Low-light Vision:A creature with low-light vision can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of dim light. It retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Block Attacks (Ex):Once per round, when the creature is hit by a melee or ranged attack, it can attempt a melee attack using its highest attack bonus. If this result exceeds the result from the attack against it, the creature is unaffected by the attack (as if the attack had missed).
Second Save (Ex):Whenever the creature fails a saving throw against an effect with a duration greater than 1 round, it can keep trying to shake off the effect. At the start of its turn, if its still affected, it can attempt the save one more time as a free action. If this save succeeds, the effect affects the creature as if it had succeeded at its initial saving throw.
If the effect already allows another saving throw on a later turn to break the effect (such as for hold monster), this ability is in addition to the extra saving throw from the effect.

This barbaric humanoid bears ragged equipment and armor in sullen colors. It has coarse body hair and a stooped posture like some primitive man but with a grayish-green skin tone and bestial facial features beneath a black hood. Burning red eyes peer below a low, sloping brow, just above a flattened nose, and prominent tusk-like teeth.

"This might be a very difficult fight. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting past them or incapacitating them instead?" He asks, as he tries to distract them!

Krynn sighs. "I was hoping for us to be able to reach him and not have to do this. But I suppose it's best that he has at least one other person with him for now. Hurry to get to us!" he calls to the others.
He casts a spell, and he turns into a humanoid earth elemental. Then, he disappears through the floor, burrows under the door from his earthglide ability and surfaces on the other side near Rook, using his Aegis to perfectly sense where the crystal was.
Once up, and now huge in size, he brandishes his Katana and readies himself for the coming onslaught directed at him and Rook!

Meanwhile: Elsewhere.
This is your automatic opening updater from Leashed-In, THE Abyssal mercenary contact service. A new job opening has become available at a position you applied for, client indicated that you are hired, if you are still interested.
Eh, why not, that one was decently well paid, so, where?
@GM Liliya can teleport thrice per day, but would need an in character reason to know where.
"Deception is not my Forte." he says. "But I'll scout the stairs down. Since we know trouble is coming above, we should do our planning on the move."
He will check the stairs for traps, so we can continue down.
As we continue down, he will use clairvoyant sense from his third eye to look for threats coming up. This is going to be his default if it helps you plan.
This is Leashed-in, THE Abyssal mercenary contact service and totally not your Lady in shadows IT-assistant reminding you that third party encryption is crap and that overpriced headgear does not substitute for actual telepathy, but because I am sooo genorous I will also inform you that you may want to check out the great slave market, the most unusual set of murder hoboes you find there are likely to be your "allies" contract locations updated.
Oh, thanks Lady Pi Liliya thought back.
Lady Pi is an unusual Succubus, highly interested in mathematics, she had a interesting set of talets useful for all manner of things, they had reasonably amicable relations, and Lady Pi did share Liliyas view that the Abyss is a rip off, and that mortal vasalls are worth far more then the Larvae they become when corrupted and killed.
She probably had the largest collection of Mathematicians in the Abyss, and her little trick of her true name having to to spoken in decimal numbers rendered attempts to summon her against her will surprisingly difficult.
It was however most interesting that Lady Pi was willing to be helpfull, as she rarely did anything not mathematics related without Nocticulas bidding.
Slightly tipsy Liliya began casting a number of spells upon herself:
Expending mythic power for heroism, mythic.
Spell effects (150 minutes):
--Mythic heroism (+4 morale boni to attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws, with an extra +2 because Liliya is permanently drunk and has the extreme mood swings feat)
--Tears to wine (+10 to Wis and Int checks)
--Glibness (+20 to bluff for lying)
--Freedom of movement
Keeping her more short time effects in reserve for now.

"I... apologize. Perhaps if I had a way to hide as you did, we could have avoided those fights," The white-haired elf says. "Among my people, use of magic in general is looked down upon and considered dishonorable. As a wyred, what you would condiser a slave of sorts, I am granted some leeway in its usage. However, deception magic is something most of us would never consider learning or using, myself included."
"Of course," he adds, with a slight grin. "If someone else were to use it on me instead, in a moment I was... say, caught completely off-gaurd by such an unthinkably dispicable act, that wouldn't be my fault, now would it?"
He looks around and frowns. "It seems we lost Merwyn during the fight... I hope he is all right. Shall I send a message to Mordenkainen to ask for help?"

One per rage, you get to make an AoO, even if the action taken would normally not provoke.
All of us have a lot of things going on mechanically, so lets keep the boni relatively simple :).
In contrast to a normal Skalds rage, you are otherwise completely unhindered.
A number of these will improve when I hit level 16.
These Boni will usefully affect everyone, as dodge boni stack. Accurate stance meanwhile does not work with firearms, and witch hunter requires superstition, which makes buffing iffy.
Many other offensive stances also give morale to hit, which I can replicate using heroism.
