The tentacles keep groping Akaash!
The creature steps backward and casts another spell, firing a black ray at Roger!! Feeling hemmed in, the creature's aim is off, and the ray misses!
Roger and Roo keep fighting the efil spellcaster.
"I can do this all day, buddy."
Alfonso will attempt another confusion, lesser on the outsider!
He'll then step east and draw his wand (in case the tentacles are done this round and the alch could use some stabilizing.

Roo lands a blow against the creature as it stops blinking!
Kafir misses!
Akaash falls to the ground, unconscious, as the tentacles disappear.
Algonso tries to confuse the creature, but fails.
The creature edges away from Roger! and Roo, and attack Kafir, hitting once.
Kafir cleches his jaw and keeps swinging at the stupid daemon!
Roger and Roo keep striking the creature.
Al moves hastedly to the fallen alchemist now that the concept isn't suicidal! He cures him, since he's not opposed to deific intervention!

Kafir continues to miss!
Roger! and Roo both land a hit on the the creature. It looks like it is almost finished!
Algonso moves back and heals Akaash!
Grateful to be still alive, Akaash rises to his feet and darts towards the door.
Akaash comes to and rises from the ground.
The creature steps southwest and quickly casts another spell, then reaches out to touch Roger!
The halfling proves too quick to be touched!
Akaash moves into the room, then tosses another bomb at the creature.
Roger and Roo step again and keep swinging.
Akaask manages to land a bomb! The creature hisses in pain as it falls to the floor!
Kafir throws his khopesh to the ground and sits down on the floor with a hmph! He is quietly reconsidering his choice to be a warrior, as he has seemed unable to hit anything in any appreciable way for quite some time.
Roo kicks the creature one last time as Roger sticks out his tongue at the meanie.
"Sir Roger, I wish to extend the offers of life to you and your companion." Al states dramatically. "I apologize for the lack of assistance earlier, but I was a little... Tied up."

"Thankee very much."
Akaash thanks Algonso, heals his wounds and loads his crossbow, ready to continue.
Looking around the room Kafir and Roger! followed the daemon into, you note antiques and other oddities fill this strange display room. A wide tapestry of green-and-gold silk, its design resembling a family tree of events and dates, covers one of the boarded walls. Small glass cases hold various curiosities, among them a rune-encrusted skull, an obsidian pyramid inlaid with gold filigree, and a bronze medallion. A testament to the bizarre range of keepsakes here is the very large stuffed grizzly bear corpse in the southwest corner. The preserved bear clearly hails from somewhere far away, as it flaunts a stylized suit of armor along its spine from skull to tail.
Kafir pokes the bear a few times before moving on to the next door.
Al will detect magic to try to find any magic things hiding in plain sight.
He looks to his faithless companion with a smirk, "Now, now; there is no need to poke every bear we come across, be it metaphorical or literal."

Akaash looks for traps, trying to avoid another close call for himself and his companions.
As Kafir pokes the bear, the damn thing growls and comes to life! The decaying taxidermic bear is held together with thick stitches, metal armor plates, and a pungent chemical fluid, but it moves none the less!

Desiring to keep the last Haste for a clutch moment, Al simply starts to Orate how the powers of Razmir could never be defeated by a mere "Demon Bear."
Also, he moves 10' west.

"Careful, its material allows it to resist damage well! Use adamantine if you can."
Grasping one of his bombs, he throws it at the beast while making sure he doesn't hit his friends.
"Ok, no poking bears from now on! I've learned my lesson!"
Roger and Roo will step closer to the bad demon bear and swing.
"Dumb bear!"
Algonso moves away!
Akaash tosses a bomb, hitting the bear!
Kafir swings twice, but misses both times!
Roger! and Roo attack, both landing solid, critical blows! The bear is looking even more ragged!
The stuffed bear lays into Roger! and Roo, wrapping Roger! in a bear hug!
Roger struggles with the bar.
Roo kicks the mean ursine.
Kafir, silently glad that the bear isn't attacking him, brings his blade down twice on the animal.
Roo and Kafir tears into the bear, stopping its attacks!
Searching the room, you find hanging on the wall, a tapestry recording every game of betrayal some sort of creature has arranged in her days outside the city of Cassomir. A brief study of the names and dates shows that the creature has engineered the ruin of hundreds over the last several generations, going as far back as the time of Taldor’s First Army of Exploration. Her activity increased every few centuries until the last generation, and her games ended dozens of lives.
Searching the room the daemon came out of, you find a decrepit library, its walls lined with leaning wooden shelves. Both tomes fill the straining shelves and sit in tall piles on the floor. A few desks and a long table are also piled with books, scrolls, broadsheets, and almanacs that lie atop one another, obviously part of an ongoing research project. Looking through the records, you find public decrees, marriage announcements, notes of succession, and other information that could be used to cause betrayals.
After healing up, you enter the final room, the master bedroom. This master bedroom rivals any luxury suite. A four-poster bed stands against the west wall, and windows lean out over the porch below. Two tables are set against the wall next to the bed, and a wardrobe sits next to the door in the east wall. An inset in the south wing of the room holds an old iron tub nearly ten feet in length and a handsome wooden washbasin. Despite this room’s romantic appearance, dust and grime coat it from floor to window to wardrobe. The translucent figure of an angry woman materializes and shouts as she glides through the air! You recognize this woman as an ephemeral echo, like you fought in the streets of Cassomir.
"Not this again!" Kafir hefts his khopesh and appraoches the woman, hoping it has some effect against the spirit.
Kafir swings his khopesh through the incorporeal form!
The echo reaches out and touches Kafir, sucking charisma from the otherwise charismatic man! At the same time, her form becomes more solid!
Kafir's form grows darker and more lopsided. He starts swearing unceasingly as he swings at the solid form!
Algonzo will begin to more emphatically, a la Bard Song! +2s all around (except for the heathen, most likely.)
Roger and Roo step forward and strike(or attempt to) the ghostly woman.
Kafir swings and lands one strike!
Algonso begins to inspire the party!
Akaash tosses a bomb, but it misses!
The bomb still splashes, burning it a bit!
Roger! strikes the echo once!
The echo, still corporeal, lashes out, striking Kafir!
Roger and Roo keep swinging.
"Don't let it touch you! If it does it'll turn incorporeal temporarily."
Akaash grasps another bomb and throws it at the creature.
Kafir takes a solid hit but keeps swinging at the undead spirit!
