T’aria open the pouch and gives a quick look inside, finding a number of different colored gemstones of varying value. She grabs half of the potions (six of them) as well as a few coins, and heads back for the dining room.
Meanwhile, Sunedilar, again hoping to distract the archon realizes that he’ll need to be on the other side of the foyer to give Aligor room to come in. He maneuvers around Gwyn and Lydia, passing close to Ezuvial, who takes little note of him. Getting to the side of Alicia, ‘Sunny’ again swings his chain towards Ezuvial’s face, as Aligor steps up to Ezuvial and swings his war axe, just barely getting a solid blow… that still fails to penetrate the archon’s skin.
[Ezuvial would have got an attack of opportunity on Sunedilar if he hadn’t used it already on Gwyn, or if he had Combat Reflexes. Sunedilar rolled 11+8-4=AC 15 on Aid Another. Aligor rolled 10+7+2+2=AC 21, just hit. Damage rolled 3+3=6, didn’t exceed DR.]
Lydia trades her mace for Accalon’s potion, steps back, and drinks it, feeling only a little better, while Alicia puts all of her might into one powerful sword thrust. The sword hits Ezuvial in the chest, where so many weapons have failed to penetrate. This time, however, the chest yields to the force of the blow, as the sword passes entirely through the archon’s heart.
Ezuvial looks completely stunned, unbelieving, as celestial blood gushes out all over the floor. He collapses as Alicia withdraws her sword from his body, the amount of blood lost assuring he doesn’t have long to live.
[Cure Light Wounds rolled 1+1, healed 2 points of damage. Alicia rolled 12+8+2(flank)=AC 22, hit. Damage rolled… geez… 18+13=31 (rolled maximum for 3D6) Drops below 0 HPs. He just fails a Fortitude check, and so is dying. Any damage to him now will kill him… and he may die on his own anyway.]
Algernon looks stunned as well, surprised that the creature fell. He starts to raise his dagger, to finish him off, but stops… apparently thinking someone else may want the honor.
[Characters by initiative, damage, condition:
Gwyn, HPs: 4/18

I only included the initiative list to show everyone how hurt they still are. The fight’s over, unless someone wants to give the poor archon a healing potion.
