2. More than one someone does

Lygia falls back against the tree, leaving her legs spread, her hand tired from rubbing. Try as she might she can’t get herself over the edge into the sheer bliss she’s sure is right around the corner. And then she hears the buzzing again. This time it’s much louder, like it’s coming from multiple sources. And she soon sees that it is. Four of the small, winged creatures surround her. She can see on their angry little faces that they’re out for ****.

[Lygia: 20. Imps: 20, 23, 24, 25]

The first dive bombs her, teeth bared and tail ready to sting.

[Attack: 22 vs 19. Chance to block: 8. Damage: 2. Stamina save: 37]

Its little tail strikes true, hitting directly at the vein in Lygia’s arm. She yelps, pulling back, only to open herself up for the next attack.

[Attack: 17 vs 28]

She manages to dodge the next attack, but the other two come in hot. ‘

[Attack: 15 vs 20. Attack: 22 vs 27]

Finally she’s able to grab for her dagger and takes a swing at the one closest to her.

[Attack: 22 vs 10. Chance to block: 20. Damage: 4]

She pins one of them to the tree behind her. The leader of the pack hisses something that sounds like metal against metal made into speech and he dives for her.

[Attack: 10 vs 34]

He misses in his anger, but his two remaining followers make their attacks as well.

[Attack: 9 vs 20. Attack: 13 vs 35]

Lygia swings with her dagger again, the fury of needing to protect herself coursing through her veins.

[Attack: 37 vs 7. Chance to block: 3. Damage: 1]

This time she only clips the wing of one of them, but she knows that will only make them angrier.

[Attack: 17 vs 33. Attack: 19 vs 32. Attack: 19 vs 28]

She flails, dodging their attacks. She swings again, trying to connect with the one she injured earlier.

[Attack: 18 (natural 1) vs 20.]

As she swings widely, she accidentally throws her dagger, embedding it in a nearby tree. The creatures laugh their piercing, demonic laugh and dive at her again.

[Attack: 20 vs 20. Chance to block: -9. Damage: 4. Stamina save: 22]

This time one of them stabs with its tail directly between her breasts. The poison courses directly into her heart but she’s able to power through it by sheer strength of will. As she closes her eyes and braces herself, the other two attack as well, trying to take her down.

[Attack: 19 vs 23. Attack: 22 vs 33]

She bats them away. Now unarmed, she has **** but to try to pull them out of the air with her bare hands.

[Attack: 29 vs 12. Chance to block: 18. Damage: 1]

She grabs the one she’d previously injured and begins to squeeze the life out of it. She feels something feral running through her veins. She could run but she wants to kill these little devils. They screech at her for taking their comrade and dive at her again.

[Attack: 20 vs 20. Chance to block: 8. Damage: 2. Stamina save: 28. Wound: Slash down her right arm]

The one in her hand slashes her arm with his tail, leaving a nasty, gaping wound. She’s surprised it goes so deep. In her shock the other two attack as well, trying to catch her unaware.

[Attack: 25 vs 25. Chance to block: 6. Damage: 1. Stamina save: 31. Wound: sprained wrist]

Lygia falls backward, landing hard on her left wrist as one of the creatures stabs at her again. Another little barbed tail stabs into her and she feels the familiar pain of the imp’s poison enter her body again.

[Attack: 24 vs 27]

She manages to dodge the third, but her head is swimming from the pain of her injuries. She swings again at the one she already injured, trying to smack it out of the sky.

[Attack: 38 (critical) vs 24. Chance to block: 11. Damage: 2]

She’s successful, taking out a second imp. The other two chatter in their demonic language, saying something she doesn’t understand.

[Attack: 23 vs 20. Chance to block: -7. Damage: 2.]

[Attack: 24 vs 22. Chance to block: 4. Damage: 3.]

[Roll to stay conscious (odds no, evens yes): 2]

They both land their little stingers in her flesh. Lygia screams in pain, her vision starting to go fuzzy at the edges. She swings blindly with her fists, trying to make contact with one of the remaining two.

[Attack: 35 vs 13. Chance to block: 2. Damage: 1]

She makes contact but it isn’t enough to take the creature down.

[Roll to stay conscious: 17]

Lygia stumbles backward her vision going cloudy. The two creatures advance on her, but her sight goes black before she can see what they have in store for her.

[XP: 200]
