[ They're really going to be felled by random fodder.
The blow hits hard enough to knock Claude onto his back, claws digging into his chest but losing steam due to the arrow in its throat before they can dig out any of the very important organs that are there. ]
Probably not!
[ Thankfully, there's enough adrenaline that Claude doesn't really register the pain yet, using his lowered position to fire again at the beast's throat before rolling off to the side in case the creature decides to kneel over onto him. ]
[Imagine if I rolled for Claude's attack and was like "you missed even though it's right there on top of you." No, I'll be nice—Claude's attack hits it right in the throat, killing it fully as it collapses. Good thing Claude rolls away!
Tsuru, however, is not so lucky. The kebiishi is apparently taking cues from its nimble dead friend, evading Tsuru's attack before slashing at his chest with a roll of 18. However, it swings so hard that as it completes its swing, the momentum causes its sword to go flying out of its hands, landing a few feet behind it. Oops!]
[ Thankfully, Claude is pretty nimble too (unless Jan rolls poorly), so he's quick to get into a crouch from his dodge, firing a volley of arrows at the sword monster's chest, neck and head, while desperately trying to avoid hitting Tsuru.
He gets back up once he does, bolting for the dropped sword in case the thing decides to get any ideas about reclaiming its weapon. ]
Tsuru tries to impale it, but unfortunately it dodges enough so that Tsuru's blade skims its side instead, while Claude's first two arrows... miss entirely... In fact, the one aimed at the kebiishi's neck, with a grand total of 1, strikes Tsuru in his non-dominant arm. Yikes!
Fortunately, thanks to the injury Tsuru landed, however minor (and also, the kebiishi might be distracted watching this bit of friendly fire between its enemies?), its movements are slowed enough that it doesn't have time to dodge Claude's final arrow. That one strikes it in the head, as it goes down! Probably.
No, it's dead. You can tell because both it and the slain demonic beast explode in a shower of particles, leaving behind... loot. What does this loot look like? You're not sure, but you can tell it looks like Loot that you can easily stuff into your sleeves. Or pockets, whatever.
[ he just. he just pulls the arrow out and drops it. ]
Well. Let's continue.
[ this is fine.
he leans down to pick up some Loot, he supposes, and shoves some down his sleeves. he is bleeding from three different places, including his face, but it's fine. he is ready to start walking forward again. ]
[They can try and deal with their wounds to the best of their abilities, even if you admittedly don't have much here to work with! Out of pity, Claude can keep the sword.
As they move onwards eventually, though, they'll hear familiar voices screaming, before they reach a courtyard...]

but since it lost its sword (which he thinks is extremely embarrassing), he will readjust his position to attempt to impale it instead. ]
Claude! Shoot it!

In any case, he'll wince as Tsuru pulls out the arrow. ]
Sorry. Looks like my aim has been nerfed too.
[ His excuses...
Anyway, holy shit, they got banged up. He'll continue down the path. ]
Do you need a minute to bandage up?
