Setsuna activated her reflection spell, surrounding her with a green ring of energy, and dove in front of the energy beam.
The powerful beam bounced off the shield and back at Astoroth.
Setsuna staggered back and collapsed to the ground. Zachary dragged her behind some rubble and left through the magic door, having expended the rest of his grenades.
Mr. Bigmouth returned through the magic door with a new quiver of poisoned arrows, some Great Valley archers and Haresh. Their arrows were not poisoned but they carried a wad of oilplant leaves just behind the stone head. He immediately started firing the poison arrows at the demon.
The archers quickly climbed up onto the stone seats surrounding the arena.
Several of the archers lit fires on the seats using wood and tinder that they carried with them. They then ignited the oilplant leaves and fired the burning arrows at the demon.
Paul and Anton fired their rocket launchers again.
Dr. Kerzach and the SPVDF soldiers threw their last grenades and Molotovs at the demon and waited for them to explode before they ran to rearm themselves.
Deimos and Rime were almost out of bullets but they continued shooting.
Dirk and Kurt headed for the magic door as they expended their ammunition.
Werner, Strut, Al, Clive and Jose were still blasting away at the demon with their shotguns but were running low on shells.
"I'm almost empty!" Werner shouted, sliding some more shells into his shotgun.
Haresh started hurling fireballs at the demon.

Ms. Swimmer, Hans and Franz were busy hacking apart some imps that rushed to help Astaroth.

The Bull and the two volunteer guards were safeguarding the stove, much to the irritation of the chefs.
