Kalim's milky white eyes begin to glow as his tumor flies up to guide his shot. He gathers all his strength and will and fires a powerful ray of disintegration directly at the fallen angel.

Does that make the save? if so, 5d6 of damage.
If the save made it then using the first 5 dice of damage that would be 24 points and the creature is clinging onto to its existence.
The crit even w the save
The ray hits its target and the fallen angle turns to dust.
*9 represents straight downward
* at Karnog, then working clockwise.
This items fall harmlessly to the ground.
The sound of the City on high alert rings loudly from all around you.
Grung grabs gear and shoves it in his bag
Karnog! We gotta go! Sorcerer! Put that illusion over us!
"It ...it worked?!? By the Void ..."
Kalim casts Veil to make them appear to be a drow caravan and guards.
Finally able to move, Desmond helps grab loot, shoving it into their bag of holding. "Come on, time to retreat! Don't push our luck!" Des says ironically while shoveling gear.
Karnog casts heal on himself, restoring all of his HP and curing the blindness. He then casts wind walk on himself, Grungsdi, Kalim, Desmond, and Felicitas.
"Aurora, I trust you can use your own speed, stealth, and sensory skills to get out with us. Nym, as much as I'd like to include you in this spell, I cannot affect everyone."
As everyone grabs what they can in the next 48 seconds or so, Karnog tells everyone what wind walk can do.
"We must make haste, I doubt anything chasing us can catch us, but we must be away. Nym, meet us back at the lich loremaster's. Your infiltration skills and magic should get you there. Take these if you need them."
Handing over 4 CSW and 1 CCW potions to the drow, he salutes him in the Dwarven fashion.
"Good luck, Torag guide you."
Once everyone is ready to move, Karnog heads out as fast as possible in wind form, heading away from these accursed tunnels.

Grung reaches down in his embiggend state and picks up Mym.
Not leaving any behind brother!
"Don't be so dramatic Karnog, our local royalty has more than enough upper body strength to carry our newfound ally out of harm's way."
Grung reaches down and squishes the Nym in his beefy arms. "My drow...I'm not leaving my drow."
As Nym comes to he bends down fumbling around for his sword. His hand brushes against it and he quickly grabs it as a giant hand lifts him from the ground. I better put this away before I get hit by that mind flayer. Quickly the sword disappears.
Felicitas moves to kalim and speaks up.
"Kalim, its me Felicitas. Take my hand. I will guide you!"
"With luck, the blindness will fade in a short while. Worst case, I can fix itonce I can eat in a place not so fouled by evil and undeath. For now, grab what you can, and let's be away. There's no telling what monstrosities will come now the fallen has been destroyed."
Karnog grabs the corpse of the mind flayer and crams it into his bag of holding.
"Now, which way out of here?"
Karnog's enlarged form reaches into the window to pull the dead mind flayer out. He stuffs the deceased into his supple leather bag before he casts his spell. The group each holding hands begins to mistify and fade into translucent particles of dust, With great haste you float away back into the tunnels.
You make it safely out of this level and are able to settle down.
At this point, you've caught the city unaware and quite a bit weakened. You notice they have not -yet - mounted a chase.
You are able to backtrack and work your way up the main tunnel. As you proceed you realize there are a few side tunnels secondary tunnels. These side tunnels are roughly 20 feet wide and 14 feet high. The stone is worked in few locations generally where there are interesting. You know these tunnels branch off the tunnel network and it's where commerce takes place. Eventually, you get to an area that looks familiar its a landing that opens up to be 20 to 25 feet wide and it's worked stone. The glow of fluorescent lichen offers the humans a bit of light.
There is no caravan there at this point.
Seeing the area empty and seemingly safe, for the moment, Karnog pulls up to the landing and begins to materialize.
"Well, that was extremely close and unpleasant. Kalim, without your timely spell, I don't want to guess what that creature would have done. And Grungsdi, you stood toe-to-toe with a fallen denizen of the higher planes, and gave as good as you got. I am truly impressed and blessed to have you as my adventuring companions, all of you. Well done, now let's take stock, make sure we know how to get back home, and try not to lead a horde of enemies their way with us!"
Agreed! Perhaps I might be worthy of the throne after all.
FYI: From a role-playing standpoint you may want to describe to your god some of what you observed, witnessed, and encountered. Remember your God is blocked from seeing inside that level so your first-hand insight would be helpful to him. Your party has accomplished something that is quite noteworthy and likely could bring tension between Orcus and Torag.
After the blindness subsides Nym walks over the Karnog.
As no one really objects Felicitas takes the belt.
"Well. That was ...intense."
Having spent most of the fight paralyzed, Des just chuckles. "Look let's get back to town, it's been a hell of a day."
As no one really objects Felicitas takes the belt.
Felicitas starts to tug the thick belt around her waist. She wiggles her fingers casting Prestidigation to clean up the unholy stink. She casts it again to add a bit of pastel color to make it her own.
"Looks good on ya, lass. Better than on that beast we defeated down below, for sure."
Karnog looks over the party, taking in their battered state, as well as his rather depleted resources of magic.
"Good solid work, everyone. We managed to slug our way through several fights that probably should have ended our days. But we managed to pull through, and that's what counts, right? For now, let me just seal up this entrance the giants punched into the mountain. Then, we can settle down at Orktown for a bit, grab some sleep and plan our next move. If anyone is interested, I'll be communing with the Creator at the forge for a while tonight and tomorrow morning early on. You're all welcome to join in, if you'd like."
At the entrance, formerly sealed against evil but smashed open by giants, Karnog turns back towards the tunnel leading into Rappan Athuk and squares his shoulders.
Craft Stonemason, casting fabriate.
With gestures and prayers in dwarven, Karnog causes a stone archway, with door and solid stone bar to form across the tunnel. After a minute and a half, Karnog turns back to the team with a confident smile across his face.
"Glad I was able to hold onto that one for so long. It feels good to create things again, and to see solid stone guarding the entrance to such a dangerous place."
When the group finally floats out and reemerges as sold from near the entrance the glow of cool sunlight breaks the horizon. It's early morning this late Fall day. The air is crisp and there is a smell of rain. The sound of songbirds chirping rings in the sky.
Karnog begins his magic. Everyone is having a bit of difficult time focusing in the daylight since your eyes are not use to the daylight after such a long time in near subtle light and darkness.
Those who were blinded are now able to see again. The effects have worn off. To anyone looking at Nym you see he is in real pain.

As the group progresses though the cave systems Nym drinks one of the potions that Karnog had placed in his pocket before he was lifted from the battle.
As the group draws near the cave entrance, Nym notices the glimmers of top side light pulls down his googles.

These spectacles have lenses made of smoked glass that help protect against creatures with gaze attacks. You are always treated as averting your gaze when dealing with gaze attacks, and you gain a +8 circumstance bonus on saving throws against visual-based attacks (any attack that a blind creature would be immune to). You have a –4 penalty on Perception checks while wearing the goggles, and all opponents are treated as having concealment (20% miss chance).
Note that the spell penumbra was changed into the higher-level spell protective penumbra. The cantrip version is similar, but does not replace its higher-level counterpart. So I technically no long have that spell I guess.
