Re: The Good Daughter (SirOni and xgkf)

"But of course!" Vivika exclaimed at Vanilla's suggestion, preparing a spell. Unfortunately, Grov seemed intent on taking matters into his own hands as he loudly roared; "GROV EVISCERATE!" and charged right down the tunnel just as Lani opened fire, causing Vivika's shrieked curse and Bub's low groan of annoyance to be barely audible over the reports of the half demon's pistols. Vanilla's summoned panther charged after the goblin, and Bub waddled on behind with his club raised in annoyance, "No you dolt! We'll get in the way!"
Lani's barrage of perfectly placed bullets tore through the spiders like so much tissue paper even as they charged to meet their foes, all five of those she targeted going down under her hail of gunfire and curling up on the floor as pools of golden ichor spread from their spasming corpses. Vivika snorted derisively despite the impressive show. "I could have killed them all if those knuckledraggers didn't get in the way! Watch a real expert at work!" She pointed a finger at one of the spiders on the wall, and the arachnid promptly went from the size of a large dog (though not nearly as large as the hellhounds Lani had grown up around) to the size of an apple in the blink of an eye, causing a spontaneous fountain of gore to spurt out from the rather clearly dead thing. When she and Lani had finished, the walls were totally clear of the spiders. Wearing a smug smile, the sorceress raised the hand she'd used to point and blew on her finger as if it were a gun, "All too easy!"
The spiders that had been on the floor, however, were still present, and two of them took the free space on the wall to climb up along it and get a clear line of fire. Vivika, not paying much attention at the time, was the largest and most open target among them, and the two arachnids took advantage of her vulnerable position to spray their webbing all over her. Sputtering in frustration and surprise, Vivika was quickly bound up in a web against the left hand wall, closer to Lani than Vanilla. "Get met outta here!" She squeaked in protest, her earlier bluster gone like the wind.
The ones on the ground were intercepted first by Grov, who took off one of one spider's legs with his machete. The creature reared back as if to attack, but before it could Vanilla's panther was on top of it, bowling it over in one powerful leap and tearing at it with teeth and claws. Grov moved in to finish it, but before he could the spider's comrades moved in to aid it, and one sunk its fang's into the agile goblin's arm. The tiny demon roared in pain and rage, but pulled away and nursed his wounded arm rather than press the attack, his movements noticeably slowed down. Another spider bit down onto the spirit panther's neck, and though it wasn't truly a living beast its body still functioned like one. The creature howled in pain as it was pulled away from the downed spider by the fangs of another, and by the time it managed to get the teeth out of its neck the creature was barely mobile. Bub hurled into combat with surprising speed, and in a show of agility unexpected of one so weighty spun out of the way of the spider sent to intercept him. The fat goblin's club came down atop the downed spider as it tried to right itself, squashing it flat in a single blow.
Vanilla, meanwhile, stood in the rear and stayed out of the fight, instead directing the sorceresses and attempting to avoid any webs that might get thrown her way. The only strike directed at her came from an unexpected direction, however, in the form of Hilda planting a playful swat upon the cat-nymphs bottom. When Vanilla rounded upon her reflexively, the demoness giggled and said; "I thought I'd cop a feel while I could since Vivika seems likely to keep you to herself later! I couldn't throw anything into the melee without hitting them, and it looks like they've got it handled anyway!" It was only after she'd spoken that Vanilla noticed the magic suddenly surrounding her, protecting her from harm should anything try to attack her.
It was as she turned away from the sorceress that Vanilla double taked and glanced more intently down the right hand hallway, the way they had decided not to go. Two more spiders were creeping down the hall along the floor in their direction, already within 30 feet of their group. They looked... Strange, however, almost withered and with yellow stains in several places along their cracked carapaces. Four more of the (relatively) normal looking spiders were also creeping along the ceiling above the two strange ones. Lani, her senses heightened to nearly superhuman levels by all of the magic that Vanilla had placed upon her, spotted the approaching enemies out of the corner of her eye as well. Hilda, however, still seemed completely oblivious to them.
Now pressed from two directions, their melee fighters wounded, Lani's guns empty, and one of their number stuck to the wall, things weren't looking good. The group coming down the opposite tunnel was smaller than the other attack force and didn't have the advantage of being able to use their summoned allies as shields against area of effect magic, however, and Vanilla had seen them coming. She could unleash her full power upon them without fear of anything besides collapsing the cave on them, and Hilda could do the same if she was aware of the situation. Lani, meanwhile, had to reload her pistols before she could do any more harm to their foes, but that wasn't her only option. Cutting Vivika free would allow the demoness to use her obviously effective magics on their foes, and if ordered she would likely ignore the presence of their other allies in the line of fire. Of course, she was also free to try summoning other help if she thought it was needed.
