Cass relates that to the others. "These guys are aggressive and hotheaded, rush into tactical errors, and they will underestimate you mortals. If you have silver, use it."

Lanval targets the Deevil in the lead and starts the combat with a bolt of energy to hopefully give them pause.

As he saw the burst of energy crackle out in the distance, he scooped up the radio and leapt out the door. He hoped to use the distraction of the opening burst to get into position to flank the deevils, behind them and away from the town. Hopefully they would turn and face the 'real' threat, leaving the 'mere mortals' at their back.

@Verrain Let's say you're Well Hidden. Would you like to spend a Fate Point to invoke that on this roll?

OOC:
Sure. Let's do that.

OOC:
Okay so that brings your total to 7.
A bolt of arcane power flashes from Lanval to the Deevil just breaking the treeline. It catches the thing in the chest, and the fiend drops to the ground with a smoking hole in its torso. The others grunt and look around in dismay.
OOC:
@Verrain who goes next?

Cassiopeia Canon charges from the houses and into the midst of the Deevils. At the last minute, she lunges to the side, so as not to get immediately swarmed. Passing by the first, she cleaves into that one with her psi-sword.
OOC:
Because I have a Psi-Sword, I get a +2 when I use Fight to Attack when in in melee range.

Cassiopeia's psi-sword cuts the next Deevil in twain, and it's bisected body falls to the ground.

Paging Dr. Adatahl, @greygriffin

A peal of thunder sounded, as the Lyn-Srial arced into the air, propelled by a snap of his wings that rattled the windowpanes and fuelled by a mystical wind. In a streak of gold, shimmering pale in the moonlight, he descended among the beasts, talons-first, a powerful foot gripping a deevil by its face and dragging it to the ground.

Catapulting to his feet and flipping behind the line of battle, drawing two shining white blades from thin air, he adopted a straight-backed fencing pose, silently challenging the beasts with the point of his sword, the other held behind his back in a cheeky salute.
OOC:
Oops, that should be +6. Next are the Deevils, I believe..?

A fate point for everyone just for awesomeness of description.
The Deevil that Adatahl grabs collapses to the ground in a heap.

The other Deevils howl and charge Adatahl and Cassiopeia. Five of them gang up on the Lyn-Srial and four attack the cyber-knight. They slash at you with their claws.

Whew that's a lot of rolls.
Adatahl you are attacked five times. You must defend against target numbers 1, 3, 4, 2 and 1.

Cassiopeia you're attacked four times. You must defend against target numbers 3, 2, 3 and 2.

Cass takes it on the chin, knowing she's usually tough enough to take a blow or two. Four? Maybe.

@GreyGriffin need some defense rolls for Adatahl.

Adatahl sees the deevils charge in, and shakes his head with disappointment. He opened his hands, letting the blades tumble towards the ground, disintegrating into puffs of mist before they struck. Four arms stretched into a cross, wings folding in as he took a confident step forwards. Eyes widened, belying the concentration behind the display that was made to look almost effortless, as his four hands grasped and turned their lunging arms, throwing them effortlessly into the woods behind him, dedicating each hand to a display of defensive martial arts that turned his attackers into a stumbling whirl of uncoordinated bodies.

"You know... you are permitted to withdraw..." he suggested, giving a sympathetic shrug.

Adatahl tosses Deevils left and right, a blur of martial arts mastery. Many of them are put Off Balance by him.
OOC:
@GreyGriffin you gain the boost Off Balance on three of the Deevils.

I pick who goes next, and the Deevils go again.
The Deevils surrounding Adatahl return to their feet and try to pile on him, burying him under their bodies.

Adatahl, please defend against 0, -1, 2, 4 and 2.

The Deevils around Cassiopeia back away from her glowing blade. "Cyber-knight! one of them says. "Retreat!" They turn and run.
