Also raising himself higher by climbing the spikes, Venmirl then lands a solid blow on the grappling demon. She recoils in pain but she doesn't seem as badly hurt as she should be.
The quasit yells out in frustration. "ENOUGH! You will payss forrr yourrr arrrrrogance human loverr. I'll killss you firssst then deal with yourrr alliesss." Stopping her attempts to free herself, the demon savagely attacks Darst. The goblin is taken a bit by surprise as the tiny demon's claws rake across his face. He immediately feels his face's muscles stiffening. The foul demon's claws must hold some poisonous toxin!
Darst moans as the venom courses through him, and tightens his grip.
Izbahn thinks, This thing must die!. He hangs on for dear life, knowing help is not forthcoming, yet.
Naomi runs through the doors as fast as she can.

Darst fights the pain and the slowing poison and manages to grab all the demon's limbs. With Izbahn holding her wings to prevent her from flying, the quasit is effectively immobilized and unable to attack for now. She squirms and growls in frustration.
After getting a few good hits on the little demon and noticing that it has not felt the feel affect of his morningstar, Venmirl casts a spell aimed at his weapon.
Hoping that the magic of his totem will help him deal more damage to the small demon, Venmirl enchants his morningstar with a simple spell.
Being held fast, the quasit is unable to attack. She instead twist in the grip of her captors and agilely manages to slip out of their grasp. Wasting no time, the demon unfurls her wings and quickly flies back up to the ceiling . Up there, she mocks her attackers. "Givesss it up now, morrrrtalsss! Yourrr pathetic attemptsss to hurrrt me havesss all failed!"
AoO
Morningstar: damage:
Morningstar: damage:
The quasit tries to dive under Venmirl's morningstar but she only partially succeed. The weapon strikes one of her wing, weirdly causing only a minor wound. It doesn't stop the demon from reaching the ceiling.
Izbahn focuses his energies, and throws a minor cantrip at the quasit.
"9 Hells!" Naomi curses as the fear fades away. She turns around and runs back into the room, barely inside the doors before she yells at the quasit.
"Worshipper of the Mother of Monsters, you are keeping me from my mark! Either be brave enough to fight us now or go back to whatever slime pit spawned you and your filth!"
Just as Naomi moves back into the room, Izbahn releases a spell to cloud the quasit's mind. The little she-demon doesn't seem affected by it however.
Acid Dart: damage:
A draw, you mean, a stalemate, he he.
Darst looks around for something to throw (preferably something I can use to skewer the little beast).
If he finds one, the goblin weighs it in his hand, considering something.
Venmirl's acid dart catches the small demon right in the chest but the substance doesn't seem to affect her in the slightest. In fact, most attacks aimed at the quasit have proven mostly ineffective. Even the most serious wounds caused by Izbahn's magic seem healed by now.
Darst looks around for a weapon, something he could throw. There is little in the middle of the pool other then the circle of skull-mounted metal pikes. A closer examination reveals that one of them is badly rusted at the water line and could possibly be broken in two. With the skull removed, this could serve as a makeshift javelin.
Izbahn is getting desperate now, as he sees no way to kill the demonic creature. He spies Darst, and with a crazy thought jumping into his mind. He reaches to grab Darst, and without giving either Darst or the quasit a chance to react, he launches the nearly crippled goblin at the creature!

Darst starts fixing up the pike.

Amrunelara moves back to the room beside Naomi while Darst breaks up one of the pikes to make a makeshift weapon.
High above the group, the quasit call upon her innate abilities and once again disappear from view. The slight sound of her wings flapping can still be heard above but it's hard to know where it's coming from exactly.
Izbahn glares up at the spot where he knows the quasit is still hovering. Abandoning his efforts to grab the hapless goblin for now, he approaches the pulpit where the boiling liquid sits, while uncorking the bottle of wine he picked up earlier that morning. He gives an evil grin as he pours the contents into the bubbling liquid.
To Izbahn's surprise, the wine he drops into the bubbling pool actually freezes to create a red-tinted block of ice floating at the surface of the bubbling 'water'. A shriek can be heard coming from somewhere high in the room. "Yourrr continued defilement of the Mother's SSSanctum iss an affrront, human! You will pay!"
Hearing the demon's furious shriek, Naomi runs over toward Izbahn and the pool of water.

Darst screams and throws his 'spear' at where he heard the demon.
EDIT: Dang.
