The paladin's fierce attack catches the hellhounds by surprise, who were expecting her to back off if even momentarily. Her arcing slash cuts clean through the smaller creature, chopping its head off and sending it spinning into the air, flying. The cleaving strike also cuts deep into the side of the larger fiendish canine, that squeal in pain and hatered, pulling back and attempting to flee the clearly far more powerful woman. Despite its wound, the large dog-like monster still had quite the power left in it, allowing it to escape quickly. Pursuing it could be a risky move for Evelyn and if she couldn't take it down from a range or somehow catch up with it, it was likely it would get away.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the near victim of the hellhounds, the now naked woman was sobbing and curling up into a fetal position where she lay, shaking and in a helpless state, somewhere between having lost her mind and being paralyzed by a panic attack.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Second hellhound is dead and the third is badly injured. On its turn, the last enemy will use disengage and move 50 feet with its move away from Evelyn and towards the center of the city. Unless Evelyn can catch up with it and attack, or take it out, it will dash on its next turn and disappear behind the cover of buildings and alleyways, as it has no wish to fight Evelyn any longer.</div></div>
