Firinn does indeed step sideways, firing two more arrows from point blank range!
Khaz smashes his mace into the the Demon, Firinn and Terry both loose Arrows it to it but the Demon remains standing.
The Demon turns on Terry Biting at him, swinging a claw at each Khaz and Jocasta.
Terry's Armor parts as the bite wounds him leaving an ugly scar, Jocasta takes a blow from a claw along her exposed neck
Mutilation (Su)
An abrikandilu’s bite causes horrific and hideous wounds that not only mar beauty but supernaturally diminish a creature’s sense of self-worth. A creature bitten by an abrikandilu must succeed at a DC 13 Fortitude save or gain a –1 penalty on all Charisma-based checks. This penalty stacks, up to a –5 penalty, and it lasts even after the wounds are healed. The penalty slowly fades with time, diminishing by 1 every 24 hours until it reaches 0.

Assuming it 5' stepped to Firrin's vacated position, I start by flanking w/ Khaz. As will Lorena.
Terry hopes he can put this blade to good use . . ..
Khaz brought his mace down squarely between the demon’s eyes. Even if it wasn’t made of cold iron, the blow was a skull-breaker. He couldn’t imagine anything staying standing after that.
Jocasta seems a bit surprised that her demonic foe dropped to her weak slash, but she sidesteps past the fallen body to make more room as she maneuvers to strike at the next one. She lashes out just a few seconds after Khaz's devastating blow - probably a pointless effort, really.
The combined efforts of the group drop the final demon, the smell of decay is a bit over powering. Two bodies lay dead and mutilated on the ground, scraps of books and other items lie all over the ground. Searching around you find a Morning Star leaning against the wall.
A +1 Morning Star that is Adamantine
With a grim look on his face Khaz moved what was left of the bodies towards the wall and covered the remains with a cloak. ”We’ll ensure they are properly buried after we finish this. But until then I hope this keeps their remains away from any further depravity.”
Jocasta pauses to make sure there are no many other threats, then she scours the room for other clues or useful items. Upon noting the odd mace she gestures and casts detect magic, then raises an eyebrow.
"This mace is enchanted. It's also adamantine! A very valuable weapon."
Terry Checks the next door over.
Feeling confident that it is not Trapped. Moving in to the next room a door is striaght a head and one to the left, Checking the door to the left.
Again he feels it isn't trapped
The door to the North
Terry finds it is not trapped.
Khaz didn’t know why...but he wanted to go left. So left he went!
Terry Tries the handle on the door, it only opens a sliver before sticking where it is.
You feel it is probably Barred from the other side.
As the Door Rattles a bit with Terry Trying to open it the door to the north Opens and a Tiefling looks like he is pushed out.
The Teifling seeing everyone is surprised Stabs out at the Holy looking Dwarf.
Khaz's Impressive Armor holds and the Sword doesn't penetrate
Khaz felt the blade scrape off of his armor. He was just as surprised as the enemy, only he was much slower to react. The question now was, would the tiefling live long enough for Khaz to even return the blow?
As the teifling shuffles a bit, Terry pulls his rapier and tries to adjust things a bit. Uncertain as to Lorena's position, and not seeing any good flanking partners for now, he doesn't move, but simply strikes from in front of the barred doorway.
"Door's barred from the inside. Looks like that one might be in a minute, too."
After the museum room is cleared, Lorena makes sure to call out and let the others know that she hasn't run away...yet, at least. She follows along from the shadows as the group moves on, coming to the barred door. Being too close to the tiefling emerging from the other door to use her weapon, she instead strikes out at him with her claws, catching him unaware in the side as she fades back into view.
Lorena tears into the Tiefling twice, leaving deep clawed gouges, Terry Finishes him off with a pointed strike of his Rapier.
Some rustling can he heard in the next room.
One through the door you can see.
Tripping over the dead tiefling, Khaz went for the last for standing.
Firinn shifts to get a clear line of sight and fires at the exposed enemy.
Two weapons come out from the west side as Khaz Charges in.
The Gauntlet connects but the Glaive going around another person misses, Khaz's blow is turned aside as well from the punch to the side of the head.
The Magenta tabarded "Knight?" backs away from Khaz a Glaive in his hand as well.
"Deskari lend me your destruction to bring down upon this vile Paladin." THe man shouts.
Bleeding Strike.
Magic Quickly infuses the man's weapon as it snakes out towards Khaz.
.... missing.....
Firinn's shot finds its mark Though
The door to Khaz's Right opens, a Tiefling looks out.
"What in the name of..." Seeing the Paladin he sneers "Ohh the do gooders have arrived."
Both of the other "Knights?" do the same as the man before them.
The Tiefling pulls out a vial and throws it at Khaz.
Khaz took the blow, parried the second, and dodged the vial. ”Come at me! Saves me the effort of hunting ye rats down.”
Jocasta is slow to react, but unhesitatingly moves into Khaz' left and slashes with her blade at one of the cultists . Her countenance is grim, though she doesn't flinch from further combat - they've made it this far, after all.
Terry moves into the room, and then attempts to tumble past the glaives into a potentially safer location . . ..
Once he reaches his destination, Terry attempts to stick Red.
"Come on in! That should have cleared the way!"
This round
One of the tieflings had the audacity to wound Khaz. So the paladin put his mace into the fallen one’s chest.
Seeing as her spear has been ineffective in the close quarters of the building, Lorena sets it down in the corner and covers herself in divine energy before moving into the room next to Khaz.
Terry Tumbles in, not as fancy as he though, Drawing the Ire of all 3 of the Glaive wielding Cultists.
Jocasta swing but the Armor on the Man a head of her holds her blade at bay,
The Magenta Tuniced man moves up behind Terry punching at him.
Seeing the apparent leader out of melee range, Firinn draws and fires in a blur.
Sadly his first shot, with a fraction longer to aim, was the only true one.
Go Khaz
This round
[dice=Hit the tiefling who manages to damage me]1d20+8
[dice=Damage]1d6+13One of the tieflings had the audacity to wound Khaz. So the paladin put his mace into the fallen one’s chest.
While Khaz’s first blow was accurate, his follow up was non-existent. Which is what happens when one gets his weapon caught on the enemy.
Khaz overestimates himself and cracks the floor tiles.
The Tiefling Hurls another Vial at Khaz hoping his aim is better this time.
The cyan tuniced Cultist backs away from Jocasta, swinging his Gliave around trying to Knock Jocastas weapon out of her hand.
The Red cultist moves away from Terry, stabbing at the still flanked Rogue.
A red Glow pluses from the Gliave into Terry, the wound he took bleeds viciously.
Jocasta twists away from the fire and steps forward to retaliate against one of the other cultists, making a quick slash with her curved blade.
Lorena is able to avoid the flames, retaliating against the vial-throwing tiefling with fierce strikes of her claws.
Jocasta cuts into a cultist, drawing a growl from the man and crimson on her blade. Lorena manages one hit on her Fellow Tiefling, leaving a gash down the man's left arm.
Terry adjusts his position, and attempts to stab the "mad bomber."
