The Hunted: Demons Rifts, Round 1
The huge demon complies with Earth's challenge, roaring and plowing through the huge rocks like they aren't even there. It swings a huge ape-like arm at Earth and slams into the elemental's shield twice. On one of the strikes, spines on the Demon's fist explode, sending sharp fragments into the elemental's thick "skin".
Meanwhile, the smaller demons howl and rush towards the group, lightly wounding Devinihm and Raijin, and missing the wily Mab.
The flying demon glides over the fight and dives towards Earth. Since the Horned Demon is out of the Warden's reach, he turns and bats the thing out of the air like a moth instead.
The smaller rift to the east of the party ripples and another Demonling claws its way into the world, skin melting and running as it does so while the larger rift bends and contorts, the hulking form of another massive demon tearing its way bodily from the Abyss towards reality...
| GM: | Raijin is in the front since he's the 2nd highest level character and the group only has 1 "non-squishy" character. He's the next toughest PC after Earth - at least until Devinihm gets into insect form.
Earth's Athletics check to get to where he wanted to be(see Terrain sblock): 1d20+9=25.
I'd appreciate it if people would list all the effects of the powers they use and state where bonuses/penalties to attacks/damage/etc are coming from. Makes it easier for me to track what's going on.

[sblock=Arcana DC 20, minor action]The smaller rifts are fairly unstable. If someone could get adjacent to one they could close it with a Standard Action DC 20 Arcana check. The larger rift looks more more stable, it will take 5 Standard Action DC 20 Arcana checks to close, though these attempts may be made from up to 3 squares away.[/sblock]
