"A Rawbones! Undead!" Mohktar shouts and bring his weapon to bear, the old Temple Sword held at the ready, it's ancient magics alive in his hands. "Only weapons of magic and silver can harm it."
He launches into a flurry of sword strikes attempting to keep the undead filth pressed in the room. But he knows he'll need his friends to surmount this challenge an takes a step back towards the hallway.

Shiko moves to attack the letters on the wall.
Unsure of what to do against the creature yet, Pratavh concentrates moment and his allies feel an awareness of what will happen in the next few seconds.
Lilly whispers a word and her longsword is sheathed in bright flames.
She heads for the abomination and strikes at it.
The foul undead moans and a stream of black lumpy vomit dribbles down from the corner of it's mouth to splatter wetly on the floor! Suddenly you are violently assaulted by the most unimaginable stench, and you all feel terribly queasy as your stomach starts doing flips as your dinner tries to escape!
Everyone but Shikyomaru (far enough away), Lilly and Mohktar are nauseated!
Choosing to ignore the stench in an act of supreme will, Mohktar moves quicker than a flash to unleash a furious but deadly accurate sequence of strikes against the hideous undead monstrosity!
With frightening speed, the disgusting creature retaliates, smacking out with both powerful fists. It's arms glisten disgustingly with the meat and sinew exposed! However Mohktar is simply too fast to be caught out.
Pratavh tries to activate his aura, but keeping his lunch in is all he can concentrate on ans he stumbles away and suddenly feels much better!

Shikyomaru slashes at the letters with great force, opening a rent in the wall. Some of the wood paneling comes away and the letters on it fade. However the letter 'k' appears on the wall, and Shikyomaru is gripepd by a terrible migraine, complete with bizarre multi-colored auras left by the trails of his sword!
Barely holding his gorge down, Alwyn staggers back out of the fetid cloud!
Lilly moves in to strike, but the abomination flicks out one meaty fist in an attempt to block her advance, but it clangs uselessly on her breastplate!
Lilly manages to score a long slash on the creatures arm in retaliation and she's disgusted to see the surrounding flesh turn white cauterized like so much meat in the pan!

"Pratavh, Alwyn, stay focused my friends! Maintain your distance, your magics are the key!" Mohktar shouts as he whirls his sword in a dizzying pattern and moves forward to press the attack along with Lilly.

Mohktar moves in and attacks, but the footing is slippery and several of his lunges are a fraction off in result. He does score one good hit however on the repulsive thing's back as it turns away from the monk.
The creature enraged by the burn Lilly gave it, reaches into it's exposed bowls to pull out a loop of fetid intestine. It begins swirling this disgusting rope like a lasso and it throws it over her head and begins to reel her in!
When the creature comes in to lasso Lilly, it exposes it's belly to her. She rams her sword up the hilt. It screeches and comes anyway.

Words not fit for a lady erupt from Lilly's throat.
Lilly grips the intestine firmly and looks at the thing furiously.

Between the creatures smell and the sight of it's entrails wrapped around Lilly's neck; it's all Alwyn can do to stay in the room at this moment. Forget trying to speak or act, his feet acting of their own accord begin to back away from the creature.
Alwyn begins to sing in that strangely comforting tone that causes you to react faster, swing harder, and more fearless. . His tune is about a fighter from the wild lands and as he continues you also feel faster as the tempo of the tune speeds up. The words have changed but the meaning is imparted and understood.

Pratavh isn't nauseated, but can't do much from there.
Shikyomaru's headache gets steadily worse, and convinces the letters are stealing his soul, he smashes a large chunk out of the wall in a frenzy! His actions reveals a hidden compartment, containing a partially mummified human skull! The skull winks at him! Suddenly his headache vanishes.
Alwyn casts Haste!
Lilly sends pure positive energy flooding into the undead abomination, burning it hideously!
Mohktar's sword bites repeatedly into the undead's neck and shoulders, decapitating it! It falls to the floor twitching.
COMBAT OVER!
OR IS IT?
There is a loud peal of thunder and the boy bursts in screaming "Mujhē bacā'ō!". He's being chased by three hideous perversions of cherubs. These bloated childlike blasphemies conjoin the features of a plump human infant and a gigantic, gore-fattened fly!
From upstairs there is an ominous cackle of laughter...
Shiko hides
Lilly has little time to kick the fallen Rawbone, as she sees the devils appear.
"GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE KID, I'VE JUST BEEN GRABBED BY AN ENTRAILS AND AM IN NEED TO VENT ANGER AFTER THAT DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE!"

Hearing the commotion, Alwyn turns towards the door and seeing the little one, his resolve hardens.
dropping inspire courage to yell at the house in general, Lingering performance will continue bonus for 2 rounds
you shall not have one more little one, house! Even if I have to burn you to the ground myself!
In a blind panic Pradip runs up the stairs, pursued perhaps 10 - 15 foot back by the devils.
You hear a flutter of wings from the lounge and another cackle! Suddenly the lights grow dim and the shadows begin to lengthen crazily!
Shikyomaru vanishes, Lilly shouts, Alywn raises his bow and hits the lead Zebub twice, the thing screams with a sound like a human child!
The ONI show's it's face at last...

In a flash of sickly yellow, the devils vanish.
Pratavh yells out, "Those devils just went invisible! Watch for them." He quickly moves up with the rest of the group and then casts a spell, a web appears in the hall, hopefully between the devils and the stairs up. "The kid went up, we'd better follow him."
"We'll want to focus on one, two at most, at a time.
And guys, get close to me, i can give a blessing against evil."

As the vile rawbones falls, Mohktar hears the child scream in terror. The monk is horrified to see the little one fleeing into the house and up the stairs! Worse still, the three abominations following him threaten the calmness in his center as the creatures seek greedily for the child.

Shiko slashes at the shadows that get close to him
Drop to the floor boy! Shiko shouts in Vudrani Hoping that the fool child will listen and NOT go further into the house.
Like a machine, Alwyn launches four arrows in as meany heartbeats. All but the last one strike the greater shadow, puncturing through it to tear out puffs of inky shadow essence! Visibly diminished, the shadow moves among the party with frightening speed raking Alywn with one void cold claw!
Another greater shadow falls upon Mohktar, and it's searing touch chills the flesh of the monk, making his limbs feel heavy and his sword sluggish.
The smaller shadows unable to see Shikyomaru, swarm the boy cowering behind him! Pradip easily ducks from one attack but the other grazes him and he feels a blast of grave cold numb his arm, sapping him of strength!
Another small shadow, this one shockingly fast rakes out at Lilly, but she nimbly dodges back out of harms way!
Mohktar can not see any of the evil cherubs, but instead he defends himself against the shadow bearing down on him! His sword connects once and twice with a bow that should have neatly decapitated any normal opponent. The shadow looses some essence but no where near as much as Mohktar hoped...

Lilly slashes twice at the shadow.
Lilly slashes twice at the smaller shadow, it's unpredictable fast movements makes it hard to hit, but she strikes once, and then twice! her blows slice off little puffs of shadow stuff - still the wounds are less impressive than she might have hoped.
An incorporeal creature has no physical body. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits and precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality. In addition, creatures with the incorporeal subtype gain the incorporeal special quality.
Shikyomaru hits the nearest shadow closest to the boy three times with great precision! If it had been a man, it would have died on the first blow yet it takes three blows to dispatch it into inky shadow essence that fades into the background!

Alwyn feeling a bit weaker drops the bow to his side drawing his sword as the shadow moves into melee range. Resuming the song that he had dropped earlier Alwyn turns his attention back to the shadow.

Pratavh begins casting, careful to avoid the shadow's attacks and attention. Managing to avoid allowing the thing to attack him, he finishes his spell and a spiked ball of pure force appears and flies at the large shadow in front of him.
Shikomaru, moving furiously into action, spins his blade into a blur!
Shiko concentrates hard and the air shimmers around him, it looks as if shadow clones have begin mirroring his movements.
Hand glowing with a nimbus of power, Pratavh reaches out to touch the smaller shadow. A thunderous detonation of force flings the abomination back, shattering it into a cloud of shadow esscence which boils away into nothingness...
The oni tries to break loose from it's bonds, but it's useless they're too sicky!
With a graceful economy of motion, Alwyn lunges at the shadow skewering it! It's shadow essence bleeds out into the ether!
The shadow fighting Mohktar swipes at him, but the monk is far too nimble and dances back out of harm's way.
The smaller shadow lunges at Pradip and sinks it's etheral talons deeply into the boy. He screams!
With a crack of thunder, an apparition appears of a beautiful ghostly woman with eyes that blaze with greenish fire. In an unearthly voice she commands, "Pradip, SLAY THEM!"
The boy cowers but shouts his defiance, "Nā! Āpa śātira kutiyā, tuma maiṁ aba tumhārī madada nahīṁ karēṅgē, mērē dōsta kō māra ḍālā."
The ghostly woman laughs horribly as she casts a spell, hands glowing a sickly yellow! Suddenly everything becomes terribly confusing, and it's hard to keep track of friend and foe!

The blade in Mohktar's hand feels heavy, his muscles burning with the exertion to merely wield the weapon. The demon smoke it drains my strength... The monk summons his will and redirects his attacks, opting for his hand and feet while ticking the temple sword away parallel with his right arm in a reverse grip.

Mohktar steels himself and enters an advanced kata and quite literally shadow boxes with a 1-2-3 punch combo, a foot sweep which misses followed by an upper cut which knocks a cloud of shadow stuff from the undead horror!
Lilly casts protection from evil communal. The silvery radiance everyone's fight, and almost providing Shikyomaru enough protection to uncloud his mind. Sadly it's not enough and the ninja manages to cut himself on the foot with his own katana as he swings it wildly!

Lilly feels the beating of wings as the Zebub flies in invisibly, she swipes wildly with her sword, unable to pinpoint it exactly, but by fluke she manages to score a solid hit!
The zebubs attack! Lilly and Pratavh easily evade their bite, but Alwyn in his confused state is easy prey, and gets a nasty bite on the shoulder...
