Raiden is quite uneasy approaching the demon, as she looks all the world like a defenseless maiden, but Ravvek's body (is he dead?!) steels his resolve. But apparently he is still too wary to get close enough to damage her.
Raiden chops down on the woman as you see her frown slightly when Anton shakes off the Magic’s trying to take hold of his mind.

Anton glares at the "woman" as he drives his sword into her chest with both hands. He pulls the blade free, and whirls around and kicks her in her filthy crotch.
"Can someone help Rav?" he yells. "He doesn't look good!"
slashing
bludgeoning
Uriah gestures with his rapier to the Demoness! Unhand that man! He's no master of the boudoir! I, However, shall dance with you this evening foul wench of the underworld!
Zayless takes a few steps to avoid friends and gets a fresh line on the bad lady.
Sashah seems frantic and frustrated, "No, no, no..! I vill get no answers..."
Anton’s blade drives deep and the kick to the groin, although defelected somewhat by her natural resistances, helps to drive home his point. . Her eyes narrowing as if she intends to make the monk pay for his incolence when Uriah’s spell take hold. Her eyes go wide with fright and she bolts for the door out of the room.
Zayless’s blast hammers into her back as she was heading for the door.
-53 before Zayless
Scramsax viciously slices at her Achilles's heel as she retreats...
Anton swings at her, but catches air as she darts past.

"Nooo!...My case study!.." Sashah laments as he resigns himself to check to see if Ravvek still lives.
Fleeing due to Uriah’s magic, Scramsax is able to find purchase, though little it was. It is Zayless’s magic however that drops the creature. As the woman collapses onto the floor, she begins to discorporate into a foul smelling mist.
Sashah leans over Ravvek checking for vitals but his skin is cold and clammy. His life energies being drained from him. Sashah determines that Ravvek has passed and may now be within the realm of Melora.
Raiden rushes over and shakes Ravvek, not believing that so quickly could one's life simply be sucked out. Rav! Ravvek!! He's not really dead is he? But he knows the truth of it.
Alas. A dirge my song will become... Uriah says, a tear forming in one eye.
And it would have made a most excellent heroic epic.... pity.
Uriah pulls out his lute and plays a little melody
Brave and True Sir Ravvek, undone by the unholy wench. She plucked his trousers, and his soul, just as easily as anything.
"Are you kidding me?? He can't be gone...he was Her champion!" he tosses his swords clattering across the floor. "F+%~ing deep dwarves...its their fault. I'm going to kill every last one of them..."
Zayless leans back against the wall across the room. He slumps down watching the others closer to the fallen Paladin. He mutters to himself, "What of my friend. His heart was good. He made no deal as I have . . . will he be turned away for his temptation. A moment of frailty undoes a life of righteous cause. Tell me he walks the celestial streets or . . ." His voice trails off as he in grief argues with an unseen person.
Sashah begins an in depth analysis of symptoms and indicators that lead to Ravvek's death. He soon has taken parchments out and is screwing and studying the object formerly known as Ravvek.

Anton, usually so composed, falls to his knees next to Rav's body and shakes his shoulders. "Come on, breathe! God dammit, breathe! Gods dammit, you b#&+&! You never backed away from anything in your life! Now fight!" He slaps Rav."Fight!" He slaps him again. "Fight! Right now! Do it! Fight goddammit! Fight! Fight! Fiiiiight!"

We can fix this, right? There are spells for this? Raiden's little brain is whirring, trying to think of something. He blinks at Zayless, not sure what he's going on about, and sits back when Anton tries shake life back into Rav. He looks to Sashah, surely the most knowledgeable about these things.
After a time, he would suggest getting the heck out of here, with Rav in tow of course.

Searching the library Sashah finds a very large collection of books, keeping him very busy and learning more about Dwarven culture.
Using some of the wood from the book case that Sashah emptied the shelves of, the group makes a plank to carry Ravvek's body. After a rest here in the library, you all head out of the Forge. The dwarves and Scram share devious glares at one another as the group departs but no other altercations ensue. The party finds thier way back to Blasingdell where they can rest and relax.
The caravan that you had come to Blasingdell with has been here for the past two days selling wares and are moving on east soon. Some will inevitably leave with the caravan, moving on and leaving the Forge of Fury to be plundered once again by adventurous folk like yourselves. Others may stay a while, enjoying the small town charm of Blasingdell, and some may stay, planning thier return to the the undermountain that still holds many secrets to uncover.
