FlankerLANDdevilfiendunholymindless
These shapeless masses of quivering flesh are the least of devilkind. Pathetic creatures from Hell's first layer, orts roam alongside damned and suffering souls. Nessaris can combine the essence of a mob of orts to concentrate their collective wickedness within a single form, granting it an infernal sentience and transforming it into a more powerful devil (see the nessari's Shape Devils ability). Masters of corruption and architects of conquest, devils seek both to tempt mortal life to join in

Abilities
Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Subservience — Orts have little drive of their own, but other devils can take command of them. A non-ort devil can issue a command to all orts within 60 feet of it with a single action, which has the auditory and concentrate traits. The devil picks one of the following orders orts can understand, and the orts follow that order. The command and its effects end once the commander is out of the ort's sight, when a new command is issued by the same or another devil, or when the ort dies.
Kill The ort attacks one target the commander singles out and gains a +1 circumstance bonus to attack rolls against the target.
Defend The ort circles the commander and attacks any creature that comes near. It gains a +1 circumstance bonus to AC and saves.
Fetch The ort gains a +10–foot circumstance bonus to its Speed and attempts to get an object or person the commander singles out. It attacks anyone and anything that gets in the way.
Work The ort performs drudge work dictated by the commander.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable frontline presence screens for the fragile ort so it can keep pressing into melee under command.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker keeps damage flowing while the ort ties up melee space at minimal risk to itself.
MenderLANDA support presence sustaining the ort's commander keeps the subservient ort fighting longer than its own low durability would allow.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated targets✖ melee overextension
Avoid stacking with another disposable melee mook; the encounter's individual threat is already low and more mooks add little tactical depth.
