I'll wait before posting any further.

Thanks for the rescue! @GM: Do we have an opportunity for a short rest?
Horat gasps as his muscles become his own to command once again. "My thanks." The warrior stands once again ready, trying to regain his full strength.
No problem, Olivia. I will not be surprised if Horat perishes in some gambit against the forces of darkness!
Horat stops suddenly, left exposed outside.
I have a guess in mind...
Horat manages several syllables before a bolt winds him.
Horat emerges from the hut, and attempts to block the acolyte's magic with his own.
Thank you. Apologies for the delays in posting this week.
How far is the acolyte from the hut? Is he alone? I am thinking of having Horat rush him but I don't know the details of what's there as I don't know if the map has been updated.
I'll catch up tomorrow, late here.
My vote is for stalling.
Horat looks at his companions, hoping that one proves their silver tongue.
Without turning or raising his voice, Horat says: "If we surrender, the world will come that much closer to being dragged into the Nine Hells. I say that we do not surrender."
Horat remains silent but ready to physically bar the way should a fiend find a way through the magical barrier.
I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.
Horat wwaits until he and all of his companions are fully rested. After Uki speaks, he replies in a quiet voice: "We need to make a plan. Unless any of you can apparate sustenance, we shall need to relocate. Perhaps via that witch's helm."
Horat rests. Perhaps the last rest I shall ever have. Perhaps not.
Horat would get back second wind and action surge. I changed my tagline assuming that we had gone for a short rest. They were both exhausted.
Horat times his fog cloud so that it appears just after the hut apparates.
To be fair, S.A.M. can guard more effectively if he has those slots refreshed.
I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.
Unless there's any objections, Horat is going to cast fog cloud with the hut within its radius. I'm thinking not to have the hut in the dead centre as that might be a giveaway.
Horat moves adjacent to Uki, on her side closest to the cave entrance.
The idea of dragon's breath not being magical is a strange one. I agree with Caster here. Horat is quite willing to fight to a bloody end. But holding out for negotiation or teleportation works for him too. Better to kill more demons another day and all that.
Horat shakes his head at the spirit's question. "I do not."
The closest to illusions that Horat has access to is fog cloud.
I like the sound of Aerial Doom and I have never seen a vulture companion of any sort. So that gets my thumbs up!
Level 6 Fighter (Battlemaster)//Wizard (War Wizard) Proficiency Bonus: +3 HD: 6 / 1d10+2 HP: +8 -> 52 (57 with aid) Power Surge
You can store a maximum number of power surges equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Whenever you finish a long rest, your number of power surges resets to one. Whenever you successfully end a spell with Dispel Magic or Counterspell, you gain one power surge, as you steal magic from the spell you foiled. If you end a short rest with no power surges, you gain one power surge. Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature or object with a wizard spell, you can spend one power surge to deal extra force damage to that target. The extra damage equals half your wizard level. Spell Slots:

Horat moves over near the healing spirits, and sits down crosslegged upon the ground. He focuses on centering his mind.
Cheers, Caster. :) I'll level up tomorrow.
Uki, that is a very clear explanation of your thinking. I appreciate it. For what it's worth, I also think a force spirit is the way to go for the next time.
Horat feels a pang of despair as Olivia is smashed again and again. He simply cannot strike quickly enough to help. But strike he does...

Riposte if Horat is attacked in melee and missed:
AOO:
I made a call as both Enziver and Olivia were down, and healing would likely be unavailable at all for Olivia.
It's more to get Olivia up tbh while benefiting Enziver. She's outside of the existing healing spirits' range.
The imp's snarl resonates within Horat but he is able to quell it - just! Seeing that his blows have less effect than he would like, and that his useful magic largely exhausted here, Horat tries a different tack. He steps forward, and *feels* the need for healing. Another healing spirit pops up, hopefully enough to revive Liv and Enziver. He spits at the cambions in their own foul tongue: Abyssal:
"Come, wretched things. Let us join in the steel dance." ************************ Riposte if Horat is attacked in melee and missed:
AOO:
Seeing S.A.M. fall, Horat steps into the breach, striking at the bearded devil, halberd resonating with thunderous energies!

Horat steps forward and tries to break the cambion before it can keep trying to ensorcel the group.

That's a good notion.
Horat seizes Uki and drags her out of the area. The blast radius, if Olivia's general tactics are anything to go by. The warrior moves himself and the solid-feeling spirit to near her healing 'kin'.
Taking heart from his magics slaying when his weapon could not, Horat tries again to kill a cambion!

Horat drives his halberd at the more wounded of the two cambions next to him, hoping to bring at least one down before he falls once again.

Inclined towards that wind spirit tbh. Those flyers do indeed suck.
Horat recalls the cambion's words...then pain in his back as his view is suddenly that of a wall. He turns, sees the situation, and circles around the approaching cambions to strike at the cambion nearest where Tinuk - [i]*WAS*!?[i] - the warrior's halberd crackling with energy!
