Great, upright stones dominate this room, evenly spaced out to allow for easy passage between them. The stones have been perfectly carved to form bookshelves, each with six different shelves containing various books, notes, maps, and other crammed-in documents. A perpetual thick gray fog covers the floor of this room to a height of six inches, and most of the documents on the lowest shelves of the bookcases appear to have rotted away because of condensation from this fog,giving the room a pungent, musty aroma.
Spotting a Lemure on the other side of the door Carerris shuts the door.

As the Lemure comes through the door the party starts a brutal assault on the devilish creature. Braoin's acid misses the target darting into the room beyond and the guard dog misses with his bite.
Eskis' sword, Dresden's bolt, Carerris' arrow all connect with the target but the blows seem to be absorbed in the puss ridden mass.
Diminian and Kazbaz also land blows with Club and Mace and there attacks seem to damage the creature.
The Lemure ambles forward clawing at the dog.
The dog easily alludes the creatures attack.

Dimimian's club and the dogs bite miss the devil. Likewise, the ranged trio all fail to find the mark. Kazbaz's mace connects with the gooey flesh but the blow seems muted. Only Eskis strong slash with his bastard sword seems to damage it.
The mindless wretch seems to respond to the pain and turns and attempts to rake Eskis with it's claws.
It's attempts are woeful at best.
Suddenly! A magic missile flies through the door landing on the guard dog.

The Lemure proves to continue to be troublesome to take down, Carerris misfires with her bow. Dresden's bolt misses, as well as the injured dog's bite. Diminian swings and misses with the club.
However, Braoin is on target with his bolt, it lodges into the reeling flesh. Kazbaz also mashes it with his mace. Neither blow does much damage, but does some. Finally, thanks to flanking with Kazbaz, Eskis slices the creature as it focuses on the gnome, the tengu's blade drives deep leaving the devil in a heap.
As the Lemure drops you get a better look at Archive beyond, a tall, dark Cheliaxian woman, wearing deep purple robes, holds a wand in one hand, she cries out in a snotty tone.
Why have you intruded on my family's home!
She unleashes another magic missile from the wand at the dog.
The force of the missile drops the dog unconscious with a yelp.
The mistress moves to the back of the room wand at the ready.
Leave now, or it won't only your mangy animal left dying on the floor

Eskis first to act rushes forward right up to the Celeena Deckland.
Next, Braoin dashes in and fires, catching his foe.
Indeed Braoin's shot is a critical hit on Celeena.
Diminian fires and misses.
Kazbaz moves in also seeking cover.
Dresden moves into the room utilizes her mental focus to unleash a ray of energy, electricity.
Dresden's mental focus is particularly strong and the ray lands a strong blow on Celeena, a hint of smoke rises from Celeena's robes as the electricity cackles from Dresden's hand.
Carerris moves into the doorway.
Firing her bow.
Her arrow lands.
The party gets in some good hits on Mistress Deckland, but she is still up and fighting.
As Eskis steps, forward Deckland steps back. And begins casting a spell.
This gives Eskis a chance to attack swing his Bastard Swords wildly.
He misses and a vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from her hands.
Eskis tries to avert his eyes.
Unfortunately, the birdman can't stop from seeing the pretty colors and is unconscious, blinded, and stunned.
Then still blinded and stunned for
and then stunned for 1 round.
Effectively taking him out of commission.
