Meta-spiel for a moment.
One of my issues with D&D or w/e game engine is that its always "The world waiting to respond to the party"
IMO, thats a false paradigm to put the players in. Obviously the players are pinnacle and the most consequent aspect of any story, but to assume that any group or faction or whatever is just sitting there going "Gee this sucks, sure would be nice if,...." is backward.
This world was designed to allow groups and interests to operate and develop as is their nature. As such, the players can often (and will) find themselves on the defensive, or (case in point) trying to fend off an army that they neither saw coming nor are particularly prepared to surmount.

With Trump's spell, all the dretches, lemures, bearded devils,, succubi, erinyes, imps, and quasits have been expelled. What remains is a mix of barbed devils, ice devils, chain devils, bone devils, and horned devils (on one side) as well as (the greater multitude) Hezrou's, Babau, Bebliths, Nalfeshnees, and the occasional Marilith.

Spoiler, fun fact: I wrote Tracy's combat instinct flowcharts based in part off of shark biology (that's part of the reason why she didn't go berserk on the golems, since they don't have blood)

References mostly. The party is free to wage against or defer as is their individual proclivity. Thez and Lenos are tirelessly making short work of all comers at the quarantine gate, eliminating any immediate threat to either the party or the citizens. Trump's whistle will have consequenes, and to that end some blue streaks come up from outlying areas toward the party. They're not there yet, but they're closing fast, along with some darker shapes that done exude magic like the streaks do.
>>9936
Don't hold back now, I designed this situation so that among other things, Tracy can let go. I gather she's been aching to do so,....

Yes, that is all that matters. Bonus exp for insight. Also, TY
Tracy is much bigger now than normally is, and though she may nor realize it her mane, tail, and hooves are fully aflame. This latest 'situation' seems to have fully cemented many of the changes occurring within her. She still has no means of controlling it, but for the time being she's a full Cauchemar, with all the requisite abilities and modifiers.

*rubs against you feverishly, as she waits for the signal to cut loose*
>>9944
I thought to set her as a Wilder hybrid so that she could learn to concentrate her emotions into power instead of just throwing herself all over the place. She could use something to focus her passion on though.
>>9945
I'm actually a huge mythology nut. I'd figured that Tracy's frenzied state, even canonically, was similar to the dreadful mares of Diomedes: crazed, bloodthirsty, starved for battle, and performing feats of unnatural strength, speed and vigor (similarly, like the mares, she's sometimes, depending on which artist draws her, shown as rather skinny, with sharp teeth, or in this case spouting licks of white-hot fire). As for character flowcharts: there will be no blueballing her when she's like this, after being pent up for so long. I asked for a nightmare state for her because the Nightmares of DnD are so similar to the Mares of Diomedes.
Like the Dreadful Mares she could be potentially be quelled and tamed as an uncannily superior warhorse, but only by a hero that rivaled Hercules.

So Trump w/ Fae, Infernius w/ Uatchit, Torcuil (Troll is in the Tower), and Tracy (full rage) are situated along the wall. The massed armies are aware of their presence, and are either making their way there or are attacking wherever they can with the hopes of engaging the party. Alex is welcome to join in, or he can watch from the tower (the displays on the dais show whats going on on all fronts).
>>9946
And I knew from that pic I reposted earlier that this was an inevitable evolution of her character. After this is resolved, you'll be more free to develop her per your inspiration, which is what I intended all along. ^_^

Are there any simple weapons or body parts That Tracy could salvage from the battlefield (I'd love to make a weapon out of those chain devils later), like a sword?
>>9948
>recognoze
Well, she hasn't caught fire yet, so she wouldn't look that different from the energetic blue lawnmower she was in the first thread when she was fighting the zombies, only larger.
The key difference is that this time, to to weeks of Concentration training, she seems earily more focused than she was that day..

There has to be a Taunting feat he could use for that. I imagine his Charisma stat is pretty high.

Taunt is a Bard ability, which Trump is not proficient with (can make rudimentary attempts, but the whistle was far more effective)

Don't worry, this is all just establishing where/what the party is at/doing when shit kicks off later this evening. Funny, this was supposed to be the kickoff of the newly formed Denver Broncos which Trump painstakingly arranged wrt to the teams, the stadium, Football, his Generals, Football, and the development of Football.

Also, how big is a Cauchemar Nightmare anyway? All the descriptions i find say that it's in the Huge size class, but they also say "about the size of a light war hoers" (large): is that only a question of hit dice? I'm trying to figure out her height and weight at full size (it's yet another factor in my flowcharts to determine opportunistic actions, confidence.. etc)

Subtext - in chess, one's opponent always has an equal and opposite move to make in response to the principle's move. Never forget that for however many gains have been realized, the opposition is still in the game until they are utterly destroyed.

>clydesdale-sized
>The conformation of the Clydesdale has changed greatly throughout its history. In the 1920s and 1930s, it was a compact horse smaller than the Shire, Percheron, and Belgian. Beginning in the 1940s, breeding animals were selected to produce taller horses that looked more impressive in parades and shows. Today, the Clydesdale stands 16 to 18 hands (64 to 72 inches, 163 to 183 cm) high and weighs 1,800 to 2,000 pounds (820 to 910 kg).
Fug! That's bigger than I thought. (I'm guessing this is Heavy War Hoers sized).

Sure you are(n't).
Clydesdale size is what she is when fully Nightmare. She isn't at the moment, per request, (though she's showing evidence of with the smoke and all). Don't worry, you still have Genocide mode, just not yet/atm.
The battlefield will depend on the area the players occupy, though I'm hoping that except for the stadium players can keep it within the recent map.

When I say, Not Tracy, it's because I want to make it absolutely clear that those thoughts are mine, and are unrelated to hers.

Yes, there are observable groups of devils AND demons operating in the periphery. As said, all will be explained, but for the time being I have an endless assortment of baddies to throw at the party.
