Zabu falls but almost immediately gets back up as Jeeves pumps healing power through him.
Unfortunately, he was out long enough for his rage to fail him.
"Good hit," he says, begrudgingly, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth.
Though he's not as good at it when he's not angry, he tries to tackle the elemental to the ground and then pound on it with his spiked gauntlet.
Jeeves move closer and heals Zabu while Patrick smacks it with lightning.
Fortiva uses Zabu attack to drive her sword in the creatures side
Zabu wakes up, trips the creature again and strikes it with his gauntlet
Despite relatively weak strike from Zabu, the creature stops moving ...
As you finish the battle, 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, and the returned PCs, 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."

Patrick is relieved that the fight is over and vows to go to the Temple of Desna to give thanks.
He then gives the story of the mission. I should write this up properly while it is still fresh Master Greathammer. I will also include the verses of the Song I was able to retrieve. As for the music, I will have to leave that to those more versed in the notation than I

"I told you I didn't need your help!" Zabu declares as he delivers the knockout blow. He gives the creature a couple more punches for good measure and to burn up some pent up aggression.
"What's to tell? We went through the portal, found some lost gnomes, hung out in Nivi Rhombodazzle's house and came back," Zabu says with an exaggerated shrug.
"Oh, and saved Kreighton Shane and some Pathfinder Agents who have been lost for decades."

Jeeves watches in satisfaction is the group capably takes down the remaining threat. The humble servant unpacks his healers tools and offers to treat wounds -- two at a time. "You look extra wounded, Master Zabu. Perhaps some more magical soothing?"
With the group sufficiently healed, Jeeves retrieves his silver tray and serves drinks all around from his jug. For the debrief, Jeeves strums his lyre and sings,
♫"Our story must be told. We started with a briefing.
Zabu very bold. Fortiva good at thiefing.
We'll need to use some magic. And well-read in some tomes.
Jeeves and Master Patrick. All went to find the gnomes."♫
Jeeves sips some ale and continues...
♫"We fought some aberrations. (Shaine was not around.)
No time for celebrations. Lost lyrics to be found.
Reached a town at last. Irlah's trust we gained.
Goth encased in glass. And Eltha mad at Shaine."♫
Jeeves concludes...
♫"A dragon we respected. At Nivi's house we stayed.
More lyrics we collected. And dice games that we played.
Portal long was broken. Years they've been alone.
Lyrics have it open. Got them safely home!"♫
After another sip from his mug, the bard presents the lost lyrics, along with musical accompaniment, to the school Masters.
