As Xukhezur passed through the vrocks, dove for the center of the courtyard that lay between him and the now destroyed gate. The demons surged to welcome him with whatever attacks they could muster, and a vast majority of the projectile weapons sent his way were swept up in the winds around him, although he had to hazard the magical attacks he might draw along the way. Indeed, those who occupied ground he flew over at a height of about fifty feet, were buffeted and knocked about as they came within range of those winds. Once Xukhezur had placed himself within a range to affect some of the more powerful demons, he began triggering his [url=http://dndtools.eu/spells/eberron-campaign-setting--12/metamagic-item--4929/]temporarily accelerated staff[/url] using the remaining [url=http://dndtools.eu/spells/eberron-campaign-setting--12/power-surge--4930/]temporary charges[/url].

The first triggering of his staff was used to produce an effect that whispered through the minds of up to thirty high profile targets spread throughout the main gate’s courtyard which lay about three hundred feet before him at that point, namely those demons that looked large and in charge and capable of withstanding or unleashing considerable punishment.
