The optimist in you hopes that Oti has some kind of plan in mind for the enraged devil about to bathe the room in hellfire–it ain’t much, but it’s enough to keep you from tackling him to the ground and shutting the portal down!
Drawing the<span class="mu-s">MAGICAL SHIELD</span> you got the last time you went apeshit in a fight, you take position in front of the gate… if you’re lucky-
Err, Volka? You might wanna step back.
“Huh?” Stammers the scaly soldier as if you’d just woken her from a nap, “Oh! Right! Silly me!”
… if you’re <span class="mu-i">LUCKY</span> you can reflect whatever the heck she spews at y-
“<span class="mu-s">RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGHHHHH!!!!!</span>”
A gust of white-hot air heralds the arrival of your favorite hellspawn, not that the primal roar didn’t help, of course! Bursting forth from the portal shrieking like a cat at the vet’s office, Rezzie wastes no time bathing the chamber in hellfire! While Volka and Tzah-Tzie manage to dart out of the way, you remain smack-dab in the middle! Oh <span class="mu-i">JEEZ</span>...
They might be flames, but they hit your shield like a very hot <span class="mu-s">TRUCK!</span> Feeling your knees buckle at the sudden force, you grit your teeth and put every muscle you have into holding firm against the fiery blast!
“<span class="mu-s">You malodorous MEALWORM!</span>” Snarls the devil as she continues to spew flames all over the room like a very confused fire hose, “<span class="mu-s">You tried to TRAP ME! I’LL TURN YOUR VERTEBRAE INTO A NECKLACE FOR THAT!</span>”
Just when you thought she was getting tired, Rezalith kicks the flames up to 11! Stealing a glance at Oti, you listen in horror as he continues to intone… <span class="mu-i">something!</span>
“<span class="mu-s">GRIND YOUR FLESH INTO PASTE! SQUEEZE YOUR EYES INTO PȂTÉ! PLAY JUMP ROPE WITH YOUR INTESTINES!</span>”
Your legs grow weak as you feel the heat work its way past the shield and into your hands… you try to hold firm, but the shield starts to slip…
>CONTD.
