Hardly seeming to notice Gunn's spell, the devil meets Perseus's charge with a rake of its claws - but the mighty dwarf is heedless of the danger, hurtling in and landing three powerful strikes. As has happened before, flaming runes manifest on Brunhilda's blade - dwarven magic that, Perseus is beginning to realise, has somehow become a part of him - and the devil's flesh is suddenly vulnerable to his steel.

Giving a snarl of surprise and pain, the devil regards him through narrowed eyes. "A runelord of Kharheim? The lore of the Hells holds thy kind to be extinct. But fear thou not: it is an error I will swiftly rectify."

So saying, he lays into Perseus with a will, holding nothing back in a deluge of blood and talon.

Everyone is free to act. As Theo has run into Rosalind's calming aura, the fear effect is suppressed but not dispelled.
