Quiella comes to. She smiles gratefully at Ophelia and gives herself some additional healing, then cautiously tries to cast a spell, mumbling for Erastil to protect her. The spell fails, and she tries to crawl away from the Elemental.

Melufious pulls on some levers and twists a few knobs, and the altar appears to power down.
Ophelia reacts quickly to Quiella's unconscious state as she casts a powerful healing spell on the paladin.
Quiella's eyes flutter open and she smiles briefly as she uses her natural healing ability to supplement Quiella's spell. She then attempts to cast a spell defensively that fails as her concentration is broken. She then crawls 5 feet away and thankfully the elemental does not make an opportunity attack.
It does, however, move 5 feet to the east and attacks Ophelia with its two slams. Both attacks hit and now Ophelia is knocked low and dying on the floor.

Vailis makes a small wound on his hand, and takes a drop of his blood to cast infernal healing he then moves over Ophelia touching the varisian cleric.
The woman immediately stabilizes and starts slowly recovering health.
Meahwhile Coco is unable to keep slowly flying around the elemental, and the electrical creature movement forces him to move around. The eidolon profits to get into a flanking position and attack from there together with Valik.

Dusting his hands off with a smug, satisfied grin, Mel turns around and his jaw drops. Fear and despair flood over him. Without taking the time too think our cast defensively, the magus throws flames into the air while a feral howl rips from his throat.

Quiella reaches over to Ophelia and touches her forehead with a healing touch. Then she stands up.

Zeno fires two arrows at the lightning elemental and both hit their mark, doing some significant damage to the creature.
Valik moves erratically around the elemental to provoke an opportunity attack and it falls for his bait. However, its slam does not even come close to hitting him.
Vailis moves Ophelia and casts Infernal Healing on the unconscious cleric to stop her from dying. Meanwhile, his eidolon flies into a flank with Valik and claws the elemental for some minor damage.
Positioning his cone to avoid hitting his companions, Melufiuos casts a Burning Hands to shower the elemental in flames. Unfortunately, it dodges out of the way of the worst of the fire.
Quiella heals Ophelia back to consciousness, then finally stands up.
The lightning elemental next turns its ire to Melufiuos. Its first slam removes an illusory image, while the second only barely misses and also removes an image.

Trusting Valik to keep the thing distracted, Quiella murmurs a prayer for herself.

With his first arrow, Zeno destroys the lightning elemental which discorporates in a cloud of sparks.
As the group prepares to begin the ritual, everyone begins to feel a little sick to their stomachs, probably due their proximity to a large amount of pure Abysium.
Once everyone is ready, the Pathfinders begin the reattunement ritual using the items found in the previous room. The ivory statuette of of the lich Takaral is ground up as a material component, while onyx merchant’s scales act as a divine focus. The group also chants the magical incantation inscribed on the katana, and recites a prayer written upon the golden brick.

"Ah! This was tough" sighs Vailis as the elemental is finally dismissed. The half-elf looks at Zeno and his bow but comments nothing.
The summoner approaches Ophelia and cuts his hand again, his blood empowering another infernal healing casting. He smiles as soon as the wounds start closing again.
Vailis coughs a bit, but feels for the rest quite ok. He just joins his hands in the ritual and says the quickly learned words.

As the party finishes the ritual, you all notice a surge of energy is absorbed into the surrounding abysium metal, as the Codex said it would if the reattunement ritual was successful. After some healing up and verifying the ritual worked, you all prepare to leave.
Following Aram Zey's instructions, you all easily return to the Lantern Lodge through your entrance portals. Before you are even congratulated for a job well done, Aram Zey and Amara Li send a contingent of well-armed Pathfinders into the tapestry to secure the shrine and guard it from future Aspis Consortium harassment.
Afterwards, you are heralded as heroes for providing the Society with safe method of traveling between Absalom and Varisia, and for changing the tapestry’s very nature to the extent that Aram Zey and other members of the Spells branch of the Pathfinder Society can create new entry and exit points between the Hao Jin Tapestry and points throughout the Material Plane, allowing for near limitless potential for quickly traveling the world to conduct Pathfinder business.
