"My Children I am one you seek, I told you my power does not go beyond this room, you know if you are TRUE believers that I cannot affect mortal events." Iomedae says, when she says that the men Turn readying weapons. "Your Master Wizard and Maker has seen to wisdom, do you not see him there sitting in reverence of my power?"
The Vrock steps down the 2 remaining images of him whirling around in a sickening manor. A mental thrust rushes out at SteelGate.
The Demon in front of Azrael moves forward and swings at him.
If a thoxel demon hits a creature with both ends of its two-bladed sword in the same round, the target is compelled to attack its leader. The target can negate this effect with a successful DC 15 Will save. A creature affected by this effect turns on its leader or commander and attacks as if it were dominated for 1d6 rounds. An animal companion, cohort, or familiar must attack its master, and a called, charmed, dominated, or summoned creature must attack the creature controlling it. If a creature has no leader, it instead attacks a random ally. This is a mindaffecting compulsion effect, and the save DC is Charisma-based.
"You should always remember that The Demons you fight will never play fair." With that Iomedae disappears.
These men are being Mind controlled
One of the Demons Moves up to Attack Lynn
Another Moves to swing at Balthazar for the Ringing in its head.
Balthazar take a hit as the blade cuts deep into his shoulder as he steps to the side lining up the remaining demons.
"To hell's with this, everyone get down!" he yells and brings his arms under and across from him and over in a motion like throwing a ball underhanded as snowballs erupt from him in a 30ft cone.

"Oh, Iomedae. Come here and show that impersonator what power the gods have in this realm! Don't let this heresy go unpunished." Lynn calls out. Even Shelyn has more fight in her than this lame excuse for a goddess.
Then she steps away from the demon that attacked her into fighting reach of her glaive and takes it apart.
Lynn's Glaives almost makes short work of the demon, leaving but scraps of it left.
"If we could avoid killing these men it would be a good thing. They are in thrall of the false 'god'. Focus your attention on her and we should be able to release them."
Tink then, remaining seated, begins to cast a spell, with Blue sitting on his shoulder.
Both Azrael and Balthazar Turn on Lynn attacking her.
All of this seems strange. The inheritor showing up right now? Where are all the demons? They didn't leave, did they? At least the cultists didn't. We would have seen that. These thoughts shoot through Lynn's head, but she can't make head or tail of it.
So she decides to go another route. She casts on herself and her companions and tells "Lead the way, so the glorious time when Drezen was under the rule of your followers may start again. Together with you we will fight whatever is behind that door."
Lynn keeps stabbing at the Demons.
Both Azrael and Balthazar are able to shrug off the mental intrusions of The Demons and their blades.
Lynn whips around Dispatching the Demon behind SteelGate, turning to attack the one On Azrael but only wounding the Demon further.
Did my attack on the demons earlier have any effect?
The Demons avoid the blast from Balthazar and their innate demonic powers protect them from the remainder. The men fair Worse though and are pelted by the Cold Snow that Balthazar releases. They Turn on him in unison, raising their weapons.
Azrael is up
Azrael nocks and arrow, drawing his string back the Demon see's its chance slashing out at Azrael's Bow.
Arazeal's arrows Strike true Dropping the Demon in front of him.
Azrael Almost kills the Demon on Balthazar as the Vrock moves out sight.
The Demon moves out of Azraels sights and attacks Balthazar again.
Lynn works on getting Balthazar free of that demon.
Then she moves to the next room to check where that vrock went to.
Blue flies over to Lynn who grows in size.
Lynn casts invisibility purge.
Lynn lets out a burst of energy that would reveal anyone invisible, not one appears to have been hiding in plane sight.
Balthazar tries to step away but the Demon is to close despite where he goes. Conjuring his will into force Balth unleashes a flurry of magical force.
The darts of force kill the demon in front of him.
The men in the room with blank eyes, turn Attacking those around them.
Tink, Balthazar
Men
Azrael, SteelGate, Lynn <---
Vrock(-171)
Lynn decides to stay with her plan and moves through the men to get at the Vrock.
SteelGate slams at the man closest, trying to knock it out rather than kill it.
SteelGates attack fails to push past the mans armor.
Lynn scores a solid blow on the Vrock, once engaged she notes a few difference about it though.
The Vrock bears no wounds at all and it appears slightly smaller than the other one.

These men attack us! Azrael needlessly points out. What has caused them to suddenly do so? Perhaps if we drop that Vrock? he steps back uses Mythic Orders to let Lynn attack again and then fires at red. I am not your enemy, but I must defend myself. he explains as he fires 4 blunt arrows at the man.
Lynn isn't a big fan of being told what to do. But for Azraels order she makes an exception and stabs the Vrock again.
Two of Azrael's arrows strike the man in front of him, his eyes show now sign of any emotion.
The Vrock Moves down and Lets out a shrill screech, the noise bounces off the walls making everyones heads ring.
Tink, still sitting, begins to cast another spell.
Blue fly's back to Tink, brushing his ears as he flys over Tinks Head and moves towards Azrael.
Balthazar casts create pit under the annoying men in armor.
The man with the Orange Tabard is caught off guard but the sudden change in elevation, he topples backwards into the man behind him taking both of them down. The other man is more sure footed and avoids falling into the pit.
The man with the blue tabard moves forward and swings his Mace at SteelGate.
Lynn keeps working on the Vrock.
Then she uses a swift fervor to heal herself.
Azrael's arrows knock the man out he is firing at, the other two in the Pit appear badly wounded from the fall and the man wacking on SteelGate slides backwards after losing his footing and falls into the pit as well. Silence finally falls into this room, the pit spell slowly starts to fade as the men are brought back up the 4 of them in a pile but all still breathing.
Lynn takles a look around as the fight stops. "Where is that Iomedae lookalike?" she asks carefully watching what else might jump out of a dark corner.
Lynn finds nothing about the Woman who was Iomedae only the men who were here and the chapel dedicated to Iomedae.
