Hajar brandishes Tempest and states
We must end this creature. Let us see to collecting any useful things here and continue.
"My friends, I am forever in your debt. I need only a moment to regain my wind and I will be ready."
Al-Akim sits himself against a wall while the group looks for any items of use. After a few moments of labored, heavy breathing, the Ranger jumps up and looks at Hajar. "I am ready friend..."
Just mundane loot. All 6? how many were there? had +4 Str composite longbows. I will post the other loot later.
When you are ready to head to the next chamber.
You open the door and find that this chamber stands in stark contrast to the craftsmanship of worked stone of the rest of the crypt—instead, here looms a vast cavern. The air is damp and cold, and moist, writhing roots hang down from the ceiling twenty feet above. Puddles of reeking fluid dot the floor, and at the far end a jagged upthrust lance of stone rises from the ground to form a steeply-sloped platform.
Standing upon the upthrust stone shelf is a towering muscular man wielding an immense axe—, Kardswann. Kardswann chuckles with a dry, inhuman laughter and speaks with a croaking rasp that sounds nothing like what the genie sounded like before.
Many years have I languished in this foul place, trapped here by the wards placed by your Pactmasters. Endless decades have I endured the whispering spirits of the wholesome dead, cursing my captors, hating the world I could no longer corrupt. When the Templar came eight weeks past he walked through the walls. The red-men’s seal remained intact. But you, you
have broken the seal, and my long captivity is finally at an end. But before I go, I will kill you one by one until the last of you willingly allows himself to be my slave. The genie rises from his throne. Which one of you, I wonder, shall that be?
Xulthos! Show yourself now and face Sarenrae's justice! Kardswann is defeated so put away your child's tricks
If its possible and Xulthos shows himself Hajar will cast Challenge Evil and use Smite Evil as soon as possible, which gives Hajar a total +6 to hit, +10 damage and +5 AC (23) vs Xulthos.
pointing at Hajar Hey that guy just volunteered for the job he wants to be first. You should try i heard from them Gnolls that i might taste good.
Xulthos Drops his Illusion and you see the true insect creature he truly is.
Thin glossy insect wings beat rapidly and send Xulthos into the air. The sound of the wings penetrates into your brain and threatens to steal your focus.
Everyone make a DC 18 Will save to avoid confusion from the droning of his wings.
Confused: A confused creature is mentally befuddled
and cannot act normally. A confused creature cannot tell
the difference between ally and foe, treating all creatures
as enemies. Allies wishing to cast a beneficial spell that
requires a touch on a confused creature must succeed on
a melee touch attack. If a confused creature is attacked, it
attacks the creature that last attacked it until that creature
is dead or out of sight.
Roll on the following table at the beginning of each
confused subject’s turn each round to see what the subject
does in that round.
d% Behavior
01–25 Act normally.
26–50 Do nothing but babble incoherently.
51–75 Deal 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self
with item in hand.
76–100 Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a
familiar counts as part of the subject’s self ).
A confused creature who can’t carry out the indicated
action does nothing but babble incoherently. Attackers
are not at any special advantage when attacking
a
confused
creature. Any confused creature who is attacked
automatically
attacks its attackers on its next turn, as
long as it is still confused when its turn comes. Note that
a confused creature will not make attacks of opportunity
against anything that it is not already devoted to attacking
(either
because of its most recent action or because it has
just been attacked).
=> Confused
Th noise beats at Hajar's mind but his focus on Sarenrae's fiery countenance holds true.
You will not best me foul creature!
Hajar begins to chant and holds his holy symbol in one hand as he challenges the daemon to mortal combat!
Al-Akim steels his mind against the dangerous thrumming of Xulthos' wings.
"You stand small in the face of the dawnflower Xulthos! Prepare to be redeemed!"
The Ranger draws his bow and knocks his first arrow letting it fly towards the insect-creature, followed almost immediately by a second.

For Raj
For Nemaides
CHARGE! Yells Nemaides, who flies of from Raj's shoulder... straight into a wall...
Raj grimaces as his body unwillingly turns away from the deafening noise. He was reminded of the experiment one of the divination students had pulled in which he enchanted a small button to beep at the most annoying pitch possible and sewed it onto the back of the collar of one of the other students. The results had been hilarious, but Raj found that he had a new appreciation for the victim's displeasure.
He tries pointing his staff at Xulthos to cast a spell, but some how manages to whack himself in the face with it instead.
Blinking the black eye he gave himself, Raj's mind scrambles to figure out how to overcome the terrible noise...
Round 1
Grim fumble at the imaginary attacker in front of him and manages to hit himself
Let me see if I can summarize combat here.
Hajar challenges Xulthos.
Grim stabs himself.
Raj smacks himself
Naziri shoots Hit 8 damage.
Someone roll Gunks will.
Gunk:
Gunk seems uneffected and launches an acid bomb at Xulthos!
Gunk hurls a bomb at Xulthos but the bomb falls short???
It dosent say so I say every round.
Someone resize Xulthos to 1 square please.
Xulthos quickly flies toward Hajar charging.
Round 2 if you failed the will roll a new one.

Wahoo! I'm not sticking around for this! Yells Nemaides who charges for the other side of the room. Maybe he can find something useful there...
You little snapperwhipper! I'll teach you to drag mud through the kitchen! Squeals Raj in a pinched voice, aiming a shot with his staff at Hajar's rear as if he were spanking him.
+2 Flank
The blow, while certainly noticeable, does nothing more than rattle Hajar's armor and Raj's arms, who stares off blankly at the back of Hajar's head, presumably in horror that he just tried to give the paladin a spanking.
Yea but its making the DM LOL
Hajar takes the Daemon's strike and shouts in his now familiar battle voice!
إلى الهاوية معك شيطان
Hajar's body erupts in flames as he screams his warcry at the foul beast!
Gunk:
Gunk pulls out his knife and attacks Naziri but misses!
Round 2
Grim's will overcoming the confusion allows him to take measure of the combat.
If a move is required to be in melee (flanking)
if he can just 5ft step
10% chance to miss this guy due to the way the light shines off his carapace.
Hajar
Grim , Grim
All Hit. 51 Damage done (no damage from the fire)
59 damage done total.
Hajar hurt him the most and he challenged him so Xulthos Bites Hajar.
Naziri has an attack up but lets go into round 3.
Based off Grim's post everyone but Hajar and Naziri must keep rolling each round to see if they can shake the confusion for a round to act normally.
Hajar shouts again and attacks!
Gunk:
Gunk babbles incoherently !!!!
Hajar Misses.
Yea round 3.

Over the sounds of the battle, a hoarse voice floats from the back of the room. There, on the pedestal Xulthos previously occupied, stands Nemaides, wings spread, and belting out the bawdiest bar song in his repertoire. He hops back and forth in some perverse one legged dance, but eventually, thankfully, topples out of sight and falls silent.
Raj grits his teeth and carefully retrieves a small item. Enough of this. He swings his staff in a wide arc and plants it in the ground... splashing mud up...
Raj speaks in a very deep, slow voice that seems to resonate off the pillars of the cavern.
"Geist der Erde, Binden der Daemon. Stoppen Sie Ihre Ohren mit Schlamm"
From behind Xulthos, the earth seems to begin to boil, bubbles of mud slopping and popping, though the sound is drowned out by the Daemon. A familiar glowing disk appears, though this time it is mostly obscured by mud.
You'll be swallowed up by the earth yet, Xulthos.
Round 3
Grim's will managing to keep control of his body will swing once again at the deamon
Naziri grimaces through the lingering noise of the Xulthos's flapping wings. In a swift and graceful movement the ranger drops his bow, and draws his ancestral falchion. With grim determination, he lashes out at the vile creature!
Al-Akims blow strikes true, and bites through the outer carapace and into the meaty flesh below.
I took the liberty of 5' stepping Naziri to be in a flanking position with Grim. Also, Grim are you gonna roll attacks?
