You know, with those big feathery wings and unnatural beauty, all an erinyes needs to do to fool many onlookers that she's an archon or deva is to wear shining armour <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> She actually attempted to lure the PC's into aiding her in attacking a Risen succubus (ie, turned-to-the-forces-of-good demon), telling them she was on a mission to kill this incredibly evil succubus who just happened to be in that tavern over there. Part way through the fight the erinyes demeanour and actions, adn the words of the succubus, alerted them to the ruse and they turned on the erinyes.2) A fallen solar <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> This was towards the end of the campaign with high-level characters, and a devil army was rampaging around the upper planes led by an abishai arhcmage who had released the solar from his prison on  Bytopia; the Solar knew the location of where the archons had hidden a very powerful artifact that the abishai wanted.By the time the PC's got there they found the battlefield where the native guardians had fought the Baatorians, and underneath a pile opf rubble they saw the hand of a casualty sticking out - the solar, who had been injured during the battle and lay umderneath the rock. They helped him out, whereupon he immediately got up and hit the half-dragon paladin with his sword.His vorpal sword.He critted, killing the paladin instantly, and went on to badly damage the party before they managed to take him down, whereupon his dark form shattered and imploded in suitably maleficient manner <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
