One cleric scourges a man’s back with long twigs. Another, with hood up and beardless, with a pleasant smile, shoos the devil down the stairs from a building. The devil is about 4 feet tall, red, and wiry. It has hold of the cleric’s robe at the level of his groin, and looks at him spitefully. The devil has horns on its kneecaps, and claws on its fingers. It has short, red, webbed wings.
