The mephits shriek in surprise and rage as your arrow literally<em>explodes</em>through the smarmy outsider's chest, practically causing the icy creature to melt... and then, like the imps they are, they spring into action. First, two of the mephits unleash some kind of icy breath attack on you and your companions, washing you in bitter cold wind from either direction... but you and Kara managed to avoid the worst of the attack. Unfortunately, it seems like Lily caught the brunt of their attacks, judging by the thick cake of ice clinging to her fur...<br/><br/>From there, two of the mephits immediately set on you with their claws, flurrying at you with their icy nails. Their pretty quick... but you're still quicker, and are able to deflect their strikes with the good wood of your bow. Well, all but one... as you deflect one attack, the other mephit's claws lash out and scrape against your exposed ribs, sending a wave of cold into your chest (-1 HP after DR.)
