Round One - Init 22.
It is now Demon 1's turn! Demon 2 is next!
First things first.
One of the demons glances at the others and they seem to have an understanding. A nod between the pair of them follows and one raises its hand. A gateway appears to pen behind it and three /more/ of them spill out of it.
That's not good.

"Your hears blood will taste sweet on my lips, child of the sun," rasps the second demon. It rushes towards Serraphgine and lkeaps at her, clawed hand grabbing her by the back and yanking her close as its tongue /pierces/ her breastplate, the barbed organ digging into her flesh and burrowing into her.
Yikes.

It is now Serraphine's turn! Iskandar is next!
GAME: Serraphine rolls cmb: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)
Serraphine blinks and stares as this demon makes noises at her. Her arm holding the sword drops a bit, head tilting to the side. "What?" A shake of her head, "Did you say something about wanting to see the sun? I mean, if that's what you want, we can help you get there. No reason to even fight." She turns her head looking back toward the door when... ACK!
The hand grabs Serraphine and grapples her as the creature is trying to suck out her soul or something. "Hey! No touching." She tries to get free but - alas - fails to do so.

Hun'rar raises his sword in the air, calling on Gilead "Dragon of the Hunt! Show these demons they are the hunted here, smite their terrible forms." a brilliant mixture of holy and arcane fire engulfs the end of his blade and strikes deep in the demon assaulting Serraphine. "You cannot conquer our unassailable faith."

The rats gather each other, quickly trying to pull back for a moment to mend their own wounds and wounded. They are grateful for the reprieve but mostly out of their depth.

Round Two - Init 24.
It is now Summoned Demons' turn! Demon 1 is next!
The three of them are frozen.
One of them swivels its head towards Morgan, racing towards her.
Another leaps towards Hun'rar, while the third rushes towards the wererats to try to disrupt their healing.
Seems they're going to stay busy... and keep you busy...

...one of them slams into Morgan and picks her up with its bare hands, driving its tongue into her shoulder, where it burrows and burrows, claws raking her body.
The other bounces off Iskandar's armor, whiel the third is nimbly being evaded by the wererats.
Hun'rar's powerful blow sends it reeling and it whirls on him, releasing Serraphine to focus hate-filled black irises on him but its claws can not pierce his thick armor.

GAME: Iskandar rolls 12-5: (12)+12+-5: 19
Iskandar turns and tries to move to aid Morgan. But he finds a slashing tail-stinger in his path, barely backing away before it gouges out an eye. Instead Iskandar wheels and punches at the first demon that alproached - but his blows seem to bounce off of the monster's hide. "Gods! They're almost tougher than the golems!" Perhaps they weren't really golems, but in the adventurer's mind they were close enough.

The good news is that the were rats are not taking this laying down... in pieces, anyway. Thet're trying to get the hell out of dodge! They're badly wounded in some cases and missing limbs.
Still, they're fighting on, hissing, squeakling and otherwise making a nuisance of themselves while trying to avoid the worwset of the hunter's blows.

Constantin leaps at the mage-hugging demon, with a magically-enhanced flurry of blows, blade singing. It sings partly because the blade is vibrating after every hit on the demon's tough hide, wobbling in the air.

It is now Demon 2's turn! Serraphine is next!
The chaos of battle is now real. The long-limbed creatures are laughing amongst each other, gutterally, and lashing out at you. Hun'rar, Serraphine, ISkandar and Constnatin are all wounded in turn, long tails raising out of the creatures and lashing out at them, infecting them with viscous ichor that seeps out of the wounds and makes each of them feel sicke, where the barbed tongues are briefly doing their work too, similarly. NOne of them can hold a grapple for long -- too risky -- but it does leave you weakened. Each of them is looking significantly hurt by now too.
"Even if you.."
"..should prevail here, the shard remains closed to you!"

GAME: Iskandar rolls 14-2+2+1: (4)+14+-2+2+1: 19
Iskandar feels his strength sapped by the fiendish attacks. Hey, he needs that strength! Without it, what kind of hero will he be? Trying to use strategy now, he moves to catch one of the demons between himself and Hun'rar and tries to clout it with a two-fisted blow. The demon just manages to slip away, leaving Iskandar scowling darkly.

Kore throws another kick at the hulking demon. It hardly moves. She uses this as an opportunity to propel herself upward and grasps the thing by its head. It is forced to drop Morgan as she grapples it by the neck and drags it backward to the ground. The Monk lets out a snarl as the thing topples, suddenly off-balance. She leaps free just in time to avoid being pinned and then... She kicks it. In the head. Repeatedly. Letting it get up and use its size would just be foolish.

Several of the demons are battered now, yes, and one of the two primaries that started the fight has been dropped, dissolving into a pilo of acrid goo as it hits the floor before wiusps of light break free from it and streak back in the direction of the portal that Kore has previously indicated.
This close to the planes, well, the essence of these creatures will sometimes take the direct route back home.
Still, Kore is stabbed by a stinger and so is Iskandar, both fo them seeming no worse for the wear from the experience, if a bit bloodied.

It is now Hun'rar's turn! Wererats is next!
The wererats have had a bit of itme now and they thunder forward, having recovered from their initial dismemberment, to tackle one of the demons and begin bearing it to the ground in a series of stabbing attacks with their blades. Poison is ineffective on these things, but hey, they're trying.
It's rather vicious to watch as they do this in a rather tactically precise manner.
Hun'rar's blade impacts the standing demon quite well.

Serraphine Frowns and moves around, trying to get more of a flank on this damned creature which first attacked her. She tilted her head and brought the sword up in a long sweep of a hit. Cutting in deeply thanks to the blessings of Serriel (and - of course - the aid of her allies). The blade is brought back in a back cut but it skates off the creature and the stab that follows just flat out misses. A squint at it, "You are annoying to hit. I don't even care about your shard thing."

Constantin works with Serraphine, cutting and thrusting at the demon in a spell-aided flurry. His sword rings from the effort of trying to break its hide, then at Serraphine speaks to it, he shoves the sword into the demon's mouth and twists. The messy discorporation follows shortly after (but with a distressing delay).
GAME: Whirlpoopin' removes the timestop.
Timestop by Whirlpoopin' has left.
WIth the greater demon slain, the other remaining summoned ones dissipate just as suddenly as they arrived.
Still, some of you are pretty badly poisoned and the wererats are a mess.
"...damn, this isn't going to get any better, is it?"
Meanwhile, the cultists have skedaddled. You can hear them barricading themselves in upstairs. The route you need to go.
Great.
Constantin cleans his sword blade off /quickly/ after the demon goes down. Then he looks up, cranky, face drawn, with a touch of poison, at the sounds of barricading. "Guess we're going to have to break in."
Morgan looks to the blocked off room "How are all of you feeling, want me to blast and destroy the way in to there?" she asks every one as she knows you all taken the most dammmage.
Iskandar drops to one knee to catch his breath. After a while he lurches back to his feet. "We have to try different tactics," he warns. "Keep in a formation so they can't separate any of us. Keep a front rank that we can rotate folks out of to give them a chance to catch their breath. Attack from a distance to thin their ranks, and make them come to us." He scans the room that they are in. "And there's no point in stealth any more - everything in this tower must know we're here by now."

Serraphine takes a few steps to the side, squinting, and whips the blade down before dragging it back up, a slide over part of her surcoat before the tip goes into the scabbard and then the rest of the blade. Even if it was still dinged up... it would cost a bit to repair it. She sighed and glances to the others. A blink and she stakes a slow step toward the stairs, trudging that direction. She'd want to get a look at it before pulling the blade back out. Best to know what she's up against. "Might as well see what's going on at the stairs."
"...good luck," mutter the wererats. "We'll be right behind you as soon as we, uh... patch ourselves up a bit." They did beneit from the channelling, at least.
