The Madness of Men in a World of Monsters (D&D 5e IC)

[purepolarpanzer]

The Hartswood- Dam'ess Cemetery

Hans awakes with a start as Hildebrand sprints over, her crossbow tossed aside. "No, no, nonono! Hans! You can't die! Get up!" The male human, delirious with pain and shock, laughs weakly as Dr. Madaras finishes administering aid. Though he is not strictly speaking a medical doctor, Ignacius can tell just by looking at it that this man's hand would be marred for life by his brush with death, and may have limited functionality for the rest of his days. But Hans is alive, and that counts for more than a disabled hand.

As Vargath wrestles the demon back, the fiend resists with such strength that Vargath has to lift it off the ground and haul it away like a tantruming child. While the ape is airborne, Selissa's arrow, Alvis' beams, and the twin bolts of eldritch energy pierce and burn the creature's flesh. By the time Vargath has dragged the monster ten feet away, it has become easy to move it. Light as a feather, the growling, cursing ape begins to fade from view, but this time it is the forced transubstantiation of violence sending the fiend back to it's home. Vargath's hands finally pass through it as it disappears with a roar that quickly becomes muted and distant. It is done.
