The red-robed man had no time to stop and stare at the forest that loomed before him. It wasn't before he began walking behind the trio. He was some distance away. [color=ed1c24]"[i]These[/i] are the clowns I was assigned to adventure with? How-"[/color] The man cut himself off as he took in the sight before him. Some kind of demon reindeer . . . thing, just stood there. It began to charge after a few moments passed. Archie took a moment to think.

He had three "allies". One was so scared they passed out, the other can't shoot for shit, and one thinks they're playing some kind of sport game. Did she really [i]tackle[/i] the guy out of the way? Whatever. It appeared the newcomer had to save the day. Which was sad. If Archie had to be the hero, you done fucked up.

[color=ed1c24]"Hm"[/color], he mused to himself, revealing a big book. He scrolled through some pages before stopping on one he liked. [color=ed1c24]"Ah. This seems formidable."[/color] He shot his hand in front of him and took a breath. [color=ed1c24]"I summon Azral to the real plane!"[/color]

. . . But nothing happened. Having no defence against this demon, Archie was snatched up by its powerful jaws. It didn't keep him there for long. Instead, it bit him a couple times before tossing him aside. Having a large wound in the lower stomach, he was losing a lot of blood. Likely to pass out in mere minutes if help didn't come in the form of a healer summon or a healing ally.
