"It is done," the pit fiend Alskandermakedon intoned, but then turned to Aria, "I am familiar with the magic your rather...curiously comely companion used, it may not last long enough to get the demon sufficiently high. Help me knock it out first!"<br/><br/>Aria was just tucking the orb away extradimensionally, and planning to fly a safe distance away, but instead she turned about in the air. Her body spun horizontally, cape-wings slashing the air, and she spun the heel of a straightened leg against the back of the balor's head.<br/><br/>"That's it!" the pit fiend's eyes lit up at the sudden strike, and he landed on the opposite side of the demon, when he began laying into his archnemesis with an almost draconic array of smacks: claws folded into fists, buffets of the wings, bites, and even a heavy slap of a distended red spade-headed tail many times the size of Aria's.<br/><br/>Aria, for her part, drew a sap and wheeled it over her own head like a lasso, before thwacking the balor's thick skull with it, while she continued to kick at its head, almost dancing on it as the balor itself danced in place.<br/><br/>The pit fiend laughed uproariously as it continued to smack the dancing demon around like an abusive spouse. "Yes! Just so! Feel the power! Feel it...in the bones, little daughter, in the blood!! When this is all over, you belong in the ranks of the Blood War, not on some candy-coated and bouncing-breasts plane such as this!"<br/><br/>The balor's capering slowed, then the creature slumped down with a heavy crash. The pit fiend slapped its palms together, licking its fangs and grinning at both Aria and Kass. "My, my...I can scarce think of a a less dignified way for Dariospersias to go; how fitting! I would only that more sniveling demons might witness it! An audience of fleeing eladrin petitioners will have to suffice...let this triumph of the Hells be sang of for ages hence!"<br/><br/>The fiend gripped the balor under the armpits again, thrust its own legs powerfully against the crushed cobbles, then began to lift off with powerful wing-beats. In half a minute they were several hundred feet in the air, and Aria had flown a ways off horizontally, standing upon a rooftop at the corner of the block with the sap exchanged for a bow.<br/><br/>The tiefling shot to kill this time; the pit fiend, still laughing jovially, held the unconscious balor facing her below, and shouted with glee as arrows appeared embedded right in the demon's eye sockets and throat.<br/><br/>Then the flesh of the demon rended with cracks of fiery light, the pit fiend grinned and called, "Enjoy sprinkling the streets of your fellow chaos-fairies, Dariospersias!" and vanished in a smoky puff.<br/><br/>It appeared on the street, right alongside Kass and towering over her (perhaps choosing its proximity deliberately to make an impression), and already starting skyward. The body of the balor exploded before it could fall even a single foot: for a split second, its limbs and digits were flying outward in all directions, then even they do were vaporized as a radiating sphere of fiery light encompassed all. It lit up the rosy Brightwater sky like an ungodly firework, then was gone just as quickly, leaving a fine, sparse snowy powder drifting down.<br/><br/>The pit fiend slapped his knees, roaring with cruel delight and savoring the victory. Aria began to fly back towards Kass, looking to her for any cues.<br/><br/><br/><br/>As far as I'm concerned pit fiends, balors, and most things can be either gender, I just mean these two happen to be male.<br/><br/>Round 3<br/>Aria - stow orb, draw sap and move into flanking position w/ the pit fiend, AoO with unarmed<br/>Pit Fiend - full attack (+ claw AoO) at balor, dealing nonlethal damage<br/><br/>Round 4<br/>Aria - AoO + full attack with unarmed / sap<br/>Pit Fiend - nonlethal AoO + full attack again<br/><br/>(Not rolling...it's almost certain they can deal enough nonlethal damage in that time; thanks to Inspire Courage most of these attacks would only miss on natural 1, And they'd have round 5 as well if needed: the IDance would end on Kass's turn on round 4, but then Aria and the pit fiend's turns on round 5 would precede the balor's (they'd get full attacks but not AoOs).<br/><br/>Pit fiend flies up with balor to altitude 200', readies action to teleport once the balor explodes<br/>Aria flies to corner of block; ranged full attack(s) with sniper's shot (using 1 sniper's shot charge...if she didn't kill it with one full attack, she could more slowly kill it with 'regular' arrow attacks)<br/>Balor dies; pit fiend teleports (readied actions precede their triggers, so it takes no damage)
