     You burst into the room to find a man clad in matte black armor wielding a greatsword as he cuts through some fiendish creature.  It bleeds crimson flames rather than blood as it dies but appears to have been one of several similar creatures.  They chitter and hiss in some fiendish tongue  as they descend from the rafters.  "Great, more of them."  Sighs the fighter as he swings his sword at the nearest of the still living creatures, trying to clip in in the leg, and manages to slice a good wound into the creature's leg and knocking it to the ground.  With a grunt he then sweeps the blade around his side and over his head to bring it down onto the creature, cutting it clean in half.

"Mister... are you friendly?" Melody called out as she moved into the room behind mister Riven, keeping her eyes on both the black-armored man, and the creatures. She had narrowed eyes though, for even as she asked if the man was friendly, the dark black armor certainly didn't look heroic or friendly at all.

1 Action: Recall Knowledge, religion, identify creature

     The creatures are Imps, some of the weaker devils of Hell but deadly in large numbers or against the ill prepared.  They have a myriad number of magical abilities and are more often known to employ subterfuge, cunning, and unwitting mortals in combat rather than brute force.

Guidance Reference

GUIDANCE
Traditions divine, occult, primal
Cast 1 action verbal
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 creature
Duration until the start of your next turn
You ask for divine guidance, granting the target a +1 status bonus to one attack roll, Perception check, saving throw, or skill check the target attempts before the duration ends. The target chooses which roll to use the bonus on before rolling. If the target uses the bonus, the spell ends. Either way, the target is then temporarily immune for 1 hour.

"How unpleasant." Spira muttered, striding quickly through the door. Dropping the torch she held in her left hand, she plucked a small purple vial from her bandolier then hurled it at the imp farthest away from the man in black armor.

     The imp ducks under Belsarus's blade with a snicker before striking back with its barbed tail. The stinger pierces the rogue's armor and the imp gives Belsarus a fiendish grin before promptly disappearing into a flash of smoke.

     The other imp lashes at Riven with their own stinger, landing a hit as well. Then, the imp beings to change, its arms, legs, and wings elongate and stretch as another set of pointed limbs grows from its torso. It's leathery hide turns to chitin and its eyes split into additional black orbs as the fiend becomes a giant spider.  In its new form, the devil lunges at Riven with its newfound fangs and sinks them into the half-orc's shoulder.
