Garrosh casts a spell to bolster himself and his companions.
Baldhart sees the giants cannot understand her warning. With vials still unclaimed, the fairy grabs one!
She is prepared for trouble. Whatever the crazy lady said doesn’t matter to her. Hanako must be revived.
Even if that means I…
The fairy tries to use Garrosh’s girth and the sacrificial stone to hide her diminutive body as she flits toward Hanako with the vial.
Garrosh knows when a byakhee successfully bites a living creature, it is swiftly driven to a frenzied bloodlust. For 1 minute after it bites a target, it gains a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against that target. A byakhee has no limit as to how many simultaneous bloodlust targets it can have at any one time, but it generally focuses on the same target once its bloodlust is engaged. It also gains these bonuses on attack and damage rolls against creatures taking bleed damage from any source.
As Baldhart tries to sneak across the threshold between the stairs and the hallway, there is a loud "Bamph!" sound and a flash of yellow light, as she is knocked back. Pitor, being forewarned by Baldhart being knocked back, manages to get partially out of the way of the blast.
The Byakhee flies over to Pitor, then lands and bites and grabs him.
The human moves up, pulls out a three-armed triskeleton and casts a spell on herself, and a yellow bubble forms around her.
Piotr recognizes the spell as shield of faith.
Baldhart looks up at her goddess’ long hair, prepares to leap up and force-feed her the healing potion… and she blacks out.
"What. Is. This!?!??! Piotr growls as he attempts to break away from the horrible critter.
"Ugly." Anne answers as she slips past him to attack the creature with her brother.
On the character’s next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point.

Kilarra uses her last pearl of power to reprepare Protection from Evil. She asks Garrosh "You wanna be up there, or should I?"
Ann manages to stab the Byakhee with one spectral dagger.
"Not sure what you mean" - Garrosh grunts at Kilarra, and casts a divine spell to bolster his combat prowess.
The badly-wounded fairy understands she cannot sneak toward Hanako without a distraction. She will make another approach, this time letting a giant lead the way.
She will use Kilarra’s (?) size as cover and fly stealthily, vial still in hand.
Baldhart seems to be able to sneak past the Byakhee and the human unnoticed.
The Byakhee begins to drain Piotr's blood, then releases, raking him with two of its claws before trying to bite him again.
The human begins to cast a spell then moves up to touch the Byakhee with it. "You've been annoyances to my plans thus far. It ends here now!"She declares.
No one has any idea what she is casting.
Ann shifts to flank with her brother, and they both swing to kill the modgepodge creature before it grabs him again.
Then Piotr shifts out of the way for others to join the fray.
Baldhart holds the vial between Hanako’s lips, and she pours the strange red liquid…
*gulp!*
While on the ground, she makes sure she still has her Endless Quiver. Her healing wand is in there!
Hanako finds that she has been stripped of her equipment.
Piotr manages to land a deep slash into the side of the byakhee.
Hanako transforms to free herself.
Kilarra notices that Piotr has shifted out of the way, and huffs her way over. Just barely in reach, Kilarra uses her sword to help strike the wounded horror-bat thing.
The ropes binding Hanako slip away as she transforms into her vulpine form. Kilarra moves over to swing clumsily at the Byakhee, that dodges.
Baldhart follows Hanako down from the Stela. The fairy is not sure what the crazy lady will think, but blasty magic cannot target her or Hanako.
Garrosh took a step behind Kilarra, and shot at the creature between his companions, after a split second to study its movements.
"Mae'r carcharor wedi dianc." The creature hisses in a siblant tone.
Mistress, the prisoner has escaped.
"Ni waeth, gallwn ei hail-lunio ar ôl hyn." The woman answers.
No matter, we can recapture her after this.
The Byakhee bites and claws at Piotr, then flies back.
"Stay." The woman moves back, then commands Piotr.
Piotr feels as if he was going to be immobilized, but manages to fight it off.
"She tried to... do something to me." Piotr tells anyone who can listen, then the two continue to try and hack their way through to her.
"Like kill you?" Kilarra snarks as she swings like a wild woman.
Piotr's strike is dodged by the Byakhee while Ann's daggers do not penetrate it's hide. Kilarra hits the wall with her swing instead of the Byakhee.
Hanako understands the words, but she can’t safely dart past two foes. She looks at her little fairy friend. She’s hurt too…
Baldy sees the fox’s dilemma.
She darts past the first enemy (to provoke), and gets by! But the second enemy…
Might knock the fairy from the sky!
Hanako zips past while Baldy distracts, and prays the fairy survives her crazy stunt.
The byakhee snaps at the nimble fairy as she ducks past, but snaps only at empty air.
The woman tries to stab Hanako with her rapier, but Hanako manages to zip past unscathed.
Hanako reverts to her human shape.
She says to the others, “They took my healing wand.”
She wants to thank them… but first they must survive, and a weakling drained of her magic can do nothing. At least not one who refuses to flee.
Ann looks in relief at her friend "Kilarra has it!" she tells her.
“Ah, thank you, Ann! Kilarra, please drop the wand. I will help!”
"It's on my belt. Take it and get everyone out of here." Kilarra barks. "We can't keep this up. PIOTR!! We got what we came here for. Let's go! Fighting retreat!"
Hanako isn’t so sure they can just leave, and she’d rather not tell her rescuers how to rescue, but…
“Kilarra… grateful as I am you are here, please believe me. That thing must die.”
She takes the wand. Retreat or not, Hanako will heal her friends as quickly as she can!
Baldy obeys Kilarra’s order!
"It can die tomorrow!" Kilarra snaps. It seems like there's more she could say, but Kilarra's 7 charisma is already running on full tilt.
Garrosh delays his actions, and waits to see if his companions decided to retreat.
"Yn ôl oddi ar rai. Rydw i'n mynd i sianelu." The woman commands.
Back off some, I'm going to channel.
The creature withdraws from Ann and takes 30 feet into the air.
Then the woman pulls out an inverted triskelion and bellows, "Think you can just snatch The King in Yellow's sacrifice and flee? You will not escape us!" Then a blast of yellow energy emits from her.
Hanako falls.
She’s stable… but she won’t be fleeing or healing allies.
"Get Hanako out of here!" Piotr yells "We'll delay them!"
Then the sister and brother surround the witch, trying to do what they promised they could.
Piotr's strike is deflected by a yellow bubble but Ann manages to stab the woman twice with her spectral daggers.
Kilarra will drop her sword, pick up Hanako, and pass her to Garrosh. "Live." She says, looking Garrosh in the eye.
"No" - the half-orc growls - "You go. She will want to see your face when she wakes up. She will not want to hear what I have to say"
Baldhart cannot stand all of the self-sacrificial gestures. Hanako does not fear the giants’ words! She fears they will die for her—she ran to them to heal them, but she was not strong enough…
The fairy will grab another vial if she can, and wake Hanako again.
"You'll be avenged." Kilarra swears.
"That is good enough for me" - Garrosh nodded.
Garrosh's first shot bounces off a yellow barrier, but one of his shots in the second volley hit her shoulder.
"Dewch yn ôl yma - cawn weld faint y gallwn ni ei gymryd yn fyw." The woman commands the creature.
Come back here. We'll see how many we can take alive.
The byakhee swoops down, placing itself between Piotr and the woman, then tries to bite him, but clanks off his armor.
"You see too much with those eyes of yours..." The woman snarls at Ann as she steps to the side and gestures.
Piotr recognizes the spell as blindness. Ann suddenly sees only darkness before her.
Baldhart will force-feed Hanako again.
