Draiss snorted to himself, up on the walls, before sending the latest information about the army to the demons, and informing them that they were moving into position, as well as advising that the commanders grab another one hundred demons each. That would make the odds twenty five to one rather than fifty, and while he wanted more, four hundred demons was going to strain the portals far more than anticipated, having to stay open for nearly a minute instead of the twenty seconds he had guessed.. The ritual had been set up about a quarter of a mile from the city, and the portals were in a hemisphere behind that, so the army was going to be nearly sitting on it, except for the most forward units. That the army had managed to hire twenty one total dragons was amusing, and he idly scanned the forces, debating about picking out a pegasus and griffon now, or waiting for the end of the battle, before dismissing the exercise as the mental waste of time it was.<br/><br/>He waited until the first units were closing in on the circle, before casting invisibility on himself and jumping over the wall, spreading his wings to soften the landing, before sprinting for the line. He waited a moment, long enough to steady his breathing, before reverting to his half dragon balor form, and dismissing the invisibility, his Sivridut easily carried in one hand, waiting for the perfect second, before twisting the ritual, flooding it with magic, and idly hoping his new runes would hold as it quickly surged outward, hoping it didn't just go boom. It shouldn't but he was playing with a fairly unusual application of a spell, and while it was unlikely, anything would go. He did scan the dragons for any he knew, not intending to make friends or friends of allies into a whimpering demon bitch, as he released the ritual spell, and readied the portal spell. He sent Kammy and Ash a warning, counting down to the portal spells coming up, before twisting and pouring magic into those, as the wave of magic from the ritual subsided, not able to appreciate the results until after the demons were present.
