Maria's plan went off well up until the first bash to the snake-man's head. He was hit hard, but refused to pull away for a second hit, instead sinking his teeth to her leg in a surprisingly swift grasp around Maria's leg with his hands, biting down on the spot. The dagger clinged on its fall down onto the steps but remained there, as the bite of those two fangs could be felt in the leg.<br/><br/>Only the man pulled away screaming in horror, his fangs seeming to become engulfed in the same flames as was present in Maria's strikes. The bite hurt for a briefest instant and was gone already.<br/><br/>The cultists stared in shock and fear, not seeming to be sure what to do.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">You caused him damage, he almost went down, took a quick attack at that. Then rolled for something fun with those two shards so close to one another and the 'maiden sacrifice' knife poked at her with no effect twice now, figured her shard was not amused either.<br/><br/>Snake-head's not gonna be killed by that, but he's sure as hell not biting Maria another time.</div></div>
