The Wayfarer's Inn

Ivid trys to aim for the eye with one shot, and hopes to make the creature turn it's gaze once more, so that it might ignore the possibly important artifacts before them.

Elmo in a more defensive posture moves up to try and harrass the fiend and keep it off task...

Gaderon seeing the change in tack, and trying to shrug off the Demons influence, Gaderon abandons much to his regret the crushing fist spell he has currently cast, to try and defend the true target of the Demons wrath... He drops straight into casting his next spell hoping to stop the creature from succeeding...

(OOC: Wall of Force in hemisphere around the shrine the coffers and anything else in that center portion [Except the Demon of course!] to try and prevent him succeeding...)

Sol will desperately keep trying to attack the demon.

[ooc: two attacks with current adjustments: 7/10 & 17/7 hopefully he hit once...]

Round 4: The party wins initiative.

While Sol is hacking away at the demon lord, hitting him once for 7 points of damage, Gaderon manages to surround the remaining ivory coffer with a wall of force, which doesn't go unnoticed by Aldinach, as can be told by the deep growl and the glaring gaze that he throws at the wizard.

Ahi attacks the creature a second time with his Uas rod, but the attack misses (OOC: You forgot to state what Ahi wanted to do, so I supposed that he tried to attack once more...).

Dragging back the paralyzed paladin, Elmo moves into a position that enables him to attack Aldinach the following round.

Meanwhile Eilkhan finds out the hard way that a powerful creature such as this one can't be tricked by invisibility. While she sneaks up on the demon lord, the creature suddenly turns towards her, and an evil-looking symbol of dark green energy appears in front of her. She feels as if a taloned hand grabs her brain and squeezes it badly. Retching, Eilkhan falls to the ground, dropping her sword and twitching convulsively (OOC: Sorry, no save here. Eilkhan is stunned for the next 6 rounds. Elmo was lucky not to notice it because he's busy with dragging Kherim out of the way).

Ivid if he can will try to continue to fire upon the demon, taking aim and hoping to draw the creatures attention with directed taunts and cursing...

Elmo continues on with his more defensive posture but if he does notice Eilkhan laying there then he will work in some way to keep her from suffering further wrath...

Gaderon will now cast something light against the creature trying to test the limits of it's resistance to magics...
(OOC: Magic Missile...)

Sol keeps up his attacks!

OOC: Three attacks this round (with adjustments): 13/11, 13/7 & 24/11.

Calling upon the will of his goddess Ahi casts Ebony Entrails [sp I may noted it wrong it is a 4th level spell] at the Demon.

Round 5: The party wins initiative

Eight glowing magic missiles spring from Gaderon's fingertips and fly towards the creature, but again the mage isn't able to overcome the obviously powerful magic resistance of the demon lord.

Sol manages to penetrate Aldinach's defenses with Tizona's help, but only one of his attacks hits (for 11 points of damage).

Then a lump of blackness materializes in front of the demon,the ebony tendrils conjured up by Ahi. Four long black arms appear out of the lump and strike at Aldinach, but once again his magical resistance proves stronger than your spells, and he remains completely unaffected.

Obviously being able to notice the invisible wall of force, the demon snarls:

"THESE PRESTIDIGITATIONS WON'T HELP YOU, PUNY MORTALS! MY TASK HERE IS DONE NONETHELESS!"

With these words, Aldinach fires another energy bolt - this one larger than the others - straight into the wooden shrine, which explodes together with the sarcophagus beneath it into a cloud of stone and wood fragments. Except for Ivid and Kherim, who stand too far away, everyone takes 11 points of damage from the flying debris.

When you open your eyes again, you only see clouds of swirling dust and a completely destroyed shrine. Amongst the remains can be seen glints of gold. You are alone again - Aldinach is gone.

OOC: The battle against Aldinach nets each one of you 2000 XPs.

Kherim blinks as he comes out of his paralyzed state and looks around to make sure the demon is gone. Unable to conceal a grin of loathing as he thinks that the creature was not destroyed and simply vanished when it wanted to, and moreso claiming to have done exactly what it wanted, he goes to the rubble and dejectedly turns the debris with his foot, trying to understand what it was those coffers were concealing, and whether any shape of their previous form can be understood at all.

(hmmm... a 4-line sentence. I wonder whether this is good style)

Ahi will look around to make sure noone is down. Spying Eilkhan laying on the ground, he moves as fast as he can to her and begins humming and chanting to Neith, getting to one knee even as he lays a hand on her. A bright blue light flows from his hand to envelop her whole body, then disappears!

Then he looks around and asks "Is everyone all right?"

Ahi has just cast Heal on Eilkhan, Sir C.
