Answer

2. Rolling means over and over, sort of, in this context. Jolts is like, picture of you accidentally zapped yourself with an electrical outlet, except in this case, it’s just a jolt. It’s hard to explain! It’s a visceral feeling. Like “oof! I just felt a jolt of electricity go through my body!”

3. I have no idea 🥲 it doesn’t really make sense.

Ripped arid tore at him, here means, ripping him dry.
Or it means bleeding him dry.

2. And “double” in this instance is like “doubling over.” It’s a very odd expression now that I think about it, but it basically means bowing down due to pain, so picture a person standing, and suddenly they just bend over, still standing, and look like they are in immense pain. That’s doubling over.
