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.Round 5 (Party: Bless, Prayer)19: Kerwyn (cursed, Haste, Bulls Strength, Shield, -1 wisdom drain) sneak attacks the Salamander (2+ miss, 5+ miss)18: Torn's summoned Lantern Archon (Insane) flies away at top speed18: Torn (Magic Circle Against Evil , Haste, Shield of Faith) 18: Torn’s Sword of Heironeous attacks the cultist on the platform (5+13 miss, 6+13 miss, 9+8=17 miss)18: Six Burning Skeletons march around the Fire Pit17: Salamander(-90, Bulls Strength, Corrupt Weapon) escapes Belaver’s pin and uses its coiled tail muscles to propel Belaver and himself over the edge into the Fire pit (8+19 vs. 12+19 fails, 20+14 vs. 4+19 successfully breaks pin, attempts to move over the edge into the 10’ deep pit with Belaver 12+14 vs. 3+19 success, falling damage 2 to Salamander and 1 to Belaver, fire damage 14 to Belaver)   15: Female Cultist (-30, Spell Resistance 21, Heroism, Owl's Wisdom) screams as she shouts, "Noooo!  Don’t take me!  Feed on them!"  She uses her Tentacle Rod in her struggle against the Evard’s Tentacles (grapple check 9+9 vs. 13+ 15, fails; 9+9 vs. 11+15 fails; 3+9 vs. 7+15 fails), but is unable to get free.  11: Lenya (Shield, Haste) summons another Stony Grasp and directs them to attack each other11: Stony Grasp (-6) grabs new Stony Grasp (16+ touch attack, grapple 12+12=24 vs. 2+12=14 successfully grappled, dmg 9- hardness 8=1)11: Stony Grasp (-1) grapples back, but does no damage (3+12=15 vs.4+12=16 failed)  11: Toriah(-6,-8 str damage, Protection from Evil) 10: Evard’s Tentacle squeezes the female cultist (19+15 vs. 15+9, dmg 10) and the Egg (dmg 10-hardness 5=5)10: Lylamwyn (Haste, Shield) 9: Belaver (-7, Brown Bear, Barkskin +3 ac, Haste, Fire Protection 34) grapples and claws the Salamander (grapple attempt 5+19=24 vs. 1+19=20 successfully pinning the Salamander to the floor of the firepit, 14+19=33 vs. 4+19=23 success, 2+19 vs. 7+19 fail, 7+14 vs. 18+19 fail, dmg 14 - DR 10=4, Belaver takes 6 from the intense Heat)9: Neshi (-12, -2 con damage, Barkskin +3 ac) barks and bites at the Stony Hand (19+ hit, dmg 10-hardness 8=2)6: Craven (-51, Haste, Bulls Strength, sick for 1 round)  4: Raner (-6, -5 con damage, cursed: -4 to attack rolls, saves, ability checks, Haste)</blockquote>
