"If they are Beholders, then what is their weakness...or at least how should be approach them? If we are invisible, do their powers still work?"
"Beholders? You mean from the children's stories? It can't be." The Greenblade leader stares at you in disbelief.

how do we fight a beholder? he has one eye that disintegrates and one that turns to stone. anything else we have to worry about?
"Scatter and attack from many angles, to minimize its ability to focus effects." Nowzai frowns deeply, plumbing the depths of his knowledge. "They have a variety of harmful eye rays -- telekinesis, enchanting... death. Anti-magic, so spells may be useless if the creature is looking in your direction."
Epik scowls, "It is dire news that Vhalantru is in league with such a foul beast. We have gathered enough incriminating information on this pretender - it is time for us to strike in force and remove the threat from Cauldron!"

"If we burn the house, will the fire harm those foul beasts? If so, perhaps burning it to the ground is the way to go."
Epik shrugs, "The creatures were encountered in tunnels beneath the house. Burning the house is unlikely to affect them."
He leads the way back to the manor.
"We are headed back to the mansion. Regardless if we confront Vhalantru and this beholder or not, I will attempt to rescue your other petrified friends." Nowzai bows to Everoth and Shydara before turning to follow Epik.

You teleport and dimension door into the hidden pit room with the statues.
Nemoris and Tlanextic stay behind to watch and communicate as best they can until you depart from Tlanextic's telepathic range. He's hoping as you travel underground, you may be in range of him for a bit and will continue to ping you as best he can.
Epik look's around the room for any visible exits. "How do we get out of here? What's down the pit?"
Nowzai points out where the illusion-covered pit is at. "I can feather fall us all down to the bottom safely. Getting out may require a bit more effort."
Epik nods, "Let's get on with it then."
Once Nowzai casts the spell, he says a prayer and then steps over the edge.
Featherfalling in the party plunges into the darkness
You hear a moan and the shuffling of feet below you.
Epik resists the urge to panic. "Someone cast a light spell!
do i see anything with my darkvision
perception
Nowzai casts daylight as you slowly fall and the darkness retreats in a blinding flash.
Epik moves up to power attack the zombie. "Bah, these foul undead must be destroyed!"
Landing in the light, Epik draws his blade and rushes forward. He easily cuts the middle zombie in half, and the creature folds over on itself. However, before he can turn to the others a red point of light expands rapidly exploding out with a concussive force that rocks the party and then into a glowing portal. The force shreds both of the nearby zombies blasting them away from Epik, but these too contain hidden portals within their dead flesh and explode near simultaneously.

Stepping out of the first portal is a monstrously tall and thin demonic creature, covered in a black substance with tattered bat wings. Epik recognizes it as the creature he fought in the Temple of Iomedae after confronting the false bishop. You see silhouettes of similar shaped creatures beginning to come through the other portals.
Epik will smite evil on the first creature and will then move to power attack. If the creature is close enough for a 5' step he will full round attack.

Exploding in a ferocious rage, the demodand lashes out at Epik with vicious alacrity, a veritable whirlwind with its vicious blades in each hand and a disgusting bite, cutting the paladin a myriad of times.
The paladin returns blows, forged with white fire and divine justice as he rips into the creature whose sticky skin pulls at the paladin's blade. [ooc]Epik make 3 DC23 Reflex Saves. Any failure results in the weapon being ripped from your grasp and subsequent attacks not happening. Requires a grapple check to recover)
Sam moves up to join Epik also infusing his weapon with holy power and also feeling the rug of the skin as he strikes a vicious blow spraying demonic ichor everywhere.
Jenya heals the party as Dalamus moves up.
Nowzai recalls an obscure reference from his knowledge of all things arcane
and realizes that he could interrupt the pending magic as if it were a counterspell with some sort of gate or planar ally spell or with a dispel magic.
Magma moves up to smash the demodand as well (if it's still standing).

Losing his sword on the third swing, Epik attempts to wrest the sword back as he simultaneously heals himself.
Nowzai focuses on the demodand coming through the left portal, casting an shimmering emerald ray at it before it comes through.
Reflex save
Nowzai's ray fires wide into the portal, distorted by the magic, it fires harmlessly off into the void.
Two more demodands step through the portals and move immediately to attack. Dalamus gets blindsided and shredded by multiple blows while Epik parries the feeble attack on his side.

Epik rips his sword away from the demodand and heals himself, but draws an attack of opportunity from the nearby fiend.
Sam punishes the demodand for his insolence, smashing it with an electrically charged strike and then following up with a clean removal of its head. He steps swiftly to the right and gets a single blow in on the remaining demodand.
Jenya moves up to heal Dalamus.

Seeing two of the fiends dispatched so quickly, Nowzai decides to conserve his spell power for the moment.
Dalamus fails to get a blow through and Nowzai waits.
Magma moves over and misses badly.
