The creature lashes out at Zanthus as he stands, but again his armour protects him from the long claws. His longsword connects with the creature, but it's skin seems extra tough, at the blade has difficulty biting through it.<br/><br/>Bryanbar, Anevia, and Lysia manage to stay upright and balanced, while Horgus and Aravashnial tumble to the ground. Aravashnial shouts, "What is going on?"<br/><br/>Lysia replies, "It's a mane, a type of lesser demon born of petty cruelties during one's lifetime!" A she speaks, she launches a ray of frost at it, but the Mane is completely unperturbed by the magic.<br/><br/>Anevia notches an arrow and fires, hitting the demon, but no blood nor cut appear where the wound should be. The Mane then shifts its attention to Idise, tying to crack into a less well armoured foe. It brings both claws to bear, trying to rip away the oracle's throat, and biting at her face, but Idise is able to either deflect or dodge all of the attacks.<br/><br/>The entire time, Horgus whimpers in the corner.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">occ</div><div class="spoiler_body">The dice are liking you today.
