Hanlin calls down Iomedae's divine vengeance, and a powerful pulse of positive energy spreads across Eiseth's Shoulder. The hell ravens vanish, the hell hounds howl, the lemures moan, and Netokkurai hisses in their suffering. The tiefling seems immune to the effects of the channeling.
Vegazi nocks another arrow and aims at the closest hell hound. The errant missile hurtles past the beast.
Nina's luck is no better, as the fiendish creature evades the jab of her lance. Poor Inky's jaws snap shut on thin air as the hell raven vanished in the wave of Hanlin's channel.

Hanlin doubles up on his fistpump as Vegazi's foes are vaporized. He turns his attention towards the mass of lemures and other devils next. It looks like at least Vegazi and I will make it through another few moments, lets hope the others will too.
"Erlathan, finish off that hellhound already. We've got to reinforce the front!"
|
"T-t-that's a lot of devils all in one place! Goodness!" Erlathan trembles. But then Akela appears, and the ultimate celestial wolf vs hell hound showdown begins. "Right. The hellhound. I'm on it! Akela, use your furious fangs!"
The wolf reaches out to grab the hell hound's paw in its jaw.
Erlathan holds his staff high and conjures a ball of electricity right underneath the hell hound.
|
|
Akela the summoned celestial wolf appears next to the maroon hell hound and attacks the creature. The hell hound sidesteps the attack.
Erlathan conjures a sphere of crackling electricity, placing it next to the same hell hound and tasing the fiendish creature into unconsciousness.
Adjacent to the tiefling, Bishop, Lord Braggett & Sir Kibble become keenly aware of just how eery and fearsome is the skull-like mask Bax wears over her face.
Bax the Mask ducks behind Netokurrai, and using the bearded devil as cover, she fires one of her hand crossbows at the wolf. The small bolt pierces Sir Kibble's hide. The tiefling reloads the hand crossbow with a deft and rapid efficiency. "Against these odds, Vegazi, you and your new friends will surely fail. Just give up now, and embrace your inevitable fate!"

Thanks to his mount's snapping jaws, the distracted barbazu's aim is not quite good enough to land a blow. "Ah, gnome, it seems we will enjoy this dance a few seconds longer."
"Ha! A few seconds is all I need. I just want to draw this out long enough for you to witness your minions turn to dust thanks to the righteous power of our holy knight!" Lord Braggett confidently claims, refusing to believe he was ever unsettled by the masked woman, or that he could unintentionally miss so badly with his flail. He urges Kibble closer, the small bolt in the brave wolf's flank causing little trouble as he bares his teeth at Vegazi's sister in retaliation, hoping to knock the half-tiefling off her feet. "Hit them again, Sir! Show these misguided fiends that the odds are, in fact, very much in our favour." Braggett yells towards Hanlin in defiance of Bax as he whirls his flail once more at the bearded devil.
Standard action: Attack the bearded devil
Kibble
5' Step
Standard action: Attack Bax
The first time Kibble is hit in a round, Braggett will use the Mounted Combat feat, and as an immediate action to try and negate any damage. The hit is negated if the Ride check result is greater than the opponent's attack roll.
For the first two adjacent allies (including Braggett) who are targeted for an attack, Kibble will use the Bodyguard feat to use an AoO and boost their AC.
|
|
Lord Braggett delivers some rousing oratory, but his flail whiffs by the bearded devil.
As Netokkurai moves an arrogant inch and dodges the blow, he chuckles and offers a fiendish grin, "You're amusing, gnome, I'll grant you that. Maybe you should choke up your grip on that stick you're flailing around. You just might hurt someone."
The very focused Sir Kibble sinks his teeth deep into the tiefling's calf. Bax howls, "Cur, I will make you suffer for that!" She snaps her fingers at the red hell hound, and points at the wolf.
The red hell hound opens its maw, exhaling a 10-foot cone of flames at the cavalier and his mount. Then its pack instincts kick in, and it moves to flank the pair.

Surrounded on so many fronts Bishop did his best to appear calm in this unexpected predicament. 'Staying here will see me dead likely. So...'
With his back to Lord Braggett, Bishop pushes slices the summoned creature in front of him looking to make a hole. Not waiting to see if the creature dies he dives in between the crowd of blobs hoping their speed is as slow as they appear to be.

"How dare you mock my fighting style!?" Lord Braggett bristles at Netokkurai, completely oblivious to Bax's directing the hell hound to attack from behind. "I am merely biding my- Kibble, hold still!" He may be too distracted to notice the battle between tiefling and wolf, but Kibble is on the ball, deftly manoeuvring his knight (and himself) away from most of the fiery hound's breath. Finally noticing the hound behind, Braggett raises his singed eyebrows and yells. "Ha! Thought you could sneak up on me did you? Well, you'll have to be quicker than that to get one over on Lord Braggett Fizzlebotham the Fourth!" He starts whirling his flail ever quicker over his head, challenging one and all to have a go if they think they're hard enough.
|
|
Lord Braggett and Sir Kibble avoid most of the hell hound's fiery breath.
Bishop slashes his dagger through the tumorous flesh of the pink lemure, sending it straight back to Hell. Then he steps into the space it vacated, steeling himself for the next wave of fiendish attacks.
The lemures shift around the dodgy rogue, reaching for him with their misshapen claws. This time, only one of the devils draws blood.
Netokkurai drops his glaive in disgust, "Well, if you're too slippery, gnome, I can always attack your little pony!" He flexes his razor-sharp claws and wags his spiky, filthy beard at Sir Kibble. When he grasps the wolf in both hands, the barbazu tilts his head back, chortling in ecstasy as he impales Sir Kibble with his beard. The wolf feels an infernal chill course through his veins.
Vegazi moves forward, looking for a clear shot at her sibling, Bax. The battlefield is just too crowded, and her arrow misses the mark.

Hanlin once again raises his tattooed fist to the sky, calling on the power of his Goddess to clear the way of these lesser devils Please heed my call once more Goddess, this is our time of need!
A weak surge of light flows out from him, much less powerfully than last time. I only hope that's enough.
|
|
"Hey! Stop wagging that filthy beard at Sir Kibble!" Lord Braggett cries out, incredulous that the devil would start cheating like this and, even worse, have the indecency to laugh about it. "Fight me you coward!" The poor wolf is starting to look worse for wear, a crossbow bolt in his flank, and deep claw (or beard) marks around his jowls. However, he is tougher than the average canine and manages to fight off the infernal chill, "GRRRR AARF!" He barks defiantly, more than willing to carry on the good fight.
|
|
With piercing squawks and flapping wings, four hell ravens materialize from within the eery, glowing braziers' blazing flames and attack their nearest targets. One flies toward Vegazi, but its beak misses the ranger. Three of the fiendish birds swarm Lord Braggett; Sir Kibble enables the cavalier to dodge one of the creatures, but one of them manages to peck a hole in the gnome.
Nina and Incandescence charge the red hell hound, impaling it on the dragoon's lance.
Hanlin transmits another wave of divine energy, destroying three more lemures, and blasting the rest.

Erlathan drops his jaw when Hanlin's religious power dissolves three lemures. "Say what I will about divine magic, it certainly has its place against evil! Well done, Hanlin!" The elf applauds.
"Akela, see if you can finish off that mud devil, will you?"
The celestial wolf pounces towards the cyan lemure.
As the wolf tears at the lemure, Erlathan directs his ball o' lightning at the same target.
And uses his standard action to evoke twin missiles from his staff.
|
|
Akela's jaws pierce infernal hide, and though the damage is minimal, the celestial wolf trips the lemure. Then the sphere of sparking electricity rolls toward the prone and wounded devil, which somehow manages to evade the crackling current.
Erlathan then pumps two serpentine bolts of force energy from his snake staff. They hurtle toward the canary-colored bird from hell, and raven feathers explode and vanish before they can hit the ground.
Cornered and in close quarters combat, Bax drops her hand crossbows and draws a pair of fine, matched daggers, ready to pounce. She flashes a predator's grin at Lord Braggett. "Vegazi, you were always a little careless, and seems you still are, even with your little fey friends."

"What the devil!" Lord Braggett, does his best to bat away or dodge the talons and beaks of the new flock of ravens. However, even with Sir Kibble's help, one slips through the defences, "Agh, that's it!!! I've had enough of your cowardly tricks..." With all escape routes blocked off, the peeved knight has no option but to keep his noble steed in the fight. However, that doesn't mean Kibble has to attack. "Kibble, defend yourself! I shall tenderise this fiend for the both of us... Have at you!" Oblivious to the intentions of Bax, he whirls his flail once again at the target of his challenge, leaving Kibble to reluctantly look after himself for a change.
Move action: Push Kibble to defend himself
Standard action: Attack Netokkurai
Kibble:
Standard action: Total Defence
The first time Kibble is hit in a round, Braggett will use the Mounted Combat feat, and as an immediate action to try and negate any damage. The hit is negated if the Ride check result is greater than the opponent's attack roll.
Unfortunately, Kibble cannot take AoO while taking Total Defence.
|
|
Lord Braggett orders Sir Kibble to focus on defending himself, then he clobbers the bearded devil with his magical silver flail, wiping the smile off the barbazu's face.
Her skull-like mask in a frozen grin, Bax commands the hell hound, "Flank the gnome and help me slay him!"
As soon as the hell hound moves, Bax attacks. One of her daggers finds the mark, leaving a vicious slash that won't stop bleeding. "My blades are thirsty, little man."
[dice=TWF Mwk Dagger (Primary), Flank, Sneak Stab, Bleeding Attack; Damage]d20+8+2;d4+2+3d8[/dice]
The hell hound lashes out at the gnome as well, but it can't get through the cavalier's defenses.

Bishop feeling the effects of battle moves beside Hanlin and grabs a vial of healing draught from his cloak downing it in one gulp. Immediately he feels the liquid invigorate his tired body.
'It will have to do I guess'
Throwing the empty vial to ground he takes a deep breath and gets ready to enter the chaos again.
"Hanlin call upon Iomodae to heal the others if you can I don't know how much we can take here."
|
|
Bishop steps away from the fray long enough to quaff a healing draft, and the rogue asks Hanlin to heal as many of their comrades as he can.
Netokkurai is determined to unseat the cavalier and once again attacks the wolf with beard and claws. The barbazu's claws rake Sir Kibble, leaving a bloody gash along his ribcage.
The cyan lemure gets off the ground, and both surviving lemures lurch on malformed feet, following Bishop toward Hanlin, one of them clawing at the rogue and the other attacking the priest.
The maroon hell hound lies on Eiseth's Shoulder, unconscious but breathing.
Another yellow hell raven emerges from the flames of one of the strange iron braziers, and joins the murder of fiendish crows attacking the party. A talon tears at Vegazi, wounding her and Hanlin; two of the crows dig their talons into Lord Braggett; and Nina remains unscathed.
You realize that after a hell raven is slain, another soon emerges from the eery flames to take its place.
Vegazi steps away from the hell raven and looses another arrow at her sibling.

Surrounded by the ever-present murder of crows scratching him to pieces, a devil raking his noble steed to ribbons, and a devil woman intent on taking devastating advantage of every little lapse of concentration... Well, it's enough to make even Lord Braggett question if his earlier bravado and confidence was misplaced. Fortunately, Lady Brightspark is now fighting by his side, having charged in to skewer hounds and devils with the skill befitting the exceptional young knight. Bolstered, Braggett presses his shield arm firmly into his side in an attempt to staunch the gushing wound there, and spits blood defiantly at Bax's feet. "I assure you, madam, it is not the size that counts..." He winces, stifling a pained cough, "I will not be slain so easily!"

Akela tears again at the lemure opportunely.
... And on his turn, targets the hellhound.
Erlathan looks on with grave concern, flipping through his list of spells in his head. "I must do something, and fast! Go on, lightning ball! Get the bearded one!" On command, the storm-in-a-ball rolls along underneath the raven, and stops at Net's hairy legs.
"And if that doesn't do it, meet its twin brother!" The wizard calls, conjuring another lightning ball just like it and dropping it on the red hell hound. A puff of purple smoke floats out from his palm as the casting completes, indicating the exhaustion of Erlathan's more powerful spells.
"Don't be foolish, devils!" The elf shouts with his arms raised up in a premature victory pose. "Control of this battlefield belongs to me!" Then he realizes he's taunting creatures that could easily kill him, and he lowers his arms and curls up. "I mean... Er... Please don't attack me, I hear elves make horrible slaves. You don't want one, trust me."
|
|
Hanlin backs away to properly position himself then calls yet again on his Goddess, this time to heal his allies. Make this one count, our lives depend on it!
He raises his palm to the sky and the holy light rolls over everyone within 30', stopping just short of many of their foes, and skipping entirely some of the others.
Sweat begins to pour down his brow as Iomedae didn't bless him and his allies as much as he'd hoped. "Hold steady friends!"

Nina thrusts her lance into the bearded devil. Netokkurai growls and chuckles, though it seems a little forced, "The only good gnome is a dead gnome! I'll enjoy turning your skulls into a pair of cufflinks."
Incandescence finds it more difficult to wrap her jaws around the hell hound.
Akela bites the lemure while it's down, but his canines can't penetrate its tough, tumorous flesh. Then the celestial wolf turns its attention toward the hell hound, jaws snapping together with a loud clack.
Erlathan directs his sphere of electricity toward the barbazu and then summons another right on top of the hell hound. Netokkurai cackles at his good fortune. "I had an elf once. She was delicious. The secret is some fresh cilantro and a little lime juice."
As Hanlin clanks past the cyan lemure in his fancy armor, the fiend reaches out with a claw, leaving screeching gouges in his brand-new breastplate.
Unscathed by the lemure, Hanlin emits a burst of healing energy encompassing all his friends and a handful of his foes.
Bax the Mask is determined to slay the talkative cavalier, "I will feed your tongue to my hounds, gnome!" She drives another dagger into Lord Braggett, leaving him bleeding.

The gushing wound in Lord Braggett's side magically closes, and the confident knight raises his flail once again in defiance as balls of lightning swallow his foes. "Ha! Then your hounds will s... s..." He deflected one blow, but didn't even feel the second sink into his unprotected thigh, too surprised and distracted was he to see the enemy unaffected by Erlathan's best magic. However, suddenly feeling very weak, Braggett looks down to see a startling amount of blood running down his leg, and a large pool on the floor below. He looks up at Bax, eye wide in disbelief. "Starve?" His eyes roll up into the back of his head, and the deathly pale gnome slumps unconscious in his saddle, succumbing to the blood loss as his precious flail slips from his grasp and clattering on the mountaintop.
With his knight going limp in the saddle on his back, Kibble growls ferociously at Bax, teeth bared and murder in his eyes. "GGRAAAFF!" He pounces in the blink of an eye, jumping up and snapping at the masked woman's neck. The poor unconscious gnome on Kibble's back, flop around like a rag doll as the furious assault continues, held in by luck and a tangle of reigns and harnesses.
For the first two adjacent allies (including Braggett) who are targeted for an attack, Kibble will use the Bodyguard feat to use an AoO and boost their AC.

Bishop watches Lord Braggett slump over atop of Sir Kibble and quickly strikes at the creature hoping he will have time to aid the gnome before it is too late.
Taking advantage of the feral instinct of the creature Bishop moves one way then the other quickly stabbing at the creature with the second move.
|
|
Bishop can't be sure if he faked out the lemure, but he doesn't care, because he killed it anyway. The fiend vanishes, dispatched back through the gates of Hell.
Netokkurai shifts to a spot within reach of Nina and reaches out to embrace her. Inky helps the summoner evade the bearded devil's claws.
The remaining lemure raises its misshapen arms toward Bishop. The rogue bobs and weaves, and the fiend gurgles in dismay.
The hell ravens renew their assault on the party. The cyan bird gouges Vegazi with one of its talons, and the green one scratches Sir Kibble. The yellow hell raven slices Nina with both its talons.
The flames atop the iron braziers continue to flicker, lapping at the overcast sky, but nothing emerges. For the moment...
Vegazi steps back, away from the hell raven's beak and talons and looses an arrow at the hell hound, and slays the creature.

"Go, lightning balls! Avenge Lord Braggett with the power of ten million volts!"
The two lightning spheres crackle along the ground, the first enveloping the lemure in pure electricity, and the second frying the hairs on Netokkurai's beard.
Akela charges past the raven and snaps his jaws at Net.
"That's the way! Make him bleed!" The elf calls. "And now, my most desperate move yet. I would only regret not doing everything I could to stop this fiend. Sometimes, even the most frail of creatures must get up close with death!"
Erlathan snaps his fingers and disappears. And then you hear his voice.
"I've got to move, come let me take you on a party ride, and I'll teach you, teach you, teach you ..."
He suddenly appears on the landing next to Bishop.
"The dimensional slide!"
Erlathan then activates his Quarterstaff of Entwined Serpents in the middle of a bow.

Erlathan waves the fingers of one slender hand, and the sphere of bundled electricity rolls into the barbazu.
The fiend shakes, his teeth rattle, and his beard quivers, "WHOOAAA! Don't tase me, bro!"
Erlathan then points his quarterstaff of entwined serpents at the yellow raven, sending two black and white bolts of force energy into the fowl fiend. The bird vanishes in an explosion of feathers.
Heeding his conjurer's command, Akela menaces Netokkurai. The green hell raven snaps its beak at the passing celestial wolf, tearing off a sizable chunk of fur-covered flesh. Undeterred, Akela locks his jaws around the bearded devil's ankle. The wolf utters a deep growl, unable to harm or trip the fiend.
The iron braziers' spooky flames snap and crackle in the background...

Hanlin again calls on Iomedae to heal his companions with her power Please, oh please, that cocky little gnome deserves to continue his Knighthood, as does his noble steed! "Help is on the way friends!"
He raises his palm up and lets the light envelop everyone yet again.
After the channel goes through he moves towards the most damaged of the party to do a bit more focused healing.
|
|
"Ow! Dumb birds...we'll deal with you in a minute," Nina snaps, her eyes focused only on the devil looming in front of her. "Hey Inky, back it up!"
Inky obliges, taking a step back to allow Nina the proper reach with her lance. As the eidolon's rider jabs at the devil once more, Inky decides to try taking a bite out of the nearby hell raven for good measure.
|
|
Hanlin releases another burst of healing divine energy, this time to great effect, reviving even the gnome dangling from a saddle.
Inky bites Netokkurai but her fangs can't pierce the bearded devil's infernal hide. Then the eidolon steps back and Nina jabs at the barbazu with her lance. Netokkurai dances away from the weapon. "MWAHAHAH, little one. You and your kitty are so cute, it's almost a shame to slay you."
Blood seeps from the wounds of Bax the Mask, lying at your feet. The red hell hound stabilizes, unconscious. And the iron braziers' spooky flames snap and crackle in the background...

Lord Braggett opens his eyes with a loud gasp, suddenly sitting up straight in the saddle again. He blinks a few times, taking in his surroundings with a look of bemusement, Hanlin suddenly by his side and Bax laying dying on the ground with Sir Kibble looming over her, bloodied teeth bared. "Haha!" He laughs defiantly, finally realising what just happened. "The Knights or Arwyll Stead will never fall!" He calls happily, giving his comrades a thankful salute, and his dropped flail a rueful look, before directing his noble steed to wheel around. "Come Kibble, I want the last thing this fiend sees to be the glorious sight of a charging knight." He rides up beside Vegazi, using his exceptional skills to make it nearly impossible for Netokkurai to lay another hand on him or his steed. He gives the devil a confident grin as he plucks a vial from his belt and downs it's contents.
The first time Kibble is hit in a round, Braggett will use the Mounted Combat feat, and as an immediate action to try and negate any damage. The hit is negated if the Ride check result is greater than the opponent's attack roll.

Bishop continues his lethal dance with the last remaining lemure, but his dagger's slash is wide and misses the fiend.
At his master's command, Sir Kibble withdraws from the front lines. Netokkurai and the green hell raven attack Lord Braggett, as the cavalier moves away. Reaching Vegazi, the gnome quaffs a healing draught.
"Flee, you coward!" Netokurrai calls after the retreating cavalier and his steed. Then he steps toward Nina and Incandescence, "I am determined to feast on the bones of at least one gnome this day!" One of his razor-sharp claws penetrates the summoner's defenses, even as Inky tries to help Nina dodge the bearded devil's blows.
With single-minded focus, the sole lemure attacks Bishop, but its ragged claws are no match for the rogue's combat expertise.
The cyan hell raven pursues Vegazi, pecking her brow with its beak, wounding the ranger, and vicariously, also the priest of Iomedae.
The green hell raven, offended by Hanlin's aura of goodness, attacks the cleric with beak and claws. A talon rakes his cheek from ear to chin.
"Don't let the barbazu cheat death again by teleporting away to safety!" Vegazi ignores the pesky hell raven and steps closer to her target, aiming her bow at the bearded devil. The arrow strikes true, with some effect.
And the iron braziers' spooky flames snap and crackle in the background...

Perhaps in an effort to lure Neto into a trap, Inky engages in some rather odd evasive withdrawal maneuvers to move further to the devil's south.
Come on Nina, come on guys, follow along with me here...
"Yeah, sure, but any good ideas on how to do that??" the eidolon calls back to Vegazi.

Nina keeps her gaze locked on the barbazu as Inky obligingly falls back so she has room to maneuver with her lance again. "You sure you wanna try it? Ever have a chip get stuck in your throat and it just scrapes and pokes you all the way down your gullet?" she asks, hoping to stall until Akela or someone else can move in on the devil's flank...
"Because that's what's in store for you if you eat a gnome. Painful, pointy misery alllll the way down!"
