The defenders are struck hard, arrows hitting them just so. Blood is drawn as the line holds, devils smashed together but holding from your ambush attack as...!!!

Init.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

Injured but holding up fine on a glance.

Donald has been wounded again, by the way. 428 HP left for him, so not a serious injury.

Flames explode, golden fury that burns the devils like they were common trash. All around the avatar they burst aflame, forcing a breach in the lines as arrows pepper them, unicorns striking true. Cries of pain and anger echo about as...

Seira. Elegy will hold since firebursts are going down and he wants all that to resolve first.

The herd is indeed thinned out, a large gap in the line now from your speedy attack. Devils burn and collapse, others impaled by more unicorn arrows. As you advance...

'Are we breaking through or attempting to defeat them in detail?' Elegy asks.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

'We kill them all, or they'll send word of this,' Seira responds. With her avatar there to cut off any retreat and her doing the same thing to box the devils in, there would be no escape. Not in this dimensionally-locked fortress!
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Elegy begins to advance but stops as the ground shakes. It becomes bitterly, viciously cold in one moment. Seira can feel infernal powers manifesting even faster now, like a torrent flowing through all of Avernus.

Chance to react to that.

'Lixer's avatar is slain, he'll have felt that,' Alicia's telepathic voice sends, rich with satisfaction. 'After clearing the current area we'll push on to the fortress itself.'

'I'll be waiting for you inside it,' Seira relays cheerfully.

Anastasia

Init is Seira Avatar = Elegy (41) > Seira (39) > Jessica (36) > Devils (22)

Elegy is up.


Darting out of hiding, Elegy moves as a great bell begins to toll, loudly. He dashes amid the gap and makes a wide slash to both sides as he passes, a dagger in each hand. Devils all around him are cut and...

> roll 1d20+62
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 66 > [d20=4]

Great gaping slashes rip into the devils, ones close and far alike. Keeping his head down as he sprints forward, "Sorry, it's just business," Elegy tells them. "Nothing personal." Devils fall and are torn apart, more of the line breaking.

Jessica.

Meanwhile Jessica holds where she is a moment, unseen and yet...

Incidentally, ranged legerdemain isn't purely a Seira thing. PErfect Wight gives it and a superior version since epic PrC. She's using it now to attack.

> roll 1d20+61 Jessica

A Necrolyte begins to cast...only for a rapier point to impale its throat from behind, silencing it forever. As it falls...

'There is a complication,' Sulia sends, 'Donald and I are facing an avatar of Glasya, who has chosen to take the field. With her is Duke Malphas of Avernus, who is deploying some fashion of hellfire weapon.'

Devils are up in the next post.
