Hairy Minotaur

Rebrey saw the body fly out of the skull, and at first thought it was Empythacoreaus with the dark bat-like wings. Upon closer examination however he realized it was a female, and continued onward towards the front door of the structure. He reached the entrance way, and saw the bloody floor, still sticky. Then the explosion hit, thrusting his body into the doors. The blast blows Rebrey into the stone block that was keeping the doors from closing, and regenerating the doorman, Rebrey lands in-between the doors and they close trapping his legs.
Tharhack heard the blast, and felt the reverberations, he looked down and saw that Charekyal and Alriand still held onto the ladder. Tharhack continues his climb and poking his head over the top rung, catches he first glimpse of the demonic figure holding the head of the succubus in his hands, eyeing Tharhack. Charekyal pushes up past Tharhack burning his left side as she makes her way onto the floor, then realizes she should've waited. Alriand then follows, leaping out behind Charekyal.
Klithgor rises, and flares his scaly almost dragon like wings "I have what I came for, I will not waste my time with you. However I feel that not leaving you a present would be rude of me."
With that Klithgor drops the head of the succubus onto the floor. Tharhack makes his way off of the ladder, and casts bull's strength on himself. He then catches a glimpse of Empythacoreaus circling behind Klithgor and picking up airspeed, Tharhack knew he needed to stall the demon.
"Demon, you have yet to feel the fist of Kord. Would you like a personal demonstration?" Tharhack asked the demon, trying to sound impressive
Tharhack watched as Klithgor took two steps, but didn't even see the tail strike until it had already hit home.
"Ugh." The sound came from behind Tharhack
Tharhack watched as Alriand was drawn back by the black tail, Klithgor held her suspended in front of him impaled on the dark stinger.
"Mortals, such a waste of potential food." Klithgor announces before flinging Alriand out through the opening in the skull behind him.
Klithgor then takes to flight as Empythacoreaus slams into him from behind, sending Klithgor tumbling forward and landing at Tharhack's feet. Tharhack calls for his divine strength, and with glowing muscles, brings his greatsword down across the back of Klithgor slicing his right wing from his back. Charekyal then calls a flame forth from her hands, and sends a jet of fire into the head of Klithgor, singeing the hair on his head. Gothmog finally pops his head up the ladder, having to climb each rung one at a time.
Empythacoreaus sits up and sends a blast of pure good into the prone body of Klithgor, Klithgor screams in pain as vapor lifts off of his back.
Unwatched, the eyes of the succubus' head turn a shiny black, and it tilts back exposing it's dark mouth. A low groaning issues forth from it's maw, and crescendos to a deafening level. Klithgor pushes himself off of the floor and notices his wing lying beside him on the floor. Laughing Klithgor tries to bring his tail forth to strike Tharhack, only to find the clawed hands of Empythacoreaus wrapped around the end of it. Turning Klithgor meets face to face with the pit fiend again, only this time he catches a face full of the heavens as Empythacoreaus blasts Klithgor again. Blinded, Klithgor slashes out with his massive clawed hands, one of them hits Empythacoreaus, tearing flesh from his chest and draining him of precious life-force.
Charekyal molds the flame in her hand into the shape of a ball, and sends the ball rolling across the floor, and up the legs of Klithgor burning him along the way.
The groaning comes to a halt with a great ripping sound, and a dark form filled with hate rises from the head of the succubus, which has been ripped in half at the mouth. The semi-transparent form's eyes glow blacker than it's form.
Klithgor wrenches his tail free from Empythacoreaus' grasp, and retreats past the pit fiend, heading for the blasted out hole at the far end of the room. Empythacoreaus takes a swipe at Klithgor's head as he passes, tearing a chunk of skin from Klithgor's cheek.
The great wraith floats in midair, and utters the most vile words Tharhack has ever heard. The words pound against his soul, but his is able to force them out of his head. Gothmog and Charekyal are not so lucky, Gothmog screams in agony and begins to rail his head against the stone floor above the ladder. Charekyal screeches and tries to claw her ears off of her head. Empythacoreaus looks unamused and blasts the great wraith with his beam of light, causing the great wraith to shake in pain.
Tharhack watches as Klithgor leaps out the opening and drop out of sight, he also glimpses a small wing growing back where he had lopped off the old one. Tharhack positions himself between the great wraith and Gothmog and Charekyal. Gothmog finally bangs his head into unconsciousness, and falls down the ladder, landing on the floor below breaking some of his newly repaired bones. Charekyal falls to the ground and pulls her knees to her chest, and has managed to tear one ear completely off and is working on the other one with both of her hands.
"We need to draw it out into the daylight." Empythacoreaus tells Tharhack
"How do we do that?" Tharhack asks
Empythacoreaus thinks for a moment, "Throw Charekyal down the stairs!"
"What?" Tharhack answers
"Eliminate her as a target, we'll have a better chance to maneuver this thing into the fading sunlight, if it only focuses on us." Empythacoreaus replies
Shrugging his shoulders, Tharhack grabs the burning women, and tosses her down the ladder, to land on the prone Gothmog.
