Syld backs off a little, making room for Osius so that the human can smash through the ice wall.
Osius takes the blue's position, and proceeds to smash into the wall with his morningstar.
Osius deals 10 points of damage to the Wall of Ice.
Chips and plates of ice come crashing off the wall, but it still stands firm.
Animus charges at Jirlai, thinking thoughts that only he can hear.
Animus gets a 10, which is a miss.
The puddle of blood near the goblin continues to get larger...
Niko moves over to put the pedestal between him and the githyanki, then pulls out a tonic and gulps it down.
Niko regains 5 hit points.
Jirlai begins to activate his staff, and Animus reaches out with his blade to stop the sorcerer...
Animus gets an 8, which is a miss.
A freezing wind emits from the staff, and hundreds of tiny shards of ice emit from it, heading for both Niko and Animus - who both attempt to dodge out of the way...
Niko gets an 8, which fails.
Animus gets a 4, which fails.
Both of them take 33 points of cold damage.
However, the githyanki is also caught in the blast.
Caster check - 23.
The githyanki gets a 24 on its Reflex save, which makes it. The cone of cold deals 17 points of damage to the githyanki.
The cone of cold passes, and the gnome and human are both quite dead - the githyanki appears slightly ruffled, however, but also looks quite angry.
At the same time, Jansson shoots the wall of ice with the gun that Tori'shel had, and the shot blasts through the ice...
Jansson deals 8 points of damage to the Wall of Ice.
The golem is not doing anything, because it was dispelled.
The githyanki looks at Jirlai. "That was not very wise." He says slowly. "For that, I should leave you to their mercy." He points to those beyond the ice wall. "However... that would be a waste of talent. But when a child uses a toy in the wrong way, the toy must be taken away..."
An invisible force rips the staff from Jirlai's hands, and throws it across the room.
"Now, I will take the gem, and we will be off." The githyanki approaches the gem, and places his hand upon it.
There is a flash of green, and the githyanki is encased in an emerald glow...
The priestess screams. "I will allow none of evil to take the Eye of Imzil!" She rushes over to the githyanki, and grips his wrist with an iron grip.
"You will kneel before the goddess Imzil, and pay for your misdeeds before her." She says in a softer voice, though still full of anger. The githyanki smiles wickedly at her, then fades away - the gem remaining on the pedestal.
"Not, today." The githyanki's voice speaks, the sound fading away along with him.

"What in..."
Animus pulls his hand up over his face to cover his eyes from the fourthcoming rain of icy force, and is literally shattered by the energy.
His spirit, if only for a few seconds before being pulled into whatever afterlife exists, observes the events invisibly from the astral plane.
"Jirlai's benefactor has been removed. But where has he fled with my gem? Can I persue him into the astral? Is that even where he has fled... It is horrible... I'm so angry in my last moments. Where will I be condemned for my desire to cause pain to these two? I murdered that goblin... what is to come... NO, I Wont Change... Kill them all. Thieves, and defilers..."

Syld's construct, which he had been summoning from last turn, materializes next to Jirlai, and begins pounding upon the sorcerer immediately.
The astral construct gets a 12, which misses, and a 17, which hits. It then proceeds to inflict 2 points of damage to Jirlai.
Osius can get through the remains of the wall, although it takes a little time.
He rushes to Niko, the closer of the two bodies, but finds that the gnome is quite dead, and beyond saving.
Meanwhile, the puddle around the goblin continues to get larger...
Nathan prepares to manifest a power via the Gem of Telepathy.
Manifester check - 10.
There is a small shower of red and purple sparks over Jirlai's head, and there is apparently no effect.
The halfling yells out in anger, and rushes for the sorcerer, throwing down the pistol and drawing his blade.
Jansson gets a 21, which is a hit. He inflicts 8 points of damage to Jirlai.
The sorcerer had apparently been preparing to cast a spell, but the large wound that had just been cut into his side silences him.
He looks at the halfling with a look of disbelief, falls back heavily upon the wall, then slowly sinks to the floor.
"You have won, halfling..." He says, gasping. "However... recall our battle in the caves... though you were nearly finished, I allowed you to live..."

Jhessail looks at the near-dead sorcerer. "Do with him asss you will. If it were up to me, I would kill him. However... it wasss not I who lossst two companionsss to hisss evil. The desssisssion, isss yoursss."
She then looks to the bodies of Niko and Animus. "Asss for thessse two... death isss not alwaysss permanent. If you would like, I can attempt to raissse them from the dead, although they will be changed for the experienssse - and their sssoulsss may choossse to not return to usss..."
She looks at each member of the group individually. "Thisss isss not sssomething that I offer lightly. It isss not easssy to return the dead to life, and it isss sssomething that I have never offered to outsssidersss... consssider it a sssign of my trussst."

Desimus disappears from the hallway muttering and cursing,
"Damn betrayals! We would have been with them if Tori'shel had not been false! She will have to answer for this!"
He heads outside and drags Tori'shel into the temple. Turning toward everyone else.
"If we judge Jirlai we must also judge Tori'shel."
