As everyone continues to press the attack, the second Maggot comes into view, all full of hate. The first one now reforms itself into a physical form behind the second Maggot, thinking that it will now have a bit of an edge on you with a fellow demon on its side.

Everyone that delayed their actions now can respond to the enemy.

Zephiron leaps over the second Maggot, sailing through the air on his wings. With a sudden decisive dive, he attempts to impale the first maggot and nail him to the ground.

Only 50 MD this time.

The wounded Maggot sees Zephiron coming at it, and tries to parry the strike before you hit. Unfortunately for it, it was unsuccessful and you hit. It still lives, but it is hurt pretty badly.

From the back of Tiny, Terra directs her Automation to raise up its sword and hurl a lightning bolt at the injured Maggot, while Junior and Baby run forward with their swords in hand, ready to attack.

As the wounded Maggot fled, Snowfall tried to take the opportunity to protect his hearing by putting on his magical helmet. If opportunity allowed, he fired his dear Dragon Rod with a Lightning Blast at the injured maggot hoping to take it out.
 
The lightning bolt comes flying out of the tip of the sword, but it misses the Maggot as it dodges out of the way. Baby and Junior will not get within melee range this action, but will be able to attack on their next.

"Sorry, didn't mean to exclude you from the fun."

The Crazy's words are loud and clear, and directed at the new arrival. Another ugly creature, like the other; once one has seen one, one has seen them all, it seems.

"They've got some unfinished business between them, that's all, you know. Nothing personal. A little rude, I know, I know; but they'll all be there for you in a sec or two. You gotta bear up with me until then. Don't you worry, I make it quick. See, there was this man called Sir Duncal Cooley. Gave me this sword, just for moments like these. He sends his regards, I believe; and probably approves if I stab you a little. Not what I'm here for, in the end - but a good warm-up, I think, for the real challenges, don't you think?"

With that, Eron begins to move, closing the distance between him and Maggot 2 with inhuman speed. The steel of his blade flares in the light, than it abruptly descends to hit the creatures leg and cut through the thick, demonic hide.

"C'mon, show some spine. Fight me!"

58 damage if it hits (and it should, right?)
 
Eron's sudden attack catches the second Maggot by surprise, and your sword bites deep.

Aiming to finish off the first maggot, Daisy launches another slug at its center of mass.

Strike: 31
Damage: 120 silver
 
Daisy's cannon rocks the wounded Maggot back on its heels in pain, and the thing is obviously suffering. Poor baby.

Maggot 2 locks eyes with Zephiron and hauls off a powerful swing at the young dragon with its deadly claws. It will hit unless you dodge or parry.

The hatchling laughs with hysterical condescension. He attempts to swat the strike aside with his runic weapon, yet shows no concern if it should make its mark or not. "Struggle all you'd like. Your plebian protests will not overcome my authority."

The Maggot's swing is easily knocked aside by Zephiron, keeping you from taking any damage.

The badly injured one decides to target Junior with a clawed swing of its own. It will hit unless you dodge or parry.

Even wounded as badly as it is, the Maggot is fast enough to be able to score a solid blow against Junior for a total of 80 MD.

The doctor continues to fire at the maggot moving around to aim at it's injured eye if possible.

21 to hit called shot to the eye.
40 MDC
 
With a well timed shot, the wounded eye stalk is nearly severed, leaving the eye crippled and useless.

Zephiron turns to Maggot 2, eldritch magic crackling like electric sparks from his claws. "Enjoy your taste of hopelessness wretch."

He casts Luck Curse on Maggot 2.
 
Casting his spell, the young dragon unleashes his power against the Maggot. Only time will tell if the curse was successful.

"Hey there - don't just ignore me, that's rude!" While Maggot 2 seems focused on the dragon instead of him, Eron once more strikes against the foul creature.

22 to hit, 48 damage
 
Despite the enhanced reflexes of the Crazy, the Maggot is able to dodge out of the way of your attack.

With her two Earth Thunderers in melee range with Maggot 1, Terra has them both level off a pair of nasty sword strikes against it, and as that is going on, she has Tiny cast Desiccate the Supernatural against it.

Crappy rolls. Baby's to hit should be a +7, not +5. I made a oopsie there.

One sword strike hits home, but all it does is a minor scratch. The spell, however, sucks more life out of the Maggot, and it is hurt bad. If this punishment is kept up, it will not last long.
