I apologise that the combat rounds are causing some delays and headache, just dealing with them as a newcomer.</div></div><br/><strong>Nessra &amp; Mandy</strong><br/><br/>Facing the sea-demon that was trying to shake the spear loose or snap it, Nessra could see Mandy's spell come to completion nearby, the fire-dancer holding a ball of flame ready to toss it. As the flame was in the air the sea demon was growling though, blood dripping from the open wound as it tried to reach the combatant and her knife before it.<br/><br/><strong>Marcia</strong><br/><br/>Rushing up ahead towards the creature attacking Nessra and trying to slip past Valdar and his companion, Marcia could spot the 3 'older' sea-demons in the water moving. One of them raised a metal disc of some sort in the air shaking it. Loud racket rose to the air seeming to alarm the 2 still standing sea-demons already on the shore.<br/><br/>The two other sea-demons in the water were chanting something, seeming entirely focused on whatever it was they were trying to pull off.<br/><br/><strong>Valdar</strong><br/><br/>The sea-demon was still recovering from the brutal blow it had suffered in its first attack but with a glare it turned to face the man again and this time chomped at him with eerie accuracy. Teeth reaching for the man past the arms and the weapon, the sharp, rending teeth closing in and biting down for blood. The predatory glare in the sea demon's eyes suggesting if it could have pulled the leverage to do so it would have torn a chunk right out of him.<br/><br/>It was Valdar's fortune in that instance they were on land and not in the water. Given the strength this thing showed with its teeth, it could have been a truly fierce foe in its home territory.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Critical hit, but in this instance not a very impressive one. It got past his defense automatically (as a critical hit) but the damage was hardly spectacular (compared to some already seen). Valdar suffers 5 points of hp damage to the torso.</div></div><br/>(( The introductory combat scene should be over quickly though, given the sheer amounts of damage dealt out, not 1 of the sea-demons ashore is in a real fighting shape anymore. ))
