Owen, will reverse his course and head back away as quick as he can to try to get out of the blast radius of the incoming attack.<BR>

It tries to <BR>> leap to its feet, but with the dogs Poby and Deem keeping it at bay, and <BR>> its own legs injured, it's all it can do to stay upright. It lifts its <BR>> hands palms outward, though its not obvious what its trying to do <BR>> [Dodge: Natural 20].<BR>> [/Demon]<BR>> <BR>> [GM]<BR>> The shards seem to hit a wall of force and smash into glinting pieces.<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> [Demon]<BR>> The demon laughs. "Better fun now!" it cries as it leaps towards Lady <BR>> Frost in an attempt to tackle her [Strike: 19].<BR>> [/Demon]<BR>> <BR>> [GM]<BR>> Lady Frost is unable to dodge [Dodge: 1 critical failure], and she <BR>> suddenly finds an insanely heavy demon whose skin seems to burn as it <BR>> touches her. Apparently it causes the demon pain too as it roars.<BR>> <BR>> All everyone else sees is the demon and Lady Frost on the ground and <BR>> then there are great gushes of steam.<BR>> <BR>> One of the jets is now apparently in position as it releases a bomb. It <BR>> misses the company by about fifty feet, but the force of the explosion <BR>> literally throws everyone within vicinity [OOC: not Koba, Alex or <BR>> Louissa] back [Damage: 4 SDC]. Another jet is almost in position as well.<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> Aaron Clausen<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Taocowpbem mailing list<BR>> Taocowpbem@zork.net<BR>> http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem<BR> </body>
