a little to concerned about destroying us and not at all concerned with the fact that he is playing with some what intelligent players...Here is breakdown of our party:Jardeth - Human MonkKillandel - Elven Cleric/RangerBracken - Half Elf Rogue/Ranger/Horizon WalkerHumphrey - Human Wizard/Rogue/Arcane TricksterSam - The Astral DevaSo, we just killed the dragon and cut its heart out and we were about to start looting the treasure.  Our party was in pretty good shape, nothing a few cure spells could not take care of.  Jardeth was polymorphed into a treant and Killandel was 9'8", due to a Righteous Might spell.  We did not want to dip the stone into the dragons’ blood, without doing some research first.Thanks WizarDru!So we were just beginning to loot the hoard, when all of a sudden who should appear...the big bad Balor and, oh, about 15 Vrocks...and 2 nasty half fiend offspring.  After we got over the initial shock of the DM bending us over after a hard fight that used most of our spells, we took the first few hit from the Vrocks and the Balor dispelled Jardeth to hell (he was normal again).  We then moved to Sam who very quickly cast his innate ability to plane shift and got us the hell out of there.  I could really tell that our DM was upset that we got away, bastard wanted us dead...We ended up back on Krynn (yeah), but only for a day.  We play where Krynn, Faerun, Greyhawk, etc are all on different planes that are accessible to the players.  I makes for some fun interaction with other PC's and NPC's.The next morning, Killandel cast Commune and found out that the destruction of the stones would definitely hurt the Balor, most importantly, his Spell Resistance.We also found out that the stone allows the Balor to scry on the individual who holds the stone as well as the individual on the Balor.  Bonus for us!  We prepared ourselves for the final show down, which we hoped would go like this:Buff up (Bulls Strength, Bear's Endurance), Resist Energy, Protection from Energy, Polymorph,  Cast obscure object (so the Balor could not detect us),  Plane Shift back, Scry on the Balor, enlarge ourselves, cast righteous might, destroy the stone, teleport in and kick his ass.Well, everything went as planned, almost.  We arrived back on the original plane to discover that the entire town that had hired us to protect them was destroyed.  Completely flattened and burned to the ground, no survivors.  Angry Balor=dead civilians...Well, we cast the spells, used scrying on the Balor, and prepared to destroy the stones.  So now, this is what we all looked like:Jardeth and Bracken – TreantsKillandel – Mind Flayer (w/ Righteous Might)Sam – Hill GiantHumphrey – EnlargedAll with:Bull’s Strength, Bear’s Endurance, Resist Energy, Protection from EnergyWe destroyed the stone and Teleported in.Know before I describe the fight, I have to say that there may be some discrepancies, but we worked with what the DM gave us, knowing that he probably would cheat (not really, he would just make it impossible), and utilized everything that we had at our disposal.The room:Balor in the center of the room, 2 half fiends flanking him about 20’ away, 15 Vrocks guarding the entrance about 60’ away and 20 Dretches holding the human slaves hostage about 30’ away.1st round – SurpriseJardeth – Grappled and wonKillandel – Joined grapple freely and won the check.  Attached 1 tentacle.Bracken – Attacked with his Rapier of Puncturing, hit, drained 4 CON.Sam – Cast Holy Word on the 20 Dretches that were off to side with their human slaves, killing all of themHumphrey – Readied an action to attack Balor when he casts a spell2nd roundHalf Fiend #1 – Started to cast a spell, Bracken and Humphrey smacked his ass with their AoO.  He lost the spell.Jardeth – Held grappleKillandel – Attached all 4 tentaclesHalf Fiend #2 – Same as #1, except Sam hit her.  She lost her spell.Sam – Waded into the Vrocks.Balor – Tried to cast Greater Teleport Humphrey – Hit Balor with readied action, causing 28 points of sneak attack and normal damage with his newly acquired cold iron dagger.Balor – Failed his Concentration check by 2Vrocks – Attacked SamBracken – Readied an action to attack Balor when he casts a spell3rd roundHalf Fiend #1 – Said “Screw you guys, I’m going home” and ran away.Jardeth – Held GrappleKillandel – Sucked the Balors' brain out!  Mmmmm…Half Fiend #2 – Attacked HumphreyBalor – Exploded into a 100 HP flash of lightMost saved for half, but either way, the Resist Energy and Protection from Energy saved those who failed (This was a question we had, it says flash of light, not fire…either way though, we still survived the damage).Sam – His task was complete, he left.  10 of the human slaves died, the other 10 had fled far enough away from the blast.Humphrey – Attacked Half Fiend #2Vrocks – LeftBracken – Attacked Half Fiend #24th roundHalf Fiend #1 – EscapedHalf Fiend #2 – SurrenderedSo, when then proceeded to loot the place, as well as the Half Fiend’s quarters.  Our less than LG characters killed the bitch afterwards…because she is bad and tried to kill us.We then cast plane shift and went home, because our employers were dead.I know that there are things that happened in the fight that may be wrong, that is were you all come in, if you want to.  It should have been a mess, but it went of without a problem (too easy).  Either way, damn it was fun!Feel free to comment on things you liked or did not like.Later.</blockquote>
