the combined weight of Barik and Jolly's blows.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/31/Screen_Shot_2019-01-06_at_11.30.28_AM.png)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OCC</div><div class="spoiler_body">So the first roll for the demon was a natural 20 that failed to confirm the critical hit by a measly 1. Lucky Jolly, who takes 9 regular and 2 fire damage from the first attack, the second is a miss. <br/><br/>Unless I missed something, Narissa has yet to act, so it is her turn now. <br/> </div></div><br/><br/>
