The Cultist in front of Don, mutters a dark word, his mass increasing as his muscles bulge in his armor. The scythe swing hard at Don's head.
The Dretches move out into the room, attacking Iko and SteelGate.
The Tiefling moves further into the room
SteelGate slams at a dretch
Lynn turns on the next cultist .
SteelGate's blow is solid but the demon's hide turns away some of the power of the blow. Lynn's blade bites deep into the cultist her second blow clangs off his armor.
Iko gets cornered and uses his well honed reflexes to dodge the attacks of the two dretches then slashes out an attack at at each one.
At 4th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against an opponent that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks an ally with a melee attack. At 8th level, a flowing monk can make both a reposition and a trip maneuver as part of a single immediate action with this ability. At 12th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against any opponent that attacks him in melee, even if the flowing monk is not threatening the opponent who attacks him. A flowing monk can use this ability once per day per monk level, but no more than once per round.
Iko kills the Dretch to his left, the demon cries out as it dies.
Tink steps out of the room and closes the door.
Don smashes the remaining cultist in front of him
Azrael ends both of the demon's plauging Iko, SteelGate and Tink. Don misses the cultist by millimeters.
"Deskari will torture your souls."
Blessing of Courage and Life
"I think you misunderstood. Your souls will be tortured by Deskari. My soul will rest at the bosom of Shelyn. But not today. For today its your turn to leave this world." Lynn objects to the cultists delusions.
SteelGate moves through the door the Dretches came through
Iko follows behind Steelgate.
As Iko and SteelGate step through the door, the door to their Right open. The Horned head of a Tiefling appears, a smug smile on his face and a crystal vial in his hands. Noting that those across the room have not seen him he takes a step out only to note Iko and SteelGate his smug quickly turns to a scowl. The Tiefling throws the vial at Iko.
Lynn's first cut just bounces off the Cultists armor, her second finds purchase and draws some more blood from the man.
You take another 4 damage, next round you must succeed another DC 15 fort save or take 4 more damage. You are also Dazzled Until you save (2 rounds max)
Tink sticks his head through the door at the sound of the dretches falling and then detects magic
Iko, with his quick reflexes, spins, leading his hand out flat and taps the projectile sending it careening off to the side where it explodes.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged attack doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated by natural attacks or spell effects can’t be deflected.
Then Iko charges at the tiefling and tries to bring him down.
Iko's charge is reckless and his attempt to trip the Tiefling ends with Iko hitting the frame of the door instead.
All of Azrael's arrows land with solid blows into the Cultist, Grunting the Cultist's wounds heal with dark ribbons knitting them closed.
The cultist swings again at Don.
Don keeps swinging at any enemy still up.
Stamina 4/7
Iko attacks the tiefling with his blade.
SteelGate steps to gain sight around the wall and attacks.
Lynn tries to put an end to that Scythe wielding bad guy. For one to make her prophesy come true.
"Looks like Deskari gets minced meet." Lynn jokes.
Lynn kills the Cultist in a bloody mess, the Tiefling behinds notes that his back up is gone and his exit is blocked put his hands up.
"I surrender, take me away if you wish"
"Let's go back and see how the others fare." Lynn suggests to Don and moves back to the former room.
"He is lying. We have the whole building before us and once there are more of his kind behind the next door he is going to stab us in the back." Lynn replies. There are times for mercy. But these are not now. she thinks.
So.......? Don lets the question hang in the air.
Lynn leaves the moral dilemma to Iko and turns her attention to the other guy who asked for being sent back to his preferred demon.
The Tiefling keeps his left hand raised and takes his belt off with his right.
You know that you don't want to mess with this belt more than you have to.
"Now what half angel?" The Tiefling hisses
If you really want to capture him I have rope
The Tiefling steps forward, behind it you can see an office most likely that of an officer's or the Quarter Master.
What other forces are in this building?

"Many, I didn't leave this floor, I had my own work to do, to pervert to corrupt." The Tiefling hisses at Don
P9. Priest’s Chambers
A long table and six chairs have been pushed against the
western wall. On the opposite wall, a tapestry depicting a
map of Mendev hangs from a silver rod—the tapestry has been
slashed several times and splashed with filth. A bedroll sits
on the floor, and on the nearby table is an array of alchemical
devices and a long wooden sword case wrapped with cords, as
if ready for travel.
On the table are 3 Holy Symbols of Iomadae and Sheylyn. There is a Sword case and the what works out to be a masterwork Alchemy lab .
Inside is a Cold Iron Long sword, the magical aura on it radiates demon slaying. There is also a note See notes if this doesn't work
The Tiefling is trying to infest the holy symbols with Demon's Plague so that once someone touches they become infested.

Very well. I am Azrael. I'd have your name. For now that is enough. Later we will discuss why you serve who you do and options you have for a better life. I must secure your hands but will leave your feet free and will not blindfold you if you promise to not interfere in our work here or and also to not try to run. He looks hard at the Trifling for a moment, assessing his commitment to this surrender.
The Door glows but "there must be a pass phrase to open the door"
"My name is Othirubo, You may bind my hands. I will not go upstairs with you though, I refuse." Othirubo sits down on the floor.
This cold iron sword will be useful against demons, this door is magically sealed it seems.
So upstairs?
"I don't think we're done down here. There was a passage to the left where we entered the building and here the room ends round, but outside the building is square. So there is more to 'clean up' here." Lynn tells. "Azrael, didn't you read something at the shrine? Some hidden phrase?"

Of course Othirubo. I would never insist you put yourself in harms way, especially since you are unarmed now. He secures the mans hands and frisks him for other weapons and equipment. I would consider it a personal favor if you would share what you do not desire to meet up there. he adds with a friendly smile.
