[quote="Antion"]Antion will push his way through the guards (excusing himself politely as he goes) to get a better view of what is going on. Antion makes sure that Korum stays behind the guards. Antion will try and position himself so that he can see what the bowman is aiming at.[/quote]
As Antion moved around the soldiers, and to the doorway, he saw the man with the bow nock and shoot another arrow. A little ahead of the man with the arrow, he saw another man charge into the room with a spear. Farther inside the room, he saw some desperate looking soldiers. And all attention was on the monstrosity they were all fighting. A huge creature seeming to be made entirely of burning coal stood in the center of the battle. It's eyes were burning white hot holes. A crack showed in it's broad chest where oozed steaming magma.
Owl loosed his arrow at the Demon. The creature moved with incredible speed to attempt to dodge the trajectory spinning it's way. It wasn't completely successful. The arrow glanced off it's shoulder, sending burning sparks through the air. Then the creature grabbed one of the soldiers nearby and
Meantime, Barton charged in with his spear and attacked fearlessly. His weapon struck true and the ex-seaman felt the shock of impact. It seemed like his spear just bounced harmlessly off the rock-hard substance that made up the body of the demon.
[OOC - The demon is taking two actions this round. Splitting his pool, he gets: Dodge - 8, Thrown attack - 7 (the soldier as weapon). Owl, taking his full action as shooting his Oricalcum bow, he gets his 11 dice again which is more than enough to hit, beating out the dodge attempt, and he does 2 more levels of lethal damage to the demon.
Unfortunately, he also gets pummelled by the soldier that was thrown at him. His soak is Stam + Buff Jacket = 6, the body thrown at him does 8 - 6 soak, so 2 levels of bashing damage get through to Owl.
Barton's attack hits the demon, who is not dodging him (only the arrow). However, Bart's damage pool of Str 3 + Spear 3 is not enough to get through the demon's powerful soak score and he does no damge.
Next turn Antion can join the battle. Owl will, however, be spending the next turn getting up and regaining his breath]
