R7T10.4-.3: ... (Cont'd) The first homunculus tears across Bessel's chest to do a lot of physical damage, but without actually going deep enough to get an organ. The second one's tail, however, strikes down like a viper. Overall, it doesn't tear much flesh. It doesn't have to. The stinger pierces the sternum and hits the heart.

Bessel's body arches upwards a little at his chest and lower back, and then drops with a soft thud. He no longer snores.

R7T10: Dorit, your focus is still on this battle. You have no idea what is happening in the passageway as your attention is more on the shriezyx. The priest has set you up for a good strike(s) and your enemy is now flanked. What do you do?
