Western Fandom Island, Friday night

[demonbelthazor]

After a trek to the western portion of Fandom Island, Our Heroes reached the entrance to some old sea caverns. There were several tunnels heading off in different directions. Bel was fairly certain which one led to his mother; she was really making no attempt to hide. But there were other demons lying in wait down the side tunnels as well, and they couldn't afford to have them come up behind them.

"Okay," Bel said, trying to be all leader-like. "Group one is Cam, Molly, and Alanna. You take the tunnel on the far left. Group two is Bridge, Isabel, Walter and Camulus. You take the tunnel to the near left. Group three takes the right hand tunnel and is John, Ivanova, Pip and Pippi. Angel, Piper, Paige, and I are going down the middle. We'll meet up back here. Is everyone all set?"

Walter followed silently behind Camulus. Really, a cigarette would have been perfect right about then, but he didn't think the others would approve.

Isabel stayed to the back, still a bit surprised at what she'd done and with no desire to repeat it.

Suddenly an ugly snarling demon appeared in front of them. Her hand flew put and an energy ball crackling with electricity went zooming towards Camulus' chest before the demon shimmered out of sight.

The ribbon device came up to ward off the attack, slightly too slowly and the energy ball hit his hand. The jewel crackled and smoked, and Camulus hissed as his hand burned. His other hand was already moving, a knife zooming through where the demon had been, clattering harmlessly against the rock wall.

"Dammit," he growled, looking at the charred ribbon device. "This thing is useless now."

"Is your hand okay?" Isabel asked.

"Fine, fine," he growled, flexing it around the jewel a few times. Remember the creepy wee Nazi from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'? His hand looked like that. "It'll heal soon enough. Luckily it's only my left. I can kill that thing even it had blown it off entirely."

The demon shimmered into sight in front of Bridge and slammed both fists into his chest.

Luckily, before they could connect, Bridge ducks and rolls out of the way.

The demon shimmered into sight again, a bit further down the tunnel and sent two energy balls hurtling at Isabel.

Isabel managed to get her hand up in time to send the energy balls bouncing harmlessly away.

Camulus not so much with the thinking right now. Forgetting the fact that with the ribbon device out of commission he had no protection other than the somewhat antiquated armour he was wearing, off down the tunnel he charged, two knives being thrown in swift succession.

One of the knives imbeds in the demon's chest before she shimmers away. She comes back into sight further down the tunnel and sends a knife at Camulus while throwing and energy ball at Walter.

Nice thing about energy balls is that they're easier to spot than bullets. Walter easily moves out the way of the ball and steps forward, clear of the others, to send a spray of wire down the tunnel toward the demon.

The demon cries out in pain as the wires slice her arm off at the shoulder and she stumbles against the tunnel wall.

His sword was out and raised, aimed right for her torso and he growled as he thrust. "Phoebe," he snarled. "Where is she?"

Re: Group Two: Bridge, Isabel, Walter & Camulus

The sound the demon made was something between a snarl and a howl of pain. Her eyes flicked back they way she had come and then to the entrance.

"Dead." She said as she tried to pull the sword out of her. "Or at least she soon will be. Elishevara has no use for a witch who is that good inside." She shook her head. "You'll be too late. You're all fodder."

"Wrong answer," Camulus snarled, pulling the sword out of her with a wet squelch. The sword spun and descended, neatly seperating head from neck in one vicious swipe.

The demon exploded into tiny black particles.

"Well, that was... different." Bridge says, shaking his head. He then continues leading the others down the tunnel... until they reach a dead end.

"Okay. Time to backtrack." Walter turned around and passed Isabel to retrace their way back down the tunnel to an open area (http://demonbelthazor.livejournal.com/34213.html?thread=585893#t585893).
