Adrian stands in front of the gargoyle, bleeding slightly and grimaces. Planting the spear in the ground, firmly holding it in one hand he strikes strange rod of golden-like metal onto the flagpole. It rings, the sound clear and true and the bard immediately catches the tone. But instead of uplifting hymn, dark melody brings anger to the yard. The song holds power of demon wards in it and companions feel their own power responding in turn. In moments, the song curses demon spawn, those serving the demons and humans working with demons to create demon-spawn. The song manifests as burning fires, cleansing evil wherever it can be found.
The power Adrian unleashed leaves all the foes shaken. The Gargoyle are burned and the one facing him continue to burn. The flames seem to have no effect on the Demon.
The canny old Dwarf quickly spots the real threat behind the attack - or at least he hopes the tricky demons don't have another ally yet hidden and waiting to spring. Once more he puts his bow to work, doing his best to pick at the bits of demon that poke out from behind it's cover. The arrow fly true. But there is something strange about the demon's hide, something more than the normal resistance to possessed by most demons that 'Keva can overcome. The arrows hit and hurt him, but perhaps not as badly as would normally be expected. Still his wounds are terrible. He extends a finger at the dwarf and a ray of black necromantic energy lashes out to strike the Dwarf squarely. The terrible power leaves the old dwarf feeling like a raw recruit. (take four temporary negative levels). The demon sidesteps out of sight behind the eaves and statuary on the roof (total cover). The gargoyles, though shaken and in one case on fire, attack in a vicious whirling storm of claws, teeth and horns. Despite the inferiority of the attacks they are only marginally successful. Vir is struck by a bite and a gore attack (8 hp damage) while the Gargoyle facing the dwarf manages one lucky or canny claw attack that slips past the s dwarf's defenses (5 hp damage) The flaming Gargoyle fails to damage Adrian.
OOC: Vir, Adrian and 'Keva may act. Thorn and Fatoon may attempt another stave against the hold magic in hopes of acting next round.
