Ouch. Those were not good rolls. Thankfully the opponent also rolled low, leading to this weird slapfight between our scouts and the door guards where I was expecting sudden annihilation of some sort.
Of course in this case "door guards" meant "superhumanly killy daemonettes + temptation magic" and "scouts" meant "elites + Lady Magister", but that's what you get when the stakes are this high.
Borek's comeback is great, of course, but I think he's right. The only possible solution to this that I can think of is having our Light Wizard Choir (Go Horstmann, we believe in you!) use the power this is drawing from to attempt to disrupt their magic - and at best that would just lead to a massive fight against who knows how many daemons, so let's not do that just yet. The many negative outcomes are even worse.
Why Egrimm? He's probably better than us at manipulating huge quantities of magic, what with his choirmaster experience and all. And even then he's not actually a full choirmaster, so we could probably find better for a follow-up expedition.
They're tough opponents, even against a Lady Magister with bullshit weapons.

IIRC Daemons actually are innately superhumanly skilled as well as superhumanly strong and fast.Well, probably not so much "skill" as "superhuman strength and toughness and natural weapons" is what their bonus represents.
