With a swift and sudden motion, the devil plunges the butt of his weapon into the ground and utters a brief incantation in a deep, growling whisper punctuated with the sickening clacking sounds of its mouthparts. Ice crystals begin to sprout from the narrow canyon walls between the entrance to the cirque, growing and thickening and lancing toward each other to form, in a matter of seconds, a solid frozen wall, sealing off the passage.

Party members, it's your turn!

Yes. Here's a rough map:

OOC:
Would fire arrows work fresh out of the sea? lol
Leth steps to the side, trying to get a clear shot at the creature past his allies, and lets loose two arrows in quick succession.

Zangua descends with a fury upon the ice devil, slashing once, twice, then smashing the butt of his glaive into the fiend's belly to launch himself back away from it. Even in the heat of combat, he dimly recalls the words the elf Pafthinel spoke about the purpose of the Iron Sphere:
Quote:
"A proper arrangement of ordinary magnetic stones at that point would collapse the magnetic field around the Sphere into a vortex, creating a conduit between the two from anywhere in the Multiverse."
Behind the ice wall, a cyclone of mist swirls about, lifting bright sparks up to the menacing sky. If Gorham has already managed to send some signal to his cultists, it could be only a matter of moments before the Iron Sphere opens up its gateway to the city of Hazard.

Meanwhile, Felor closes on his foe and swings his mace with an intimidating Jermal war cry, but the devil dances away with uncanny grace as two of Leth's arrows embed themselves in its flank. The devil does not even seem to notice them. Instead, it swivels its head toward Zangua and thrusts its weapon at him. At the same time, it flicks its tail around like a whip toward Felor.

Zangua, take your Sentinel feat attack.

Edit: Zangua takes a hard blow from the devil's weapon, but Felor throws himself flat to avoid the tail lashing over his head.

Party, it's your turn again.

Zangua reacts as the devil's tail lashes out, bringing his glaive down to thwart the attack upon Felor. He continues his flurry of attacks, hacking away at the devil.

What kind of check would I need to do to see if fire arrows or silver arrows would be more effective?

Leth furrows his brow as he realizes his arrows aren't being as effective as he'd hoped, and considers the other options in his arsenal...
