Fed up with these horrid creatures she moves into strike the Dsir nearest to her and strikes with her shard.
Curses at her missing.

They do have quite a good deal of natural armor, chitinous plates that give variable amounts of armor depending on the type of disir.
The elf will use a charge on his wand of magic missles and attack the cleric disir.
SRE! RSRE !
Terevalis strikes the Disir Shaman with magic missiles, it grunts in pain but is still up.
Alathea on her turn decides to start healing allies. She channels energy and uses selective channeling to avoid healing the enemy.
to all PC's except Gabriel.
First to act is the True Disir. They seem to shutter somewhat having seen their brethern being taken down quickly by the sword blows of Jor. Still there is a sort of fanatism in their eyes, some purpose that keeps them fighting despite the vast shift in the odds. They move their positions slightly and Claw/Claw/Bite both Jor and Terevalis.
Next the Disir Shaman gives a hateful glare at the holy paladin. He utters a black prayer and attempts to touch him with his foul claw as it glows with black energy. Its casting defensively.
That Succeeds on the roll
He touches Gabriel with his blackened hand cackling madly feeling the power of the Black Goat flowing through him. Unfortunately having never seen a Paladin before he did not know that they were immune to disease as the black energy touches Gabriel and then dissapates without harm. Clearly he had confidence that the dark power of his God would afflict the knight with a terrible disease. His laughter turns to a scowl of anger seeing his dark curse was ineffective on him.
As for the Disir Elite, seeing the cleric use the channel draws its attention as it yells out in its foul tongue and goes in for the kill moving in and strking with a power attack.
Fortunately the protection of the Tear she carries deflects the foul blow of the beast.
As for the Lemure it charges at Jor and takes a swing at the flank
but fails to hit
"What is darkness in presence of light."
Two blows strike into the Shaman and cut deeply into the creature. Unfortunately he finds that this will not be enough to slay this foul abomination and it stays on its feet.
Jor and the kender go before me correct?
They go after you because they delayed until after your fireball.
I also forgot claw damage
and poison save
and poison save
He will use another charge from his wand at the creature that still is after him.
Fort
Terevalis resists the poison and then smothers the Disir with magic missiles pummeling its wicked form. It screams in anger but it still has far more health to keep fighting.
Jor Fortitude Save
Jor fights off the poison although still feels debilitated.
Jor now strikes at the wounded creature with an angry blow.
This does: damage. The creature is cut down from the blow already weakened by the magic missiles. He then strikes at the other creature next to him for his 2nd attack.
Second attack hits barely and does damage. The blow is not quite enough to take it down though although its body is split open like a rotten fruit.

Athola takes a short step before swinging her blade at the Disir she is flanking with Terevalis.

Athola is able to backstab the Disir next to her, opening up a major artery and allowing foul blood to flow freely from the wound. The creature quickly collapses and dies. She then strikes a blow on the adjacent Disir Elite, striking it well and cutting deep with the Shard of light but not as severely as the first monster.
Alathea chennels energy again to aid her allies excluding their foes from her healing waves.
Channel Energy
The Disir Shaman angry that his spell failed to inflict the Paladin with a horrible disease attacks Gabriel with a mad fury.
The claws are deflected by shield and armor however the two claw strikes bring Gabriel off balance and the Shaman is able to score a blow with its wicked maw.
and DC 15 poison save.
As for the Disir Elite, it gives a hateful glare at the critter (Athola) that stabbed him and attacks with a flurry of blows with its claws and bite. It will power attack for good measure.
(He dosen't get feat bonus on the bite)
Fortunately only one of the claws hit but the claw hits with a lot of force behind it.
and a DC 16 poison save.
It will then 5 foot step to re-position itself to the North of Athola.
That's the enemy turns. Everyone else can act now.
I will sort out Jor first. Seeing that that giant Disir is far more of a threat than the pathetic pile of slime, Jor moves over to attack the Disir Elite
He takes a powerful swing with his greatsword with a power attack.
The blow rocks into the beast slicing an open wound across its back. Still he soon finds out that the bulky creature can take more punishment than the less beefy looking Disir.
One claw hits for a pathetic damage
Gabriel takes the bite in stride and as he does all of his wounds vanish and the venom has no effect as he continues to attack the creature.
With two swings of his sword Gabriel is able to bring down the foul Disir Shaman. Already not fully healed from the previous battle the Disir cannot stand against the assault from Gabriel's blade. The creature collapses to the ground, its foul blood pooling on the marble tiles of the road.

Not amused by the elite Disir hitting her, she tumbles to position herself to flank with Jor.
She curses at missing the Disir.

Athola stabs the Disir Elite in the back with the Shard of Light. The creature growls in pain as blood bleeds out from the creature. It staggers a bit and then on the start of its turn collapses to the ground dying.
With its summoner dead and its allies killed the Lemure stares blankly and then vanishes back to Abyss as the duration of the spell runs out.
The bodies of the Disir lie dying or dead on the white marble road toward the large pillars. Unfortunately due to the lack of hands, clothing or backpacks none of the normal Disir actually carry anything. The Disir shaman however does have a spellpouch, a medallion of faith for Morigon and a number of potions concealed in his robes. The liquid inside looks clear enough although the bottles are rather slimy. As for drinking them, well lacking any hands probably would have made it difficult to open and drink the potions.
Identifying the potions you get 2 Potions of Cure Light Wounds, 2 Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds and 1 potion of Cat's Grace.
Smash the medallion of faith. the Black Robe suggests.
Alathea nods at Terevalis' suggestion and does just that with her hammer.
She then casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Athoa who was injured by the Disir.

After the fight
Athola places her hands on her hips as she looks at the dead, "Though creatures are really bad. Feel not so well. Think that goo is rather poisonous. Hope we don't come across more of them."
A flash of dark energy goes out when the unholy symbol is broken and it breaks into pieces. The foul symbol of Morigon has been destroyed. Looking ahead you don't see any more Disir but they did chose to defend this strip of road with their lives so it appears the way to your goal is forward toward the large spires.
Perhaps the kender should scout ahead?
Athola nods and quickly moves forward, making use of structures to hide behind to peer around ahead for any more threats.
Gabriel nods and follows.
Athola scouts ahead towards the tall white towers of Micha. They were the core support pillars of the towers, which have either fallen about them or were destroyed in the explosive collapse of the city by the looks of it. Each pillar is a solid column of white stone, which reflects a beautiful rainbow of flickering colors if light is shone upon it. Deep cracks crisscross each pillar, however, giving the impression that they are not as stable as they once were.
The pillars support a sandstone roof one hundred feet above. As she approaches she seems the area is covered in Thin, filmy sheets of web-like curtains that have been put up between the pillars which keeps her from getting a direct line of sight to the center of the area. Still it also gives Athola cover to sneak around as well. Weaving her way through the webbing she peeks around and eventually comes across a horrific sight.
The thick, heady smell of musk and the sharp tang of acid commingle in this nightmarish place. Surrounded by filmy curtains of webbing and hunched over a thick mass of writhing larval forms is a creature at least three times as large as a man, armor plated and glistening with ooze. Its head, enormous and wasp-like, swivels on a spindly neck, jaw opening and shutting.
Also there is three more of the larger Disir Elites and another Disir Shaman who seems to be conversing with the giant monstrosity in their foul language. While Athola cannot understand the foul language he can tell that the large creature is actually has a feminine voice although obviously corrupt and inhuman.
Fortunately Athola remains out of sight during this exchange. Eventually she can sneak back and rely this information to the party.
After Athola reports back
"A strange creature indeed, sounds like a demon of sorts. This can't be good. We need to move in now to find the eggs."
Gabriel looks to the group to make sure everyone is ready.
Moving bit sluggisly after others and stopping after a while, not clearly in control of his own body "I suggest, uff, that we do something drastic or somehow just try to outfit here. I am in no condition at the moment to try any special things"
Athola holds the Tear aloft allowing it to soothe the wounds of Athola and Jor.
