Amon lands another two arrows in the shaman who howls in pain while Aerin's bladed scarf wounds the large brute.
Vayga makes an effort to attack the brute from around the corner.
The shaman takes a step back from the passage, preventing Amon from taking another shot at him . Teeth gritting from pain he weaves another spell.
He casts cure light wounds on himself.
Two of the goblins continue to aid the large brute.
The third one attempts to stab Aerin but is unsuccessful.

via the Message spell: Empyreal Lord Zohls must be looking out for us by maintaining an illusion in the center of the room. It seems to have scared the goblins away, as I no longer hear anything from them.

Cindy will fly up and stop over Vayga while maintaining her hex with cackle.
Getting to overconfident Vayga fails to connect with the brutish hobgoblin.
Amon attempts to finish the Hobgoblin.
With a surprised look on its face the brutish hobgoblin collapses as Amon's first arrow strikes it. The undines second arrow drops a nearby goblin.
As the brute falls a canine like creature bursts into the room from the west passage. The creature is winking in and out of existence. It looks briefly at the fallen hobgoblin and its canine face contorts as it lets out of strange barking laugh.
This is a barghest. A creature from the outer planes that can take the form of either a wolf or a goblin. They come to the material plane to consume the bodies of good creatures until they grow sufficiently to evolve into a greater barghest. They are resistant to damage from non-magical weapons.
Barghest's have several spell like abilities. Blink, Levitate, and Misdirection which it can use at will. Charm Monster, Crushing Despair, and Dimension door which it can perform once per day.
The remaining two goblins and hobgoblin flee from the onslaught, heading for opposite passages. Vayga cuts the first one down.
Four arrows come flying out of the darkness from the northwest.
While coming into the light is a misshapen looking goblin. Its hands end in filthy looking claws and its mouth opens revealing several long razor sharp teeth.
Round 10
Aerin Will Cast a mirror Image and Move to be in melee combat with the bargest, after Cindy has acted.
As a swift action a wand appears in Cindy's hand from its wrist sheath. She lightly taps Aerin with it, healing some of her wounds. Into the message spell she whispers The Barghast is here. And then she cackles like a crazy person.
She nods her thanks and whisper back before moving toward her new target Told you he was here
Aerin cuts down the second fleeing goblin.
With a snarl the barghest retreats back into the western passage.
The Barghest is the threat. Lets get him.

via message spell He is trying to get in in tight corners where our numbers will be less of a problem for him. Just be carefull.
Whoever is low on HP and plans to stand on the front line (I am guessing Aerin?), Amon walks up behind and casts CMWs on.
Thank you Amon, i feel a lot better.

Aerin charges down the passage after the barghest with Vayga right behind her.
To the east the shaman flees up the stairs farther into the passage back towards the waterfall.
As Cormick moves further up the stairs in the northern hallway the deformed goblin gives chase, catching up to him. Four goblin archers also make their way into the light at the bottom of the stairs.

The wolf howls in pain from the combined elements enveloping its body, and staggers backwards barely avoiding the second strike from Aerin. The creatures hair is sticking straight out from the electrical discharge, at least in those locations where it was not singed.
As Cormick tumbles backwards the hideous looking goblin claws at him.
Cindy quickly gains on the fleeing shaman.
The hobgoblin drops to the floor in the passage.
Cindy will report in over the message spell stating the the Shaemn is bagged and proceed to coup de grace, closing if she needs to. Being able to move 60' a round she may have already closed.
Amon steps around to where he can take aim at the Barghest, though Vayga and Aerin make getting a good shot difficult.
The creature narrowly evades the arrow. It steps back from Aerin then vanishes from sight.
Is used dimension door as a spell like ability.
With Cormick continuing to fall back the goblins on the stairs press forward.
Cindy cleanly beheads the shaman slumbering at her feet.

Via message the Barghest used a dim Door ability in order to escape, i am going after him. Have Aemon clean up the goblin behind you Cormick then follow me.
Round 13
Double move after the barghest.
<<Shamen Down. Where do you need me?>>
Cindy will double move back to the group to either air Cormick or go after the Barghest IF someone tells her where its at. Her move flying is 60' so she will be covering a lot of ground.
We don't know where the barghest dim-dorred but we are heading down this way as we haven't explored it cindy.
Next rd: I will move up 30' and attack the goblin on Cormick.
Cormick evades the twisted goblin again and reaches the top of the stairs as Amon comes to aid him, sending an arrow into the creatures shoulder.
Aerin and Vayga go dashing down the western passage in hopes of finding and finishing off the barghest. The stone of the corridor changes from rough hewn to finely worked stone and three sets of doors facing each other line the passage.
The goblins pursing Cormick continue to advance.
Round 14
Cormick wills the Dancing Lights to race up the stair and stop just behind the twisted goblin.
He maintains his defensive posture and then attempts to tumble back another 10'.
"Amon, I'll need to renew my light in a moment, unless you have some means. Also please keep moving back into the room, I think I can pull this defensive tactic one more time before I get to the rooms edge."
