I focus on countering the skeletal demon's spells.
Two of my skeletons each try to engage a single enemy in 1vs1 duels.
The third guards Davar.
You focus in on the skeletal demon, trying to counter his magic with your own. (4) You should be able to nullify any spell he casts, (Luck 6) and might even manage to learn a bit, assuming you are able to out-cast him of course.
Two of your skeletons advance on the demon soldiers. (2)(5) One of them gets outmaneuvered, but the other unleashes a fairly powerful attack. (RTD 3)(RTD 2) The first demon soldier fails to take advantage of his opponent's poor positioning, while the other takes damage from the other skeleton's attack.
Hellfire the Skeletal demon.
You build up a blast of hellfire (6) channeling all of your rage and fury into the attack. (Luck 5) A massive pillar of fire erupts, centered on the skeletal demon but also catching several of his guards in the blaze. (Resist 3) The demon is significantly wounded by the attack.
Raise Crystal Staff over my head and shout: Blue Crystal Power: Activate! (or in other words, change the color to blue.)
Stone Spirit heals Tarran or Aarchan.
Noted that my hammer is still equipped and not my crystal staff.
You focus on your crystal, trying to get it to change colors. (2) You shift the crystal to a light turquoise color instead. (Luck 1) You suddenly feel very sluggish.
Your earth spirit heals Tarran (3) for a small amount of health.
Help Ironyowl(Davar), attack the morningstar demon.
You try to help Davar out by tripping his foe. (2) You don't get much power behind your attempt (RTD 6) and with speed that defies it's large size, the demon flips you to the ground instead.
Grab the quasit by the neck, quickly pull out my blessed iron dagger, and stab it into the quasit, leaving it embedded if I hit it. Then quickly try and grab Di'ako and guard myself.
You grab your dagger (4) and reach for the quasit (RTD 1) who, distracted by something, is unable to evade your grasp. Your hand closes around it's neck, and you feel a stinging as it's poison spines sink into your skin. (Resist 3) You feel a slight burning, but not deterred you stab it with your dagger. (5) Your blade plunges deep into the helpless beast's heart and slays it instantly.
+3 to DaggersWell if Tarran and a skeleton are going to guard me, I'll just Darkness a nonwounded Hunter instead.
You build up a sphere of darkness (4+2) and prepare to unleash it on the hunter (Luck 1) You end up releasing it on yourself, though the sphere is big enough that you actually think you managed to catch the hunter in it anyway, as well as the morningstar demon and Tarran.
+3 to MetamagicDid some math. Frozen burst is more beneficial than chill right now (probable), assuming I don't botch the spell and teamkill everyone (also probable). In any case, getting that summoner down is more important than helping everyone else's combat rolls.
Frozen burst on the skeletal demon and his guards.
You charge up a blast of frozen energy (4+2) and hurl it at the demon mage. (Luck 2) The sphere bursts about halfway there, sending shards of ice flying everywhere prematurely. (RTD 3)(RTD 1)(RTD 5)(RTD 6)(RTD 6)(RTD 5)(RTD 4) Most of the shards vaporize before contact, and the few that don't aren't powerful enough to cause much damage, but one of the demon soldiers is caught by a rather large spike and is slain.
Two of the demon soldiers continue fighting the skeletons. (2)(6) One feints a lot, or perhaps it just tripped, while the other strikes at his opponent. (RTD 4)(RTD 6) One skeleton easily dodges, while the other just manages to throw itself out of the way.
One of the demon hunters pounces on Marcus, (1+4) but slams into him instead of striking with it's claws. (RTD 1) Nonetheless, the comatose Marcus fails to dodge, and is wounded.
The skeletal demon hurridly attempts to cast a spell. (4+1) It makes some fast motions with it's arms, (Luck 6) and creates a small portal next to it. (3+1) Nirur tries to counter it's spell, (Resist 5) but the demon overcomes his attempts and finished making the portal large enough to step through. He then does just that, and flees back to hell.
