The orc grabbed the binder and they charged into the melee as Xhagevoxhab pulled itself out of the gate. Both attacked, but the orc was only doing mild damage after the DR was taken into account and the binder wasn't penetrating at all. Meanwhile the priestess started reading out the ritual to reseal the gates. The drow & githyanki pulled out a bunch of summons, surrounding it with huge sharks and water elementals. This at least meant they were soaking up most of the tentacle attacks, but the scarlet lord still managed to one-shot the drow in the third round. Meanwhile the sniper once again snuck invisibly round the edges of the room, teleported away with part of the chains to spoil the binding ritual (for reasons related to his character's true allegiance) then teleported back again. He then told them that the ritual would be useless against it, but lied about the reason why. (rolling excellently on his bluff check so even though the other players knew something was up, their characters did not. Several more rounds passed in which the PC's hit it with everything they had, but most of their spells fizzled against its spell resistance, apart from one to reduce Xhagevoxhab's dexterity, which did at least make it even easier to plink away at. But the summoned minions were losing HP far faster than it and it was becoming obvious that once they were gone, the group would have a very bad time of things. So the orc scooted back through the tunnel to the rest of the group, carrying the binder and the body of the fallen drow along the way. Once everyone was within touch range, the githyanki activated his Plane Shift power, saving everyone except the cowering Plugoo who had run away from the group. (and will be converted next time they see him) Now they're in a random location on the astral plane, and need to heal up, get their bearings, get back to familiar terrain and figure out how to fight the scarlet lord from a more advantageous position. In the meantime, I can set another important plot thread in motion. Muahahaha.</p></blockquote><p></p>
