You can all see the bodies of the the Legion Devils that litter this chamber. They can be searched after the battle, or if you choose to search them DURING the battle you can do so with a Perception Check as a standard action.

AMdG

BATTLE INFO:

The chamber appears to be part of the sewer system, but it has obviously been cleaned out and refurbished to act as a kind of impromptu barracks. A massive fire pit in the center of the room provides plenty of illumination and heat, making the chamber quite dry and comfortable compared to the rest of the sewer.

The PCs all get a surprise round since the other combatants have not noticed their presence yet.

All throughout this encounter, I will let you make knowledge/perception checks at the beginning of your turns as a free action. That is ONE check per turn!

You will need to make a Religion check to identify the large creature, but you already know what the Legion Devils are.

Alright everyone, please roll initiative!

Alright, the surprise round is starting now. The player with the highest initiative goes first. After all of the PCs have acted, we will then go into normal combat, following the normal initiative order.

Sastre is up first.

AMdG

Alright.

Free Action: Speaking.

Sastre turned and looked at his companions over his shoulder, saying, "Listen: I know an awful lot about demons and devils, just about all there is to know, but I have no idea what that thing is." He pointed to the enormous creature, still locked in battle with the four Legion Devils. "That it is demonic in nature I have no doubt, but it is something utterly beyond my knowledge. Everyone try to be cautious, understand?"

Minor Action: Putting away sunrod.

Move Action: Sastre double moves to Q3, drawing his cross-boomerang into his left hand while moving (he is now armed with his whip in his right hand and the boomerang in his left).

Once he is hidden behind the rubble, Sastre peeks his head around the corner to keep the creatures in sight.

That ends my turn.

DM:

Alright.

The surprise round is still going, and it is Mizzely's turn.

AMdG

The fact that even the great Sastre didn't know what the creature was scared Mizzely. Her fur bristled, and she searched the room trying to devise a plan or any sort. Her fear as great as it was, she couldn't even hear the normally soothing voices of the guardians, and that scared her even more.

Taking a deep breath she trotted along the stone floor, trying to move fast while also trying to press her body as close to the floor as physics would allow. She wanted to get a closer look at what it was they were facing before she outright attacked; violence without need was generally frowned upon in her society.

She took up a position near the Hunter so should he need assistance she would be able to help, and tried to make sense of what her eyes could see.

Please, guides, help me to know what it is we face.

Double Move action: move to O-7, avoiding bodies along the way

DM:

Your check results have been sent via PM.

Continue.

AMdG

Mizzely looked at the large demon in front of her, and stayed as hidden behind the stones in front of her as she could. She had never seen anything like it, and if there was something to be discerned merely by looking at it, she couldn't find it.

She readied herself in a position, ready to pounce should the need arise.

End turn.

DM:

Rosalyn is next in the surprise round.

AMdG

Double moving to space M6. Rosalyn already had both her swords drawn before the encounter. Perception check:
