"I'll take care of that bitch" tells Malehan as he disengage of the Eladrin and then give a solid blow to Sloane.
"And that's just the beginning."
Vex began to smile a hungry, feral grin as she twirled her greatsword lightly in her hands. "
Shall we dance, then?," she cooed mockingly to the foes surrounding her- then she snarled to her companions "
Hit them hard- put them down fast!" Even as she spoke, she began to move, and her heavy blade began to rip through air- and flesh.
Seeing the others reek havoc on Sloan, Knoepf moves to do so as well. Moving to the south to get a clear view of Sloan and to get away from the foe who just hit him, Knoepf finds a spot.
Sloan! I should have known! Only you would run to Ladoran for protection. I'm afraid that you fortune and evil reign of terror will soon come to end, along with you so called ally. Looking upward... Oh Lady of the Silver Flame, praise this day and bless us. Give us the strength and power to eradicate this tandum of foul evilness. Knoepf then looks at Sloan with a look of pure hatred unleashes a bolt of silver flame against her. BE GONE YOU LIFELESS WENCH!
As he moves away, the Eladrin on him takes advantage of Knoepf's lowering of his guard and stabs him in the shoulder hard.
Acre steps a bit closer to Sloane, touching Garrick on the shoulder as he does so. Garrick feels a blast of pure confidence rush through him as the half-elf lifts his mind into a higher state. "
Stay close to me and this won't last long!" Acre shouts. He thrusts his spear with incredible force at Sloan, slicing into the unnatural being. Acre's nearby allies feel power rush through them.
Grimancing at the pain on his shoulder, Garrick's pain slowly starts to turn into adrenaline as he realizes just how dire their situation is.
A damsel in distress, a crazy mage and a rotten undead. No words are needed. Time to put you both down to rest, permanently!
As the group watches in horror, a transformation overcomes Ladoran. His face and body elongate, wings start sprouting from his body, dark blue scales start covering him and a massive tail pushes out. He leaps and glides over to the group, startling them with his very presence.
"You are mine little fleshlings!" the dragon roars, shaking the very core of the team.
The dragon then concentrates its attacks on Malehan, goring him in the chest with the horn on his head, lightning spraying out of it, and slashing him across the face with his massive claw. Fortunately, the second claw misses.
Although most of them are seriously damaged, the Eladrin rally under the Dragon's onslaught, stand up and attack. One hits Knoepf and one hits Vex with glancing blows, but the rest miss.
"A bitch am I? Well, that might be true." Sloane says as she kisses Malehan and drains the very life out of him. His withered body falls to the floor.
"Delicious." she smiles as most of her previous wounds heal up in front of the rest of the group's eyes. She then flies ten feet above the battle, out of most everyone's reach and partially fades from existance.

I could not find a way for any of the PCs to avoid the Stunned condition on their character sheets. So, the PCs do not get to act in the next round. Malehan needs 2 death saving throws. The NPCs go again now in the next round. If someone has a way to stop Stunned for their PC, we'll retcon actions for that PC.

"This is pathetic. You thought you could challenge me? You have no comprehension of what I am capable of and you will go to your graves without knowing." the dragon says in a slightly more moderated tone before breathing Lightning that skewers Vex, bounces off him and fries Acre, but then bounces and just grazes Knoepf.
The Eladrin continue to attack, hitting Knoepf once, Vex hard twice, and Garrick as well, but Acre's magic takes the sting out of the attack on Garrick.
"Poor Knoepfy. You won't get to save your friends this time I'm afraid." Sloane pouts, and then she laughs maniacally as her arms abnormally stretch from where she is flying so high up in the air and her claws slash across Knoepf's face sharply. And she again partially fades from existance.

Note: This might soon become a TPK due to the Dragon getting lucky and stunning everyone. The players might want to consider sending private messages to each other and come up with the best tactics possible before posting individual actions. Up to you, but please do not discuss the OOC tactics in this thread. Please do it offline. A single mistake at this point will probably ensure a TPK. It might happen anyway, but you do have the opportunity to at least try your best here and I would suggest doing so.

You can only protect against either one of the Eladrin's attacks (not E2's against Garrick) or Sloane's attack after everyone was no longer stunned.
Note: Malehan now needs to make a second death saving throw unless he rolled a natural 20 on the first one and he needs a saving throw against the -2 to hit.

The two walls to either side of the entrance way go up 15 feet, so someone could climb either the wall or the portcullis and still get out.
The "stairs up" in the corners, at the statue in the middle, and at the far end are difficult terrain. Everything else is normal terrain. The pillar squares holding up the ceiling are a squeeze, but creatures can diagonally move past them with no difficult.
Note: there is a set of double doors at the south central part of the map which might be not easy to notice right away.
