Erdolliel sneaks ahead. At the end of the long staircase, an odd chamber reveals itself. A number of tall bookcases, a desk, and a large tank full of green liquid takes up half the room. A stone door stands closed on the opposite wall. The staircase continues upward, curving to the right.

Erdolliel flies up the stairway and the others follow at a distance.
Just as Erdolliel reaches a set of double doors, Kushnak and Nethezar reach the room Erdolliel just left.
As they enter, one of the same alien-like creatures emerges from the top of the large tank of green liquid. This creature, however, is considerably larger than the previous three encountered. Since the liquid appears opaque, the creature must have either heard Kushnak and Nethezar, or been able to see through the liquid.
Though large, the creature still manages to get the drop on the group. It crawls across the floor toward Nethezar and lashes out with one long tentacle and tears into Nethezar's arm.
"Crap!" Nethezar spits. "I'm not looking at it!" The scholar steps back and fires his trusty wand at the creature. Five missiles of force unerringly slam into the large creature.

Erdolliel fires at the creature.[sblock=oc]I think she's within 30 feet already, but taking a 5' step south and down couldn't hurt Actually it could hurt as the hide check occurs with movement, so she'll just shoot. Shoot at O. 2 shots +11/+6 1d8+2 +4d6 for Sneak Attack if applicable. crits are x3 damage. She'll step 5' south and Down after the shot.[/sblock]

Kushnak stumbles briefly, alarmed by the sheer size of the creature, before regaining his composure.
Closing his eyes briefly, he whispers something to himself in preparation for a fight.
[sblock=oc]
Kushnak activates his freedom of movement domain power. supernatural ability, no AoO and that's it.

[sblock=oc]Despite Di's attempts he and I still weren't on board with the Hide interpretation. In the meantime I'm deferring to his interpretation (he is the DM afterall, that's his job to determine and mine to defer) and changing my action.[/sblock]Erdolliel joins the fray. [sblock=oc]Drop bow, avert gaze, and move while drawing her sword to such a place that she is flanking with Kushnak. +4 AC for mobility. Then attack O +10 (with height advantage) 1d8+3 +4d6 sneak attack.[/sblock]
Erdolliel, not looking directly at the creature, fires off two shots. The elf's aim is poor, and her arrows harmlessly fly past the creature.
Kushnak lowers slightly in the air to gain better position and activates the power of his deity.
The alien creature moves underneath Kushnak, closer to Nethezar. Apparently disturbed by the magic missiles, the creature lashes out at the scholar. Nethezar grunts as two huge claws crash into his flesh. Then the claws grip into Nethezar's arms. As the scholar screams out, the creature literally pulls Nethezar's body into two separate pieces. As Nethezar's blood sprays about the room, the creature unceremoniously drops the two halves to the floor.
[sblock=OOC]Erdolliel: steps S and down; averts gaze; shoots O, 4+ miss, 4+ miss
Kushnak: steps down; activates FoM
O: steps; full attacks N, 8+ hit, 13+ hit, 18 damage, 15 damage, rend for 24 damage... N dies

O (25): 16 damage
Nethezar (23): 71 damage; extremely dead

Kushnak (18): 6 damage; freedom of movement

"NOO!!" Erdolliel yells while rushing to injure the beast.[sblock=oc]Drop bow, move D&S, D&SE, S, S while drawing her sword. That should put her on the floor next to O. Ready to attack it when flanking with Kushnak. Dodge on O, +4 AC for mobility. Then attack O +11 (with flanking) 1d8+3 +4d6 sneak attack. Eyes averted.[/sblock]
