To answer you question, no they can't stack, that would be overly powerful once you get to ranks that include more powerful shields.
Tell the soldiers they did well and they should now find and protect any civilians. meanwhile I will head up to the battle with the demons and send some necrophite bolts at the winged demon cultist.
[1] You want to head towards the North Gate but you are so caught up in the celebrations you forget all about it. "Get me another ale!" You say as the booze begins to flow.
Bang, Bang, Bang.(at bloated Corpses)
Help ochita and me get to the north gate where the demons are at.
[4-1=3] Kilakan, picking up Ochita runs towards the North Gate. He gets most of the way there, close enough for Ochita to get off a pot shot at least. (-1 to Ochita's attack)
[2-1] Ochita attempts to hit one of the bloated corpses but the bullet is so far off mark the corpse doesn't even pay it any attention.
Keep shooting at the flying cultist! He probably has some nasty tricks up his sleeve we haven't seen yet. If someone else gets him first, shoot any cultists attacking Gardios; if I get attacked, ignore both of those commands and return fire.
[6] You shoot towards the Winged Demon but he expertly dodges out of the way. Turning his attention away from Gardios, he looks at you with hatred burning in his eyes.
Righteous fury winged demon cultist if needed, otherwise righteous fury demon hand cultist 2. Swing blade at demon hand cultist 2.
[3] [2/2=1 damage] You launch a righteous fury towards the Winged Cultist, however it hits his wing and is mostly deflected.
[4] [4+4+1=9-3(Shield Use)=6 damage] You swing towards the second Demon Hand Cultist, but he partially deflects your blow with his arm and gets up close to your face. You can see his eyes beginning to shift to assume more demonic shapes. . . could they becoming full demons?
Cast another shield upon Gardios (does it stack?) before running to smack a bloated corpse with my staff.
[5] You toss another double strength shield on Gardios while running up towards one of the bloated corpses (BC#1) [5] [3x2=6 damage] Smacking the bloated corpse, it explodes releasing several souls of the damned [defense roll: 6] Thankfully you get out of the way in time as the spot where you were just standing explodes as the souls detonate attempting to take you back to the Nether with them.
Fire a Number 10 from the caster pistol at Demon Hand Cultist 1, Get behind cover.
[5] Taking out his caster pistol and quickly loading a shell marked in red with the number 10, Gardios takes aim at the Demon Hand Cultist who to this point had proven resistant even to his enchanted pistol. "Torment." he says quietly to himself as he fires. Unlike most of his previous shells, this one shows the full potential of raw demonic magic. [12 projectiles] [(1+6+6+5+4+1+2+6+5+1+5+7)x2=98 damage] [luck: 5, all extra damage spills over to Demon Hand Cultist 2] Dark red orbs of pure malice and hatred exit from the gun and guide their way to their victims. Immediately they human portions of these Human Cultists begins breaking out in cuts, sores, lesions, boils, hives, all of them bursting open and spraying blood out all over the road. Soon the human portions of these cultists is no longer even recognizable as they fall down in a pile of flesh, pus, bone, and blood.
[3] Looking around for cover, Gardios manages to duck behind a wooden railing, but it does nothing for his defense. He leans up against it breathing heavily and clutching his chest. Looks like that last caster bullet took more out of him than he would care to admit.
Enemy TurnsZombie Army:[2+1-3=0] The zombies fail to make absolutely any progress.
Winged Demon Cultist: [4] Upon seeing his demon hand cultist allies fall, the winged demon begins crafting a powerful spell. Soon the demonic portions of these cultists rise, ready to fight once more. [3] [(5+2-1)/2=4 damage] The Winged Demon swoops down and manages to cut Malgun's arm, causing a bit of damage as the wound begins to turn a sickly purple.
Demon Gate: [6] As the Legion Demons exit the portal you can feel the very fabric of the world begin to fray as a great power approaches the gate. It is speeding towards the gate faster than you previously thought possible, leaving a trail a blackness behind it's red outline. [Knowledge Check: 1] You have absolutely know idea what this could be, but surely it is a powerful Lord of the Nether to move so fast and to put such pressure on this world even from such a great distance away from the portal.
Bloated Corpse 2: [5] [(3-1)x2=4 damage] Approaching Dor'lek who is conveinently nearby, the bloated corpse begins to beat on him. He squishes like something unnatural [luck roll: 5] but remains completely intact.
Bloated Corpse 3: [2] The corpse being running towards Frelock, however Frelock outmaneuvers the Corpse and manages to avoid it's clumsy attacks.
Spine Demon 1: [3] [(2+4)/2= 3 damage] Turning toward Gardios, the spine demon unhinges it's jaw and begins shooting needle-like projectiles towards him. Thankfully his shield is still fully intact.
Spine Demon 2: [2] Running towards Malgun, this demon opens it's mouth but doesn't fully unhinge it. As it begins shooting out needles towards Malgun. They're all badly placed as the demon is running at the same time however.
