A word to the players. Yes, I'm abridging the two remaining battles of session 53 into one. It'll save me type time. I dislike typing up the battles, as I never remember exactly what happened. I always get someone saying "HE'S not the one who killed that thing, I did it!" I'd like to help, but short term memory me can not soda hey what's on TV?

At the center of the outlying nexus, where many crystal spans came together, the structure contained its single irregularity- a 40-foot diameter circular span of opaque crystal with strange glyphs and insets inscribed on it.
Towering over the portal and the nearby creatures was a gargantuan, 70-foot diameter spiderlike creature with cleaverlike claws, floating with but a single treelike leg acting as mooring. A motley group of fiendish creatures also floated or stood near the portal. Near them floated a sledge heaped with hide bags and casks. Each creature wore a sheer blindfold and a strangely clicking bracelet, from under which blood and ichor slowly seeped.
The Knights rushed into battle, and the demons met the charge.
Dartan hacked into a great winged devil creature, and it bashed him in the head with its huge claw. Edge cartwheeled into the fight and began spin-kicking. Vek loosed a bolt of greenish fire, and it consumed a group of demons, charring them to ash.
The giant mechanical spider-thing floated overhead. Its head turned to the heroes and its four eyes lit up with different colors. One of the eyes shot a bright orange beam down, and it bathed Vek in heat and fire. Luckily, the lich had attuned himself with various energies, and could not be harmed by heat. This would aid them against the dragon… but Vek found use of it now. Without that protection, he would have burned very quickly…Lich flesh is dry and quick to ignite.
The spider blasted a light blue beam at Kizzlorn, who grunted and bore the chill of the cold ray that enveloped her. The energy protecting her only gave her so much resistance to cold. She kept calm as the frost formed in her hair.
Oaken raised his hands and a thick bolt of lightning flashed out and curled about the monstrous construct. The thing emitted a roaring squeal that sounded like dozens of gears grinding against each other.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Broldek and Edge were battling an enormous dire bear that seemed to be half-dragon. The thing had a frenzied strength and huge serrated claws that cut deeply every time they struck… which was often. Broldek was grasped by the bear and crushed in a furious bear hug, until Edge smashed the bear in the throat with a stab of his fingers. The creature roared and released Broldek, to focus on the tiny halfling.
Broldek ran free and shouted “Get clear!” He moved beneath the giant spider, which was about a hundred feet in the air. He closed his eyes and concentrated. “Up…” he said, “is DOWN!” He rocketed upward and folded his knees to his chest, wrapped his arms about his legs, and tucked his head down. He shot up and through the body of the spider creature with a smash. Pieces of metal showered all around as Broldek tried to orient himself, high above, and make himself fall down again.
The spider chittered, lurched, and died. It floated free of the crystal span and drifted away, one hundred fifty tons of metal scrap in the sky.
Edge the half-dragon halfling flipped above a swiping claw and kicked the half-dragon dire bear in the snout, snapping its neck. It fell to the ground. Edge landed and brushed his hands together. He was bleeding badly, but this was no time to show pain from one’s wounds… Mistress Kizzlorn might see.
Broldek crashed to the ground nearby. His legs were broken from the fall, but they would heal shortly. He looked up and smiled. “You killed it?”
Edge smiled back. “It’s not the size of the dragon in the fight. It’s the size of the fight in the dragon.”
The other creatures were all mopped up, too, as Dartan sadly noted. He wiped his sword and resheathed it. “How do we get inside?”
“I have a theory,” Vek said as he stepped toward the crystal mass. One of the graven shapes there was shaped vaguely like a disc… a medallion. Vek placed his piece of the Soul Totem in the circle, and the forty foot section of wall melted away to reveal an entry to the Bastion itself. “Here we are. I don’t see a dragon… not yet.”
They stepped into the Bastion. Here, faceted crystal surfaced glowed emerald, sapphire, and other hues of precious gems. Clear crystalline trees sprouted thickly from the floor, laden with brilliant points of white light. The sound of thousands of crystal leaves constantly chiming like bells filled the air. However, many of the crystals were smashed and darkened, and multicolored shards littered the floor. Three passages lay, one to the left and to the right. The one in the middle led straight into a brilliant wall of white light.
“What are these things on the trees?” Edge reached up to touch one of the glowing crystal teardrops hanging from the branches.
“Souls,” Vek said. Edge pulled his hand back.
