While the storm of hellish chill seemd to stall their movements there was no indication of these infernal soldiers taking any damage from the cold itself. Unaware of the approaching tiefling still they quickly reformed as their foe vanished unto the roof. Running along the wall at base of the building they tactically disappeard from her vison as they rounded the corners exept one standing directly below her pressign his shoulder against the wall. It's roughly 10 yards down from the roof to bottom. The roof is perfectly straight and ther seem to be few features in this black cube. If she turned around towards the center she would spot a two feet wide opening with a grate covering. Without doing much harm to the black structure the ice storm plastered the roofs of near buildings breaking a few brick tiles before it slide down unto the streets below.
((Could I have your CL for the will save please.))
Ralia would see the troopers speeding round the corner. One stayed while the other ran to the next each one until they had all corners of the building tactically covered. They was focused on the woman on the roof for now and a surprise attack might catch them off guard now rather than a few moments later when they had full apprisal of the situation.

Tala targets the soldiers individually now. Throwing a bigby's crushing hand at one. She looks for her next target.
//Caster level is 21 DC is 22 + spell level for Evocation 19 + spell level for other schools. In the case of Stygian Ice Storm that is 29. For more information my character is as far as level 21 on this. http://nwn2db.com/build/?188478
Take all the time you need to respond. This should be fun not a hassle.

If there was a good opportunity to attack scrupulous fiends, this was it.
There was no planning. No berserker dash at the enemy. No thoughts about benefits of the chosen course.
Only action.
Raila positioned her feet for best possible sprint, the legs exploding into motion. The closest to her devil noticed tall figure approaching at high speed too late.
Using advantage of raw strength, range and mastery, Cipher's body chose the most appropriate action to break formation. Flat side of immense heavy blade smashed into the steel-covered legs, attempting to knock the creature off it's feet to the ground.
[uses Knockdown]
Right after this strike, tiefling stayed in crouched position, greatsword already put behind her, ready to swing vertically down at the soldier of Nine Hells.

((Tala))
She watches the phantasmal giantic hand extends it's fingers reaching for it's target before it sweaped around the black guardsman grappeling him and bore him alof Before smashing him down to cobblestone repeatedly. Each impact producing a clamourous clanking followed by a steely clatter as plates was flung from his body. As the main pauldron is torn of him there is a gush of blood a more macabre feature of large maggots covering the naked flesh was revealed.
She cannot spot another devil at her current position but she can hear a dim of steel against steel from her right-handed corner. ements later she hear the sound of sabatons against stone clattering from the far end corners to her back.
********************************************************************
((Raila))
Seeing the charging teifling the devil had too little time to respond to the fleet feeted attacker. He veered into position facing her but could not reposition his unwieldy spear, a flaw of that weapon effective in formation with a multiude but here one on one it was inferior to a sword. The blade was brought down on the thick armour with a resounding clang. His leg was swooped away with the blades motion and he lost balance falling backward crasing into the cobblestoned street while his spear flew out of his gauntled hands and rolling away two yards as it hits the ground a little later than himself. He is Quick to respond albeit being knocked down he clasps his hand around the hilt of his roundel dagger simultaneously as his other hand drew his longsword. She could notice clearly despite the smog that his enourmous vambrace was formed as a shield. His jerking movements was confusing and difficult to read before she could fully perceive it he had slid the weapons half way out of their scabbards. The armour is hellishly thick but there is joints in it.

She casts invisiblity on herself, and goes to investigate the noise behind her.

About to start offense, the tiefling notices her opponent drawing weapon.
Then, something she never experienced before happened.
Her vision felt sharper than usual, the movement of the devil looking very slow. Details of his armor were in her sight, the smallest flaws of infernal plate looking like they were highlighted by unknown force.
Focusing on the space where iron joints were exposed, Raila shifted her grip just a little bit. It looked like a futile move, but it changed the angle of strike, changing aim for strong impact of platinum-like sword.
She did not think. For her, mind felt numb in comparison to body.
As soon as the action started, that fleeting moment of clarity disappeared. The warrior had no time to ask herself what just happened. Even if she wanted, she could not.
The blade, hungry for evil outsider blood, was slashing down, attempting to bypass the defenses of shield and armor. It started with vicious slash, which would flow into recoil and stab, twist of the strong wrist adding more pain and damage to very effective against evil outsiders weapon.

Tala can see Raila rearing her blade over the ground-stricken infernal legionnarie on her left hand corner while on her right she spots two dark silhouettes rounding the corner. Hearing the clamour of metal pounded into stone she is cofident that her previous spell is still in effect. The spearheads glimmered as they lowererd them preparing a charge at the woman below her.
Raila's hand guided the blade without her conscious mind guiding the hand. Drawn from her subconsciousness stored in her mind from rigourous mental and physical traning just as a skilled worker need no vison or thought toperform his task neither did she. Her body shifted and adjusted to the movements of her foe. Even though he was down this was no easy blow to land. As his defensive vambraces was moved upwards to block the blow, amid strike her forward foot urged to move, heel down while rising her toes from the ground veering from her body then pressing her toes down lifting her heel adjusting her foot straight. This supple move made the blade's course slightly skewed and miraculously rounded the vambrace-shield plate while appearing a straight slash. The blade's edge burried Deep into a joint between his vambrace and the massive couter. Blood pouring along the edge Before it streamed down in a Cascade slaking the cobblesstone as well as the redoubted Soldiers armour. Making no sound our the slightest sign of pain but dropping his dagger with a clanking as it bounced against his infernally thick plackart it was a proof of a solid hit.

She sees them ready to charge and she readies a spell. An icestorm. She does not target the baatezu though, she can see the cold does not hurt them. She targets the ground in front of them trying to time it so it becomes frozen and slippery when they charge over it.

Twist of the handle brought more bloodspurts from the gaping hole, black gore oozing from the deadly wound.
Heavy thuds of metal warned tiefling of the reinforcements coming through. Two more soldiers were charging at her with deadly lances. They were not armannites, but their thrusts would not be less deadly.
It took precious time to free the blade from the mix of steel and flesh, two-handed edge lifted in the air with the body and kick dislodging it, unleashing torrent of maggots from devil innards soiling her boots.
All attention of hooded warrior was on the approaching warmongers, however. Muscled body faced the assault sideways, strong feet in chain leggings taking flexible stance to allow both hard deflection ability or quick sidestep, depending on the situation. Her hand was sore from muscle ache, but it did not stop Cipher from putting wide blade as barrier for incoming attack.

Sleet bombs and avalance coming down in front of gave temporary advantage to the Raila, which she used right away. To make charge less effective, basher propelled herself behind the corner to meet the attackers on her own terms.

Frozen in their step the imminent charge came to a halt. With their Spears lowered and a crounched fighting stance. As Raila vanished behind the corner one of the infernal pair turned about and rushed around the corner it had just come from. The other stormed into the swirling storm of ice and sleet. Shards of ice was shattered into a tiny fragments against the thick black armour. The sheer weight of the creature helped it to stay on it's feet making a dash as far as a two thirds of this wall. But it started to stagger and had to put a hand to the buidling lest it would topple over. Meanwhile the devil strucked down by Raila was traquil and motionless. The maggots was slowly crawling back to their host in a pool of his own dark blood. Tala had an exellent opportunity to finish either of them if she was fast enough.
When Raila came around the corner she noticed the fourth devil that previously hand been subdued by Tala's grappling hand. Holding his pauldron presses against his shoulder it had some how been melted back and was once more a part of his body. He knew she was by the looks of it but had just recoved from his injury and hadn't been given the luxury of fully preparing for her arrival. Letting go of his newly fasten shoulder he charged at her with an impressive burst of speed for something so heavily armoured. His spear was supported at a V-shaped indentation in his shield-like vambrace held infront of his gorget as he surged forward with the spearhead aimed straight at her uppper body.
