Another pair of magic missiles strikes the bebilith square in the thorax. The demon takes a step, pauses ... then collapses, narrowly missing Fizahn. The bebilith's legs twitch spasmodically as it writhes helplessly on the ground. After a few moments, its glowing eyes fade to black and the demon is still.

Taern, her hand amputated, lies semiconscious against the wall. Graevic, too, is badly injured. Thokk wobbles on his feet, trying to fight off the effects of the bebilith's poison. As the adrenaline rush of combat fades, Fizahn's bleeding arm begins to throb with pain.

The rest of you breathe a sigh of relief that you've survived the combat unscathed.

As you turn your attention to the portal, you see images continue to flicker across the opening. A young girl can be seen. Her hair is tied back, revealing fine features. Her brow is wrinkled in worry. Dark humanoid forms around her, many heavily armed and armored, loom threateningly ...

A low rumble is felt almost before it is heard. A few pebbles fall from the irregular ceiling overhead ...


OOC: Elthan I finishes off the bebilith with 8 (5 + 3) points of damage. Elthan II does not lose his spell.
