Liliana casts a scorching ray - a silvery beam of pure light-- which seems to strike the first of the bearded figures, but then inexplicably bends at the last second, glancing harmlessly aside. They both laugh.
Suddenly the one on the left winks out of existence. It reappears, in a bamf of sulphur behind Liliana with a hellish grin.
(greater teleport-standard action. It has Liliana threatened)
The other one roars and makes
a furious lunge at Thane with his glaive, missing by mere inches due to Thane's total defense. The flimsy saloon door disintegrates quickly this round.
(The one attacking Thane rages in a battle frenzy- as a barbarian). I removed the interposing saloon door from the map.
Sher rushes over to grab the mannequin. "Flank them -strike now!" he calls hoping the Tactic will give them Mastery of the situation. He hurls the mannequin at the bearded figure standing in the doorway. It lands and stumbles to it's feet, but the figure strikes at it with a backsweep of his glaive. Incredible, the glaive wielder misses, and the mannequin staggers to it's feet timidly. It seems unsure about fighting. It holds up it's feather duster apologetically. After a moment, it tries dusting the gnarled tip of the bearded figures glaive.
(Well, at least that devil has no more attacks of opportunity to use this round since he took it on the mannequin!) Okay, so Master Tactics +3 on flanking is in effect as well as +1 saves.
Delmar lunges, and lunges again with his longspear.
His first jab strikes! It draws.. something other than blood. Delmar shifts himself and lunges again, this time harder, and
strikes again piercing the bearded figure
a second time.
--Ok, this part was my mistake, I kinda deprived Delmar of an attack last round, so I'm letting him attack twice this round. Since one of the devils teleported out of the 'logjam',I'm saying he attacks twice from g-9 rather than bull-rush's. --
Thane drops his sunrod, steps up and
delivers a powerful two-handed swordblow to the devil standing in the doorway. It
reels in pain.
Phelen turns to keep his mind centered on the devil in the doorway. "The master knew you would bungle up the job that's why we were sent. Even a pee brained rat like yourself can see how sad you are. Now tell us what we are supposed to do to Shabu when we find him. You were really stupid to displease the master." Using his emotions like a dagger, Phelen stabs forth at the beasts mind again,
but the devil shrugs it off.
Belok charges past the devil in the doorway in sudden burst. The creature has no opportunity to react.
Belok's own glaive thrust misses, but the beast is now flanked.
"You were right about one thing, there will be no chance to slay mortals before we send you back to hell."

). He draws back his sword and lets loose a mighty swing.
