Knowing that the mines lay on the other side of town, Erinaye tries to plot a way there across town as she descends the stairs of her former home. She could try to parallel the main road through side streets, or travel directly down the wide open main road. Her thoughts are interrupted as she walks out the door, however, by the sight of a trio of tall, gray skinned humanoid creatures. The lead one gives her a toothy grin as she notices them standing in front of her, only ten feat away.
The creature is not caught completely unaware by Erinayes strike, and manages to save one of its eyes. It roars in pain, and mutters something in a strange language.
Casting: 11 + 11 + 10 - 4 = 27 vs 16 = Success.
Mind vs Mind: 8 + 22 = 30 vs 16 + 14 + 3 = 33 == Erinaye wins.
Erinaye closes her eyes just in time, as a sudden blinding light flashes in front of her, and would have blinded her had her eyes been open. She opens her eyes again to see the other two coming at her with their claws.
Erinaye can hear the crunch of breaking bones as her jumping kick lands, sending the demon flying to the side. The other two demons claw at her again as she lands.
To-hit: 6 + 24 = 30 vs 36 = Miss.
To-hit: 6 + 24 = 30 vs 36 = Miss.
She avoids their reaching claws with ease, getting another opportunity to launch an attack.
Erinayes arm strikes the creature right where she wanted, hitting it in the throat and sending it reeling away from her, emitting choking sounds. It seems to be out of the fight for the moment, at least. Its companion rakes its claws at her again, undeterred.
Its claws rakes across her belly before she can avoid them fully, drawing three long lines of blood across her abdomen as the demons jagged claws drag across her belly.
Erinaye snap kicks the demon in the face, breaking its neck with the force of her blow. The last of her foes fallen, Erinayes wonders what exactly she'd just fought.
Her wounds stop bleeding quickly enough, though they still ache quite a bit, and as she examines the bodies Erinaye notices how their strange skin seems to change colors with the background, blending in. It might be valuable to the right person.
(Technically you need to rest before you can use your exp, but I'll make an exception for you just this once.)
It takes a while, but Erinayes manages to free a section of skin from each of the dead demons. She moves on, but her progress is halted once more as a strange looking woman shambles out of a house toward her. The woman is completely naked, and a tail and a trio of tentacles extend from her back, while something strange dangles between the womans legs. The rest of her is fairly normal, pale skin and average sized breasts, though she does have several strange deformations in various places. She doesn't seem overtly hostile, but her odd condition is worrying.
(It's okay. You need to rest, as in sleep. Not being under immediate attack is insufficient. )
As she speaks, the woman halts and turns her head, as if confused. A moment later she continues toward Erinaye, apparently unconcerned or not understanding of her threat.
Erinayes Status: HP = 42, P = 35, EP = 35, Grappled
The woman still does not stop, and suddenly surges forward, trying to grab Erinayes.
To-hit: 13 + 24 = 37 vs 36 == Hit.
Erinayes is just barely unable to avoid the womans attack, as she wraps her arms around Erinayes waist, destabilizing. She is able to remain on her feet, however.
