Filburn lashes out, concerned for the potential that the party might soon be getting surrounded. His first swing suffers as a result, but through the mythic power conveyed by the world stone, he lashes out again- this time connecting and deeply wounding one of the goat-headed demons.

Morevek executes a particularly deft strategy, and is rewarded by several injuries to the demonic denizens. None manages to fell one of their own allies, but none of them escape unhurt. Then he dodges between a pair of them, driving his sword into their flanks. Another pair of demons (Abrikandilu and Schir) fall.

Elrembriel conjures a think bank of fog from the ground beneath the demons' feet. Perhaps consequently, as the demons approach and attack (one dretch dies to an AoO), none of them manage to connect.

Meanwhile, Waylan makes a daring rescue attempt. Bolstered by his own God's gift of flight and Elrembriels nearly unreasonable haste, the cleric lands, scoops an arm under Aurora and begins to rise. Even as he flies away, the witches voice appears in his mind once more. "Oh, I think not. She still has much to answer for."

A simple word from the witch seems to sap the party of much of their strength

Filburn's Bull's Strength, Waylan's Fly and Morevek's Mage armor have all just been dispelled, along with the majority of the Elrembriel's fog cloud (she can't quite reach the center to dispel the effect, but it is suppressed within her 20-foot burst).
. Then, as Waylan begins to fall to the ground, a brilliant ray of colored energy lances out from the demoness. Waylan almost drops Aurora immediately, as his muscles wither and atrophy in an instant (He takes a 10 str penalty from a ray of enfeeblement). As they land, he finds himself in a similar position to Aurora- almost unable to move, and suddenly her apparent apathy makes a little more sense.

If that weren't enough, a pair of huge (mechanically large) locust-like demons climb from the mass. Easily 12-feet long, one nonetheless takes wing to rise above its companions and charge. Vorlesh also demonstrates that her wings are not merely for show. She takes to the air, but stays near her army.
