((*laughs* Paranoid because she's not shouting and the explosive runes didn't make a noise?))<br/><br/>Once Alaedra rushes out, she notices something rather alarming: Two bearded devils on each side of her. Things suddenly start looking rather unfortunate - although that is assuming they are particularly powerful. It briefly occurs to the drow that not only can fiends teleport, they can also summon others of their kin.<br/><br/>She backs away some more, drawing her bow in the process and launching an arrow... it seems the injuries to her back, however, have indeed impaired her aim and the arrow strikes the wall, shattering in a burst of flame. She grows annoyed and decides to call for help, deciding that gaining all the credit is only good if you actually<em>win</em>.<br/><br/>"N'khaar-wav!" she shouts. Succinct, really.<br/><br/>On the plus side, no-one else shows up yet. On the minus side, one of the bearded devils makes a small step to block her path back (so it thinks, not knowing her skill in tumbling), and another thinks that it is blocking her path to the Erinyes. The other two, not wielding glaives, step right up into melee, in doing so moving enough that Alaedra instinctively lashes out, striking both. The first is amazed as it takes such a deep wound (another crit, jeez... 15 + 5), the second also taking a solid strike (9 + 6). But they draw close nonetheless, and swing their claws. Only one manages to rake across her shoulder, however, dealing 8 slashing damage.<br/><br/>The other two then make their moves, striking out with their glaives. Alaedra, however, shows her incredible skill and dodges each attack. It seems they aren't as skillful as they'd like to believe.<br/><br/>(I'd go through a number of rounds, but I figure this is an unexpected turn of events...)
