Before the group could act, Wulan Cheng used up the efreeti's second wish to restore her & her partner to full health. Realising there was only one wish left and that might be an even more troublesome one, they had to think fast. The githyanki polymorphed himself into a yak-man while out of sight, went into the balcony room and wished to undo the previous wish. (which he immediately regretted, thinking up much cleverer ways he could have used it in hindsight) Despite me putting a pretty hefty penalty on the bluff check, he still beat the efreets sense motive and so they had one less thing to worry about. The rest of the session was a relatively straightforward one for the guys up top as they dealt with waves of attackers, the yak-men, jann & zombies coming up the stairs, while the Gauth simply floated straight up from the library through the balcony. The efreeti was tough enough to last a couple of rounds more, but the beholders were easily dispatched with the help of a little glitterdust, and so most of the group moved downstairs to fight the enemies in the third floor library. The Jann managed to do a little damage by staying airbourne and peppering the group with arrows from above the bookshelves, but the yak-men and zombies proved very ineffectual. Still, there were a lot of enemies, so the battle was still ongoing when we ran out of time. (although the later rounds were going noticeably faster than the early ones as the number of enemies to keep track of went down) Meanwhile, downstairs, our little winged kobold had a rather tougher time, reminding us once again that splitting the party is a bad idea. Wandering through the entrance hall, he was in just the right position to be caught when the Brass Golem came to life and cast Maze on him. It then followed him into the maze and got a couple of rounds of attacks in on him, reducing him to low HP before he got his bearings and skittered away at high speed. This gave him the time to make some more intelligence checks and get out just before the end of the session, where he found that the ogre mage guards had set up where he vanished with readied actions. Even closer to death, he used all his speed boosting powers, tumbled past them and dashed back up the stairs towards the others with the ogre mages & golem in hot pursuit, bumping into the fleeing monks along the way. With less than half of the enemies remaining, it looks pretty likely this fight will finish next session and then they'll get to uncover a little more of the dark secrets this mountain holds.</blockquote>
