Archie sees that her fists make good solid contact with the devil as the thunder damage rolls through him. The woman behind the group sets down her kids and draws her longbow. A bit off kilter with the group surprising her by rushing to her aid, the arrow goes wide.
Seeing the bearded fiend standing there alone, and the arrow leaning slightly away from the errant arrow fired by the woman, Corlith steps forward.
"All your kind are going to learn. There is a new order in town, and the likes of you are not welcome any more", he says and holds both hands up in the air, lowering them together as two pillars of radiance descend on it.

"Learn huh? Well you oughta learn to aim!" The devil retorts as he twists his body to steer clear of the radiant pillars of light.
"And this, it sure ain't yours!!" He shouts at Roo as he attempts to rip the bearded wig from on top of the avian's head. (Roo - need to beat a 12 to keep your wig...athletics or acrobatics)
Then seeing how his friends lay dead at his feet, he turns tail and runs.
"Cluck you!" Roo screams as he twists out of the devil's attempt to grab his headpiece, and then slashes with his shortsword. When the devil runs, Roo takes after him, screaming the whole way and slashing at his heels. "Cluck you! Cluck you cluck you cluck you!"

Virro steps forward and sends another ghostly hand after the devil, trying to trip it up. He turns to look at the woman with curiosity after casting the spell, wondering whether to run after the devil or let it flee. “Why? Why were they chasing you?” he asks the woman.
Chill touch : 26 to hit, for 8 points of necrotic damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
If the devil is still standing/running after Virro's spectral hand grabs hold of it again, Reed trots forward several paces (to keep within 60') and takes advantage of Roo's continual harassment to look for a decent spot to stick another arrow in the devil.
The devil gasps for air as the touch hits him hard. He isn't bloodied yet though.
The woman looks towards Virro, "To capture us I guess? It's what they have done with others! We're just trying to get food." The kids behind her are sobbing and start clinging to her as the devil is no longer an immediate threat.
Lulu hangs back with Reya now that the devil is fleeing. Keeping an eye on the other side streets, she is warry of others coming.
After slamming another fist into the devil as he flees, (AoO, 17 to hit, 5 thunder damage) Archie grabs up her javelin stuck in one of the felled devils and gives chase after Roo, moving 15ft toward the fleeing devil and launching it in his direction (13 to hit, 5 piercing) "get back here you lowly Lemure!" (cheeky persuasion to goad him to face us 12)
Corlith shakes his head as the beard fiend tells him to learn to aim.
"Practice makes perfect", he calls after it, and tries again with another two pillars of radiance that descend towards it.

Both attacks from Archie land and he turns and growls at her with her attempt to call him a lesser devil, but it doesn't get him to stop from leaving.
As Corlith's first pillar of light burns him, he yells out and he is getting worse for the wear. He continues to run, dashing this time and Roo can make another AoO.
Roo keeps after his target, taking his opportunity to sink his shortsword into the devil again as he turns to make stupid faces or whatever at Archie. Divine energy pours through his body as this happens, hitting the fiend hard.
When the devil runs again, Roo dashes after him, but being unable to catch up, his feathers bristle and he coughs up an Eldritch Blast toward the fleeing bastard's back.
"I'll make underwear out of your beard when I cut it off of you!"
Turn Summary
Reaction- Attack of Opportunity: Shortsword- 22 to hit, 5 damage + 15 from Divine Smite Bonus Action / Movement: Dash 50', chasing Bearded Devil Action: Eldritch Blast- 25 to hit, 9 damage
Archie catches up at a slower pace panting from the chase, "tell me you're not gonna actually wear the beard like underwear..." She questions through strained breaths before kneeling to search the body (15 investigation) once done she lets Roo do his thing and once he has his trophy she mutters, "Come... we shouldn't draw too much attention to ourselves, lets get back, quickly"
One of the remaining windows in the building next to the main group suddenly explodes outward, showering the sidewalk below in glass. Whether it was due to the crumbling structure or the heat expanding from the fire within the building, its anyone's guess.
The woman puts away her longbow and ushers her toddlers behind her as she takes the lot of you in. She then lets out a breath and you can see how weak and shaky she really is. "Thank you all. I don't know who sent you to our aid, but if you hadn't come when you did..." she shudders, "I hate to think where they would have taken us. My name is Harkina, we were, I mean, we are looking for food we have run out."
Corlith turns away so as not to have to witness Roo's ritual, and looks at the woman and her children.
"We have some rations which you are welcome to. Have they captured all the others, or are you part of a bigger group. Is there somewhere you can go that is safer?", he asks, thinking over the food situation. "I have to confess, I had not expected to come across a food shortage. There must be plenty in the city if it can be accessed, right?".
He digs in his pack for some rations to offer the three of them.
Virro turs to the woman, then back to Reya, saying “Do you recognize where we are? I know it must look vastly … different. But it would make sense to find where a group of people have sheltered in response to such an event….” he looks ahead and keeps his eyes on doorways and the streets, making sure they are not being observed, that there are no other devils about to descend upon them.

Reed doesn't want to add to the woman's troubles but they can use more information about the situation they're in.
"Are the devils everywhere in the city?" Reed asks then looks at the others. "Does anyone know what devils are like? Do they run wild? Have rules? Bosses?"
Harkina gratefully takes the rations and immediately gives two to her children. "You all are blessings. First save us from those monsters and then give us food? How will we ever repay you?" She notices Reed's hesitancy, "I will gladly answer questions, yes I believe devils roam free here, trying to capture the people that are left. As for who all has been captured and such? I do not know. We were just hunkered down in the basement of a tavern that had enough reserves of food and water to keep us alive for a time. Unfortunately that ran out and we were trying to find food and water.
"Many of Elturel’s citizens died when the city was drawn to this terrible place. Still more have died in the days since, from the attacks of terrible creatures, a lack of food and water, and the collapse of many of the city’s buildings. From what I have heard from other survivors is that the city has been split in two and that this side is worse off. The High Hall," She points to the fortress you all were already planning on trying to get to, "is the great castle that is home to Elturel's leaders, it's where I am trying to take my boys. I sure hope Thavius Kreeg is working on a plan to rescue all the survivors and drive away the devils, he's the leader of our city. Oh! And if he's still alive, Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard of Baldur's Gate is probably there as well."
At hearing Kreeg's name, Reya stiffens. But decides not to get into all that, instead she turns to Virro, "Oh yes, I know exactly where we are, and she is right we need to head to High Hall. As for the city splitting... I wonder how we get to the other side, I hope there is a bridge or something?"

"Cluck you!" Roo screams as he twists out of the devil's attempt to grab his headpiece, and then slashes with his shortsword. When the devil runs, Roo takes after him, screaming the whole way and slashing at his heels. "Cluck you! Cluck you cluck you cluck you!"

As the bearded devil turns to run, before getting out of Roo's reach, the rooster strikes him down with his divine smite.
You are out of combat.
Archie catches up at a slower pace panting from the chase, "tell me you're not gonna actually wear the beard like underwear..." She questions through strained breaths before kneeling to search the body (15 investigation) once done she lets Roo do his thing and once he has his trophy she mutters, "Come... we shouldn't draw too much attention to ourselves, lets get back, quickly"
Reed moves forward to join the others, managing to recover one of his arrows, still sticking nicely out of one of the devils.
He smiles at the toddlers.
”Can we help you get home?”
