Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

Kerwyn does his best to not cheer the others on, reasoning that the longer they don't know which side of the switch he is on, the less chance there is that he's hit by a stray spell.

Canoness Y'Dey has arrived on the scene. Naquent is attempting to escape from the field of Evard's Black Tentacles conjured by Lylamwyn. Belaver has grappled the strange creature that Lylamwyn recognizes as a Mindflayer.

(the party is in room 32 on the side of the room away from the door)

Round 2 Initiative
25: Canoness Y'Dey moves out of the field of black tentacles and opens the door, calling out "I'll hold off the reinforcements while you free the rest"
22: Belaver claws and bites the grappled Mindflayer (1+20 vs. 20+7 fails, 14+20 vs. 4+7 success, 16+15 vs. 12+7 success, dmg 24)
20: Lenya blasts Naquent (10+ hits, dmg 17)
17: Lylamwyn
17: Evard's Black Tentacles grapple Naquent (6+17 vs. 9+7, dmg 5)
15: Kerwyn (invisible) clicks the lever, teleporting Torn into the room
7: Mindflayer (-38, grappled by Belaver) attempts to magically transport itself far away, but Belaver's claws disrupt it's mental concentration (Plane Shift, concentration check 2+13+4=19 fails)
1: Naquent (-32, grappled by Evard's) fails to escape Evard's Black Tentacles (16+7 vs. 9+17 fail, 17+2 vs. 6+17 fails)

Lenya

Lenya blasts Naquent with eldritch energy.

Naquent says, "Killed while trying to escape. I wish I had thought of that."

Round 3 Initiative
25: Canoness Y'Dey runs out the open door, out of room 32, through room 31, into room 33
22: Belaver bites and claws the tentacled abberation into pieces (1+20 vs. 5+7, 13+15 vs. 12+7 success, 19+15 vs. 7+7 sucess, dmg 39)
20: Lenya blasts Naquent with an Eldritch Blast (19+ hit, dmg 17)
17: Lylamwyn
17: Evard's Black Tentacles grapple Naquent (6+17 vs. 9+11, dmg 6)
15: Kerwyn (invisible) clicks the lever, teleporting Raner into the room
10: Torn's ray of Searing Light burns through Naquent's chest, slaying her (9+7=16 hit, dmg 24)

Torn doesn't really know what's going on, but knows who's side she's on. She raises her left hand, and out flashes a beam of lethal sunlight.

OOC: Cast searing light at Naquant.

She's got two searing light spells prepared, and will cast the other one next round at the most open opponent.

Belaver, Kerwyn, Lenya, Lylamwyn, Raner, and Torn are free (in room 32). Naquent and the Mindflayer are dead. Canoness Y'Dey is out of sight (in room 33).

Belaver double moves out of the room with the lever and the teleportation circles through the doorway into a sitting room with a large reddish-purple carpet covering the floor. Couches, chairs, and small tables furnish the sitting room with two iron chandaliers holding candles above the room, illuminating it. A door to the south, closed, leads out of the sitting room as well as the hallway to the west that the Canoness took.

Belaver follows the hallway to the west (entering room 33). Four Large Elementals stand at each end of this room. Canoness Y'Dey stands in the middle of the room, and she completes a conversation with the elementals by saying in Abyssal, "And Kill the Bear."

Round 4 Initiative
25: Canoness Y'Dey (in room 33) talking
25: Large Air Elemental (room 33) listening
25: Large Earth Elemental (room 33) listening
25: Large Water Elemental (room 33) listening
25: Large Fire Elemental (room 33) listening
22: Belaver (Brown Bear form) moves from room 32 through room 31 to room 33
20: Lenya moves into room 31 while detecting the presence of magic in the room she just left
17: Lylamwyn loots the Mindflayer's body
17: Evard's Black Tentacles continue to grapple Naquent's dead body
15: Kerwyn (invisible) clicks the lever, teleporting Craven into the room
10: Torn loots the Mindflayer's body
6: Raner follows Belaver into room 31

Belaver pursues that which currently appears to be the canoness. He's not at this point sure who's masquerading as whom, so he intends to non-lethally collect her so that those with better illusion-piercing tools can make that determination.

The spectral form of a man appears above Naquent's body. "She is dead ... dead ... dead. I am free ... free ... free." The waving black tentacles conjured by Lylamwyn pass right through the man's eerie body.

Round 5 Initiative

25: Canoness Y'Dey (in room 33) speaks to the elementals in Abyssal "What are you waiting for?"
25: Large Air Elemental (room 33) does not act
25: Large Earth Elemental (room 33) does not act
25: Large Water Elemental (room 33) does not act
25: Large Fire Elemental (room 33) does not act
22: Belaver (Brown Bear form) attacks Canoness Y'Dey (9+15=24 , 3+15=18, 9+10=19, 3 misses vs. ac 26), but misses her
20: Lenya moves into room 33 and detects the presence of magic
17: Lylamwyn dispels the black tentacles and approaches Naquent's body
17: Evard's Black Tentacles continue to grapple Naquent's dead body and they pass through the ghostly man that has appeared in their midst
15: Kerwyn (invisible) clicks the lever, teleports Toriah into the room
10: Torn approaches Naquent's body and talks to spirit
7: Craven moves from room 32 through 31 into 33
6: Raner arrives in room 33

Lenya

Lenya slowly follows Belaver, to see if she can be any help against the reinforcements, Canoness Y'Dey mentioned. On the way, she also begins to concentrate on her Detect Magic ability, looking around for clues.

"Woah... it actually worked..." Kerwyn sighs out as it seems that his spur of the moment escape plan actually worked. "The ladies can feel free to show their appreciation for me."
