Reed stands completely still for a few moments as he looks into the room, his eyes shifting slightly. He then closes the door very quietly and comes back to the group.
He looks at Virro and nods.
"Yeah your boom ball might be the way to go," Reed whispers. "Six cultists and a devily thing. Who buys into cults anyways? That's a lot of rules."
He listens to the air near his head for a second.
"Right, and look where it got you."
Reed looks back at the door. Then to the other one.
"The two doors probably connect to the same room," Reed surmises. "Virro could light them up then we could attack from both."
"A devily thing like one we have come across before, or something new", Corlith whispers back to Reed. "Chances are the cultists won't survive Virgo's flames, so that is really all we have to worry about".
He gets ready to position himself by one of the doors, but not so close to mean he will enter first.
"disillusioned people in their late teens, folks who have nowhere else to turn and need something to believe in" IronMaiden answers after thinking perhaps a little too long on Reeds rhetorical question about cultists, "so Virro fireballs the room and then we rush the remainders?" The robotic tinny voice clarifies getting ready to fight.
Virro moves forward, holding his shield up and points it towards the humans identified by Reed in the next room. He whispers as he’s moving by, “Fire in the hole!” As he rotates the shield to face them, a huge ball of fire is vomited forth from the face on the shield, striking all of the humans within a 20 foot radius sphere. He steps back and readies himself for the ensuing battle.
Fireball : From maximal distance with visualization, the shield hurls a ball of flame, doing 31 points of fire damage, DC 21 Dex save to half the damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
"An all white devil...", Corlith repeats after Reed said he had not seen this one before. And then the plan was in motion. He looks around wondering which of them would be first through each of the doors.
He hadn't admitted it to the others, but he was a little low on energy himself. He hoped they would be able to deal with a single devil without exerting himself.
As Corlith contemplates his life decisions, Virro's fireball erupts in the temple and he gets the door closed in front of him right as it goes off.
The shield's spell hits each one of the men that are searching for hidden survivors or any kind of loot they can come across. Jump away or no, they are all completely burnt to a crisp. The white devil looks aghast as he is surrounded by burnt and singed bodies now and stares at the door Virro just closed. "Hide will you? Come now, are you a coward?" he hisses..
Virro opens the door, walking into the room and nostrils sniffing the sulfurous smell, a smile comes to his face as he sees the charred bodies, then he turns his head to the right, spying the white devil at the end of the room. “A coward, you say? HL just burned up all of your little friends. But it looks like a different sort of flame is needed for you…”. Virro waves his hands and a flaming light shoots down toward the devil. He stays toward the far end of the room, observing him.
Casts : Sacred flame on the devil : 11 points of radiant damage, DC 15 Dex save to avoid.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
The devil hisses again as the radiant damage burns him. He hops a bit from foot to foot regarding his new foe.
Hearing what is going on in the next room, Reya wipes some blood off her forearm and regrips her sword. Charging past Roo, she pushes open the door and sidles up next to the foul breathing creature.
Her first swing goes wide, but her second crits and as the sword bites his skin, she sees that it is resistant to her attack. (12 reduced to 6 damage) Her shortsword in her offhand misses the mark as well.
As the sword draws a little ichor from the devil, it turns and attempts to bite Reya, but she sidesteps quickly.
Reed slips in behind Virro, and remembering the problem of log jams before, he then uses the creature's attack on Reya as cover to race across the room (essentially moving straight south 30' to get behind cover in hallway entrance there).
As he moves he nocks an arrow onto his bow string so that as soon as he stops running he lets it fly at the devil.
Reed then slips as much as he can behind the wall to hide.
Action - Short bow: 10 to hit for 15 piercing (including sneak attack)
Bonus Action - Cunning Action - Stealth to hide: 17
Virro returns the smile of the devil with a sneer. He reaches up to his chest and grabs his sanctum amulet with his hand, and says “Arise” with force to Reya. The amulet flashes with pale light and her eyes open, she returns to life with 1 hit point. “Try again, fiend!” Virro says in a victorious manner to the devil.
IronMaiden sees Reya go down and something convulses within them, just before Virro's reaction takes hold and spares the young woman's life, heat radiates the corridor and a loud "NO!" escapes the suit as the orange flame takes over and Archie leaps over Roo and pushes Reya out of the way (18 strength, pushing prone Reya) of the devil, turning her back on the hostile in the process and protecting Reya.
With that done Archie stands and cries out "Lulu help!"
Roo is in the process of trying to say something, and then everyone floods into the room with the sort of zeal that he might sport before a fight. The Gallus sighs...and then sees Reya almost get took out.
"I'm coming Reya!" He says, darting around Archie's feet. He moves to the opposite side of the devil, trying to sandwich it between him and the Ironmaiden as his mace comes out. "Know that my name is Roo' Stor, and I will add your carcass to the walkway I pave out of this place!"
Roo swings the mace and misses abysmally. All he can do is give the devil a mean look.
"Damn thing, mustn't be balanced right."
Turn Summary
Movement: 20 feet to the opposite side of the devil Action- Attack w/ Mace: 10 to hit (MISS)
Hearing her name being called the small golden elephant flies in right after the charging rooster and stops as it faces the terrible devil. Lulu rams her little horns into the devils shoulder with a total of 2 magical damage. He barely seems to notice.
Corlith is last into the room, surveying the scene as he enters. Reya looks hurt, but Ironmaiden was protecting her. Or was it Archie now, he had her voice and now he looks closer the flames are Archie's colour.
There was indeed only the white devil left, just as he had surmised, but it seemed was proving quite tough.
"Stubborn one I see", he mutters.
He points at the devil and twice speaks a word of magic, and with the aid of his bracers two radiant pillars of flame descend towards the fiend.
Movement: 15ft into the room, North of Virro Action: Sacred Flame on white devil - DC16 Dex Save or take 4+5=9 [radiant] damage Bonus Action: Sacred Flame on white devil - DC16 Dex Save or take 7+5=12 [radiant] damage
Virro smiles at Corlith, saying “That’s it, that is what tends to burn it!” He points at it in the same manner and a streak of light shoots down, attempting to continue to pressure on the devil, burning it up.
Sacred Flame : DC 15 Dex save or take 9 points of radiant damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
The devil cries out in pain as he evades Corlith's flame but gets the brunt of Virros.
Reya sees her blood pooling on the floor after Archie had pushed her out of harms way. Standing up, she limps away from the creature, her head swimming with it all. Pulling out her magic missile wand, she expends 2 charges for 6 damage.
Reed looks at the scene unfolding and shakes his head. They needed more magic weapons if they were going to be dealing with a lot more devils. That's a problem for later. For now he takes a breath, keeps his body still and lets an arrow fly through towards the icky white devil.
Bonus Action - Steady Aim
Action - Short Bow - (12, 9 + 8) = 20 to hit for (7 + 10 sneak attack) = 17 piercing
The creature shrieks as the arrow pierces his skin - even though it doesn't go as deep as Reed would have expected on a normal person. But as he takes damage, he bites out at Roo, delivering 5 piercing damage and 4 cold damage to the rooster.
He then turns to his original prey and seeing that Archie has pushed her away to safety and that she has run out of his reach, he screeches in frustration. He bites out at Archie this time, but misses along with his claw attack. But when he grabs hold of his longsword and swings it at the suit of armor it finds an opening and crits, delivering 14 slashing damage.

Not even noticing the arrow that flies above his head, the devil focuses on the young woman in front of him.
First, he swings his longsword at Reya, it connects and draws more blood from the poor girl (7 damage), she is barely hanging on.
He then tries to claw at her, but as she stumbles from the first attack, his talons swipe at thin air.
Finally, he reaches in to bite Reya.. and his teeth find flesh - and she slips to the floor (had only 1 hp left)
He turns smiling at Virro, but keeping an eye on the two doors...
Virro returns the smile of the devil with a sneer. He reaches up to his chest and grabs his sanctum amulet with his hand, and says “Arise” with force to Reya.
