Speaking with such destain she utters, "So you think it is safer to retreat over here do you? Well you might have misjudged me, you are about as much a threat to me as a Lemure is, now begone from this plane!"Two balls of crackling eldritch energy fling themselves at the devil, and then veer off at the last second, impacting the wall. "You want Lemures?" the bearded devil snarls. "Have them. "He points his Glaive at Liliana's feet and a purple glowing pentagram appears. <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42211" target="_blank">It sputters for a second, and then fades out.</a> "or.. perhaps not." mutters the devil under his breath. He takes a step back to the south. The other bearded devil yells "keaaarrgh!" and turns his glaive towards where Belok is in the far room. He slashes at Belok furiously, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42212" target="_blank">but Belok deftly steps out of the way. </a> After missing, the devil then suddenly tries to make a break out of the circle of blades facing him, and Belok seizes the opportunity to sneak attack-<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42214" target="_blank">striking the devil squarely as it breaks past into the far room. </a> The devil is now badly <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42215" target="_blank">hurt</a>, but still dangerous. Sher moves up, and with his scythe, yells "Strike sure!" and makes a deceptively flashy maneuver that ends in a sweep at the legs of the one devil threatening Liliana. The Devil tries to fend Farhid off as he closes to make the trip, but <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42217" target="_blank">misses</a>. However, the devil <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42218" target="_blank">sidesteps the sweeping scythe</a>. OOC: this was a good plan and I'm sorry it didn't work-Sher missed the melee touch attack. The only reason the devil got the AoO was because the scythe isn't a reach weapon so he had to come in close enough to use it.On the plus side, once again, no more AoO from that devil. I also had to place you closer because the devil moved away a step. Delmar breaks around the other side of the table, dropping his longspear near Liliana, and in the same maneuver, drawing his silver dagger. He rushes at the devil who turns suddenly, from having just attacked Sher Farhid and <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42220" target="_blank">deflects Delmar's dagger thrust</a>, but just barely. "priest!" snarls the Devil. "You will be first to die."Thane rushes into the far room where Belok faces the bearded devil alone, and tries to move back into the flanking position. This time it is the devil who seizes the opening and strikes at Thane with his wicked saw-toothed glaive, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42222" target="_blank">cutting him badly with a wicked slash</a>. Belok can see a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42224" target="_blank">spreading bloodstain </a> beneath the shoulder-guard of Thane's armor. OOC: This was a judgement call. By the time it was Thane's turn to act, the devils had both moved away, so I thought Thane might keep trying to flank or fight, and he wouldn't have left Belok alone. He couldn't really attack without taking an attack of opportunity from the reach weapon, and as long as he's taking that, I might as well try and maintain the flank so that Belok could sneak attack again once his initiative fase came up. On the other hand- this is the first damage (5 points but this will get worse)any PC has suffered in this battle. As compensation for moving him like that, I'll reroll his attack for him (which he had already posted a 'missing' roll, butnow there are new modifiers). Also, Thane gets to attack from a flank now. See below...Thane notes that the creature is flanked and grins. "Time to go home now... hope you had a good vacation bub." Thane grimaces and slashes at the devil with his bastard sword, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42225" target="_blank">missing.</a> OOC: whoops.. maybe I shouldn't have rolled. But the other roll would have missed too!Phelen turns his attention on the devil facing Liliana, Delmar and Sher Farhid.  Spewing forth more lies he yells "Wretched things, the master needs true servants for this realm. You are trespassers on our home!" Continuing to probe for the weakness in the beasts mind, Phelen pushes forward with a stab of psionic will again. This time <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42227" target="_blank">he penetrates the shield of power surrounding the extraplanar creature</a>! He can feel contact with the devil's infernal mind. But the infernal creature counters with mental defenses of his own, resisting Phelen's will, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42228" target="_blank">but just barely</a>. In the far room, Belok suddenly lunges at the unprotected back of the devil threatening Thane, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42229" target="_blank">striking hard</a>. The Devil reels <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42068" target="_blank">in agony</a>.OOC: they let me post maps again! </blockquote>
