These things were faster than she'd expected. Delphine's claws sliced through the air, in crackling arcs - Gouging deep into the ghoul's form, as she *pulled*! Weird, pale flesh gave way beneath her talons, ichor spraying as it sheared in half - Both halves continuing to twitch for long moments, as they crashed to the ground!<br/><br/><em>First blood,</em>the lovely Eidolon thought...Her lovely features contorted by the primal glee of combat! Her pulse hammered, as she felt Cedrik's magic course through her - Her claws cising with sparks, as she whirled to face the next attacker.<br/><br/>Delphine's nature was a solitary one - She'd never fought as part of a group, or a pack. The closest her experiences had come to it was when multiple weaker predators attacked a stronger one,<em>en masse</em>...But even then, none had any true loyalty to the others. The general chaos of the fight on all sides was alien to her...It was all she could do to focus, wary of anything that might be coming at Cedrik-<br/><br/>Her momentary distraction cost her. Claws slashed her arm, a shallow wound - Delphine snarled and riposted, lightning-fast, raking at the pallid creature's face! But she could feel something insidious in the wound that'd been inflicted...Something that stiffened her muscles, that threatened to lock her in place!<em>Poison,</em>she thought - Momentarily glad that she hadn't actually<em>bitten</em>into one...She didn't want to think what that unclean flesh would do to her!<br/><br/>"Don't let them touch you, Master!" she called out...Her blood running cold! One touch could mean death - She had to slay these things, as quickly as possible!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Die Rolls!</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Fortitude Save!</strong><br/>Roll(1d20)+4:<br/>12,+4<br/>Total:16<br/><br/><strong>Claw Attacks:</strong><br/>Roll(1d20)+8:<br/>13,+8<br/>Total:21<br/><br/>Roll(1d20)+8:<br/>18,+8<br/>Total:26<br/><br/><strong>Damage:</strong><br/>Roll(1d6)+4:<br/>5,+4<br/>Total:9<br/><br/>Roll(1d6)+4:<br/>2,+4<br/>Total:6</div></div><br/><br/>Fleetingly, she wondered how the others were faring - If they were anywhere *near* as resilient as she was! But for now, all that remained was to fight on...Before their paralyzing touch told!
