After the casting of the spells Relan moves his boat in.
After casting buffs and summoning monsters , the party rows the boats forward carefully.
As Relan pushes the seaweed aside to force the boat through, he looks up and true to their guess, he counts six giant water spiders on the ledge or on the water in front of them. A couple turn to look at the party and as the valiant fighter raises his polearm to take them on, a small blue head appears over the edge of the ledge.
It smiles and waves at the party and then clicks its tongue. The spiders immediately scurry back towards the mite and adopt a relaxed stationary posture, pulsing up and down on their eight legs.
Vuloo lowers his crossbow, "Andel, tell the mite that we are friends of Brikbrak and that we will assist their tribe if he allows us to pass."
Andel speaks back and forth with the mite for a few moments, shouting up the ledge and then finally turns back to the party quickly, nearly overturning the rowboat.
Once he rights himself, he says "Um, this one recognizes us from before and will escort us through to the stairs below."
Relan nods with some relief, not waning to have to kill the spiders if he does not have to, and rows hard to dock the boat.
After Relan docks the boat, Vuloo climbs out and winks at the mite, "Gentlemen and Braelex, let us return to visit our friend the ghoul."
Passing with the mite escort through the vermin lair, they bid you farewell at the top of the stairs down to the next level, where you find Brikbrak waiting for you to return back from beneath. After a few moments of confusion, he gets straightened out and the party heads down the stairs past the ancient statue of Alaznist from whence Relan's ranseur came and south through the doors. As you turn east, however the smell of charred hair and brimstone hits you like a wall and the sounds of growls and perhaps even inhuman voice speaking are just barely evident.
It comes from the east and is far off enough that you cannot make out any details, but it most certainly wasn't there the last couple times you came through here.
Alerting at the sound Relan looks to the others before heading east. He motions the group with a quite nod in that direction.
Vuloo nods at Relan and motions to proceed in the direction of the voices.
The party follows Relan around the corner and traces the smell and sounds to the north. They turn to the east back towards the entrance to the water area when they see the door at the end of the hall close shut.
Relan advances, weapon ready.
Sensing danger, Vuloo establishes a life link with Relan.
Aidon Init -
Amiculus Init -
Aidon will move up with the rest of the team but not do anything until he see's what is in the room
Braelex moves up to take a position near the door, quickly and quietly listening for activity on the other side. Aidon follows and the warriors move in and take a defensive posture near the door.
Rustling and movement can be heard on the other side of the door as well as the slight crackle of flame. The scent of scorched hair and brimstone is strongest here.
Andel moves forward but pauses halfway down the hall and draws an arrow back on his string aiming at the door.
Pausing to make sure his teammates are ready Relan will step forward and open the door if nothing happens in the mean time.
Fulmen Casts Shillelagh and follows Relan into the room to attack the nearest threat.

Braelex readies her crossbow and Aidon peers expectantly next to him. Relan looks to the party once and then steps forward throwing the door open ...
... and is immediately engulfed in flames as fire shoots from the doorway spraying across the warrior and Fulmen
; Reflex Save DC14 for half
Standing across from him is a creature resembling a thin, lanky wolf with reddish-brown fur, white claws, and burning, fiery red eyes.
Behind the wolf-like creature are several nupperibo and lemure all moving and jockeying for position.
Round 2
Vuloo double moves forward.
Relan totally fails his reflex save and takes the full 6 points of fire damage.
He recognizes the beast and, stepping back 5', proceeds to stab it, using a full two handed power attack.
Braelex fires at the thing in the doorway, then reloads.
;
Will continue my previous post of casting and attacking. Round 3 I will also attack. Target hellhound.
Save from fire.
Fulmen takes no damage from the flames.

Braelex catches the hound in the flank with a bolt as Relan stumbles backward to try and evade the flame. The warrior steadies himself and stabs out with a vicious blow causing the hound to yelp and stumble, but it holds its ground.
Fulmen enhances his quarterstaff and steps in front of Relan blocking the door.
The nupperibo and lemures shuffle behind the hell hound and one of the fleshy creatures moves in next to the hound to attack Fulmen clawing him for a minor wound.
Vuloo advances while Andel fires into the melee, striking the hound between the eyes and dropping it.
A spread of grease appears under Relan and Fulmen.
On the other side of the room, a flying imp appears next to Aidon and Braelex attacking the summoner with its poison stinger

Relan falls prone, He uses his move action to stand and then attacked the lemure.
Relan recalls enough info from previous fights and recent research that the devils have resistance to weapons that are neither silver nor aligned with good deities. He recalls specifics about the imp, that they can travel invisibly, have powers of suggestion and divination, and infernal healing along with their other devil immunities.
Round 3
Vuloo takes a 5 foot step south and casts hold person on the imp (DC17).
In that case Vuloo will take the 5' step and fire his crossbow at the imp.
Fulmen takes a 5ft step to the north and holds action for something to get into melee range.

Braelex pulls out an extract and gulps it down, turning invisible a moment later.

Aidon moves away ducking under an attack from the imp, and summons his eagles again. The eagles claw and bite at the imp, who giggles hysterically until one gets a claw through cutting it.
Relan rises and cleaves the lemure in half.
Braelex drinks her potion and moves without incident as the nupperibo stumble in behind the sceond lemure and stab fruitlessly at Fulmen who hammers back at the creature crushing its skull. The second lemure flows into the doorway and swings its arms recklessly scoring two hits on the druid.
Vuloo and Andel fire at the imp and misses. The creature laughs evilly and disappears.

Relan does not have to move to slice at the new lemure that steps up and attacks the druid.
Round 4
Vuloo casts bless on the group.
Invisible, Braelex kneels by the entrance and holds her crossbow up, waiting for a clear shot.
;
Aidon casts a quick spell, hastening the movements and muscles of himself the front line and Braelex.
Braelex levels her crossbow and looks for an opening, Vuloo standing in her way.
The nuperibo continue to line up, the front one striking with its spear but nearly drops it in its shaky hands.
Relan stabs at the new lemure and drops it and with the enhanced speed takes another jab at the Nuperibo skewering it as well.
Fulmen steps forward and attacks the last remaining visible foe, the final nupperibo beating it to a pulp.
Vuloo blesses the party and Andel draws back his bow waiting for the imp to reappear, but first a buzzing child accuser devil, the style like you saw earlier but with a different cherub face, appears south of Relan and bites at him, fangs dripping with acid and foulness. They sink deep burning and passing infection.
The imp appears hovering north of Relan, and Andel lets off his shot missing wide. The cackling flying devil stabs its stinger into the warrior's shoulders poison pumping into his arm.

Damnation, I forgot to get some silver bolts! Braelex silently curses her lack of preparedness. Wait, Vuloo has them...
Invisibly, Braelex sidles behind Vuloo and snatches a few silvered bolts from the halfling's quiver, dropping one into her crossbow's notch.
Fulmen walks through the grease to attack the imp

Goodberry:
Relan constitution proves more resistant to poison that disease and he shakes off the sting. He steps 5' out of the grease to stand beside the Imp and attacks the Accuser Devil twice with his reach weapon.
Round 4
Vuloo heals Relan for 5 HP via the lifelink.
Vuloo withdraws to the square behind Andel.
Aidon's eagles move in to surround the imp as best they can, getting in quite a few blows and while the imp shrugs off most of it, it starts to bleed a bit.
Braelex loots around in Vuloo's backpack, slipping out a handful of silver bolts without the halfling or anyone else noticing. She loads one into her crossbow. Relan steps to the north out of the grease and takes a couple powerful jabs and the child-like devil fly, gouging it massively causing it to hiss and spit acid as vile devil ichor sprays from its abdomen.
Fulmen joins Relan near the grease swinging at the injured imp and bludgeoning it out of the sky, unconscious and bleeding, although the creature's wounds are visibly stitching themselves up.
Vuloo moves by Andel and the bard fires a covering shot at the buzzing devil but misses again. The two of them sigh at each other until the ground around them swarms with spiders which clamber over them biting and distracting
The injured accuser devil moves north chasing Relan and attacks him again chomping just short as the warrior fends him off with the half of his weapon. A second devil appears to the east of Fulmen and chomps on to his shoulder, the sizzling of his flesh apparent to all as the little demon lets out a child-like giggle. This one you recognize as Lord Baz.
The imp opens its eyes on the ground and cringes, disappearing from sight.
