Ragnaris, who is still falling, checks to make sure there are no other demons trying to catch the cage.

Perception: 42

 There are hundreds, from all sides of the miles wide chasm, diving towards them at breakneck speeds. Some are catching up, no longer afraid of him. Or just more afraid of the devil living in the spire right over there.

 (If he uses his Flame Breath, about how many would he hit?)

Flame Breath recharge: 4

 *at least a quarter of them, probably. But there are a looooot of them, around 10 percent being pit fiends*

 He casts maddening darkness, and centers it where the demons are grouped closest together. Any of them within a 60 foot sphere must succeed on a DC 30 Wis save or take 43 psychic damage.

(I know the demons have Devil's Sight, but it's a big AoE spell that deals some decent damage.)

 Many of the devils perish or fall from the sky, before catching themselves on the rocks or with their wings. Others, like bone and horned devils, dive out of the darkness. (None of the devils here can make that save.

The others dive towards the cage, and some are emerging from caves below to catch the cage as well.

 Flame Breath recharge: 3

He then casts circle of death on the next largest group. Any of them in a 60 foot sphere take 23 necrotic damage. DC 30 Con save for half.

Quote from TheFriendlyArchfey >>

 They do their best to set up a little campfire right next to the boy, and adds to it as much as they can. They don’t enjoy the salamander on their shoulder, but they don’t shoo them away.

 the salamander helps as best it can, but you can tell it doesnt excel at fire. the boy shivers more and more until you get the fire going.

 Once the fire is started, Lonely slowly sits down next to the boy, trying to warm him up as best as they can.

 

 the boy sits up and practically smothers the fire trying to get warm.

 “Oh-… don’t do that… you might get burnt.” They say, hoping the salamander will translate. He grabs onto their arm and pulls him back.

 the salamander looks at the boy who backs only partially away from the fire. he stays curled around it though and seems to have somewhat stopped shaking.

 “Will he be okay?” They ask the lizard.

 the lizard shakes it's head not knowing, then looks at lonely from his shoulder "i am sorry for snapping earlier. whats your name? i'm lily"

 “I’m… Lonely. And what was his name again?”

 "h-hemy..."

 “Oh, yeah… thanks. What language does he speak?”

 she shakes her head. "he doesnt. he can't speak. never has been able to"

 “Oh. Why’s that?”

 she shakes her head again "i-i dont know... but his people sent him away for fear he was cursed"

 “Thats sad… I know how it is to be abandoned by people. When did it happen?”

 Same thing happens, many fall out of the sky.

Ragnaris can feel some sort of dark presence emerging from the spire. Powerful, dangerous, and very monstrous. It looks out of a window Rag doesn’t think was there before and watches the fight. He can’t tell what it is.

 “F-Fine…” he says, as if he was in pain with saying it, almost wimpering. The portal between the court room and Nessus closes as they say that.

 He begins to fly close to the fiend "Lead me to by grandfather."

 Lonely sits back down next to Hemy, checking in on him to make sure he’s doing okay.

 He sighs and flies to where the portal was, he grabs at reality once more "Grandfather, give me strength." He then pulls with all his might. Athletics:52

 Easily, he tears the whole through reality, leading directly to the flaming hellscape that is outside Abaddon’s courthouse. But it seems that Nessus’ reality weaving is stronger than the demiplane, so the whole is a bit smaller, not a problem though.

the Pit fiend, still hovering there, is freaking out.

Ragnaris eyes it for a split second, then returns to his current task. (Would it be possible for him to dimension door the cage 500 feet back up to buy some more time? The description says 'you can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed what you can carry', and I think as a Gargantuan creature he should be able to carry the cage.) He casts synaptic static in the next largest group. Any creature within a 20 foot sphere takes 40 psychic damage, and has muddled thoughs. DC 30 Int save for half damage and no muddled thoughs.

the Pit fiend, still hovering there, is freaking out.

 He looks back to the fiend and he sighs, his voice much softer than before "Come with me if you want to live. I will keep you safe if you fight alongside me." He then walks through the hole, waiting a bit to see if the fiend follows after him. *Man, Rag needs a romantic interest, be needs someone to hold him right now. I'll figure that out after he finishes his mission impossible.*
