Instead of recovering maneuvers like a standard stalker, a vigilante must open his mind to the flow of battle and the inherent patterns therein as a full-round action. When he does so, he recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to his vigilante initiation modifier (minimum 2), gains a +4 insight bonus to his AC for one round and can move up to to his speed during the action, provoking attacks of opportunity as normal.

As the demon disappears again suggests "Maybe it is time to try a more diplomatic approach. The demon clearly can't teleport very far away. He hasn't ambushed us yet, so he probably knows it is a battle he won't win. I think any information he might be able to provide is worth more than his death, since I don't think he was involved in the deaths of your friends. Lets stay together so we aren't an easy target, but try to get him to talk"

If the other's agree to the plan of action Krusk will start calling out saying we know he is hiding but we are only looking for information on what is going on here, and that we won't attack if he doesn't.

[DrK]

Rakieth Anlec Hearing the pop of displaced air in the larger chamber to the south with the central plinth Rakieth ghosts into the top fo that room, this time agreeing with Krusk he calls out. "Enough of this hide and seek. If you wish to speak come forward and speak with us." He advances a little further to the edge of the raised central platform making sure to have no weapons in his hands as he does so. "Can you tell us of this place?"

The demon shows himself in the southern alcove. He does not really come "forward", though, instead using the cover he has. He observes your lot, then says the following. "Now you say it's enough and you are willing to speak. Good call, I would say. Would be a better call if you have started with it, but good call nonetheless." He lets you consider his words then continues. "To allow you to make an informed decision, I'll say that I have warned everyone and have cut your retreat. You have no way forward and you have no way back. You better lay your arms and submit yourselves to the mercy of the Mistress... and oh, my, is she angry at you..." He looks at Lizuga accusingly. "Or do you want to negotiate the terms of surrender? I advise you don't push your luck..."

[CasualViking]

Lizuga Manescu Lizuga leans on her hammer and looks straight at the demon man. "You're enjoying this, stranger. There is no mercy to be had from the likes of you. You're offering us the chance to go like sheep, peacefully to the slaughter. I am going to decline that kind offer".

"You better not talk anything you do not know, darling. You've come here, uninvited, to what? Meanwhile, those who've come uninvited before you are still alive... that is, those who have surrendered, and assuming you did not kill the guy..." He does seem to enjoy it, though you can see that the wounds you have inflicted have not healed, so it's not like all joy...

[CasualViking]

Lizuga Manescu "You've said your piece"... Lizuga holds her tongue, lest an unkind moniker should slip out. "I have heard it. And no-one is surrendering. I suggest you look at what's actually *in* your larder, not what's *supposed* to be there, and not throw your life away". Lizuga keeps her gaze level at him. "He came back, still injured, with no-one in tow. That suggests that the original owner om my body isn't actually able to intercede. But I don't think thi guy is going to be reasonable", she thinks to herself.

The demon man is visibly annoyed by the response. "You are in the lead here? You decide for them all? Let's see what can be done about it..." He mumbles something arcane and points somewhere in general direction of Lizuga. Two horned remons wielding halberds appear on the raised platform in the center of the room. The flame in the center of the room flashes brightly for a moment. "Kill her!"

Rakieth's arrow hits the eastern demon in the chest for 14 damage. Krusk rushes in and hits the same demom for 5 more damage. That does not seem to distract either demon from the task given to them. Even as Iris draws the bow and casts a spell, blessing everyone, the demons hurry forward to attack Lizuga. Wielding their filthy halberds - in fact, too filthy for her good as Lizuga professionally notices - they one hits her between the plates for 8 and 8 damage just as the other finally gets enough for himself. And then it gets worse. Four tiny flying demons appear out of nowhere around Lizuga's head, taking turns biting her in the face for 3, 4 and 4 damage.

Between that and the small flying things, she doesn't look too good. "Ok, Lady, I KNOW you don't like these things. Help us kill them. I'll need a bit of oomph for my hammer, Krusk's blade, Rakieth's bow and fist...". She drives the edge of her shield into the goat fasce ofg one demon, and immediately feels much better.

Krusk makes a good chop at the wounded demon who does his best to ignore both the half-orc and the wounds. The demon makes it as far as the working end of Lizuga's weapon. The demon man observes and grimaces. The other demon also gets two hits while on his way, for 4 and 11, then gets shield-bashed for 2, but is still going strong. The demon-man says "May I humbly suggest you vacate the site before you get someone dead?" He looks into Krusk's eyes just enough for this to sink in, then steps a bit to the left and deeper into the darkness of the alcove.

Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Summoned creatures that are not evil are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell Resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.

Krusk finishes one heavily wounded demon. Rakeith does away with another. That leaves only the third, which gets hit by two arrows and then disappears. You don't particularly like how it disappears though, nor do you like the fact. The two polearm-wielding horned demons have disappeared more or like the way you would expect from a summoned creature that has been dealt the final blow. The three tiny round formerly flying demons, now in very bad shape, still lie next to you on the floor and don't seem to be going anywhere. Yet their last friend has just disappeared from sight a few moments after being hit... well, moderately hard...

There is no signs of demon man appearing anywhere.

Adalbert Hornwood Halfling Mage AC: 18 HP: 26/26 touch: 14, ff: 15, CMD: 13 Conditions: Anger +1, Mage Armor (4h), Longstrider (5h)) Adalbert dusts himself off in the hopes to remove demonic guts from his person. I must excuse my poor performance this day. I fully anticipated a golem fight, and foolishly expected less demonic resistance. I am still a mage in training. The academic side is more my thing, still struggling with applying the arcane. He opens his spell book, dissatisfied with his spell choices. I really should pick more general spells than specialised solutions. Concentrating on reading he repeats a few lines whispering as not to invoke the magic. Small flames tongue on his left hand, repeating the gestures of a flaming arc. Lady Lizuga, are you up for a dangerous game with fire for tomorrow? The idea is to protect you from flames with an abjuration and then include you in my own pyre. This might have dealt with the smaller demons in seconds, but my flames would still singe you. Spoiler Show Using the Pact Wizard ability to prepare another Burning Hands with my remaining first level spell slot. This takes 1 minute.

Rakieth Anlec Rakieth spins around, centring himself briefly as he seems to almost vibrate from the teachings of the Riven Hourglass. But he finds balance to regains his secrets of the serpent. Then he looks to Lizuga, Iris and Adalbert. "Are any of you injured? It appears our prey remains ever elusive, but we can continue to press on and see if we cannot tempt him back to us."

Instead of recovering maneuvers like a standard stalker, a vigilante must open his mind to the flow of battle and the inherent patterns therein as a full-round action. When he does so, he recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to his vigilante initiation modifier (minimum 2), gains a +4 insight bonus to his AC for one round and can move up to to his speed during the action, provoking attacks of opportunity as normal. In addition, the next attack he makes this encounter adds his sneak attack damage if it hits, regardless of whether or not the target his flanked or flat-footed. Alternately, the vigilante can center his awareness and recover a single maneuver as a standard action.

Lizuga Manescu "Fire? I would be okay, I suppose". She pokes at the felled flying demons. "Why have these things not popped, though?".
