Sefariel, shivering visibly from the cold, took a step back both to give this intrepid newcomer some space, and to evade the interference of the devil, as he finished his spell. As he did, a hound archon appeared opposite the machete-wielder. A word of encouragement was all the archon needed to take swings at the devil with a greatsword -- though apparently this one had missed training day, and the sword failed to come anywhere near its mark.

Unsatisfied with his safety, another spell -- a much quicker one -- formed on the aasimar's lips, and where there was one of him before, there were now half a dozen, swirling and dancing among each other so quickly that it was impossible to tell which was the real one and which were mere images.

Hound archon rolled a 2 and a 3 to hit, so that was hilarious, but at least he's now providing flanking and a celestial distraction.
