Esme's enduring might protects her somewhat from the attack
The holy warrior then attempts to slap a quick poultice on her to patch up her wounds.
She lashes out with her blade as well, counting on Crowley to do his work.
Finally, she speaks a word to raise a magical shield...
... but the magic doesn't come.
Still, she plans to deliver a retributive strike should the demon change its mind about its target.
Esme can't resist the onslaught, and the demon rolls over her, but she makes it pay with a hit. Crowley gets in a good hit, though this thing doesn't seem to bleed.
There's a shout from a female voice so loud that everyone hears it. It originates beyond the doors to the rear of the fight. It's too short to make out what she said...

Tully decides to gamble with a big spell. He makes a quick, but complicated, incantation and gesture, and a black disembodied wyvern tail appears above his head. He makes a sweeping gesture toward the creature holding Nakapan, and the tail streaks out to strike it.
Cast Wyvern Sting, with Reach
Success: take poison damage
Fail: afflicted w/wyvern venom, stage 1

Tully's spell connects and wounds the fiend, but the poison seems to have utterly no effect.

Black Dhougal tries yet another electric arc.
He steals a quizzical look at Sadlark, but as the sounds are inscrutable, he quickly returns his attention to the fight, moving into the morass in an effort to present a new target.

Crowley is Hastened...
Black Dhougal audibly gasps as Nakapan slumps to the floor. Oh no you don't, he says through gritted teeth, using some of his last potent magic to bring the ascetic back from the brink.
He takes a deep breath and moves adjacent to Green.
Tully reaches out and sucks the life out of GREEN

Esme steps closer to the demon fighting Nakapan, positioning herself to be able to deliver a retributive strike. "Begone from this world, fiend!"

He then shoots at the other field.

Sadlark rattles the bag of 7 greater healing potions.
Esme murmurs a prayer, raising her hand to the sky. As she does so, motes of white light begin to rise from the floor. Each mote provides succor to those it makes contact with, closing wounds.

She then helps feed potions to those with the greatest amount of injuries. Namely Nakapan.

Onward.
Crowley bursts through the doors as quickly as he can. "Let's get them."
Crowley opens the door to find a hall. He quickly advances again and opens the next door.
Elaborate clustered columns and ribbed vaults of the ceiling, combined with thick red carpet running from the southern doorway, draw attention to a richly engraved, red stone doorway in the northern wall—a doorway that appears to be filled with a smooth mass of stone emblazoned with a single, sinuous rune. To the east and west are fifteen-foot-wide alcoves whose pointed archways stretch nearly forty feet overhead. While the western alcove is empty, the eastern one contains a grisly apparatus of metal framework, smoldering incense burners, glass tubes filled with blood, glowing crimson crystals, and strips of raw flesh—all arrayed around a coffin-like enclosure. Reclining within is a red-haired woman’s partial corpse, the torso open to reveal its missing organs. All that remains is a slowly beating heart, its pulse filling the room with a low, rumbling repetition, as if from the heart of a titan as it struggles to return to life.
The scene within is difficult to parse. In the far right corner is an old man with a long beard and wizardly robes. He seems to be watching over the scene with a scowl.
A fully healed and furious Aliriel looks at the man, the corpse, and at you. She's torn as to what to do, but when the man speaks, she obeys.
"Aliriel, do your job and kill them!"
The party stops and catches their breath. In moments the floor is littered with empty vials and soaked gauze.

Sadlark narrows his eyes at Aliriel.
Crowley grows increasingly angry at this situation. "Experimenting on living people." he rushes the woman, looking to cut her open just as much as her poor tortured soul.

Esme moves in to get close to Aliriel, murmuring a prayer to Iomedae before releasing divine magic at the strigoi.
You know this man! It's the former head of Korvosa's Academy, Toff Ornelos. He went missing not long after Morkeleb the Mighty himself returned to the Academae
Crowley, seeing a completely healed strigoi, immediately rushes back in. There's a lot to make up for after being mazed earlier. He connects with a single swing.
Esme sees that the beating heart comes not from a dying soul, but is from a corpse being put back together! She tries to disrupt Aliriel with a quick spell
The strigoi strikes back. She retreats a bit from Crowley before she casts a spell that desiccates all living creatures save the old man.

Sadlark weathers the hurt, and moves into the room with a wry smile.
If it isn't Toff Ornelos, former head of Academy. Finally found, after missing all these years since Morkeleb the Mighty returned to the Academy. You were always reclusive; soon, all Korvosa will know you're a vile traitor too!
He turns to the vampiress and shakes his head. Aliriel, you've sacrificed the gift of eternal beauty at the feet of a withered old academic. Sorshen would cast you aside like trash.
His muse sings to him of schoolboys crushed under the heel of cruel academy masters:
But to go to school in a summer morn, -
O, it drives all joy away!
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The students spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
He makes sure to target the old man with the dirge of doom as an enemy, giving an emotive taste of dismal days spent locked away in a dismal classroom while the sun shines outside.

Black Dhougal moves into the room, only to curse at the sight of a fully healed Aliriel. Still, once more into the breach. He casts a spell at the Strigoi.

That "woman" looks just like Ileosa!
Black Dhougal shudders from the spell, countering with one of his own: and slowing her down just a bit.

Tully takes the magical hit and then returns it.
"You dare! You DARE! Mortal, you will regret my ire as you whimper before Pharasma! I shall retake my place!" His voice is booming, and doesn't seem to fit the old man.

Everything is coming down to the end. He remembers his halfling companions from a previous adventure. They assured him that things weren't over till a rotund woman started singing. It was a strange idiom that he never quite understood. But either way, there were no large ladies present, so he figured they still had a little time left.
The monk dropped his stance even lower and suddenly shot forward for a Wolf Drag take down and stomp time.
