Fuck.  She can't do much about the slam, but the manage to twist with it to dodge the spear.  But the sweeping slashes are a problem.  The protection from fire was the right choice it means an arm thrown in the way slows the saber just enough that it can't decapitate her.  She still lose a hand and the lower part of her arm though.  But you know what doesn't require hand motions or even thinking too hard?  Greater teleport.

Darth Occlus can feel the rock seem to disappear.  It left behind a hand and part of an arm though!

Anevia puts 4 arrows in the general area, but none of them connect.  Was that a teleport out?

"Do you still sense it, is it gone?  Anyone got a Magic Circle Against Evil?  The off chance it got a dominate on someone is worth the spell I think.  The hand looks humanoid, so I'm guessing succubus, maybe Lilitu if today is really not our lucky day."

"I've got a communal protection from evil!" someone responds.

"It has gone," Occlus confirms.

"Did anyone see anyone freeze up strangely?  Anyone feeling off?"  She whispers to Darth Occlus: "Does your perception or magic senses or however it works for you indicate anyone is acting off?  Or better yet if you can just read minds."

Actually they aren't entirely devoid of arcane casting.  She addresses everyone.  "Anyone have a detect thoughts to spare?"

"Give me 15... uh no 30 minutes and I can have one ready!"  says the same person that had the Communal Protection from Evil.

"I think a second Communal Protection from Evil might be a better pick?"

She stretches her feelings out. Any changes from the background hum of thought she has been vaguely aware of?

Everyone is a bit more worried about the prospect of dealing with a succubus, but there aren't any big shifts you would expect if someone was being mind controlled.

"I sense nothing out of the ordinary here," she informs Anevia, then retakes her seat.

Teleportation. How vexing. And the loss of a single arm is evidently not quite sufficient to restrict casting. She will arm herself better, if she stays. In the meantime, she has one guess for where the sneak may have run. Occlus casts her mind back to the room with the chair. What does she sense?

Demons and cultist are hurrying to organize an attack!  They are uneasy, their leader was maimed and is on edge.  She is likely to kill or at least brand them at the slightest provocation.  Not all of them can teleport, so they are apparently figuring out the best route to launch an attack.  They aren't disciplined, but personal threats by their leader seem to be pulling them together for the moment.

"Hold off on the protection from evil then... what else can you do with that open slot?"  Anevia gets engaged in a conversation with the wizard about whether to start preparing something else now or to keep it open.  It looks to Anevia like Darth Occlus is concentrating on something, she'll leave her to it.

Where is the attack aimed? Is the leader present?

An eyeless demon rock missing a hand is strutting around alternating between relatively coherent orders and unhinged rants.

"Fucking kill the bitch with the glowing sword, get in close, attack her from afar, throw everything at her!  Without her lightning her best attack is her glowing sword, which can only get one target at a time, and it isn't impossible to dodge.  Her only other attack that can get multiple target is just tossing you around a bit with raw force, it can't be that hard just to swarm her."

Apparently someone is doubting her because she lashes out with her tail, branding them with some profane marking.

"Anyone with any doubts about who is scarier, I will settle that right fucking now!"

That apparently merits two more cultists and a demon getting branded!

She calms herself.

"They haven't left many defenders on the Wardstone, they are probably overconfident about their lightning monk.  So we are going through a secret passage out of here, going through the Shield Maze (thank you for that suggestion, darling), sneaking along a few routes in the caves to take them from multiple directions, then we swarm the lightning bitch and the rest of them should be fodder.  I will have a telepathic bond on each groups leader, do not go before I give the signal or so help me you will be wishing you had died to the Wardstone defenders when I got a hold of you!"

Something catches her attention and she snaps her head around as if trying to look back at Darth Occlus, but can't find the right direction to look. 

"Get some detect magics up, look for a scrying sensor or maybe someone invisible!  We are not fucking messing up this plan because someone can't fucking keep alert for spying!"

She brands a cultist that is fumbling with casting a detect magic.

She follows that up with some telepathic orders that Darth Occlus can't quite perceive.

She lacks control. Pathetic. Occlus will enjoy killing her.

Those in the crevasse by the Wardstone will see a glowing violet ghost stand up out of Occlus, look into the distance, and fade away. (Her chest flares with pain. She will deal with it later. For now, it is fuel.)

In the fortress room, an ethereal apparition appears behind the armless rock demon, eyes flaring purple. It closes a fist, and the tailed demon's head twists violently to the left as her body twists right. A crushing band digs in around the center of her throat and pushes up. A wave of the other hand and terrorpainfear sweeps the other occupants.

She struggles.  Her body is far tougher than that of a mundane human of her size, but enough squeezing and pulling and eventually her head tears clean off.

She tries to teleport out, but the pain is actually too much, even for her, and it fails.

The human cultists are screaming and running away.  Most of the demons instead teleport out.  (If Minagho is dead she can't coerce them to stay here and risk their lives, and Deskari or Areelu don't personally know them to track them down to punish them later.)

That is a neat looking trick.  She'll wait until she is sure Darth Occlus has finished what she is doing before asking about what it was.

Two of the spellcasters with them in the crevasse cast detect magic to see if they can figure out whatever spell (or Ki power?) it was Darth Occlus cast.  ...it apparently doesn't show up to detect magic?  So it is probably a Ki technique?  That's too bad.  Or maybe she's a psion, that would be neat!

The ghost floats upwards through the fortress until it reaches the open sky. Where is that dragon?

She's outside the fortress, gathering up crusaders and preparing to storm it.  At the moment she is eliminating a smaller group of demons so the crusaders don't get attacked in the flank when they attack the garrison.

Over the ghost goes. Once the dragon is done, the ghost speaks in a voice that echoes more in the mind than the air. "The leader is slain. Press your attack."

"Identify yourself!"  It looks kind of like Darth Occlus, but she isn't sure.  She casts a detect magic to try to make sense of the spell... it seems it isn't actually a spell?  Or maybe it is masked cleverly with illusion?
