The demon is not afraid of the half-orc and despite geting poked by the ranseur keeps coming with it's assault. She hovers in his face taunting the warrior, "We thinks your mother must have been a goblin."

Eponine will grind her teeth and strike back at where she thinks the monstrosity attacking her is at.

Eponine knows the creature is in front of her and gives a gentle jab with her blade pricking it on the body somewhere.
Unable to see squat, Victor stabs into the space he thrust at last time with his mighty dagger.
Wren swings her dagger at the monster that is apparently caught between herself and Epi, before again trying to head toward the light of Sophy's crossbow.

Victor and Wren both swing their weapons in the air trying to hit something...anything but all they find is empty air.
Sophy remains in the other room leaving the rest of the group in darkness still.
Brock moves 5' diagonally SE from his current position, fights defensively and pulls out Victor's shortspear and tries to stab the quasit.
AC 15; HP 19/19; light on crossbow
You fail to stab the demon as you move away from the spawn creature. The poison continues to burn in your body sapping your energy.
On the catwalk bridge, Eponine tries to evade them but can only avoid one of the creatures nasty claws. The creature in front of victor unleashes a viscous attack with its claws. The warrior tries to evade but seems to duck into each blow. The demon screeches and the flapping of its batlike wings can be heard.
She rakes at your face with both her tiny claws but only one breaks the skin. Again the damage is light but you can feel the heat of the poison.
You swat at the demon, but she is too quick for you this time.
No it is correct, there are creatures facing both Eponine and Victor. The one infront of Epy hit with one claw for 4 pts of damage. Saddly, the one in front of Victor tore him up with two hits and a critical. That puts you at 0 hp and makes you Disabled

Victor screams through his teeth in pain as he gets ripped to shreads. He then takes another step to his left, hoping to avoid another one of those creatures. Be careful of your thoughts, Victor. They always come back to bite you.
Wren's rage had began to bubble back to the surface at this whole situation. We should have ran when we had the chance! She kept swinging at the monster while it was apparently pinned between she and Epi.

Brock curses himself that he concentrated his last attack on the flying queen and left the blind Victor to fend for himself against the spawn. "Screw this fighting like a coward, your spawn dies now!" He takes a 5' step and thrusts the shortspear into the spawn's ribs with all his might. He then takes a menacing look at the imp-like creature.

From curses to poisons to diseases, there are a number of afflictions that can affect a creature. While each of these afflictions has a different effect, they all function using the same basic system. All afflictions grant a saving throw when they are contracted. If successful, the creature does not suffer from the affliction and does not need to make any further rolls. If the saving throw is a failure, the creature falls victim to the affliction and must deal with its effects.

In the darkness Eponine's blade slashes through the air. Victor steps left trying to stay away from the nasty beast that is about to slay him. Wren stabs back at the creature that she thinks is facing Eponine and plunges her dagger into the back of the spawn. Then the room is filled partially with light as Sophy moves back closer to the prison cells.
Brock disappears into the darkness plunging the spear into the spawn creature. Victor thinks he recognizes the sound of the creatures body falling dead to the floor
The spawn on the catwalk spins and lunges at Wren, screeching in pain from the dagger wound in its back. Wren is now dripping blood on the dirty planks of the bridge. With the return of the light the demon blinks out of sight.

Finally seeing the creature silohuetted before her, Eponine takes advantage of the suddenly revealed position.

Seeing the light, Victor deems it safe to stay where he is and not move. Safer for me and my party I am thinking.
Eponine's eyes adjust to the arriving light as quickly as her rapier drives into the back of the creature. It falls down dead, tumbling over the side of the catwalk to crash on the ground below.
Victor stays put to avoid hurting himself or anyone else, still in the dark as he is.
"Brock, bring that thing over here to the light. That's our only chance of taking it out!" Wren moves over nearer Sophy, clearing the area for her to bring the light back where it could be of use.
"Yeah!" Sophy shouts angrily over the edge of the catwalk to where the spawn lies on the stone floor. "That's for coming back from the dead and biting me, you freak! Now where's the little flying b%%%*?" She shoves past Eponine, bringing her light to bear on the room and looking for the little queen.
Victor's eyes go wide from the language coming from Sophy's mouth. Great. Now this flying little demon has possessed her. Great. At least now I have some new guilt for me to live with. I was not sure how I was going to cope with just my current guilt.
Wren moves down the catwalk and into the hall where Sophy has the light, but the normally diminutive woman barges out onto the catwalk unusually wrathful. The fills the room revealing the dead corpses of the spawn creatures, but the tiny demon is nowhere to be seen.
Finally being able to see clearly again, Victor notices that all the spawn creatures are dead. "Did we win?" He asks as he's covered in a multitude of scratches and more of his own blood, his broken bow in one hand, the dagger in the other.
Brock readies an action to attack should the little imp appear again, screaming "Cowardly bi*ch, run and hide! Brock has killed all of your spawn and he's coming for you!"
Hearing Brock's tirade, being quite akin to Sophy's, "Apparently not." He concludes.
Blood flowing from several wounds, Eponine points back the way we came.
We know where she'd go. Back to that altar. We should confront her before she can gather together any more of those creatures that we had to slay.
"That's a stupid idea," Sophy responds harshly. "'She and her monsters have almost killed us, so let's go back where they all spawn from and keep fighting till we're all dead!' We're finding Ameiko and getting the Nine Hells out of here!"
Stupid is plunging your friends into darkness when they're fighting for their lives! This thing will continue to hound us while we search for Ameiko. What do the rest of you say?
vs.
And speaking of that, Sophiiiiiiiie. Brock purposely drags out the pronunciation of her name, as he walks toward her. You run on us again, not compelled by magic, leaving us in darkness, and you will have to deal with me! Brock towers over her, ranseur and shortspear in hand, making it clear he will have no quips about running her through with either weapon. If you're going to run, leave the light source!
And to rest of you, now that you know we have someone who is spooked so easily, carry your own light sources! that way, we avoid this problem.
With that, Brock starts walking toward the altar room.
Brock yells at the air threatening the little demon, but nothing happens in return. After a moment you all feel as if the demon must be gone or remaining very still and quite.
Eponine and Sophy start to argue and Brock makes it very clear he is unhappy with Sophy for leaving the room.
The wrath sickness lasts a total of 4 min. Let's round the combat to one minute so only three more minuets are left. One of them passing with this post.
As you watch Brock move to confront Miss Sophy you suddenly become aware that the two creatures on the catwalk are starting to stir.

"Oh, so you'd be fine if I stayed here and got killed as long as the light stayed on my broken, bleeding body!" Sophy snaps back at Brock. "Well, forgive me if I don't jump at the opportunity to die for Sandpoint! Sandpoint killed my father before I ever knew him, Sandpoint and its damned obsession with rustic carved birds killed my mother, and now Sandpoint asks me to walk down into a hole with a bunch of brain-dead 'heroes' who aren't smart enough to run away from something that they can't hurt while it kills them! Well, screw Sandpoint! And screw you! You want to die down here? Go ahead, but I don't intend to!"
