Radoon creeps up the stairs an onto the roof. At the top he finds the Lich resplendent in silken robes standing before a podium across an even larger pentagram than the one in the lab downstairs. He holds a wickedly sharp dagger in one hand and an ornate staff in the other. The fiery Mephit from the fireplace is at his elbow.
Exiting the pentagram toward you is a pair of odd looking creatures with the lower body of a muscular horse and the torso, arms, and head of a sickly human. Its flesh is pale and festers with sores. Heavy horns protrude from its brow, and it wears an intricate suit of full plate armor. Patches of bristly hair protrude from chinks in its armor.
[sblock=Knowledge religion or the planes 25+]The strange creatures are Armanites. Armanites are demonic heavy cavalry, charging with uncontained bloodlust and fury into the ranks of their foes. As demons they are immune to poison and electricity and resistant to cold, fire and acid.[/sblock]
While the Lich doesn't seem to see Radoon the others obviously do.
OOC: Initiative and Actions?

OOC: This would be a great time for Gnurl to use his Runestaff of the Undead Slayer! Unfortunately, I can't find the spell Undeath to Death so I don't know what level of spell he has to expend to cast it from the Runestaff! I'd appreciate it, Scotley, if you could tell me what level each of the spells are that the Runestaff can cast!
I think I remember that Undeath to Death is too powerful for Gnurl to cast, so he will sacrifice a third level spell to cast Searing Light at the lich. Ranged touch attack for 10d6 damage unless the creature is especially vulnerable to light, in which case is is 10d8 damage. I'll roll both damages and the DM can choose the appropriate one, ok?
RET-CON: The Runestaff does not have Searing Light after all, so I'll use the 3rd level Halt Undead instead.

H'Roosh breathes a deep sigh as knowledge that their quest is almost over sinks in. He centers himself for the coming fight, weighing his options carefully.

Geoffrey will quickly utter a protection from evil spell so as to afford the party a little bit of additional help.

OOC: Sure, note that this item has errata to take out the cleric spells since it is an arcane item. You can let the Searing Light stand since you've already rolled it.

[Revision]
Substitute deathward with 4th level forceward
(SC 98), disrupting weapon with 6th level
incorporeal nova (SC 121), and
searing light with 3rd level halt undead.
Undeath to death is 6th level Undeath to Death :: d20srd.org
Detect Undead is 1st level Detect Undead :: d20srd.org
Halt Undead is 3rd Level Halt Undead :: d20srd.org
