SIR BLANDAMOUR (As the demon lunged toward him, Shaitann did as he was trained to do and rears back, striking with his fore-hooves. Blandamour draws his sword, suitably enchanted, as all the weapons are, and strikes hard at the snake-demon, cutting through his left eye and lodging briefly in the bone of the lower eye-socket. His right arm is bathed in acidic ichor, burning him at the joints, particularly his wrist, but the Protection from Evil spell shields him from the worst effects. Shaitann continues to rear and dance around. Sudddenly, the snake=head catches him off-balance and knocks him off his horse, landing some feet away. He struggles to rise.)
