The smell of rot and decay is overwhelming, as are the infernal screams echoing in the stables. The horses are going crazy and Brother Bentley is on his knees, staring up at this...creature.
"We grow weary of your incessant chatter, priest! You will now answer OUR questions!"
"Break the spell Brother Bentley, you've got to stop the spell." Razillin blurts out, unsure what to say or do. He fumbles for his holy symbol and begins praying fervently for some type of divine intervention.
Moan, Mag, and Kol draw steel, and while Kol hesitates, the Ranger and the Elf do not.
Moan initiative: [1d10]=10
Init: [1d10]=10 (Mag)
Initiative: [1d10]=2 (Critter)
Seeing the flash of steel, the shadow creature hisses,
YOU DARE?
It turns on Moan and tries to grab the ranger, but he leaps back and beyond its blackened talons!
Claw attack: [1d20]=1 [1d4+1]=2+1=3
Moan steps back in and slashes the creature with his magical sword, nearly splitting the beast in two! Mag also slashes at the creature, but his sword goes right through it with no damage done. A hellish howl from the wounded beast shakes the rafters of the barn...and those howls...are answered!
Emerging from the shadows comes three creatures from the Pit!

Bentley screams and falls on the ground in some type of seizure, and Constable Harburk curses and falls backward against one of the stable doors. The demons have reddish blackened skin, some with open oozing sores. Their talons are long and sharp, and their eyes blaze with hell fire! As one, the creatures pounce, eager for flesh!

Actions!!
Roll initiative and state your actions; may want to also state a contingency plan like, "I move to attack one of the demons, but if it is dispelled before I attack, I will move to another one." "Or, if I am hit, I will drink a potion of healing...or cast a spell...or shit myself and run." Something like that ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
