Alice will you head back along the secret doors that still remain open, you quickly hear the sounds of battle.
Round 15
It attacks with its three free limbs on Ulricha again as it holds the paladin with his other tendril squeezing him tighter.
(non lethal damage - plus grab)
I've no idea where Roci and I have managed to retreat to. Any chance we see/hear any of our compatriots? And especially, are we in a position to provide support, such as raining death down from above?
Hearing a roar indicating more battle Jorraste moves up the hallway to a door and takes his natural shape and tries to open the door.
Round 15
Still struggling in the daemon's grip, Xandarian attacks in hopes of breaking free.
Round 15
Ulricha continues to hack away at the daemon with reckless abandon.

Alas no. You have traveled down the staircase. Though at the base of the staircase you could push open the big doors or look around the other rooms...
---
Jorrast pulls on the door handle... ... It could be locked but looking at the door it looks like the wood has swelled perhaps there is water or a liquid on the other side.
Still in the deamon's hold Xandarian,
Jorne is still holding the scepter down as blood pours down his body.

Round 16
It attacks with its three free limbs on Ulricha again as it tries to get a hold of the paladin with his other tendril.
(non lethal damage - plus grab)
Blood seems to collect into the air and forms into a mist and flying streams. At the end of the round they coalesce into a female form with glowing blue eyes, covered in blood, and armed with a cruel glowing dagger.
Jorne continues to bleed for the group and begins to heal himself. He channels to heal the living, .
Quince can see that the dark warrior is no longer 'possessed'. He looks drained of his health and is breathing slowly as he lays on the ground.
Once someone, likely Quince, gets next to him he smiles weakly. He states, "Thank you..." He seems like he would have said more but he seems to die violently as his body seems to cave in on itself.
Alice will you head back along the secret doors that still remain open, you quickly hear the sounds of battle.
Round 13
Alice double times it over towards the sound of battle and Ulricha shouting.
Round 14
Alice puts protective luck on the grappled Xandarian, and chants.
------------------
Round 15

Round 16
Her weapon glowing with an influx of divine power, Ulricha continues to attack seeking to rend the vile outsider limb from limb.
Round 16
Xandarian feels the welcoming power of healing from Jorne
Boffy yells in Celestial.
Xandarian performs two quick full attacks on the daemon.
Realizing that the door seems to just be stuck Jorrast tries to force it open....
Not being particularly strong he is slightly surprised when it opens. Glancing at whatever it is in the room he calls out. "I think there's another demon here to play with!"
He stares at the big creature, trying to hex it to weaken any attacks it make.
Vandomir will start checking at the various doors...
+2 vs Fey, +4 vs Humans, +4 Forests, +2 Underground
Round 16
The daemon fails to do much damage as the force of your attacks destroy it. Ulricha's attacks slice off limbs as Xandarian hits it with divine smiting.
Jorrast looks at the blood covered woman and attempts to Hex her. She raises her hand at the act... and the attack simply fails.
She giggles crazily and squints at your group, the smile doesn't leave her lips.
Round 17
Looking at the doors you see that the big doors in front of you are metal reinforced oak. They are sealed by a five inch thick beam of a dark wood of some kind. The other four doors in the entry hall seem to be rather plain, as if beyond would be the servants. You have seem some extravagant doors already.
Round 17
Xandarian coughs, as the daemon fall. Boffy jumps back up on the paladin's shoulder. "Thanks, Ulricha."
Looking around, the half-azata comments. "I hope that was it. With so much..disgusting evil around, I'm afraid to detect it and become overwhelmed by it."
There is a nearly naked covered in blood woman with a cruel looking dagger in the corner...
Xandarian is startled by the appearance of the bloody woman. "Yaaah!" The paladin holds his blade out before him.
Despite his trepidation, Xandarian casts detect evil at the blood covered woman.
Round 17
Alice focuses an evil eye hex on the woman for -4 to attacks.
She then chants to prolong the active hexes.
Ulricha turns to face the woman, axe still ready to attack waiting to see what she does, or hear what Xandarian has to say about her.
Round 17
She quickly cracks her neck and drops the dagger into the floor board where it sticks. Then she dances really well almost hypnotically, up to Jorrast. As she moves forward all the blood seems to disappear revealing a very attractive female elf in a monk's suit.
M14. Cloakroom: This side chamber provides access
to a series of secret passages on each level of the main
tower. Hidden trapdoors (DC 30 Perception check) in the
f loor and ceiling provide access to ladders leading up
and down—the trap door leading down is locked (DC 35
Disable Device to pick).
M15. Kitchen: This large room contains a stone fireplace
set with roasting spits and a hanging cauldron.
M16. Pantry: This storeroom contains cluttered shelves
and stacks of crates and casks holding all manner of
foodstuffs, seasonings, cooking oils, and preserved goods.
M17. Workshop: This dry, dusty chamber holds a variety
of tools and supplies for carpentry, leather-working,
sewing, and mortaring.
M18. Washroom: This chamber features a privy and a
large tub for washing.
M17 Workshop seems the best option though they all seem empty vacant, the fires in the kitchen are not even lit...
Round 17
Alice focuses, and as her eyes turn black as the void of space, shining particles form and attach themselves to the woman. The woman now sheds light like a candle, getting no benefit from concealment or any invisibility effect. Them clinging also to her eyes, she takes a -3 penalty to attacks and visual perception rolls. This lasts 4 rounds.
Alice resumes her chanting.
M17 it is, but not until after I raid M16 for any herbs and such that can be helpful with making Roci feel better, as well as food.
Once "safely" into M17, I'll check Roci out to determine the extent of her injuries and such. She seems awfully beat up.
Momentarily dazzled by the woman's dancing, Ulicha steps forward to attack, assuming her to be an enemy.
Round 17
Jorrast does watch what the strange lady is doing, but stays in place, apparently laughing. He then points at her and sends another hex at her.
Round 17
She dodges the attacks with ease as if apart of her dance. She looks at Jorrast and states, "It's not nice to Hex someone, poor manners!"
Round 18
In a velvety voice she states, "If you want to be so rude, then I will handle my uninvited guests."
In a blur of movement she smashes into Jorrast and Ulricha each with a kick, then a right palm hit to Jorrast's face and a knee to the back of his head. Though with the hexes she misses.

Seeing her companions take a beating, Alice puts protective luck on Ulricha.
Chant to prolong hexes.
Quince moves forward to foe at the top of the stairs poking it with his mace.
Jorrast slips and falls, and "laughs" at the woman. "Oh, you are SO right. I'm such a cad hexing you like this."
Quince moves forward to foe at the top of the stairs poking it with his mace.
[dice=Heal]1d20
Quince can see that the dark warrior is no longer 'possessed'. He looks drained of his health and is breathing slowly as he lays on the ground. He will not be getting up unless some severe healing occurs.
Once Quince, gets next to him he smiles weakly. He states, "Thank you..." He seems like he would have said more but he seems to die violently as his body seems to cave in on itself.
Quince winces, "To your rest. I hope it is a better place than this. Such evil will be brought to an end."
After a moment he looks to the stairs. The sounds of combat behind him pull him back and he moves toward his fellows still in the fray.
Round 13
The lightning and flames continue to burn on him, he channels to heal again. . A pool of blood grows below him.
Round 13
The lightning and flames continue to burn on him, he channels to heal again. . A pool of blood grows below him. He growls out to Quince, "I could use some healing!"

Ok, that is 33hp healed. She should now be at 43/43HP, which is 16 below her normal max, considering she has 8HD and is down 4 points of CON.
While he's at it, he'll heal himself up.
I think Vandomir is healed up now too.
It is Vandomir's intent to hold up in this closet for the night. He and Roci will be better able to find their way out in the morning.
What was I able to learn about her disease with that 23 Heal check?
Round 18
Alice puts a protective hex on Ulricha as Jorrast hexes the woman standing over him.
Round 19
Round 18
"She's not radiating evil", Xandarian communicates to the barbarian.
"Young lady, please put down the dagger. We won't hurt you, if you don't hurt us. Are you injured?"
Round 19
Alice quickly puts protective luck on Jorrast, and chants to prolong buffs/debuffs , hexes.
Round 18
She seems rather upset, "I already dropped the dagger. Did a little dance and they keep castings spells at me. Oh and this one keeps swinging that big hunk of metal of hers." Indicating Ulricha. "Fùűcking stop that already," She yells at Alice and Jorrast! "You people are attacking me!"
With the woman's comment, Alice only slightly raises an eyebrow.
Would she truly be unwilling to fight? In the least cease fire?
Quince hopes back a few steps calling to Erastil in Celestial as he pulls forth a wand.
Quince half jokes a concerned look in Celestial "You burning faster than we can heal you."
"And again Deadeye."
Is it praying or grunting? Hard to tell.
Another wave of healing hits Jorne.
Quince looks around at any others he can see "Anyone else needing some healing?"
"Guys.." Xandarian tried to say over the din of battle.
"Lords..LADIES!! HEY!!"
Jorrast looks at the "lady" and grins. "I'll stop if you do. But I haven't cast a single spell or done a single attack. My hexes do no damage. They just make it harder for you to win if you want to fight. Back off and let me stand and we can discuss this peacefully, and I can clean your slippery blood off of me...."
Round 18
Effortlessly shrugging off the woman's kick, Ulricha watches her movement, aware of the frantic verbal exchange through the haze of her rage. As Xandarian shouts and the others hold in a standoff, she holds her attacks, taking a moment and relinquishing the rage driving her in battle.
She steps back and the blood seemingly follows her.
Quince half jokes a concerned look in Celestial "You burning faster than we can heal you."
"And again Deadeye."
Quince looks around at any others he can see "Anyone else needing some healing?"
He coughs a bit of blood before stating, "Yes indeed. Thank you for the healing. The scepter can only be activated once a week so I am holding out to make the effect last as long as possible."
At several points he sheathes his dagger and holds a stop motion with his hand.
Like Jorrast, but without grinning, Alice replies to the woman.
"We inflict ho harm on you, if anything, we were pacifists in that regard."
But the intuition Alice got on this woman, is that she has a very dangerous presence about her.
She shakes her head with a sigh, speaking some words of 'relief', in hopes of the elf not understanding Sylvan.
"She is very dangerous, stay alert."
