The duty to live

[Anastasia]

Yet Alicia parries the sword with ease, far less fearsome than before. As she blocks and counters it back?

Init is Alicia (Supreme) > Balors (39) > ??? (33) > Marie (32) > Sulia (30) > Dust Demons (26) > Antenora (23)

Whatever ??? does isn't obvious. Marie.

[Ebiris]

Marie sticks with a tried and true formula. Missiles for everyone!

Missiles for everyone indeed. They strike hard and true, peppering your foes with impunity. No fatal strikes, but you hit well indeed as...

That it for Marie?

[Ebiris]

That's it.

Init is Alicia (Supreme) > Balors (39) > ??? (33) > Marie (32) > Sulia (30) > Dust Demons (26) > Antenora (23)

Sulia holds her ground as the balors come, the charge stopped. It lets her cast uninterrupted, as a radiant storm of light rakes over the demons.

Great blasts of light rake the demons, a radiant storm of raw fury that bursts several of the minions that follow. All that comes in response is a great storm of dust and wind, one that loses half of it, resisted by your spell before the winds batter you harmlessly. At the same time the emerge, coming forth but not quite making it to you, advancing in a great, meandering horde. The closest few approach you and...

You can AoO if you want.

[Ebiris]

No AoO this time, saving it for nasty seeming spells.

Ow.

Antenora surges otu from behind her walls, a blur of gold, blue and white as she slams into the balor line that assails Alicia. One of the balors, half blinded by Sulia's magic, tries to block, but the Black Horn Spear slams into its chest and its world explodes outward, violently.

None of you can fail the save, so no point. Sulia evades and you and Antenora take half.

43 damage. Antenora will heal you up with divine succor for 110 points of healing.

In the aftermath of this there is one balor less and...

Go.

In one wave of violence you thin out the wounded horde, a great swash torn asunder. Your size holds triumphant as demon and dust are rent away, torn apart by your blade.
