Arrow Volley [one-action] (magical, unholy) Frequency once per round; Effect The vordines fire projectiles, dealing 7d8 piercing damage to creatures in a 10-foot burst within 200 feet (DC 40 basic Reflex save).Aim [one-action] 80 feet, minimum distance 30 feetBesieging Fury A merztorlegon and their crew can Demoralize creatures at a range of 120 feet and don't take a penalty for not sharing a language with the target.Load [one-action] (manipulate) 1 timeLaunch [one-action] (attack, magical, manipulate, range increment 120 feet, unholy) 8d12 piercing, single target, DC 43 ReflexShoulder Ballista A shoulder ballista is an extension of the merztorlegon's body, functioning as a siege weapon that shares the demon's space, can't be targeted, and ceases to function after the merztorlegon's death. Either the merztorlegon or their siege crew can Aim or Load the ballista, but only the crew can Launch it.Siege Crew Several vordines inhabit the siege tower and are an extension of the merztorlegon, use the devil's skill modifiers, and can't be targeted individually. On the siege devil's turn, the crew can take 2 actions that can be used only to launch an Arrow Volley; Demoralize; or to Aim, Load, or Launch the devil's shoulder ballista. Once the merztorlegon is reduced to half their maximum Hit Points, the siege crew is injured and takes only 1 action per turn.Sunder Structures A merztorlegon's melee Strikes deal an additional 3d12 damage to items and structures.Troop Transport [one-action] (manipulate) The merztorlegon gathers a willing adjacent troop into their siege tower or shunts a stored troop into an adjacent space. The devil can store only one troop at a time, during which time the troop can't take actions, can't be targeted by effects, can be transported by the devil's translocate spell, and increases the damage dealt by Arrow Volley by 2d8. If the merztorlegon is defeated, any stored troop immediately reappears in or adjacent to the siege devil's space.
Climbing The Ladder
Vordines often consider merztorlegon siege tower duty an onerous assignment of boredom and cramped conditions. However, merztorlegons rank quite low in Hell’s hierarchy, despite their strength and cunning, and a charismatic vordine can bully their resentful siege devil into following orders and ceding credit for victories to the vordine, helping the smaller devil achieve promotions to a more prestigious post.
