The party makes haste toward the entry chamber. Once you arrive, you see a horrid sight.

The elevator, still sitting at the bottom of the shaft, has been completely destroyed. Standing near the strange black pool, you see the thing that likely did the work.

The creature is a bizarre amalgamation of the three deities it embodies. It is a ten-foot tall, powerfully built monster with six arms. It has smooth, dull gray skin and bulging muscles that pulse with arcane power. Three of its arms, two on its left and one on its right, are missing hands. It has a gaunt, skeletal face and massive fangs. It growls like a beast in battle or a savage animal.

The creature reacts more quickly than the party, almost as if it knew you were coming. For a moment, its faces seems to temporarily morph into that of an older human. That new face calls to Hextor, and a spiritual weapon, Hextor's flail, appears near Kushnak. The weapon swings, but fails to make contact.

"Slow and steady on this one, boys." Kushnak marches forward, attempting to gain position.

[sblock=ooc]Move around the broken elevator platform, to the base of the stairway. I think that's 55'.[/sblock]
 

Eskard visibly perks up with the appearance of the spiritual weapon.

Growling, he moves into the room. He eyes the strange being with a previously unseen caution and is quite noticeably quivering with anticipation.

[sblock=oc]Move to 35' north (being directly 'up') of 1. Dodge against 1. [/sblock]
 

Bazrim reaches into his pocket and grabs a small pearl and begins to concentrate. "Eskard, it will be time for that spell again."
[sblock=ooc]use pearl of power to regain enlarge person[/sblock]

Eskard cautiously moves forward while Bazrim recalls his spell.

Nethezar moves to get a clear shot and casts a spell. Unfortunately, the creature seems to shrug it off. "I wonder if this thing is their 'Overgod'?" the cleric asks with far more intellectual curiosity than is appropriate in the situation.

Kushnak moves to skirt around the thing.

Quickly glancing at both half-orcs, the creature opts to rush at Eskard. The foul thing tries to bite the warrior, but Eskard barely avoids it. The flail of Hextor continues after Kushnak, and this time connects for a minor wound.

[sblock=OOC]Eskard: moves; dodge v 1
Bazrim: gets pearl; uses pearl
Nethezar: moves; casts doom on 1, caster level check 1+, fail

"What is this!?" shouts the frustrated Kushnak as he repositions yet again.
[sblock=ooc]Kushnak moves to flank with Eskard, unless eskard is dead or something.[/sblock]

Bazrim moves out of the hallway and keeps his focus on Eskard as he begins to cast his spell.
