Silvash easily makes it into the back room where the priest is standing in front of some circle chanting while candles and incense burn along five points as if summoning something.
Ibrah holds the orb proudly above his head and nothing happens save a quick attempt on his life by a nearby monk.
He feels the breeze of the scimitar as it flashes by his face. The monk's footing was bad, so not only did he miss the shot, he slipped in the process.
Gorrim hesitates to use this magic, but decides it might be the best time.
Following an incantation, a giant pit opens up and swallows the cauldron. The pit is 10 feet wide and very deep.
The captive dwarves hug the wall as the pit is but ten feet in front of them and about ten feet behind the misty melee.
With a wave of the arm, Thaane develops the black smoky cloak and appears to follow Silvash's path carefully.
The cantankerous red dwarf cries out. Push them into the pit!
At the dwarf's signal, Khartelosch lowers his powerful shoulder and bull rushes his assailant, hoping to send him into the pit.

Although the first sword misses it's mark, the second one connects with the sternum to slice a deep gash across the chest of the monk he was facing.

Silvash casts True strike and then moves as quietly as possible next to the priest opposite the demon.

Miraculously, Silvash goes undetected as he approaches the priest concentrating on the summoning of a devil. Thaane is mesmerized by the seen as he appears to be in some sort of trance.
Khartelosch continues to get pummeled by 4 of the nine remaining monks. One, severely maimed by Verrin studies the tiefling as the monk grips his bleeding chest. The monks who only detected Khartelosch are starting to recognize that there are other traitors amongst them.
Ibrah finds himself now exposed inside the fray with a deep pit on his right and a melee to the left and front of him. Of course he could lead the retreat, but that has never been his style.
Ibrah works his way a few feet away from the fight, muttering as he goes. His Glaive appears in his right hand, the butt of the polearm tucked into the small of his back and the tip extending to his side. Still muttering, he extends his left arm to the monks, palm up, and gestures for them to approach.

Verrin makes another attack on the monk he nearly killed.
Verrin's flash of temple swords finish off another monk as the count drops to 8.
Gorrim pauses a split second as he considers another shrapnel burst, but then realizes that he would hurt his new companions as well. Instead, with a quick incantation and use of the spell pouch, the stone floor rumbles as vines burst forth from it to entangle their foes.
As the monks attacking him suddenly have to deal with vines sprouting up to entangle them, Khartelosch takes a swing with his greataxe at the one on his left and then tries to somersault 15 feet out of their range.

Khartelosch misses his attack, but the badly injured Half-Orc forward rolls away from the crowd drawing three monks after him and into the waiting reach of the ready Ibrah.
Thaane stands transfixed while the summoning of the devil is complete and the priest is coming out of full concentration from this activity.
Who has disturbed me? the demon inquires.
Servant, make haste and slay my foes. In service to Zon Kuthon. the priest exclaims.
Silvash attacks the unsuspecting priest.

Push them into the pit! Gorrim calls out.
Khartelosh circles to line up two of his monk foes and bull rushes them toward the pit.
From the tip of its lashing tail to the serrated features of its fang-filled visage, this fiery-eyed sentinel bristles with barbs.
The priest commands the creature to attack Silvash.
The creature whips it's spiked tail around the small room sending it strait towards Silvash.
Silvash is removed from the fight as the devil's tail thrusts through his chest, I'm paling him briefly before pulling it out and watching his body drop to the floor.
Khartelosch succeeds in pushing one disciple into the pit again, but is attacked for doing so by the one next to him.
