You fly down. Around you the devils are breaking as you reach Gisfal - who stands at the end of a charge, over a broken malebranche as Gisfal stabs it through the skull, into its brain. Around him Aurora's soldiers work, Moore's voice heard from some distance away amid the din.
"Jaela!" Gisfal is bloodied, stained all over. "We have the bastards where we want them now!"
"They've already lost!" Jaela agrees, her voice carrying over the battlefield. "Let's wipe them out to the last!"
She charges past him, impaling a bearded devil and tossing the disintegrating corpse at its comrades!
"Hold enough for Moore," Gisfal cries, "The three of us can crush what leadership remains!"
Indeed, Moore is rapidly approaching.
As Jaela does, she feels a deep sense of satisfaction within herself, three times.
"Jaela, uh -- great job with whatever it was that happened with Tiamat!" Moore says as he flies up. "Gisfal, I'm guessing none of that is your blood? Do you need healing?"
Jaela salutes her patron with Gae Buidhe, allowing Moore to catch up.
"I'm fine," Gisfal says, "The devils bleed, I bleed, but I keep going when they do not. Forward!"
Ahead of the three is a mass of devils - spinagons and barbazu, hamatula and cornugons. Legions honed in the flames of Hell and tempered in the blood of war - all coming for your three person group!

Moore opens.
The closest devils are about 15ft away and closing, lots to choose from. It's a wide swath of them to work with.
"Let's go, then!" Moore calls out, inspiring everyone around him -- but he focuses on something special for Gisfal and Jaela!
[13:14] <Nephrite> roll 3d4 nonlethal
[13:14] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 3d4 nonlethal --> [ 3d4=6 ]{6}

Cool. Go Jaela, I'll resolve both at once since Moore's purely boosting.
Seeking out the loudest of the devils, Jaela puts him down with prejudice!
[20:27] <@Lisa> roll 1d20+51+20

[20:36] <@Lisa> roll 1d20+39
[20:36] <Kobot> Lisa rolled 1d20+39 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{48}
Gambiting, of course~
Jaela charges forward to a cornugon, the fiend bringing his greatsword up to blow, vertical to his body. Jaela's spear thrust through it, shattering his blade into fragments, impaling the cornugon in the stomach. It gasps and drops the broken blade, hands going to the spear embedded deep within it.
Meanwhile above flashes of fire and light, a pair of astral devas forcing back a malebranche, almost diving down low enough to brain Gisfal.
Gisfal is up. Accurate strike is +10 to crit confirms and motivate attack is +6 attack rolls.

Gisfal wades into the battle, sword slicing through lesser devils, cutting heavily into them. "Force them back," Gisfal says, as...the devils begin to withdraw? They step back, defending and vanishing. It spreads across the battlefield like a plague, many portals already down and the rest closing, devils retreating.
"They're retreating!" Gisfal shouts, "Everyone, forward!"
Free act within this, the devils are generally beating feet pretty fast.
Moore just continues to quietly bolster the nearby troops. He wonders what the devils may be plotting, though...
Jaela raises Gae Buidhe, cheering!
Mentally, she asks Vul'lath, 'Is my assistance needed to break through any pockets of resistance, or should I return to Aurora?'
'Return to Aurora,' Vul'lath says, 'Matters seem in hand now.'
Plans you two?
"Bring anyone not needed on patrols or to establish a perimeter back, Gisfal," Jaela tells her fellow general. "We've done well, and the troops deserve a chance to catch their breath or a hot meal."
With a grin at Moore, she teleports over to Aurora's gates and then heads inside to spend a bit of time in the courtyard in case this is a devil diversion.
Moore gives Jaela a salute before she vanishes. "I'll help out with getting everyone back, Gisfal." Moore says.
Okay, moving both of you into the Lifasa topic for now.
