Open.

[Iron Dragoon]

Not visible yet? If not, hold action for now.

[Anastasia]

Sure, Perception real quick.

Dolmaya does the same as you hear it - an echoing thump, soft but coming closer. Whatever's head is indeed coming close, as it barrels around the corner. It's a great big, bloated demon, yellow and fat. It's running as fast as it can, a demented grin on its face as it approaches. Hissing acid drips from it as barrels in and...

It's coming your way. Going to take your held action?

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa casts a quick spell!

He made the save, bad luck. Does that negate the halved speed or just the damage by half?

[Iron Dragoon]

Negates speed too.

No need for damage, the HP isn't that high.

Your field of blade momentarily bloodies and slows the demon, but it isn't enough - until it crumples inward and explodes from a bevy of Dolmaya's force rays. She lowers her hand after, as the demon explodes in a small but intense burst, destroying the stone around it but leaving the party safe.

"Scum," Dolmaya says, nodding to you and already heading along.

Both of you had the same idea and it worked out well. Free act.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa turns to help Emily.

[Anastasia]

"I'm fine," Emily replies as you help her, "Are you alright, Alyssa?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Perfectly, excepting the stumbling blocks we keep running into. All we can do at this point is to continue on."

[Anastasia]

"Alyssa, over here," Jarem calls in the meantime, "The demon left something worthwhile behind."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa heads over to check it out and inspect it for curses or traps.

[Anastasia]

Sitting in the blast zone of where the demon exploded sits a large yellow gemstone, roughly the size of both of your fists. It's polished smooth and cut well.
