Chunks of desecrated earth and splinters of wood and bone fly away from the Dark Dweller as Healer assaults the demon with tooth and claw. It takes heavy damage, but doesn’t waver. It continues to stand, eyes glowing sickly green.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thokein’s sword hits the Dark Dweller, but scrapes uselessly down the demons hardened wood exterior. The Dark Dweller charges at Healer and attempts to gore his bear form with the jagged pieces of wood and bone sticking out of its exterior.
Angie is still groggy from waking up. She lifts her right hand and performs the gestures for guiding bolt, half of the power for her spell rushes out at the aberration, but she feels the other half of the energy building up inside of her left hand. Just before her hand is about to explode from the built up energy she notices her mistake and rushes through the motions with her left hand and the other half of the energy shoots out and lights the monster up. The monster fizzles to death and Angie releases a sigh, "I hate mornings. It's too early for this stuff." She yawns and looks to her companions, "I think we just saw our first demon, let's eat some breakfast."
Timil who now has his knees drawn to his chest and is huddled against the back wall of his hut calls out to you in a shaky voice, “I-i-is it d-d-ead? D-d-id you really kill it?”
The sickly green light in the empty eye sockets of the skull has faded away to black. All that is left behind of the monster is a pile of bones, wood, stones, and earth. The pile smells like grave dirt and dark splotches of blood seem to seep out of the soil and leech into the ground around it. There doesn’t appear to be anything of value left behind, nor do you find any specific indications of what made the creature in the first place.
Angie yawns and looks to her friends, "So, after sleeping on my ontological revelation of last night, I have decided it is a dead end. At least for now. If my experiences do not correspond to a real external existence that we all share then none of my actions or inquiries have purpose and there is no reason to continue on. I think that the best way to proceed is to act as though my experiences are informed by some sort of objective reality, at least until I have more experimental resources and access to more academic minds off of which to bounce hypotheses." So saying Angie looks around the hut, "So what's for breakfast?"

Angie is a little blurry as she woke up, (it should be 4d6, but I rolled 2d6 so here are the other 2d6 rolls if that is ok). "and take that."
2d6 = 8

How do you want to do this? (That’s enough to kill the demon, please describe your kill).

Thokein, a bit surprised at his miss says, "Yes. It is early. Breakfast sounds good."
Timil who now has his knees drawn to his chest and is huddled against the back wall of his hut calls out to you in a shaky voice, “I-i-is it d-d-ead? D-d-id you really kill it?”
Thokein walks out to check on the creature, but with axe still at the ready just in case.
Investigation or nature (sane mod): 6
Medicine: 5
We’ll go with investigation.

"Don't worry. It's dead."
Healer sticks his face through the door and trumpets agreement.
