Tohram walks over to Edmin and whispers: Try to let the dog man attack Morsum. It is rather tough to hit these days as you have discovered in training.
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target's Hit Dice + the target's Wisdom modifier. If you are successful, the target is shaken for 1 round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent in this way if they are within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.

Jax will watch as Bref charges the hound and he'll slowly follow into the room (1 move). He'll try to move within 5' of the Archon and use his standard to fight defensively. (+2 ac).
Next round, he'll take a 5' step up to flank with Bref and attack with Spellstriking Arcane Mark, using the Cardinal's Signature in Infernal.

If there's no possibility of hitting an ally, Jax will just fire his crossbow then. Its not likely to hit, but its better than nothing. If its possible to hit an ally, then he'll keep attempting Dace DC 13 until it hits.
Rolling Init for Zimu and Ragnar the dog: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 Oh, and Grumblejack:1d20 ⇒ 14
Okay, Init order is Bref, Ragnar, Jax, Grumblejack, Zimu, Morsum, Tohram, Edmin, Dren, Dogman. The ones who are going to melee have already rolled their attacks. If you have any last-minute tactical suggestions, do them now; otherwise I'll assume that Jax opens the door and the the meleers rush in.

They don't give that kind of description. And I could have him say 'Spawn of Evil! I shalt smite thee!' or such. But, come on. That's officer talk! Dude's a low-HD celestial with no wings. What does that say to you? To me it says foot soldier or beat cop. Enlisted man. First responder. Grunt.
But he's still a celestial, right? I'd think it would be like going up against a single lance corporal POW Marine. He's just an enlisted dud, no special skills, imprisoned behind enemy lines. But he's still a goddamn Marine.

I really don't think we should do this combat but since the ball started rolling, can we at least cast our spells to help the party pre combat, he's taunting us and making us come to him where he will no doubt have the advantage, let's not give him the satisfaction.

DM must be be a great table DM too, although since he rolls high maybe not 'beloved'.

It's readily apparent that there are fanatics in Heaven and hell, and everywhere in between.

Cуровую will move back even further and delay to cast a Force Missile right before the archon goes, in case he casts instead of attacking but I doubt it will even get through the SR but at still trying to be effective.
Why did we not have the Judge send in summoned pests?

This is seeming like a terrible idea. Jax chats idly to Cimu while taking aim and firing, watching the crossbow bolt get knocked aside. Do you think he'd fancy that cup of tea still?
assuming if Bref's 18 missed, Jax's 16 missed as well.
He fired prior to them going into melee so I didn't account for the -4 from melee.
Dren will open the door and slam his mind into the creatures...

Clever: it's a Supernatural ability, so it goes right past his Spell Resistance. Okay, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Got 'im! I'll roll for the Confusion effect when it's his initiative.
That's a hit. Okay, the dogman takes 11 points of damage and the debuff is off you.
Jax missed, the Judge cast Shield this round, and Ragnar the dog can't get in to attack. Zimu needs to roll a caster level check to get through the dogman's SR with her Force Missile (or whatever other spell she casts).
That leaves Grumblejack. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 242d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10 Unfortunately, his hit does not bypass the dogman's DR -- it seems to bounce or slide right off his angelically tough flesh.
Lance-Corporal Dalgoda's turn. Rolling for Confusion:1d100 ⇒ 77 That's "attack nearest creature". The only difference is that now he won't use Power Attack and he'll attack at random instead of focusing on taking down Sir Edmin. So, (Bref, Edmin, Morsum) 1d3 ⇒ 1 he attacks Bref.[/ooc]
2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9 9 points of damage on Bref.
Dren's mental attack confuses the dogman, leaving him unable to tell foe from foe. However, years of combat training take over, and he lashes out with his greatsword, hitting Bref.
Okay, Round 2. Zimu still has her spell or other action from Round One, so she can act twice. Bref, Morsum, Edmin and Grumblejack are in melee. Edmin has shaken off the debuff. Dogman is at -11 hp. Initiative is "everyone, then dogman".

1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 = 20 for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 add 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 if somehow we have flank
Kanight want us outside room? Bref calls if he responds with an affirmative Bref tumbles out of the room to allow for a flank opportunity. If he does not say to do so he says and chews on.

Terrible choice this! Considering I missed again, Bref will tumble back outside the room to prepare another charge.

Bref will be charging him again so please leave a lane. Gotta get rid of that penalty
The Judge looks at Grumblejack: You misunderstand me my friend. Your job is to bash. Morsum will block the dogman and allow you to swing over his head.

I have other things but this may be one of the more effective against him with his SR.
And that is why this ability is not that powerful. 2 uses to no major effect. At least I have 6 more to use :)
Okay, Zimu will throw a couple of Force Missiles. Rolling to overcome SR: 1d20 ⇒ 81d20 ⇒ 18 One success, for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage. And that lifts the debuff as well -- so that's Sir Edmin, Morsum, Grumblejack and Zimu de-debuffed.
Grumblejack strikes:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 woo hit! 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14 4 points get past DR. So, dogman has taken a total of 19 points of damage.
