After a slight, giant explosion we continue our Demon Fight. Hopefully nothing too harsh happens to us because I have to assume that these are just like, guards? And then there will be some sort of Super Boss up ahead...

Story[]

Long Story[]

Having just been exploded by the death of the Belor, Toby looses concentration, resulting in the wall down the hall, falling. Or rather, disappearing, leaving everyone exposed. It's fine, though, because it's Toby's turn, and he re-constructs the wall, made of Adamantine, and places it between the two pairs of demons, so the two Nalfeshnee and two Glabrezu are now separated by this wall. Also, it's 9 inches thick. Nice. Rowan shoots one of the Glabrezu, ensnaring it in a mass of thorny vines. Skud then uses that Glabrezu to suck some life force out of, and sends his BattleBot to attack as well. Eckhart Dayhammer is also there, and he swings his sword at the third Glabrezu, decapitating it!

The Glabrezu escapes its bonds, but Toby is able to Magic Missile it to death using his Robe of Stars. Lahni employs an ingenious strategy of phasing through the wall to attack the Nalfeshnee, and then phasing back to avoid getting hit. Ultimately, she's able to kill one of them, and Skud finishes off the other one by sucking it off. Life-wise-speaking, I mean. Hurray, the day is won!

Eckhart heals everyone, which is nice, and Skud also does some healing stuff. Eckhart wants to move along, even though there's still some wounds about, and missing spell slots/Ki points. Unfortunately, due to the many demons, they can't afford to stop and rest. And so it is that they proceed down the hallway, stealthily. They come across a mushroom-y archway, and beyond it, a large room. In the back of that room, lies the towering, monstrous visage of the Queen of Rot, herself. And behind the Queen, frozen in a strange hard gel-like substance, are Aludra, Jaela, and Adira Harper! And Jett Razor

But the largest figure in the room, lurking behind the throne, is none other than Orcus, frozen, held in place by the pyramid, the final piece of the Orb!

Short[]

The party continues their fight against the demons. To sum it up, all of them are killed, as Skud continuously sucks the life force out of them for his own selfish HP needs. Upon their victory, they proceed down the hall and find the throne room, where the Queen of Rot holds captive Aludra, Jaela, Adira Harper, and the demon god Orcus, frozen in place by the final piece of the Orb!

Trivia[]

  • These demons are full of butter!
  • Nika attempts to have Lahni grab someone through a wall and phase them through it so they are stuck inside the wall, and Michael says no. Choo-choo, Michael. Choo-choo...
  • Tim references having 2 Potions of Greater Healing. This is from Episode 392, where everyone grabs 2 Potions of Greater Healing
