((Remeber- surprise round; only a standard action, so not all your orders are heeded. Also remember that initiative still counts- and that cleric doesn't have any way to both get to you and give you a protection from evil. He just used Holy Smite instead. Also, the squads use mob rules- they're slower (reg 20' movespeed, armored 15'.)))
You charge, making a mighty chop down over the nearest demon, and dealing a mighty blow- nearly felling it that one hit. You feel your blade sink deep into the beast's flesh and through bone- and look. You see that you caught it between its head and shoulder- and your blade clove itself with a 4 full blade widths between where its torso is supposed to start and where your blade stopped.
Your soldiers near the exit take the hint, and light the end of the passage on fire, getting out of the way for a squad to pass by them
As the soldiers advance to launch their javelin barrage, a great light appears above the hellknight, searing the demon's and the knight's flesh and blinding some of them.
The barrage arrives on the heels of the burst of light, and the knight is pinned down- he's taking cover and cannot move!
At this, the other serpentfolk warriors nearest you advance to bring the knight better in their sights- launching an arrow towards his relatively unprotected flanks- one shoots, and it hits its mark, piercing the chainmailed side of the knight.
The knight stands tall through this pain, and draws his greatsword from its blackened scabbard with a heavy rasp. He shouts out an unintelligible word and runes on the black blade glow deep red while the edges begin to burn with a black flame.
"I am Nadlok, the Onyx of Hell's Legion. I will rend your puny bodies asunder and condemn your souls to damnation!"As he speaks, your other squads come alive- both sides launch barrages of javelins at the closest targets
- only slowing and stopping movement from the nearest demons, as the javelins bounce harmlessly off their blackened scales.
(Zoomed for more clarity. There are also 2 more pairs of the demons on the flanks of the caravan.
It's your move. ((Actions will continue in the order given here. Just say so if you want the whole order typed out.))
