Fluphy, however, isn't so lucky. Zenithral sees flames start to scorch his loyal friend as it flees in terror. For a moment, he forgets the others and he reaches out with golden light, transfering the scorching burns to himself instead. (Zenithral uses Martyr's Empathy. He takes a total of 28 fire damage. Fluphy takes none, but is subject to the fear spell.)
To his great surprise, he then sees several his men from Kuldahar emerge from the portal, fleeing some threat, infernal arrows protruding from their backs. ""Captain!" One of them coughs and stumbles. "The devils...!---Where were y---" The guard cuts off and topples as a half a dozen of arrows fly from the portal and strikes him and the others down.
He stumbles back, but quickly recognizes the fact that the slaad just cast a spell and if this was a portal to Kuldahar, the party really took the long away around. Well now...That was disturbing.
Zenithral releases another hail of arrows. All three nearly miss again, but he bends each one's trajectory. Two strike the one Alalla is assaulting, arrows flying probably uncomfortably close past her shoulders and side. One arrow spirals entirely around the branch and hits the other slaad from behind.
The bow bursts again at the show of unstable, spacial manipulation. Holding the bow extra tightly this time, instead of the bow flying from his hand, it sends Zenithral tumbling to the ground.
"I--*cough*---meant to do that," he croaks out.
(Slaad 2 takes 35 damage, Slaad 3 takes 17 damage. Zenithral falls prone.)
