Lylamwyn groans slightly as Lareth escapes again, but quickly turns his attention elsewhere, after making a mental note to learn how to prevent that.

He decides to take a chance and casts Scorching Ray at the cultist on the platform, hoping she doesn't have fire resistance.

OOC: Two rays, 40 ft range, +5 ranged touch. If the cultist is too far away even after a move action, use Fireball instead.
 

Craven and Raner are in melee with the Salamander guarding the prisoners, with Belaver, Kerwyn, Toriah, Neshi, and the Summoned Brown Bear about to join the melee this round. Lylamwyn and Torn are casting spells at the Cultist at the floating altar. Six Fiery Skeletons are marching around the pit, ignoring the party members disguised by illusions as cultists.

The black altar gradually becomes translucent, the outer edges becoming an amethyst color while the black color coalesces in the center of the altar.

Torn

Torn curses at her ineffective attacks. Seeing the Salamander is well taken care of, she sheathes her sword, and prepares her crossbow. She will shoot at the woman next round. +8 1d8
 


Belaver, Craven, Kerwyn, Toriah, Neshi, Raner, and one of Lenya's Stony Hands are in melee with the Salamander guarding the prisoners. Lylamwyn and Torn are casting spells at the Cultist at the floating altar. The summoned Brown Bear is in melee with six Fiery Skeletons.

The black altar has become a transparent heliotrope in color, the black mass at the center is growing larger and shows swolen veins of purple, and a glowing fiery red-orange eye swims into view from the altar's writhing center.

A wave of evil power washes across all that are present as the Evil Elder Elemental Eye gazes upon them. (DC20 will save: Lenya 11+10=21 pass, Lylamwyn 20+7=27 pass, Belaver 18+12-2=28 pass, Neshi 14+4=18 fail -2 con damage, Kerwyn 1+ fail -1 wisdom permanent drain, Raner 10+6-4-2=10 fail -5 con damage, Torn 11+13=24 pass, Craven 19+7-2=24 pass, Toriah 16+5-2=19 fail -8 str damage, Female Cultist 7+13=20 pass, Salamander 14+12=26 pass, Festalon Girrot 13+10=23 pass, Olive 11+3=14 fail -3 str damage, Female Prisoner 8+5=13 fail 1 negative level, Lantern Archon 2+ fail goes insane, Bear 2+ fails -2 con damage)

A black and purple tentacle is reaching out of the amorphous center of the altar, passing out of the altar itself, and is grasping hold of the screaming victim chained to the altar, Torn's old adventuring companion Jurrikath Musselto.

Round 4 (Party: Bless, Prayer)
19: Kerwyn (cursed, Haste, Bulls Strength, Shield, -1 wisdom drain) attempts to stab the Salamander, but misses (8+10+2 str +3 spells +2 flanking =25 vs. ac 28, 5+)
18: Torn's Summoned Lantern Archon (Insane) sends light rays ineffectively into the room in the direction of the Evil Elder Elemental Eye
18: Torn (Magic Circle Against Evil , Haste, Shield of Faith) loads and fires her crossbow at the cultist, but misses (1+)
18: Torn’s Sword of Heironeous attacks the cultist on the platform (12+13 hit, 5+13 miss, 14+8=22 miss; dmg 6)
18: Six Burning Skeletons attack the summoned Brown Bear and kill it (7+ miss, 20+/19+ confirms critical hit, 10+ miss, 2+ miss, 17+ hit, 20+/16+ confirms critical hit, dmg 39)
17: Salamander(-45, Bulls Strength, Corrupt Weapon) grapples with Belaver, but Belaver is too strong and powerful to be overcome (7+19 vs. 12+19 fails, 4+14 vs. 16+19 fails, 19+14 vs. 15+19 fails)
15: Female Cultist (-24, Spell Resistance 21, Heroism, Owl's Wisdom) laughs insanely as she shouts, "You summoned a Archon! You are not rivals from another temple!" She casts Unholy Blight onto the melee around the Salamander (DC21 will Craven 3+ fails, Toriah 1+ fails, Belaver 14+ pass, Neshi 6+ fails, Kerwyn 10+7-2=15 fails, Raner 19+8-6=21 pass, Stony Grasp 3+ fails, dmg 12 to Craven & Neshi, dmg 6 to Toriah, Belaver, Kerwyn, Raner, and the Stony Grasp, Craven is sick for two rounds, Neshi is sick for one round)
11: Lenya (Shield, Haste) pulls the divine scroll of Protection from Energy(Fire) out of her Haversack while moving close to the melee and casts the spell upon Belaver (granting him protection 60 from fire, use magic deviceDC 25: 16+14=30 success)
11: Stony Grasp (-6) attempts to join the grapple against the Salamander, but is not strong enough to hold the Salamander (19+ touch attack, grapple attempt 4+12=13 vs. 14+19=33)
11: Toriah(-6, -8 str damage, Protection from Evil) stabs the Salamander, but misses (17+ 6+3+2-4=24 vs ac 28 miss, 3+ miss)

Lenya

Lenya tries to remember where the divine scroll of protection from fire is, and if she can get ahold of it, she will do so.

On the next round, she will cast the spell on Belaver to protect him from the fiery body of the salamander.
 


*Ah, she guessed it. Oh well...*, Lylamwyn thinks as he casts Evard's Black Tentacles at the cultist near the altar (hoping to catch the eye-thing too).

OOC: Grapple Check still +15. No Spell Resistance. Does Lylamwyn have any idea if the Elemental Eye is dispellable? We should see whether it's grappable soon, but...

Lylamwyn tries to stay away from the flaming skeletons.
 

Belaver, Craven, Kerwyn, Toriah, Neshi, Raner, and one of Lenya's Stony Hands are in melee with the Salamander guarding the prisoners. Torn is firing her crossbow and Lylamwyn is casting spells at the Cultist at the tentacle covered, floating altar. The six Fiery Skeletons are marching around the fire pit.

Lylamwyn thinks the Evil Eye is a summoning of some sort, although he is uncertain whether it can be dispelled.

The Altar tentacle breaks free from the Evard’s Tentacle and pulls the screaming Jurrikath into the altar (grapple check 7+29 vs. 17+15 breaks free, 13+24 vs. 14+15 drags the sacrificial victim into the altar). After the screaming Jurrikath is pulled inside the altar, the altar tentacle disappears and the altar resumes its normal black stone color. The orange-red eye transforms into a large egg that rests upon the altar (no longer radiating waves of evil). There is a flicker of color upon the altar, almost as if something else, too small to see what, appeared upon the altar.

The altar begins to float upward towards the 70 foot high ceiling at a rate of several feet per second.

Feelings of doom assail Raner as he realizes that the potion of flying in his belt might be the only way to reach the floating altar.

15: Female Cultist (-30, Spell Resistance 21, Heroism, Owl's Wisdom) screams as she shouts, "Noooo! Don’t take me! Feed on them!"
