Theren once again advances on the angel and attempts to run him through.
Moving to K12 and making a basic attack.

If not, just ignore these next rolls.1d20 + 28 ⇒ (8) + 28 = 361d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35Alright, no matter what I missed.
Cast Crown of Light on Lurean, gain +5 to all defenses until my next turn.
Also a burst of light flashes out centered on Lurean doing damage to all foes hit.
1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43 3d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) + 13 = 22
Stunned as he is, Remliel uses his inherent powers to force Theren to attack again, causing the elf to mistime his blows and miss.
Divine light springs from Tavar's hands and he places a protective crown on Lurean's head. As the crown settles, it sends a shaft of ferocious light into Remliel, although the angel deflects some of the damage.
Remliel can't do anything. He's stunned. He's adjacent to Theren at the end of his turn and takes 5 damage.

More like the "Why are we still in combat?!" type of metagame. Either he's still alive or someone new's going to come up and punch us.

Lurean sees nothing that should not be there. The area contains the fallen bodies of many foes and the now unguarded pit which the seal so recently covered.

A glint of pure sunlight catches your eye from the bottom of the pit. Even fifty feet below the surface, the pure radiance of the Sun's Sliver catches your attention.
No more trusting than the rest of his friends, and aware that his athletic ability is lacking, Lam merely readies an attack should Remliel return miraculously to life.

With Remliel's final passing, the last barrier to taking the Sun's Sliver falls away. The artifact almost leaps into Lavender's hands. Instinctively the mage knows what the wonderous item was meant to do and how it can help the group accomplish their purpose.
Details below:
Property: The creature who possesses the Sun’s Sliver suffers no ill effect from cold weather and has ice walk.
Property: Resist cold 10
Property: Cannot be crafted
Power (Daily): Standard Action. Effect: You and allies within 5 squares of you regain the use of their second wind and all spent encounter powers.
Power (Daily): Standard Action. Effect: Use against the Winter Witch when she is unconscious and at 0 hit points or fewer. This use permanently destroys Koliada the Winter Witch and the Sun’s Sliver.
Beneath the Sun's Sliver lies a small chest, beautifully carved and intricately locked. Clearly of high value in itself worth 15,000gp, the contents are also interesting.

Rev, I'm going to have to drop Lam out of this one. Life has been crazy chaotic lately, and I hate to be slowing down some games as much as I have been. Not to mention my own game that I'm running. I will be sticking to posting with Gobi as it is an older game and one I will be able to manage fine with just playing in the two games.
Thank you all for the chance to try out Epic level play
You'll be missed Lam, but that makes perfect sense. Good to know that Gobi will continue and one Thovir will still be around. I'm sorry things have got so hectic for you and hope they settle down a bit soon.

Lam looks his old friends up and down with affection and regret. "You do what you need to do." He pauses slightly, gathering his thoughts.
"Killing an angel ... I'm a paladin. I can't just do that and expect no consquences. My friends, Avandra's ways are sometimes hard, but the choices are there to be made. My head says I should journey on with you and end a great evil. My heart says I must make expiation for the death of Remliel. Forgive me, friends. I must follow my heart."
Without waiting for an answer, he turns to go.
Spoiler:
You are now down to five. This is workable (the adventure is scaled for five).
That's not an unbalanced party as such, but I think you need a bit more striker power. You've essentially got 3 more encounters to go. For the sake of simplicity, I'll haul out Alasandro rather than recruiting, if that is an acceptable solution to you all.
Elf Avenger/Zealous Assassin/Harbringer of Doom 23
"Fare well, Lam. If everyone had the disposition for this work, then it wouldn't need to be done."
Yeah, I agree, bring Alasandro back. We could use a striker doesn't just concentrate on one big enemy. Also, who's going to hold onto the Sun's Sliver? On one hand, as the person who's probably going to run up to the Winter Witch first, I would probably benefit from the ice walk/cold resistance the most. On the other hand, who knows if enough people are going to bear me to make good use of the first daily, and if I die in the fight someone's going to have to get it off my corpse before we can actually kill her, and who knows how long it takes for her to get back up.
Tactically it might make more sense to hand the Sun's Sliver to someone on the fringes of the battle. We can't use it until we've got her down to 0 anyway and although Theren and Genryu are awesomely destructive, even at their best using all dailies and APs and buffed to the eyeballs they're not going to take her in one round.
I'll get Alasandro back from wherever it was he didn't say he was going to. He'd quite fancy one of the potions of spirit if nobody else has prior claim.

Sorry to see you go Lam. Rev, Sounds good with the striker. Haven't really had the please since he was going out the front door when I was coming in the back.
The Sun's Sliver in hand and ruminating on Lam's departure, the group return to Winterhaven to report on their progress and consult with Valthrun the Prescient.

"Yes, yes, Valthrun. I know about fey portals. We can manage that part easily enough. It's getting to the mountains in time that worries me."
The nonedescript figure pacing the room looks up in delight at your entry.
"Welcome back. Let's go. We have mountains to climb and portals to open. I'm bringing my sketch pad. The light should be astonishing. What did you do with Lam? Not badly injured?"
