I think we're about to learn Pisca was feigning unconsciousness, just waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Now that the Derro has so helpfully placed herself within arm's reach and the other enemies are distracted, he's going to Bloodrage and Haste himself, then initiate a grapple or just pick her up and start smashing her into the ground like he's hammering a nail.

[X] Choke on ash, Demon Bitch, Part 2 -[X] Cob expends one Mythic power to use Surprise Strike to make a Piranha Strike Sneak Attack against Elywa as a Swift Action, continuing to inflict the Hampered movement condition.

If they are not adjacent, he instead uses the opportunity to Power Attack it himself. ---[X] If it doesn't attack them, he instead expends one Mythic power to Power Attack it with Fleet Charge. --[X] Sudden Block: Add +1 to the AC of whoever is being attacked and force the Ghonatine to roll twice and take the lower result on its attack.

Pendant of the Third Scroll Description: Forged of humble tin this amulet bears the mark of Iori, usually found in the possession of those who take up the path of the wandering sage in his image. According to Triss it's hollow, containing prayer scrolls written in an impossibly fine hand, though she has never tried to take them out. Ability:AgileAmulet of Mighty Fists +1
Cob keeps on stabbing even as you desperately call on the words to summon chains out of shadow to keep the mad one off Sir Pisca, blood gushes, the thing catcher pulls tight and the chain pulls down as the reptilian beast charges the Taldan Champion, the reek overpowering like Lamashtu's own cauldron of filth. The mad one loses her balance and tumbles to the floor, unshaken, but briefly stunned into something cloer to strategic thought by the embrace of cold stone.
"The Mother will punish you runt!" she screams in a voice not wholly her own and for a moment Cob hesitates, his blade still slick with drow- blood, but then he screeches back:
"Heroes kill and heroes chop! Cut the foe-man into slop!"
Your head swims with the reek as Gorok parried first one swing of the fetid claws than another, metal sparking of spurs of bone. Lhamastu had killed gods, she had killed Curchanus. Shrieks of pain like you had never heard before in your life fill your ears, griffons you know without knowing how and you know they are dying or worse, and yet you do not die. Blood oozes under your armor where the blast of bruise-purple magic had struck you, but you still live to watch the priestess' eyes, all three of them widen in surprise and horror as the earth begins to shake.
"No! You'll bury us alive!" Bjorn looks up at Sirim with eyes that seems to bulge out of his face. He pays no mind to the bolt now poking out of his shoulder, the only one to land. But his warning is already much too late, even as He and Gorok hew though the beast with viper swiftness and impossible strength tearing it limb from limb as the earth fractures under the feet of the servants of the demon queen as though the Pit itself was welcoming them home.
Elywa takes 32 Damage -> Now at 52/130
Derro Acolyte is knocked prone but not Shaken Akorian is Nauseated
Elywa Casts Reached Slay Living (DC 20) -> Akorian Fortitude: 1d20+8 = 20 (Success)
Akorian takes 22 Damage -> Now at 43/65 Every single bolt fails to hit... barring one that does not get though the DR Bjorn Attack... 56 (Crit)... 42 (Confirm)... 142 Damage
Gorok also hits three times... 98 Damage Total
Ghonhatine Two Dead
Sirim is no half trained wizard fumbling his chants though nor shaman of the deep wilds drawing too deep of the fickle powers, but a master of magic even in defeat, even in the hands of fiends, little wonder what he can be in the hour of his triumph. Two of the drow collapse outright against the stone, lines of blood dribbling alongside profane pictographs... as the spider takes advantage oft he crack in the earth to flee seemingly against the will of its mistress.
"After them!" you shout... or try to at least, the reek of the dead monster still in your lungs.
Mina instead rushes over to Sir Pisca to heal him, but the princess isn't going to let the enemy escape unchastized. The sword in her hand glows like a brand of fire pulled from the stars even as the blood of the last derro sizzles off it and starlight-bright the crown upon her brow.

What do you do?

OOC: So yeah, poor Kori almost went to see the Azlanti gods a moment there, but he made his save so now he is the only one wounded as Bjorn continues to blend all in his path.
