Sideon shakes off the blow and heads back into the fray, slicing at Blue. He makes contact and removes more of Blue's rocky hide. Merisiel manages to twist around and poke Blue from White's jaws. As Blue stiffens, Sideon takes advantage of the momentary distraction and drives his dagger in deep. Blue shudders violently before disintegrating into pebbles. Merisiel then manages to slap a battle dressing on herself.

While Mila heads to higher ground, Red rumbles closer, finally noticing a small figure nearby. It swings a large rocky fist at Rex.

Rex has his bells rung but takes the hit like a champ.
White tightens its jaws around Merisiel and begins to squeeze.

Sideon slashes Red twice but only hits with the first. Mila's fireball of doom roars in. White manages to avoid the worst of the explosion but Red catches it right in the face and is blown to smithereens! ().

Irlah notices the limp form of Merisiel and pumps some much needed healing into the elf. Merisiel stands up with a groan, picks up her weapons and launches her dagger at White. Unfortunately, the dagger cleanly misses. Sideon slashes at the monster and connects with his first shot. Blood begins to pour and White is starting to look ragged.

White again is unimpressed with Rex's fanfares. Perhaps it knows of more impressive fanfares wherever it comes from... Rex then shows it the end result of messing with the Pathfinders. White is a bit shaken, but takes it in stride.

Mila adds more apocalyptic visions to White. This time White isn't able to totally discount the vision and appears ragged.

Sideon miraculously manages to avoid the teeth. However, his tooth (aka dagger) also doesn't connect with White. Merisiel stabs at White thrice, trying desperately to hit something. Her first slash misses but then her second poke finds one of the creature's eyes, plunging to the hilt. Blood (or ichor) fountains and the creature trembles before collapsing to the floor in a heap.
"Stop Piltineff! Irlah shouts, "Let me help that valiant elf instead!"
As the last monster falls, Kreighton and Effeflinn finally push back all creatures from the portal and it closes with a loud chime. They begrudgingly acknowledge each other's work. Irlah, Eltha, and Piltineff look around in wonder at the Grand Lodge after a century away.
Gorm Greathammer, out of breath, examines the carnage in the Archive. He notes the dead gogiteth, the closed portal, all of you, as well as the missing members of the Rhombodazzle expedition.
Gorm Greathammer rubs his chin, momentarily at a loss for words. "I look forward to hearing what happened. For now, I'm just glad that you were on this mission. I think things would have gone badly for all of us without your efforts. Once you've had a chance to recover from this battle, I look forward to hearing your story. If you have anything to say about Nivi Rhombodazzle's house, I'd love to hear it. Your discovery of her magic dice is a tale worthy of the Pathfinder Chronicles."
Irlah also approaches you with her own token of thanks: a series of sketches she drew over the years detailing every part of Nivi Rhombodazzle's house.
Thanks for playing all! I must say this was the craziest run I've had for this scenario. The first time was a dream... Thank you all for participating in my first formal review.
