I've moved myself in the map near the deveil we're talking to. But I think I'm not the only one there.
What wonders me is that the devil hasn't attacked us yet.
Devil, why can't nobody pass? This place is a temple, so people are supposed to come and preach, no?

"It's a devil. If it's guarding a temple, i'm betting my chances of dis being a temple of evil."
Who's carrying the oils of bless weapon?
Sele is not going to have troubles with it, but maybe Kenji would like to have it, a monk's fist counts as manufactured weapon for those purposes.
Staying behind the others, Chyras quietly casts guidance on everyone.

Keera looks at Sele, waiting until he raises his sowrd to act.
Guys, can you move yourselves in the map? I'm the only one near the devil

Chyras casts summon monster for a celestial giant spider.
Web, rt:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
It is webbed/entangled, requiring a DC 12 escape artist, or DC 12 str check to break. Since it's the one webbed, it takes a -4 penalty on the str check, unless it lands for solid footing.

Keera casts bull's strengh on Sobrino and sends him to flank with Sele.
Help Sele Sobrino!
Yes the guy who's fighting and has a strange face, but don't say that aloud.
Very sorry, somehow didn't grasp that everybody'd gone.
A surprising combination of muscle and grace allows the devil to easily escape the webbing (automatic success on Escape Artist). Still, he's been deprived of precious time.
Sele deals the devil a grievous wound, and then a torrent of water hits him square in the face! Gut opened and face caved in, he attempts to fly away (making a full withdrawal)...
Acrobatics to avoid attacks of opportunity:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
In a spectacle certain to fascinate theologians for centuries to come, Kenji grabs the devil and takes him down with him! By the time they land, I'm going to say that the fiend is thoroughly unconscious.

Kera applauds at Kenji actions. Send him back to his plane and we can go on

Come to my side Sobrino. My friends doesn't want to kill that creature. Yet calls Keera her comanion.
Knowledge planes:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 I'm specially interested in knowing how the creature can flee from us.
[dice=Knowledge planes]1d20+11 I'm specially interested in knowing how the creature can flee from us.
In addition to their obvious ability to fly, this order of beings can teleport from place to place at will (makes you wonder why this one didn't try that).

this kind of creatures can teleport at will and I'm ot sure if they can even pinned so, why risk at all? Sele, chop it's head of an let's go on
Despite her words, Keera calls Sobrino to her side, so the roc doesn't continue bitting the devil. And wait to see if the paladín agrees with her.
"Maybe teleportation doesn't work in here... or the creature might be bound to this place and couldn't use that ability... whatever the reason, I concur, Keera, we need to put it down permanently. Sele, would you do the honors please? or should I?"
The fortress is your oyster (kinda). Where to now? You can go forward, up the stairs in the foyer, or into the little room on the other side of the secret passage.

Shall we go back and check the opther room before going further?
Chyras, I assume your eagles are gone now that you've summoned the spider? You actually should have had to dismiss the former before summoning the latter - or was one of them a summon monster spell, rather than spell-like ability?
Although formerly full of finery, this large hall has been completely ransacked. Scarlet drapes lie in tatters on the floor, obsidian pedestals are smashed, and shards of red and black clay cover the floor. The southeast corner is the only exception—a large table sits there undisturbed. On it, the cultists have reconstructed an idol of Moloch: a large, armored flame creature with the head of a bull. Three torches line the chamber, but they are near the end of their lives now, casting only dim light. As a result, it is easier to see (as some of you surely do) the light shining through the viewport from the secret passageway, which is concealed as part of a torch sconce.

I'll just spoiler that, if we didn't discover the sorcerer the way we did, he'd conjure a harmless image of a skeletal warrior to try and scare us away, in this room.
By the way, did you decide to loot the armory across the way?
The bridge leads to the second part of the citadel, which looks like a giant stone bonfire from the outside. Inside, the walls are of thick stone covered with plaster with 20-foot high ceilings. It is still very hot.
The red glow of lava dimly lights this vast room. Rivulets of molten rock thread the hall’s floor, fed by streams of lava flowing down the walls. Four enormous forges are spaced evenly around the room, with large hammers, bellows, anvils, and tanks of water dripping on the lava below. A circular ramp rises gently near the center of the room, looping above the lava channels before disappearing into the gloom above. This room is actually well-ventilated, providing some relief from the oppressive heat of the rest of the fortress.
Otherwise, the room is dominated by the noise of hammering, which comes from its sole occupant - a Dwarf forging a spear point. He doesn't seem to notice you - yet.

Move to where I feel he can't see me and use detect evil on him
Paladin detect evil 1 round works like 3 rnds of focusing on a target with the spell
If Evil:
Advance into the room with Greatsword drawn to cut him off from escape
If not Evil:
With Greatsword not drawn
Move towards the dwarf in a measured pace
"Hello friend, what be you doing in these devil infested halls other than forging weapons, I am a Paladin of Milani on a mission to act against the cultists of the arch devil Moloch."

Looting is allways welcome. And when we finish this floor, I want to go up where the ilusions tryed to lurk us. flying and as protected as posible, of course
A dwarf? behind a devil? He must be a slave or a worshipper thinks Keera as she looks around.
Sele sees no true Evil in the Dwarf's heart, and introduces the party. The Dwarf turns slowly around and looks the party over with his one eye, a wickedly-gleaming pinpoint. He smiles and bows obsequiously.
"Greetings to you. I am Vulcus, smith on retainer to Mistress Hafshi *giggle*. If ye are here to fight the Molocheans, then I suppose we have a problem. Mistress Hafshi bought my loyalty in the slave market, when I swore that I would help fuel her cause if she bought my freedom *giggle*. Which she did. It is my obligation as part of my duties to stop you, you know."
The smith stares at you. It is hard to tell underneath all that beard, but you think he's biting his lip.
"She did not buy my loyalty for much, though." He grumbles.

Really? So that Mistress Hafshi asked a smith to stop those who dispatched a Magaav? Your skills should be impresionant.
Or your Mistress' interest in your well being is veeeery low? She adds with a smile.
Also, as we are stopped right here and we're not making attemps to go past you, we can talk a little, don't you think?
I'm specially interested in who's that Mistress Hafshi? Besides your former owner, of course

"Friend Vulcus we need to get past to deal with the cult.. may we presume that you are busy and could not hear us at the moment of our passing so we may help you out of your current predicament?
