The fiery ball flew forth fast but unfortunately the 'sea demon' was not where it landed, the burst of flame against the water's surface rising vapor to the air. The sea demons looked at the four already standing and the girl running among the tent trying to awaken anyone else. Some other survivors of the crew sleeping soundly still, others groggily getting up, but they were not exactly the most combat-adept people either. Mostly, they were just hiding behind the group now.<br/><br/>Nessra's shot caught a sea-demon standing up after its move aside trying to dodge the incoming spell, the impact hitting into its skin, showing the bolt draw blood but fail to sink much further than the head of it. Their hide seemed tough, but the almost black blood dripping out of the wound now showed it was far from impenetrable.<br/><br/>"Catch! Rend! Feast!" The closest sea-demon shouted, its shark like grin making the last words end with a clack of sharp teeth hitting together.<br/><br/>The three of them that had come closer to the shore, stepped on the sand readied for an attack, while the three behind them still in the water seemed to eye the group a bit more warily. The three in the water had more scars and bruises showing, along with some sort of colorful markings on their skin, where as the three that were coming ashore seemed to hold no such markings at all.<br/><br/>With a shriek, the three sea-demons started a run towards the group, snarling and taking those first steps, building up speed in their charge. Marcia's move closer brought one of their attention upon her, the feral grin on the face of the sea-demon one of confidence bordering on arrogance.<br/><br/>Valdar was seeming to be getting the attention of the one leading the charge, alongside the dancer. "Kill man, and women be easy!" Shouting again the sea-demon there seemed confident on its idea of tactic.<br/><br/>The last of them, with a bolt yanked out of the wound and dropped into the sand while it was running seemed keen on getting even with Nessra, jaw wide showing her what would be her last sight if that thing got its way.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Each of the sea-demons moved up 6 yards, closing to 14 yard distance to where the group started, they seem to be building speed so they'll likely be in close range fairly soon. The characters will have their chance to make a guess at that. Going to just call them SD 1, SD 2, and SD 3, of which SD 3 has suffered harm from Nessra's bolt. <br/><br/>At present time, Marcia is closest to them, and SD 1 in particular. The 'leftmost' of them, from the group's point of view. She's only got 8 yards distance between the two of them right now. <br/><br/>SD 1 is going at Marcia. SD 2 seems to be headed for Valdar and Mandy. SD 3 seems to have set its eyes on Nessra at the time.<br/><br/>23 yards away, in the water, 3 more marked-up sea-demons/sea-devils seem to be observing but not making any gesture of joining the first 3. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>If Valdar wants to move please let me know within a day or 2, please. Also, waiting to hear from Jefepato, hope he joins along in the first round. After 2 days tops, I'll just push for 2nd round. You're free to already write your choices for the second round here, but please understand my wait for the reply from our 2 players for the next 2 days. I'll not let absence delay game that further but given how I was gone earlier on real life issue, I think I owe them the same consideration.</div></div>
