Kleth considers the description of the creatures to give insight to his allies as to what they are and how to slay them.
Knowledge Planes .
Kleth closes his eyes concentrating on his family heirloom and once more brings forth magical force to smite these foes!
Use Bonded Object to cast Magic Missile Target the same foe that was struck by the Missile last round.
Closing in carefully, Gavin circles around the creature fighting Oryx, allowing an advantageous approach against the foe. Trusting in his innate luck, Gavin lounges forward with a slash of his blade.
Oryx then comes around to take advantage of Gavins flanking and brings his staff ovehead to clock the creature.
Watching her companions swarm the creatures, Kyli felt like she needed to do the same. Moving to an advantageous position, she hefted her axe and then let it fall.
Kyli strikes the creature with all her might but most of the strength behind her attack seems to be absorbed by the thing's skin. It turns towards her and lunges with the serrated sword in its hand but she parries its attack as it gets distracted by the impact of Kleth's magic.
Gavin's strike misses the creatures and Oryx dies too. A weird and foul smelling wormlike tongue appears in its mouth as it tries to slash at the dwarf and wounds his back.
He also realises that the lack of light gives demonic creatures the advantage as they usually have darkvision
Menrozzar continues swinging his flail about, attempting to beat the creature down with his strength in battle.
Oryx takes the hit then tries to return it with a wild swing of his quarterstaff.
then takes a step behind the stone pillar he summoned for cover.
"This doesn't seem ta be workin'. Anyone got any other ideas?"
"We battle, Vermleks, cold iron or good aligned weapons are our best bet. Let Light guide your blades my friends, come towards the light!"
Kleth casts Light on one of his torches and throws it towards the battle. It is not much but then there is not much to be done...
Menrozzar shouts, "Could anyone bless my weapon to fight against these creatures?"
Gavin casts half an eye back toward Kleth. "Cold iron you say?!" Switching his short sword to his offhand, he draws his mace. While rarely used, it seems the perfect item for this occasion.
Gavin's attack hits the creature that turns hissing as the rotting head of the body it occupies explodes in a mist of blood and flesh and the wormlike tongue opens as a stinking bulbous purple flower, the thing is clearly hurt.
Gavin's smile at the feel of impact turns to a look of horror as the worm maw opens before him, "Guys, I don't think it liked that! A little help perhaps?"
Angered by the elusiveness of her quarry. She growls and follows with a massive overheard chop, eliciting a grunt for her efforts.
Kyli's axe cuts through one of the arms of the creature and a foul viscous liquid exits thorugh the wound as the demon turns towards her and tries to stab her with his sword but Menrozzar's flail clashes with it protecting his friend.
The vermlek facing Gavin cuts deftly against the halfling striking his back, the bard feels a cold sensation where the serrated blade touched his skin.
Gritting his teeth, Menrozzar continues wailing on the vermlek in front of him with Kyli in the hopes they can kill the thing and then dog pile the second one.
"Azuth, let your Divine Grace empower the weapons of my friends and send these spawn back to the Abyss from whence they came!"
Reeling in pain from the demon's attack, Gavin draws back his mace once and again and swings at the horrid beast.
Gratified that she finally connected, she came back with a vicious backhanded chop. She was not sure whether or not it was false confidence, but she just that one solid blow made it feel like the tide was turning.
Oryx grabs some stones from the floor and empowers them while behind one of his stone shields then backs away to make some distance between himself and the creature.
The wounded creatures cry in pain as the one facing Gavin says something to the other and they turn towards the halfling.
Not waiting for an invitation, Kyli attacked the things as it tried to move past her but she feared she was too hasty in her attack.
Menrozzar swings his flail at the thing as it goes to leave, not wanting to allow it to escape without killing it.
As the creature moves to strike Gavin both Kyli's axe and Menrozzar's flail strike it, with a huge cry the body seems to implode for a second and then from the chest burst a purple worm, almost as long as a human is tall. On the groun the clothes and armor cover the empty skin of what once was a man.
The creature gets behind the bard and tries to bite Gavin's neck but it's too slow. The other thing grabs his sword with both hands and tries to get advantage of the distraction but the archeologist is to swift for its slash.
Gavin shrieks slightly, "Okay, so I could REALLY use some help!!!" Trusting in his luck... and his cold iron mace, he swings at the creature he has already struck twice.
Menrozzar charges directly at the one he's injured thus far, intent on killing it. As he does, he shouts, "Try to move out of their flank!"
Seeing Gavin harried by the foes, Kleth moves behind him and casts a spell to aid him against the demonic worm creatures.
Oryx, armed now with three magic stones, cocks his arm back and shoots it forward, flinging the stone toward the demonic figure.
Kyli chases after the worm, hoping to kill it before it could infect anyone else.
Trying not to be completely surrounded by these horrid beasts, Gavin gives up his advantageous position against the creature heat beef been fighting by shifting slightly to the side.
