The scent of brimstone precedes this bulky, orange skinned humanoid, who has massive arms, batlike wings, and a thorny hide. As the door creaks open, his burning eyes fall on you."You are too late, fools," he says, "but I welcome you. You're just in time to die."Pixies armed with bows drop out of the water after him, falling only to be caught in fountain water and placed,flying, just above the floor. The pixies wear the glazed look of all the fey slaves of Kalbon and Soryth. Their eyes are drawn towards the open door where the group are about to leap forth into action. Their eyes seem to clear and in tiny voices they shout in unison: "No! We will not hurt these friends of the fey! Flee! Flee for your lives friends!" Terrified they streak from the hall and out into the garden, not looking back as Kalbon shouts infuriated at them, hurling death threats that fall upon deaf ears and buying the group the chance to act first.[GM] Let's say that opening the door does not count as an action in Rain's turn. Like  a surprise round action. Each other character can take a minor or move action for free to reposition themselves before taking their proper turn. Pixies (P1 & P2) flee combat thanks to the mercy the group showed to other NPCs during the adventure.
