The halfling cleric attempts to recognize the spell cast by the lich so as to be better able to counter it. Spellcraft = 29, more than required to identify the spell
Than, realizing that the magic of his Circle may not be sufficient, Belkior concentrates before casting a spell to disrupt the mist summoned by the lich. A wall of wind arises where the lich has summoned the mist and begins to disperse it. Concentration = 49
Actions Standard - cast Wind Wall (running from G5 to G8, G8 to F8, F8 to F5, F5 to E5, E5 to E8; height all the way to the ceiling; CL check = 40)

Jass Casts his Disintigrate at the Demon but it manages to shrug off most of the spell. (Saved)
Between Vedik and Belkior the Mist is disipated.
Dwight fires his arrows at the Demon and Manages to stagger it for 1 round.
The Nalfeshnee Swings at Dwight who is still in range and hits him with an Awesome Blow (Hits CMB 44 for 20 Damage, Dwight is slammed into the Door behind him and knocked prone)
From the Mist the Knights see another Demon who attempts to rip apart Mac and Monthor. The Creatures tries to claw and bite Monthor but the Dwarfs defenses are to strong so it switches to the Big Minotuar. (Mac is Hit Once for 18 Damage).
M'ri looking a bit worried now Puts Vedik in a Maze again as he seems to be the one calling the shots.
Movement: One resolute 5' step towards M'ri if the new monster falls.
Attack Effects: If the monster falls - Free Indimation Check (Dreadful Carnage) = 52 vs (10+ M'ri's Hit Dice + M'ri's Wisdom modifier) to render M'ri shaken, plus 1 round for every 5 by which the target is exceeded.

"The demon is a distraction, get the lich", Jass mimics sarcastically as Dwight goes flying. The light show about the demon is continuing to glow and there is only a incorporal sorcerer and halfling cleric in the demon's way.
"And since Belkior is concentrating on the lich, it's my job to keep the demon looking at me." Jass lets the demon have it with a Cone of Cold (aiming to avoid Belkior) and then follows up with a Quickened Magic Missle (which only affects incorporal beings)

OOC: My initial thought since I'm hasted, was that I can active my boots of teleportation, and then fire one arrow. Course having just re-read the rules, I realize this is wrong. Thus some of my first rolls are not used.
Dwight is taken aback by his pounding, gives the demon a frighteningly cheerful halfling smile as he loads his bow again. A small dribble of blood is seen dripping from his nose from the wall impact. "Time to know what it feels like when a porcupine rolls on you."
OOC: If Jass killed the demon already, Dwight moves to F12, full movement - hasted
When the demon falls, Dwight makes haste towards F12.

Mac swings away at the Demon in front of him, opening large gashes across the beast.
Vedik is lost in the Maze spell.
Monthor Teleports himself behind M'ri
Tratain steps up to try and finish the Demon but can't seem to connect with it.
Jass Hits his Demon with a Cone of Cold which the beast takes full on, he looks angry, but only for a second as Dwight hits it with several more arrows and the beast falls over and dissipates.
The Demon looking like its on its last legs swings away madly at the Minotaur that hurt it so badly. It his Mac with one of its Pincers for 19 Damage, The Bites him for 16 Damage. The hit Claws him twice for 18 Damage and 18 Damage.
M'ri fires off a Crackling black ray at Monthor but misses the Dwarf.

Mac looks to call in support - deciding that the best way to get Monthor's back from here is to clamber over/through the corpse... once it is a corpse. "Dwight? Tratain? Reckon you can drop this from there?"

"I'll clear it away!", calls Jass to the big minotaur. The sorcerer wills himself corporal again, and then guides a set of Magic Missles into the demon. These are immediately followed by more Quickened Magic Missles that strike the demon (or M'ri if demon is gone).

Dwight grins, happy with himself as one demon falls and another is request to become a pin cushion. As his loads his bow and takes aim, he recalls how this is similar to how Dwight joined the group of Grey Knights to begin with -- battling demons (though the group was also morphed into demons) at the time.
Knowing the distance is going to be great, Dwight holds onto hope. (if demon falls, then attacks are another -4 to hit M'Ri)

The dark taur is gladdened to see the myriad of magic missile scores and arrows. Mac attempts to stomp 10' through hopefully fallen and dissipating demon to flank M'ri with Monthor. If the move (at speed 60') leaves room for it, he takes a swing at M'ri for good measure - 1:[41|miss] - or not...

Jass Fires his Magic Missile's At the Demon and it keels over and dissipates, sent back to where it came from. His Missile's directed at M'ri however are stopped by her shield spell.
Vedik Finds his way out of the Maze spell.

the group has in hand 5 of the 8 needed soulgems. 1 is almost certainly with the second dread lord, Bas Anut, who spoke of aidin the Knights in thier first encounter. Another is probably in possession of Pindar, who fled from one of the last fights, but his whereabouts are a complete mystery and the last has to be connected in some way with the Draco lich as that gem was also never found after battlig the dead dragon. Of all of them, only the location of Bas Anut is known, he waits within the Parthanon north of the mansion where the knights are currently about 700' away. Assuming of course that he is indeed still waiting.
thr group seems to be inclined to follow Dwight's idea and head to the Parthanon. The devil is always in the details, as Jass reminds the group of the horde in the foyer, not a force any seem inclined to want to deal with on any level. the Sorceror suggest Dimensional Door to the mausoleum where the two groups first met and journey out from there....

"Anyone have a locate object ssspell? The gemsss are not findable, but other thingsss likely are -- sssay sssomething Pindar wasss wearing." Dwight offers this up for thought hoping someone has that spell.
OOC: This would be great witch spell, but sadly not.

With Monthor singing an old dwarven marching tune, Jass takes that as agreement to his plan.
He Dim Doors the Crimson Shields to the entrance to the Mausoleum, DDs back, and DDs a third time with the Gray Knights, thus having the group bypass the horde. "The advantage to a sorcerer", he grins.
"You Gray Knights know the path to the Parthenon", he jibes, "lead on, McDuff!"

The halfling cleric retches after being teleported by Jass. Despite how many times it has happened, Belkior's stomach never quite agrees with the idea of suddenly being moved to another location in the Wold.

To the Parthanon Thursday April 7th, 2011 10:52:11 PM
The group moves quietly and fairly quickly to within view of the Parthanon. To the party's right in the ancient and twisted grove of trees that was once a beautiful orchard, they can still hear Plyf's voice locked in song. She still sounds strong and sure the the melody is one of love and fills all with a sense of a greater belonging. Ahead, about 50' lie the first of the 20 marble steps leading up and into the massive parthanon. Still completely shielded on it interior by a grey swirling mist. the party is about halfway between the north and south end, approaching from the west. The building itself measures nearly 200' from end to end and is 50' wide and the group already knows that once inside that grey wall of nothing the structure is completely open to the sky. they also know that one of the Dread lords and his undead guard are somewhere within. An undead lord who self reported wanted to help, but one of course must consider the source of such claims.
It has been 30 minutes from the end of the last fight. Please note the time lapse to all spells

Dwight follows along keeping and eye out for anything that may have changed. "The remaining Lich may be desssparate by now and fled to get our friendly Lichesss," which Dwight says with complete sacrasm. "If thisss isss the cassse we definitely ssshould focusss on the one that fled. I don't trussst the other, but not attacking him initially might make our battle easssier -- for now," he adds.
As they approach, Dwight looks for those watchful eyes again.

"If talking to the lich can work, I'm a convincing speaker", Jass volunteers. "At the least, it should point us to where the other liches are. And if it doesn't, we can always kill him and take his Soul Gem."
Jass waits for Mac, Monthor, and Tratain to lead and strides confidently after them, his dead eyes focused to confront this "friendly" lich.

Inside Parthanon Monday April 11th, 2011 9:00:21 PM
The group moves and ascends the steps unmolested and passes through the misty veil and into the Parthanon. 4 great bronze braziers glow with a dull yellow and green sick smoke. Suspended in midair about 30' up and spaced evenly down the center of the great structure. To the north stands the lich self identified as Bas Anut 100' away. About 50' stand 4 large skeletal creatures. next to Anut stand two more. At the opposite end in the south stands the lich the group was fighting not so long ago, also 100' away and another cadre of 4 large skeletons stand between the group and him. He, unlike Bas Anut, does not have any personal skeletal guard. Within the Parthanon, the outside world is plain as the bright day, but the sweet song that Plyf sings, cannot be heard. However other, more disturbing sounds do drift in on the wind. The distant sound of cracking bone and ripping flesh. Oily feathers beating hard against the wind. The slow creaking of rope pulled tight over a dead piece of wood.
Nothing within moves, it is apparently up to one of the living to act first.

Dwight expects a portion of this to be an illusion, but isn't going to just stand and do nothing. He loads his bow, and moves 10' to the side of the large parthanon awaiting a word of caution from his comrades who might identify the trap/illusion.
If nothing is said suggesting he not (and he waits as he slides over loading his bow), he fires before the giant vulture arrives. He aims at the Lich the group fought recently, unsure if he is actually there.
(OOC: I'm guessing only one attack -- as I need to know what happens before I fire again.)

Jass doesn't hesitate, the plans of the encounter already identified. He strides maybe 10 feet beyond Mac, Monthor and the others, and speaks, pitching his voice to be heard throughout the Parthenon.
"You know our mission and you know what we intend to do. The last three Soul Gems are with you two, the only two liches left. Surrender yours and the Dracolich's Soul Gems, or we will fight you for it."
Jass' black eyes watch the two liches carefully, assessing his use of diplomacy and intimidation equally. Any information the dead spellcasters may reveal could be used by the heroes...

Bas' Anut straightens at Jass's words. "It is as you say." His words come slow and measured. "Surely there could be combat between us, to determine who will control the Soul Gems. But that will likely get neither of us what we so desire."
Bas' Anut remains silent for a few moments before continuing. "I must congratulate you all. You have done well, and even arrived here quicker than expected. But, Gray Knights, it is time for you engage in your final mission. Turn over all of the gems to me, that I might open the portal to the Dread Master, that you may end the threat to your lands."
Bas' Anut stands in a fixed position awaiting your response showing no aggression.
Jass of Downs AC:27 CMD: 22 HP: 197/178 Wednesday April 13th, 2011 11:22:33 PM
Jass smiles a grim grin, and responds matter-of-factly. "I see you take me for a fool. You know we are the heroes and you are not to be trusted. We will do what we say while you will stab us in the back at first opportunity. We know this and you know this and based on us both knowing, we should be able to both get what we want."
Jass begins holding up fingers, counting off points. "One, we want to kill the Dread and need to summon it with the eight Soul Gems to get to him. Therefore WE need all eight.
"Two, you and Pindar there want to survive this day, and the only way you will do that is if you give us all three remaining Soul Gems and then run. Therefore, YOU don't need any of them.
"Three..." and Jass pauses as if considering and then continues on. "Nope, there isn't a three. You give us the gems or you die. I think I'll give you 12 seconds to decide."

Dwight holds his bow in place seeing this isn't sounding as good as he had hoped. Still he awaits, though he waits knowing the counter-argument as he thinks it in his head -- "Ah, but having all eight is not enough to summon the Lord, you must know the ritual."

The undead dread smiles smuggly, his red eyes glowing with an eerie luminence.
"But the truth is, while you are all of little consequence to me, and of little more than an inconvience even if you vanquish me. I truly wish to see you suceed, as I despise none more than the dread master. Give me the Soul Gems and you will be ready to face the dread master in moments.
