[b] [u] Grey Onyx [/u] [/b] Grey had managed to run up the behemoth's back, dodging an attempt to grab him by bashing at its hand with his shield. Fortunately, Grey had managed to ascend quick enough to avoid becoming paste, as the beast slammed its back against the wall. Unfortunately, he couldn't really stop his forward momentum, sending him past its head. As a sort of consolation prize, he managed to smack the beast in the face on the way down with his shield. As he hit the ground, he instantly dropped into a combat roll. of course in the process he felt [i]something[/i] scrape at the armor on his greaves. If he were just a bit slower, it would have torn right through. As he stood, he looked quite heartbroken. He had allowed some beast to sully the masterwork that was this armor. He whipped around, and was greeted by the final abomination, the one that had went missing. [b]"I hope you can understand me, monstrosity. You will be defeated here, you cannot win! As long as I draw breath I will defend the denizens of this college, and if that means beating you into submission I'll do it! So come on! [i]COME ON![/i]"[/b] He shouted, banging his fist against his shield. In all reality, this was a clever ploy. He had noticed that the she-demon was directly inbetween him and the big one, and his plan was in essence an attempt at getting the brute to defeat her for him. He was absolutely sure the monstrosity was far too angry to differentiate targets. So he would charge the demon with his shield as soon as she advanced, and basically launch her at it. Of course, he was prepared to roll off to the side and abandon the attack if it looked like the big one might kill him. [b] [u] Alaira Taenn [/u] [/b] Alaira was furious. More so than she usually was. As such, she was eating alone for once. That miserable bastard, who did he think he was? 'Oh hey, you're so hawt.' 'Oh, sorry about hitting on you, allow me to repay you by forcing you to listen to my goddamn life story.' Ugh. Still, she had to eat. Though she was going to get done with her food and get back to Lyn as soon as possible. She'd at least like to have a solid half-hour with the child without having to fight murderous assholes or deal with the more mundane kind of assholes. It was at that point, that all hell broke loose. It started with a scream, but then this nonsense devolved into the chaos of battle. It was madness, it seemed like demons were just coming out of the damn walls and everyone was at eachother's throats. Good! She needed some good old-fashioned senseless slaughter. With an honest smile on her face she pulled her lance out of the ground. While unarmored, she would be a hell of a lot faster. [b]"Oh, hey there big guy! Wait, Bwah ha ha ha!"[/b] She burst into laughter for a moment as the big one charged. Dodging a downward blow from its mace-like arm, she continued. [b]"Holy shit, you actually think you can take me! Well, lets find out!!"[/b] she shouted as she focused all her hate and anger into her familiar battle-rage. Every ounce of hatred, every last bit of rage, all focused towards one purpose: the destruction of her foe. Her screaming turned from amused anger to the savage bellows of a wild beast as she shot forward. The creature tried to hit her, but the thing wasn't fast enough to hit her, just divert her course. As soon as the blow closed in, instead of jumping at it's big stupid head she shot forward and rolled under its legs, slicing one of them as she passed. The creature roared in pain as it stumbled. While the laceration was regenerating, the pain temporarily confused it. It barely had enough time to react as she jumped, rotated in the air, and used the wall to rebound back, assisted by wind magic. It managed to turn around in time to take another swing, but it missed as she was still way too damn fast. Unfortunately she had to divert slightly as she could no longer hit her original target. She managed to zip past its head and use a pillar as another springboard. This time the creature was not able to turn around in time, the muscles in its leg still healing. She planted the lance right in between its shoulder-blades into the spine. She had shoved it in to deep for her to remove it so she had to let go and get back to the ground. The monstrosity roared in pain, losing any sense of focus. It charged wildly, crushing everything in its path. Soldiers, tables, imps, the whole nine yards. Her temporary rage had subsided, and she noticed that this wasn't good. If anything she'd just made it worse. She did all she could to s=dodge it, but it was hell-bent on her destruction. However, her precious lance was still embedded in its spine. Without thinking she blasted it with a bolt of lightning. The creature started blathering and twitching as it came crashing to the ground, its momentum bringing it several feet before skidding to a stop. Quickly, she rushed up to her lance, smiling. Pulling it out, she began to repeatedly stab at the creature's neck, as it wouldn't be stunned for long. Laughing almost maniacally, she managed to finally detach its head from it's tiny, tiny neck. she barely noticed that it's spikes had left quite a few cuts and lacerations on her arms and legs. [b]"WHO'S NEXT?!?!"[/b] She bellowed. It was then that she felt the effects of her magic, and suddenly a wave of exhaustion hit her. Huffing and panting, the exhaustion brought clarity. [i]Wait a second, if the demons are all over the place here, then what about... The infirmary! Lyn![/i] She thought, a look of horror about her face. If something like that came into the infirmary, she doubted they could stop it. Daisy fought men, not monsters, and Mar was far from fit for combat right now. [b]"Lyn, Mar, Athalus, hold on, I'm coming!"[/b] she said to no-one as she sprinted out of the place. She had barely any magic remaining and she was physically exhausted, not to mention bleeding. If there was another thing as strong as her opponent from the dining hall, she wouldn't be able to stop it. But she couldn't think about that, they could be in trouble! So alone she sprinted for the infirmary, not daring to waste her remaining magic on getting to the place faster.
