Quid occurrit

They rest up, Felcanis casting Lend Energy on Angelista to help her rest better. After a few minutes, Poklov hears some footsteps to the south. Honsou and Angelista get down behind a pews, while Poklov gets near the way in. A few seconds later four hellshots rush into the room.

Honsou aims at a hellshot, and the hellshots rush into the room. The hellshot at whom Honsou is aiming slams into Poklov and jars his shield out of his hand, though it is still strapped to his arm, but doesn't knock him over. Angelista lobs her spear at the hellshots but misses, and whips out her sword. Poklov gets his hand back on his grip, and Felcanis casts Armor 2 on Angelista. Honsou switches to aiming at a nearer hellshot.

Two hellshots attack Poklov, but he blocks and parries their blows. Two more go after Felcanis and Angelista, but they parry and block their blows, respectively. Poklov cuts off the leg of a hellshot, and Felcanis steps back and stands ready to fend off blows. Honsou runs around the hellshots and shoots one, but it doesn't get through its skin.

The little guy on the ground tries to stab Poklov on the leg, but he blocks it, and the one still standing tries to stab him, but Poklov parries it. Angelista cannot block a spear stab from the hellshot on her, so a poke gets through, and the one who tries to hit Felcanis breaks its spear. Angelista rushes to get behind the hellshot on Felcanis, but she misses its neck. Poklov whacks the standing hellshot.

Honsou again shoots a hellshot, but cannot get through its skin. One hellshot cannot get its spear through Poklov's armor, while the one on the ground cannot even hit his leg. The hellshot whose spear broke tries to grab Angelista but misses, and the other one tries to slam her but she steps back. Poklov gets out of the way. Angelista misses her own sword swing, but Felcanis bashes it on the head. Angelista raises an eyebrow and smiles when she sees the cleric whack something from behind for the first time since she's met her.

However, the hellshot just gets madder. Honsou shoots one with a bodkin arrow in its innards. One on the ground tries to hit Poklov in the leg but misses, and one by Felcanis misses her. One hits Angelista. It doesn't get through her armor, but she loses her grip on her shield and drops her sword. Felcanis misses as she tries to hit back. Poklov keeps hustling to the others.

Honsou reloads his bow, and steps away from a hellshot trying to stick its spear into him. Another hits Felcanis; she wobbles, but doesn't fall down. Angelista grabs her sword, and Poklov cuts down a hellshot. Honsou gets off a shot, and takes down a hellshot, and Angelista cuts down a hellshot as well. Angelista does a blow to the back of head of the last hellshot, taking it down.

Poklov binds Felcanis's wounds, and she drinks a potion of Major Healing. After a few more minutes and a Lend Energy on Poklov, six more hellshots show up from the south.

Honsou aims, and Poklov swings and misses at a hellshot as they go into the room. Angelista tells Felcanis to step back and lobs her spear at a hellshot, but she misses. She pulls out her sword right afterwards, and Felcanis casts Armor 2 on her. Honsou hits the lead hellshot with an arrow, but it splinters on its skin. The hellshot turns around and tries to hit with its spear Poklov but he blocks; the next one tries to do the same but Poklov parries. A third tries slam into Poklov but he steps back, and another tries to slam into Angelista but she blocks.

Poklov takes down a hellshot by hitting it in the leg, and Angelista smacks another with her sword. It stays up, but gets mad. Honsou shoots one, and it likewise gets mad from the hurt. One of the hellshots on Poklov stabs with its spear, but Poklov blocks it; another hits him on his armor, making him drop his axe and lose the grip on his shield from the shock. One on Angelista tries to hit her but misses, while his friend stands behind her between two pews, waiting for his buddy to drop. Some friend. One grabs his spear, and another tries to hit Poklov, who parries.

Poklov puts his axe on the skull of a hellshot, but it glances off, and Angelista misses as she tries to stab a hellshot with her sword. Felcanis tries to cast Light at the end of a pew, but the spell doesn't go off. Honsou reloads. A hellshot stabs Poklov, but cannot get through his armor; the guy on the ground's stab meets Poklov's axe. The one by Angelista falls from its wounds, while the hellshot behind it steps and stabs at Angelista, who blocks.

The hellshot on the ground gets to its knees, while one by Poklov stabs at him, but he steps away. Poklov smacks a hellshot with his axe on his axe, knocking it down. Angelista stabs a hellshot in the innards, making it mad. Honsou shoots one, hurting it a little. The hellshot to Poklov's left stabs him, but Poklov blocks the blow. Likewise, the one by Angelista tries the same to her, but meets the same end. The kneeling hellshot makes it to its feet, while another passes out.

Poklov smacks a hellshot with his axe and Angelista whacks one on the neck, but they stay standing. Honsou fumbles as he tries to get out his knife. One hellshot misses Angelista, another's spear can't get through Poklov's armor, and a third misses Felcanis with a slam as she steps back.

An angry Angelista screams, "That's my cleric!" as she rushes behind the hellshot to try to hit it. Poklov sticks with the one by him, and scratches it through its skull. Honsou reloads, and the hellshot down between pews kneels. The one between Felcanis and Angelista turns to stab Angelista, but its spear can't get through her armor. Likewise, the hellshot nearest Poklov can't get its spear through his armor.

Poklov gives that hellshot a good whack, while Angelista takes off the arm of the hellshot near her. Felcanis gives it a bop on the head, and Honsou shoots one, but cannot get through its tough skin. The one between the pews gets on its feet, while the one by Poklov can't get its spear through his armor. The one on Angelista tries to slam into her, but it can't do much to her. Angelista takes care of the hellshot's other arm with a comeback swing, but Felcanis can't get her mace through its skull. Honsou gets out an arrow.

One hellshot goes for a seam in Poklov's leg armor, but cannot hit. Another tries to stab Angelista, but she steps back. The armless one tries to slam into Felcanis, but she swats it back with her mace. Poklov hits the nearby hellshot, and Angelista tries to cut off the arm of the other hellshot near her, but misses. Felcanis bops the armless hellshot with her mace, and Honsou gets off a shot at a hellshot, doing a little hurt.

A hellshot by Poklov again tries to stick its spear into the chink in his leg armor, and again misses. The hellshot on Angelista misses, and breaks its spear. The armless hellshot again tries to head-butt Felcanis, but it doesn't begin to hurt her. Poklov takes down the hellshot by him with a last swat of his axe, and Angelista gets another cut on the hellshot by her. Felcanis smashes her mace on the armless hellshot's kneecap, and Honsou gets out an arrow.

The hellshot on Angelista tries to slam her, and again she gets out of the way. The armless hellshot again tries to put its head into Felcanis's belly, which again does nothing. Angelista dances out from the slam as she leaps back in slashing at his neck, giving it a bigger gash. Felcanis again bops the armless hellshot on the head, Honsou gets off a shot that doesn't go through, while Poklov moves towards the fray.

Once again Angelista steps away from the hellshot's slam, while Poklov jumps onto the pew and tries to slash at the hellshot, but misses. Angelista likewise misses with her slash to the neck, but Honsou runs around and shoots it in the back.

From then on, the two hellshots kept fighting, but Angelista and Poklov put them down after a few more seconds.

Hellshot
The hellshots are nothing special. I might as well share them:

Hellshots look like a cross between a norker and an earth elemental. One is about four feet tall, with its
red skin making plates. On their first strike, one slams into its foes, then it fights with its spear.
