"Are the chained people acceptable targets?" asks Ceara. There's no sarcasm or anything in her voice, it seems to wants to learn what rules surface people normally use.

"What? No! They're probably just prisoners. No need to kill them."
"Besides, they are not much of a challenge." Hobbes says with a wink. "But the two fighting over them, they need to die and die soon. Back to the tattoo, Cassie." Hobbes says as he puts his cat down.
Cassie scratches herself and then shrinks down to the cat tattoo again.

"Whatever we choose to do, lets be quick. I can feel taint nearby and where there's taint spellscarred or plagued may be" Brujo face turns serious as the his body feels, and calls out to the taint beyond.
Hobbes signals his companions to follow them and whispers, "Get in position. We'll take them en masse. Just the monsters, not the chained prisoners."

Erik hoofs it up behind everyone else, his heavy armor rattling as he does so.
"Managed to find some more trouble already? Well we are in the business for it," he says while drawing his songblade.

I got a 20.
"Don't guests deserve a kinder welcome? A truly gracious host would open the door for us," says Erik, matching the voice's bravado.
"Don't guests deserve a kinder welcome? A truly gracious host would open the door for us," says Erik, matching the voice's bravado.
"In happier times, that would be true," murmurs the woman's voice.
The mood is slightly marred by the clanking of chains and a low wail and ruined still further by the male voice Kel heard earlier adding,
"Just stop messing about woman and get ready."
Brujo walks toward the door and opens it
The most gloriously beautiful woman Brujo has ever seen stands invitingly behind the door, beckoning him in.
A human man in bedraggled priest's vestments stands a little further off, holding a set of chains - possibly caked in rust or more probably blood. Brujo has time to note devils standing beside winches before his eye is drawn upwards and he sees what can only be the Choir.
Some twenty humans are chained to the ceiling and are forced to bend and stretch to avoid the spiked mechanisms surrounding them. In truly sadistic touch, the unfortunates are chained in such a way that any movement on their part pulls one of their comrades into the spikes. It is from here that the tragic wails of pain are coming.
At the sight of such an inhuman, grizzly display, Erik is speechless for the first time and overcome with uncharacteristic anger.
"Betcha she's a succubus. Lousy friggin' demons." Hobbes mutters under his breath.
** spoiler omitted **
Perigia instantly sees the woman and the devils for what they are. Hobbes guessed correctly.

Corrupting Touch (standard, at-will) v AC

Secondary Attack (Will)
The target cannot attack the succubus, and if the target is adjacent to the succubus when the succubus is targeted by a melee or a ranged attack, the target interposes itself (as an immediate interrupt) and becomes the target of the attack instead. The effects last until the succubus or one of its allies attacks the target or until the succubus dies.
If the target is still under the effect of this power at the end of the encounter, the succubus can sustain the effect indefinitely by kissing the target once per day. The succubus can affect only one target at a time with its charming kiss.
Dominate (standard, at-will) Charm
Ranged 5; vs Will; the target is dominated until the end of the succubus’s next turn.
