"Richard, get as far away from it as you can before you launch that spell and drink a mana potion if you've got one." he instructed the junior agent. When the Shadow Demon began to speak, Argus grabbed a water bottle off of his belt and began to chug its contents. Though not nearly as potent a fuel source as the liquid hydrogen, the lighter fluid would keep the Djinn going for the rest of the fight.

Arguus once again shifted his body, revealing his naturals claws, eyes, and mouth. "You, elemental girl, keep your water as far away from me as possible if you want to live." he took up a fighting stance with his body low to the ground, one foot pushed out behind him in a position akin to a sprinter's start and mimicking a serpent preparing to spring upon its prey. Coiling flames formed around the Djinn's bone claws, and as soon as Richard's spell went off, he would launch himself forward towards the Shadow Demon. Two quick slashes would be aimed at its chest with the fire-empowered claws before kicking off from the ground and dodging backwards out of its reach.

@KatherinWinter So pretty much situational for the people who they're useful for. Argus has no reason to carry them for the same reason other agents don't carry around charcoal, rocket fuel, and lighter fluid; they can't drink chemical fuels to heal themselves and he can't recover his mana with a potion.

@KatherinWinter Is it safe to assume mana potions exists and are carried by BOSA agents?

As Argus dispelled the human guise across his entire body, revealing his true form in totality, a veritable wall of invisible heat burst away from his form. "Griffin, when you get to the surface call HQ, have them send out a prisoner transport van equipped with a class A magic suppression charm and UVC lights." the Djinn requested, his voice reverberating through the tunnels now that his full power had been unleashed.

With a roar, a gout of barely-visible flame gushed from Argus' mouth, unleashing the entirety of the liquid hydrogen fuel he had consumed in a torrent of scorching heat and ultraviolet radiation directed towards the shadow demon. As Argus ejected the burning fuel, his human shell reformed around his true Djinn body and he fell to the ground on his knees; panting and looking unusually pale. The Djinn reached into his freshly reformed jacket pocket, pulling out a block of charcoal and crushing it in his hand before dumping the contents into his mouth; after a few seconds, the color returned to his face and he stood up to examine the results of his attack. "Everybody okay?" he asked, still panting.

@KatherinWinter Easy enough to shape it how you want it and then freeze it, though.

EDIT: In reference to the PMs I sent you, these kinds of things (Amaya's water magic and Mason's size/strength limits) are pretty much EXACTLY why I prefer to make sure I'm on the same page as the GM in regards to what kind of powers my character has.

Argus is pretty much just improvising in an attempt to prevent Richard and Amaya from getting themselves killed and salvage this trainwreck of an operation. He doesn't know for sure if her powers have that much range, so he's taking a gamble and hoping for the best.

The exact size of the tunnel has also never really been properly defined, so I was going off of best guesses and the time I went on an underground city tour in Seattle where we went through some of the older sewers.

@LightningMaiden That'd reflect the light and UV radiation away from him, and not really do much in the way of actually weakening him. It might slow him down, but not properly weaken him.

The Bureau of Supernatural Affairs

@Blueflame It's worth trying. If the other players decide to go along with it I'll leave it to your discretion how it plays out.

We should also wait for @Katherinwinter to post before doing much else though, since Griffin is on the scene as well.

My plan is as follows; Amaya covers the surrounding in ice to act as a mirror, Richard creates a blast of holy light which will reflect off the ice from all sides, Argus follows up with a concentrated blast of UV-emitting hydrogen flames.

Perfect world it roughly adds up to 2-3 seconds worth if unfiltered daylight, with the mirror in front of Griffin preventing HIM from getting fried by it too.

Noticing the demon's panicked state and apparent injury when he transformed, Argus took a few steps back towards Richard, noting Griffin's arrival at the scene; those close to the Djinn would be able to feel the intense heat radiating from his core. "Sorry for running off ahead boss, but I figured you wouldn't be far behind." he admitted, keeping an eye on the shadow demon as it attempted to escape past an unfamiliar woman who smelled strongly of river water. "I know I'm not supposed to transform without permission from the senior agent on the case but we're way past keeping ourselves secret at this point." he apologized, looking away from the demon and towards Griffin.

"We need to keep this thing in the sewers without hurting it anymore, long enough to get a properly equipped containment vehicle on site. We can't risk triggering any more transformations." he advised, shifting his focus to Richard, "There's a chance trapping it between several sources of light strong enough to hurt it might start weakening it."

Right about then, the woman froze a portion of the shadow demon into a block of ice. "Damnit, does nobody around here pay attention to context clues? Get away from that thing before you piss it off any worse!" he shouted at her, "Starting to see what you meant Griff. We have GOT to train these people better before sending them into the field." he stared at the woman, sniffing the air, "Who are you anyways, lady? I didn't think we had any of your kind on staff." he said, an obvious hint of disdain in his voice.

As the demon started to struggle and claw at the already weakened sewer walls, Argus could smell fear underneath the thick demonic stench. "Get away from that thing now! Freeze the walls and ceiling once you're to a safe distance, then create an ice mirror in front of yourself and Griffin!" he ordered the woman, watching as Richard conjured chains of holy light in an attempt to further restrain the creature. "Richard, prepare the strongest burst of holy light you can charge up and fire it on my signal."
