"I suggest we attempt to lure it away from the children, lest they get caught in the crossfire. Or someone get shoved into the wards," Tanith commented. She had accepted the fact that she was going to end up being bait, and she didn't actually mind that idea. Her personal goal for the day was to get into close combat with at least a couple of demons. So now that they were all in agreement, she took aim with her 9mm, left hand still hidden beneath her jacket and wrapped around a vial of blood. She snapped the lid off, letting the oily substance spread over her fingers. The creature roared again. Ugh. Was it too much to hope for a severed vocal cord?
"Well then. Time's wasting. Fire at will." And with that, she did. Her first bullet hit its nearest shoulder, and in anger the beast jumped to its feet, standing tall above them. Tanith fired again, side-stepping away from the wards. Come and get me. Give us a big hug. I'll blast your fucking head off. Hey, that had worked once before! Smaller demon, though.
