Against the Storm Part II: Luskan

Ubaar grunts "So are they affected by magic against undead, or not?!"

Ubaar casts 2 Searing Lights if the reply is affirmative, but retreats defensively and casts 2 Cure Serious Wounds if negative (caster level 10).

Ubaar blasts the creature twice with light. The blasts burn deep holes in its flesh, but do not kill it.

The wounded demon turns and runs deeper into the compound, turning into a huge bat just after smashing through the door.

Meanwhile, an large ogre in gold plate armor steps out of the temple area and into the huge room that you are in. He is hunched down slightly, and behind and above each shoulder is a seat with a gnome strapped into it. There are many strange geared mechanism built onto the orge, as well as what appears to be several wands. The orge grabs Rana and Elone and begins dragging them backwards...

(At this next pause, I will do XP and prolly open up for a few replacements...I want this thing back on track)

As the Ogre strides backwards, one of the gnomes pulls out a wand attached to his seat and causes a black wall to appear where the door out of the room is. You find yourselves unable to damage it, and when, after a few minutes, it disappears, the Orge/gnomes, along with Elone and Rana, have disappeared.

You survey the tableau of destruction left behind: broken desks, books and papers strewn about, piled equiptment from dead vampires, a very dead orc, blood -- yours and your enemy's -- splattered all over. Among them you find numerous maps and bits of magical and mundane research information. This seems to be a place for analysing intellegence. The setup is, in fact, very much like Irusyl's home base in Skullport. You find documents bearing the seals of many regional governments and military agencies, as well as many bearing a black domino mask (oddly enough, you find several such masks lying around.)

Moving out the door to your left, you see living room of sorts with many couches and tables, which apparently connects to the other entereence where you were forced back. In here, you find all of the human who fled the battle burned and slashed to death. The demon is no where to be found. At the upper part of the room is a huge safe, with an Iron door so strong that even Ubaar cannot force it open alone. Another strong, but weaker, door, leads to a room with a pair of prison cells that seem to have not been used in a rather long time.

You know that it will not be long before mor epoeple come up there to reenforce the soldiers and trap you inside. Now What?

------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile.....

The first thing that Elone realizes is that someone is trying to make her reletively comfortable. She feels the soothing chill of a bag of ice on her forehead as she lays on her back on a comfortable cot under a warm blanket. Somewhat to her chagrin, she discovers that she is clean. Her body aches all over, but the pain is not as intense as she would have expected. In addition to the expected dizziness, she feels giddy and a bit numb. She assumes that she's drugged.

As her vision clears, she looks up to see a teenaged girl, with piercing blue eyes and long blond hair, who doesn't seem hurt but looks at Elone with uncoordinated, unfocused, eyes bending over her. "ELonNnEee? You OK? WaKe uP. ItS JaiNa. <giggles>" (Elone seems to recall Jaina as having black hair, btw, altohugh otherwise it seem like it could be her)
.
Looking around, she sees that she is in a long, stone-walled prison cell with three cots. No one is tied up. Rana is asleep in the far bunk, looking pretty beat up, but Elone doesn't remember why. The bars are definately too close together even for someone as thin as Elone to fit through. The hallway outside is tall, as soon Elone discovers why. A hideously-deformed 9 foot tall demonic creature with one human arm carrying a long chain and one gigantic arm than reaches almost to the ground walks by the cell, ignoring all of you...
