Rumal moves into the room, and into the western corner. From there he tries to get a food shot off at the thing, even though everyone's jumping around at it. He spent too much of his short attention span on finding a good spot to shoot from, he almost lost his target altogether.
One, two, three, Nover, Togog, and Elaina all leap to try to attack or grab the creature, and all three find themselves well short of their target.
Rumal steps into the southwest corner of the room, then lets fly with a crossbow bolt. It sails harmlessly to the creature's left, eliciting a grin from the foul beast.
Enna again lets fly a magical bolt of energy, turning the creature's grin into a snarl.
The beast flutters a few more feet into the air, starting to chant yet again.
Summary:
Nover - 5 damage
Sinspawn - Dead
Demon - 6 damage
This lady was really annoying, but she hadn't really done anything dangerous yet, either. And she cut herself, so she should be bleeding to death soon. Elaina moves up the stairs to the pool. At least they shouldn't all be grouped up in the same spot.
attack , damage
Togog snarls, his hatred of all foul and evil driving his attack...
Enna taps deep in to the core of her very being. Reserves of energy come flying to her finger tips as green flames dance along her arms and fume from her nostrils.
"Run, I will handle this.”
A plume of heavenly fire flies out to meet the winged horror.
Nover reaches for his ranseur.
"I am right where I need to be, looks like I get a decent swing in."

Rumal works on reloading his crossbow, and looking around for a better angle. He decides to head towards the balcony, maybe get some higher ground.
"Arrgh," Togog snarls. "Come down here and face Angradd's wrath ye foul beast."
Enna tries to scorch the little beast with heavenly fire, but it dodges nimbly aside...right into Nover's blade. True fear flickers on the beast's face for the first time.
The others change positions or get ready as the beast flies back a few feet (5 ft step), then disappears.
"Don't let her escape, close the door!" Elaina takes out her waterskin and dumps the contents into the pool. "Oh no, I'm defilin' your pool! You better come get me."
Stepping forward to where he might be in range, Nover swings wildly at the empty air.
Nover calms down from his rage, and tries to catch his breath.
"Dammit, it's gone. I will kill it if it is the last thing I do, and before I do that I have to defile this pool... and not with water. Ladies you might want to look away."
"Neither of you are going to really be able to do much to defile the pool. Togog on the other hand should be able to call on his patron to burn out the ills of this place." Enna keeps a watchful eye out, just because the beast is invisible doesn't mean it ran.
A minute passes, with no sign of the creature who disappeared.
"Way to go guys. You let her get away!" Elaina angrily chucks her waterskin into the little pool.
Enna will ignore miss Newberry and focus upon the pool instead.
As Nover prepares to make water in the larger pool, and Enna prepares to look into the magical properties of the glowing pool, Elaina angrily throws her waterskin into the triangular pool on the raised platform. Almost immediately, the water bubbles angrily, turning a dull color, as a tiny voice shrieks, "NOOOOOO!!!"
Immediately following, three of the terrible abominations from earlier leap out of the now depleted pool, eager to do harm to you all.
"I knew it was a portal to another world! Face me, monsters!" Elaina spins towards the stairs, a more advantageous position, and strikes one of the monsters.
"Now look what you have done!!! Enna throws her hands up on exasperation.
(Almost) Caught with his pants down, Nover draws his blade and swings it at the closest creature. Gripping the blade in two hands he takes a defensive posture as he was without his shield.
"That's not the worst part, I heard that foul little creatures voice from somewhere nearby. It hasn't vanished, but is merely hiding!"
As three of those creatures appear up on top of the balcony, Rumal is startled by the suddeness of it. He grabs a vial in panic and hurls one of his concotions at the group of them, not thinking about Elaina.
Elaina starts spinning into her battle dance, catching the sinspawn next to her offguard and slashing it hard across the chest.
Enna calls upon celestial energy, pointing her finger at the westernmost sinspawn. A small line of holy energy blasts the creature, causing it to hiss in pain.
Nover grips his sword in both hands and moves up the steps to back Elaina up. He brings his weapon down in a mighty arc, but doesn't manage to hit the creature.
Rumal panics, grabbing a vial and hurling it into the mass of monsters and peoples.
Togog follows Nover up the stairs, mumbling something about Angradd.
The creature Elaina struck, not surprisingly, attempts to maul her. The beast only manages to strike a glancing blow against the agile dancer.
The other two close on the sturdy dwarf, attempting to rend him apart. A claw from each monster lands heavily on the dwarf, while one's teeth grazes the sturdy dwarf's arm as he attempts to block with his longsword.
Summary:
Nover - 15 damage
Elaina - 2 damage
Elaina's Sinspawn - 10 damage
Top Nover Sinspawn - 12 damage (on fire)
Bottom Nover Sinspawn - 5 damage
"So sad that you have to die so shortly after you are born." Elaina is surprised her somewhat clumsy attack hits the creature and she strikes at it again.
Not wishing to waste her breath, Enna continues her gouts of holy fire.
Rumal flinches when he realizes he got Elaina in the blast from his mixture. Sheepishly, he moves back closer to Enna, and fires at the monster attacking Elaina, in apology.
"That hurts. This might hurt more though."
Novers rage begins again as he brings his blade down onto the creature.

Elaina gloats over the awkwardness of her opponent, again striking out with her quickened scimitar. A thin red line appears under what passes for the thing's chin, and it drops to the floor, twitching.
Enna again bathes the sinspawn in her holy flames, the creature bellowing in pain.
Rumal takes aim after he moves to Enna's side, letting fly at the middle monster. Between the bolt now embedded in it and the flames still burning it, the creature drops.
Nover winces in pain, returning the favor as his sword cleaves the creature's skull in twain, providing the dwarf with a bit of resistance as he has to work the sword out. Good thing is, there are no enemies left to harass him as he does so.
Enna looks at her companions for a second. "Let's try this, everyone ready yourself." After waiting for everyone to brace for a second, Enna takes some blood from Nover's woundsand llet's it drip in to the pool.
Rumal waits with baited breath, except for the interrupting hiccup, to see what happens when Enna tries her experiment.
The blood falls from Nover's wound into the pool and....nothing happens.
Enna shrugs, "Well, worth a try.”
Nover covers up his wound with his hand.
"Hey! That's mine! At least ask next time if you want to use my blood to try and summon a demon or Gods know what else. We need to find that littke creature, it's still around here somewhere, I know it."

As if to go against Nover's words, only silence reigns in the chamber, nothing going on at all. The waters of the triangular pool are still and relatively clear, now.
Rumal gasps loudly, with a sharp intake of breath, as he'd forgotten he was holding in when nothing happened to the waters in the pool. "Awride then, whus ness? Are we all done here? Did we save uh day like grade heroes?"
