Message: <blockquote data-quote="Satin Knights" data-source="post: 6235715" data-attributes="member: 6666968">Screams of panic and chaos echo through the cathedral.  Merchants and socialites, knowing nothing of battle simply attempt to run away from the ugly creatures, but spend more time tripping over each other.  The stone bench section is a little more disciplined, running towards the danger, but even they are not organized.  Getting standing and moving in cerimonial armors glogs the aisles for those who are a little more agile.  As the dretches continue roiling out towards the crowd, they are met with a couple monks and several paladins.  Falling quickly, it is simply a matter of wading through the crowds to get to the rest for them.  Apparently one of the VIPs in the front row is not waiting that long, for the unsleashed a fire snake.  Screams like pigs at slaughter add to the caucophony as the dretches burn in fires too hot for them to stand.  One defiant dretch manages to get off another stinking cloud, obscuring his master from many in the right side VIP section.The purple horned demons who landed in the crowds start their onslaught.  Attacking those in silks and satin, they are going for the greatest carnage by taking out the easy pickings first.  The one in front of the dais is getting surrounded and mobbed, but focuses all of his spite on one of the lower level monks that was serving as an usher.  Not stopping at just knocking the man down, it goes for the complete kill and decapitation, even as it is getting swords jabbed into its back and sides.Upfront, the grand demon, who, just moments ago was the guest of honor, reaches out pincered claw, pointing to the back.  A twenty foot wide wave of warriors are tossed into the air, clearing part of the aisle and part of the stone benches.  The warriors are bouncing about ten to fifteen feet off of the ground.  The winged women keep their distance, flying about forty feet in the air, looking and picking targets.  Each of them finds one, and points.  But, it is the turkey demons that are taking the fight to the crowds with glee.  Encircled with mirrored images of them, they gloat that most attacks cannot find them.  Three are fighting back, clawing and biting, tearing up any that get in their reach.  Three others are cackling and strutting their tail feathers, taunting those around them.With such tight quarters and civilians in the way, most casters are falling back to the tried and true.  Barrages of magic missiles stream throughout the chamber.  But, demon resistances to spells are causing most to fizzle with no effect.  The winged women appear to be taking the most damage from the barrages, while the huge demon in front appears to be compeletely unaffected. Attempting to get out of their seating, squabble and even backstabbings to out right brawls are breaking out among the supposedly refined guests of the ceremony. [sblock=Sylvain]The demon up front is a glaberzu. And looks tougher than most.  They cast Reverse Gravity at will, which requires fly to overcome.[/sblock][sblock=Anaerion]The guest of honor turned into an advanced Glaberzu.  Reverse Gravity, Chaos Hammer and corruption by decept are its favorite toys.  26 SR[/sblock][sblock=Combat Round 2]Names in gold still have actions available.117/117 AC 19  K28 ~ Daylily ~ Haste 8r, good weapon, ~ ..83/83.
