Without a cleric or a lucky string of will-saves, making it to the top of Valor's Fastness was a challenge that left most of them slowed and fatigued. Unfortunately, Rahl and the party's bard reached the top first to be greeted by Oppian and Mindaleil the archon. Knowing they'd stand little chance in a straight up fight, Rahl used his climb speed to cling to the wall and hopefully go unnoticed while the bard vanished and did the same. Unfortunately, an invisibility purge made the bard be visible. They dropped to the roof of the second floor to escape. Rahl also dropped to the roof of the second floor, but only because Mindaleil flew down to strike him and Oppian air-walked off the edge and cut him down to -3. The fall took the rest of his HP.

Ready to take Oppian and his archon head-on, the anti-paladin bravely stood his ground on the cursed stairs despite being afflicted by slow and fatigue. They whittled him down pretty slowly to about 12 hp until Mindaleil apparently decided she'd had enough and full attacked for about 40.
