Alice meanwhile keeps chanting, as the group seems stationary atm.
Vandomir gestures towards the large figure with his bow, "am I shooting that, or not?"
Presently everyone is still in the tunnel. As the firewall dropped Markus moved back into the cellar on his own.
Round 17
Markus moves forward back into the cellar.
Establishing defensive position Markus announces as he moves in, his dark vision eyes peering towards the noise
Oh Lord in Iron, grant me a great fight, Oh Lady in Shadow, grant me a great victory, oh Ardent Dream grant me a great victory party to be remembered
As the footsteps get louder, you can almost see Markus grin like a madman.
He does wisely stay within the 30 feet chanting radius of Alice.

"We need some light in the cellar. Not all of us can see in the dark." Ulricha says as she moves down the tunnel to step into the cellar.
"We need some light in the cellar. Not all of us can see in the dark." Ulricha says as she moves down the tunnel to step into the cellar.
Alice calls forth dancing lights, between her chanting, illuminating what lies concealed ahead.
Round 17
Markus moves forward into the cellar drawing his weapon again. He makes sure to not get far ahead of the group. Ulricha joins Markus in the darkness but Alice quickly provides light with one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape which quickly moves forwards, The light quickly fades as it continues to move down the cellar. You can see some worms crawling around. It stops before a large goat-headed humanoid covered in a mangy gray hide that only partly covers its gaunt but muscled frame. In its hands is a long bloody halberd which has a black miasma following the blade like a flag. It is now 30 feet from Markus. Vandomir's everburning torch is still out but he is far away from Ulricha.

Special Abilities
Disease (Ex) A schir gnaws constantly at the ends of its halberd. This infuses the blades with disease from the demon’s filthy spittle. Any creature struck by a schir’s halberd must succeed at a DC 21 Fortitude save or contract gray pox—a frightening disease that causes weakness, gray splotches on the skin, and eventual catatonia. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Advanced, Gray Pox: Halberd—injury; save Fort DC 21; onset 1 round; frequency 1/attack after the first; effect 1d4 Str damage; cure 1 consecutive saves.
Description
A schir resembles a tall, muscular humanoid with the head and hooves of a demonic goat. A ragged hide covers patches of a schir’s body, usually around the forearms and lower legs, with a crestlike patch running down from the creature’s crown to the nape of its neck. Schir demons are 7 feet tall, though they usually stoop and so appear shorter, and weigh 300 pounds.
Also known as spite demons, schirs are among the most violent and vile-tempered inhabitants of the Abyss. Schirs are formed from the souls of mortals who either committed or framed others for heinous crimes—acts committed for the sole purpose of petty retribution. Despite such origins, schirs occupy one of the lowest orders in the demonic hierarchy, often serving as front-line infantry in demonic armies or as guards for minor demonic commanders.
Although not especially intelligent, schirs are cunning warriors and able sentries. Although they prefer to charge into combat, a schir’s natural jumping ability makes it a nimble enemy, capable of using its surroundings astutely. A schir will often jump on top of rocks, crumbling walls, or any other high place to hack with its disease-ridden halberd. For all of schirs’ capabilities, their spitefulness makes them distrustful of any creature that has not proven its greater power and strength numerous times.
A schir set loose upon the Material Plane quickly seeks to set itself up as a leader of its own army—often, schirs seek out tribes of savage humanoids and attempt to replace the current leaders. They are particularly fond of infiltrating gnoll tribes.

As the large creature gets within range of Markus you all telepathically hear in your minds, ::What do we have here?! Playthings?::
Blyad lets play then, are you a f%*#ing goat or a goatf#&@er? And why do I have the feeling the answer is Yes?
Markus springs into action (moves 15 feet towards it) strikes (from 15 feet distance) and then moves back 15 feet using his spring attack. He misses by a mile though

Vandomir will unload on the large (and loud) creature...

Hearing and seeing the sounds of a battle starting, Jorrast will move back toward the group.
Round 18
Xandarian returns to the front line and stands with Markus and Ulricha. The paladin designates the goat demon as his smite evil target.
Round 18
Zsófia moves with the others, ready to confront whatever new horror guards this secret entrance to the fort.
Quince moves to the end of the hall and looks toward the newly arrived foe.
Quince calls out a prayer in celestial.
Alice moves to next to Quince, and chants to prolong the hex on the trio of frontliners.
"Everyone, that's a goat demon called a schir. Hit them with cold iron or good aligned weapons. Be aware, if given chance it can summon more of its kind."
OI KNEW IT WAS A F&##ING GOATF#$&ING GOAT! IT IS SAID THAT ONLY BY SUMMONING DO THEY EVER GET LAID!
Markus Bloodrages, and begins to shout insults at the goat demon.
MOI CUNNING PLAN IS TO HIT IT REALLY HARD IN ITS FACE, OR IN ITS ARSE, ITS HARD TO TELL THOSE APART!
Round 18
Zsofia moves forward with the group. Jorrast follows along staying in the back of the group. The hounds are awfully quiet. Quince casts Blessing of Fervor as he moves forward too.
The goat doesn't daudle and charges forward. With its 20 foot reach it is able to attack Markus from afar.
Vandomir fires off several arrows into the wall. Xandarian returns to the front line as the holy symbol of Cayden Cailean glows on the goats forehead. Some of the worms collect into several swarms. Alice yells out her warning of the creature as she renews her hex upon Quince. Ulricha waits as she is having troubles seeing. Markus springs forward and misses the creature before backing off. He tries to provoke it with his words and it responds mentally to he group, ::My beard will enjoy filling all of your orafices, you @#$%@#$% @#$@#$ &@#$@@@!::

It spreads disease with its dirty beard.
Also you know that most Schirs are medium creatures, you believe this is a buffed and evolved demon. Almost ready to evolve into a Glabrazu you believe.

The caydenite paladin rushes forward for a holy smite

Round 18 (since I go after the enemy)
As Markus jumps back from his attack, Ulricha charges forward, embracing her rage and her compoanions' magic, as she sinks her axe into the vile demon.
Round 19
Zsófia offers a brief prayer to Shelyn as she rushes at the goat-demon and slashes at it with her blade.
I will extract the medical bill from the descendends of the third tier cultists who made that degenerate Larvas spawning you
Markus 5 feet steps closer and felling smashes the Schir!
If this hits, swift action to trip him
Markus has greater trip, so anyone who has reach on the Schir, which is at least Zofia, Ulricha and Xandarian, get to boink the Schir as an AoO.
Round 19
With no enemies in sight, Vandomir waits until he can become useful.
Seeing the worms forming up into swarms again Jorrast moves by Quince. "Do you have any of those fireball wands? Those worms need to be burned! I should have just hung on to them!"
[Ooc]It still hits, unless he had another spell on him increasing his AC. Does Markus have Ferver?
Oh I thought halberds had reach.
Round 18
Ulricha does sink in her blade into the humanoid goat demon. But before she can reach it the ranseur comes in for AoOs.

Round 19
Alice moves 10ft closer, and keeps up her chants to keep her comrades under Lady Luck's blessing.
Round 19 19 damage so far... +28+6+23+23
Zsofia moves in with grace but is unable to overcome the goat's defenses. As the ranseur comes in she tries to parry it but fails. She does catch up to it and strikes it with her smite. A flare of magic as another holy symbol appears on the creature's forehead, that of Sheyln. Jorrast moves to Quince and requests wands. Quince casts a spell which puts an aura on him then moves into melee range.
The goat strikes out at Quince as he moves forward, , and then takes a five foot step back as he swings for the archon aura again.

Zsofia takes her AoO and strikes the goat again before it steps back. Ulricha also gains an AoO.

The vipers roll together and have now condensed again into swarms.

Alice keeps up her chants. Markus swings and the goat barely misses it as his blade hits upon its hide not solidly connecting.
Soon to be Round 20
Let me give you a HUG GOATFACE
Markus seeks to feint the demon!
And then tries to do his felling smash again, even though the demon as not buying it at all.
HAVE A NICE TRIP HAHAHA! BON VOYAGE!
He laughs like a madman as his attempt likely works!
Round 20
Alice bestows protective luck on Zsofia, and continues prolonging the effect on the others already under it.
Ulricha takes a step forward, hounding the demon as she continues to unleash her fury.
Quince flips, ducks, rolls and in a frenzy moves around the goat headed opposite Ulricha.
Once opposite the barbarian Quince swings his sceptre to smash the beast.
Round 20
Despite his injuries, Xandarian presses his advantage.
Round 20
Zsófia steps forward and attacks in a flurry of stop-cuts and thrusts. She tosses her blade from one hand to the other as she attacks, distracting the creature's focus.
Round 20
Not seeing anything to shoot, Vandomir will move towards the action.
Jorraste flies up over the nearest swarm of worms and calls out to the team. "Can anyone burn those swarms of worms? Otherwise they're probably going to join the battle, and I'd bet that the demon is immune to them!"
Quince calls back to Jorrast in Celestial, "Not without cooking friends at the moment. Can you use wands?"
"Yes. Not with the reliability of a wizard, but usually I can."
Once opposite the barbarian Quince swings his sceptre to smash the beast.
