[sblock=Milestone]
Forgot to mention it but after the last encounter you reached a milestone. [/sblock]
The group continues past as the cries of battle continue behind them, even more determined to stop the high priest.
As you reach the clearing where the standing stones are located, you see a large column of darkness rising from the ring, it appears to be a black flame over fifty feet tall. Around the stones eight humanoids shuffle back and forth seeming oblivious to the happenings going on. A zombie the size of an ogre is standing around, a tree trunk in his hands, unfocused eyes stare blankly. Next to the stones, a dwarf kneels before a makeshift altar of some kind. It appears that the eyes that were being taken from the victims you've seen were for a purpose as they lie in a pile next to the dwarf, being drawn into the dark flame causing a slight flicker of purple lightning as they do. A man clad in full plate and bearing a large shield and bastard sword stands at guard in front of him. He sees you approaching and turns back to the dwarf for a moment and returns his attention to you, unsheathing the blade and unstrapping the shield. The man walks towards you, seeming to draw the flickering darkness around him distorting his appearance.
The dwarf stands up and a scowl crosses his face,
"Well, you've escaped those useless dwarves, I should've known better than to trusdt their incompetence. Ah how I tire of their skin" he says coldly, and closes his eyes. A second later his skin elongates as he becomes taller and a human is standing where the dwarf was a moment ago.
"So you've traveled all this way to stop me, why? I hired you, paid you handsomely and your demonstration of gratitude is to assault my holdings in Daunton? Haven't you heard the name Kadaj whispered in hushed reverence in the streets of the city? You shall learn why those who know of me fear me. When I allow Zal'Ekthees to return to this world he shall raise me up as his exarch and then I will truly rule Daunton" the man says madly as he gestures towards you and the zombies begin advancing on you. You notice he still has both eyes.

[sblock=Terrain Features]
Light source is Dim Lighting so if you lack low-light vision or don't have another lightsource, enemies have concealment from you. Difficult terrain is noted on the map. The ring next to the priest is where the column of darkness is coming from. [/sblock]
you will let the wizard go first! I will post my turn and then we can resolve (you can feel free to delay)[/sblock]
